From His Old Home Town.

When the evenin shade is fallin' at
the en1in' of the day, an faller rests
from labor smokin at his pipe %
clay, theirs nothin' does him so much
good, be fortune up or down, as the
little country paper from his oil home
town. 1t amt thing of beauty, an
it's print amt always clean, but it
straightens out his temper when a fell
ler's feelin' mean; it takes the wrink-
les off his face an brushes off the
frown, that little country paper from
his OF home town. It tells of all the
parties, an the balls of Punkin Row,
bout who spent Sunday with his gill
an how the crops will grow, and how
it keeps Teller posted bout who's up
and who's down, that little country
paper from the Of home town. Now
/ like to read the daiies an the other
papers, too, an at all times the yellow
novels, an someother trash too, don
you? But when / want some readin'
that'll brush away a frown, l want
that little paper from my OF home
town. Exchange.
The above editorial is, to our mind,
a very logical reason, and if well
founded goes to show that honesty is
best after all. The same medicine
was served out to the democratic party
of Tennessee. The people will rule
aud cut the official head off of those
rascals sooner or later.

| S3ecI0i 10 The WS7OS.
A bad occurrence happened in this
section of the country last Tuesday.
A half witted colored man named
John Springs, went to the Widow Ro-
vans home and raised a quarrel with
Mrs. Rowan and her daughter, Elsie.
They ordered him off but he would
not go and Elsie went out with a pis-
toll to try to drive him off, whereupOn
he seized her weapon and took it from
her and beat her in the face with it in
shameful manner, and threatened to
kill her, but her mother seized crow
bar and beat him over the head. Some
of the neighbors hearing the cries OF
the women, gathered in and the negro
ran off. They 'phoned to Sheriff Hig
ginbotham, but he was in Nashville.
Some of the neighbor men got him
and took him to McMinnville, and he
is now in Jail at that place to await
the setting of court.

TWO MULE STORIES
ON GENERAL GRAN 7

The following civil war incident oc-
Cured at City Point, Va, a few
months before Lees surrender. When
Grant was strolling along the wharf
one afternoon he saw big, brutal
looking army teamster belaboring a
mule with billet of wood, and accom-
panyiug his blows with profanity. The
general calmly said, MY man, stop
beating that mule" Looking around
at the understood and transformations
appearing person in plain army
blouse, he answered, Say, be you
driving these here cussed mules, or be
IY' and down came the cudgel again,
the mule dodging and jumping the
tongue of the wagon. ''Well, said
Grant, II think l have sufficient au-
thority here to stop your cruelty to
that animal" anil turning to the cap
tain in charge, he ordere1 him to have
the teamster ''tied up for twenty
four hours when he returned to camf,
and report the fact to headquarters
when done The news spread rapidly
from camp to camp, and there was
much less mule mauling after that in
the army of the Potomac.
For the concluding anecdote of this
article, which follows, describing
Grants management of a mule when
he was quartermaster of the fourth in
fantry during the Mexican war, l am
indebted to Gen. Longstreet of the
confederate army, who witnessed the
incident He said substantially.
son one occasion Grant had to deal
with newly arrived drove of unman
ageable mules. With detail of many
men and ropes he attempted to harness
troublesome mule, but failed. Then
he tried another experiment with the
obstinate animal He ordered him ia
ken to large rock not far distant,
and backed as close to the obstruction
as possible without actually coming in
contact with it. Three men were d.
rected to hold the beast by the head,
ears and neck, and on no account to
permit him to advance from the rock.
A fourth man was then ordered to lap
the harness on quickly, AS soon as
the buckles began to fasten, the null
became reckless and ugly. With sud
den spring forward he succeeded in
getting some four feet away from the
rock. and his heels cracked fiercely
and savagelv against the rock for a
short time 1t was new and novel
experience, also apparently most
painful one, for the battered hind feet
were lifted again ami again, but very
gently. and only one at time, while
its head and ears Topped. The mule
was cured, and the problem successful
ly solved. Grant and his men return
ed to camp that afternoon, having &C
complished their mission taking the
kick out of drove of as unmanage-
able mules as ever hauled salt pork
and hard tack. Memphis Commercial
