BAG COONS
AND JACK
RABBITS

A successful hunting trip was
made last Sunday by Dan Booney and
a crowd of friends in the southern
part of the county. They bagged
three eoons and six long-eared jack
rabbits. The coons were captured d
few miles west of Liberty, and one
of the ring-tailed brers was what
the darkey would call "whopper."
All three of the coons were fat 9nd
had the appearance of being chicken
fed. One big lanky hound was in
the hunt, and the foxy lacks" were
routed from their respective lairs
and sent bouncing away by the dog,
much to the pleasure of the party.
The "dawg" could not compete with
the rabbits, however, and his wind
was not good, but the trusty shotgun
stopped a few of them in their wild
races for life.

JUDGE PATTERSON
MAY OWN REELFOOT

Judge N. A. Patterson, the sage of
Vineland, may come into possession of
Reelfott Lake. He has recently been
advised through A. S. Dickey, of Chat
tanooga, that the original grants for
this property from the state of North
Carolina to James Patterson, father of
the judge, and duly recorded at Raj
eigh, n. c. He had the deeds last
week and made copies of them and no
trace of a sale or transfer has ever been
found. Some old residents of Chatta-
nooga remember to have heard their
fathers say that James Patterson spoke
of his land in West Tennessee having
sunk and it is supposed he thought it
worthless after that and let it go.
Judge Patterson has furnished us
full details of the interesting story for
publication next week.

PEN NAMES OF WOMEN WRITERS
Origin Of George Eliot"-Why Mrs
Harrison Chose Lucas MaIst."

Miss Gregg, who Is known as sgd |
ney c. Grier," chose Sydney" because
it might be interpreted as either {
masculine or feminine designation
"Grier'' is a Shetland name, and all
that time she was much interested II
those far away isles. "C' was insert
ed to make the name look natura
surname.
Mrs. Harrison's reason for conceal
ment as Lucas Malet" was that she
did not think it right to trade orr
the Kingsley name, lest she should
DO it discredit, She therefore chose
the "surnames of her grandmother
and great-grandmother both women OF
remarkable intelligence and character
The pseudonym OF George Eyer
ton adopted by the lady now Mary
Chavelita Golding- Bright, also springs
from family associations. Her moth
er's name was Isabel George Byron
and George Bynon' was her first dis
guise. But the name Of Bynon had
been unlucky, and it was quickly
dropped for that of "Egerton" the
baptismal name of her second hus
band. Under the distinctive comb
nation" of George Egerton she has
published nine works since 1893.
Mary Ann Evans called herself
George Eliot" because the first name
was the Christian name OF her hAs
band, and Eliot" was a fine, short
full sounding name that matched hei
style and story"

That the scoffers and cross-question-

several questions, and in each instance
received a prompt reply. His final

faith In Christ and was baptised by
Elder Paul Walker. In 1889, un-

From that time he said he had no
fears in death. HIS affection lasted
Through many months, but he sub.
mitted himself to God and bore
testimony to the last. He frequently
spoke of his departure, and on the
last sad night, calmly, as if prepar'
ing for a journey, he gave instruc-
tons concerning everything. He
was conscious to the last, knew he
was dying, said his time had come
and he was glad to go. After telling
us all good bye, giving us parting
message, telling US not to grieve,
but rejoice, because all his sufferings
would be over, he breathed his last
