l am man that has seen sorrow and
trouble.
/ once was light hearted and gay.
Not coin in this world can / borrow,
Since my own l have squandered away.
l once wronged my father and mother,
To beg or to lie in the gutter to die,
And to enter their dwelling no more
Chorus:
l am a man that has done wrong to
my parents,
AS daily I've wandered about.
To earn small mite,
For my shelter at night
God help me for now I'm cast out.
My father will say when he meets me,
You begger, you still are at large,
Be- careful and don't come too near me
Or else / will give you in charge.
My mother is nearly heart broken,
For me she often contrives
To hand me a coin with her head hang

And the tears falling fast from her
eyes.
Chorus:
Ny sister she married Squire,
But she dare not speak one word to me,
For, ah in this world she is higher,
AS she rides in her carriage so free.
The girl that once loved so dearly
Is dying broken-hearted they say,
She's now on her bed, lying almost
dead,
For the outcast she oftimes doth pray.

STOLE MULE
And Was Arrested on Hill City
Bridge by Chattanooga Officer.

Thomas Defur, living near Whit
we'll, was arrested in Chattanooga Fri
day for stealing mule, the property
Of VIM. Smith, who lives east OF that
place. Defur, who was in Whitwell
Thursday, left on the local saying be
was going to Chattanooga to take a
job. He got off the train at Victoria
and talked with the postmaster there,
telling him his plans, but instead of
boarding the train crossed over the
valley to William Smiths where he
took fine mule from his stable, sad
died and bridled it, and left. The
mules mate, however, became rest
less, and made SO much racket that
Mr.. Smiths son, Henry, got up to in
yestigate, and Immediately discover
ing the loss, set about to trace the
missing animal. With others he fol-
lowed tracks to the mountain road
leading to Chattanooga, and deciding
that the thief had gone in that direct
ion, telephoned to the sheriff at Chat
tanooga to station an othcer at the
bridge over Tennessee river, giving
description Of the mule stolen. Early
Friday morning Defur attempted to
cross the river on the bridge, but was
arrested by the officer in waiting, and
lodged in Jail, information being sent
80 Smith that his mule had been recov-
cred and an arrest made.
This is Defur's second time to gel
into trouble, as he forged an endorse
snent to note some time ago, attempt
ing to secure money from the Marion
Trust and Banking Company at Jas
per. This matter, however, was abou
to be patched up without serious
trouble, but this new difficulty nov
arising gets him still further involved
in the meshes of the law.

III Health More Expensive Than Any Cure.

This country Is now filled with peo-
pie who migrate across the continent
in all directions, seeking that which
gold cannot buy. Nine-tenths of them
are suffering from throat and lung
trouble or chronic catarrh, resulting

tunes vainly trying to regain lost
health. Could every sufferer but I'M
do the past and cure that first neg
lected cold, all this sorrow, pain, anx-
iety and expense could have been
avoided. Chamberlain Cough Rene
dy is famous for its cures of colds,
and can always be depended upon.
Use it and the more serious diseases
may be avoided. For sale by Whit
