FOUND COW INSTEAD OF HORSE.

On Thursday morning when the
stables Of the Misses Davis on South
Front Street we're visited for the puT-
pose Of feeding their horse, a COW was
found occupying the stall, instead OF
their horse. At first it was thought
that the exchange had been made by
thieves but upon further, investigation,
it was revealed that the halter Of the
horse and the bridal were both in the
stable. and the conclusion was reached
that the horse had strayed out and
that the COW had strayed in. The COW
was Unidentified and it is thought that
the horse has strayed out to their farm

Mutualism in Tennessee has a Pc
culiar and interesting history. It
was born in sister state originally,
with no thought of ever leaving it's
borders. Based as it was on the
strong ties of Equality, Mutually
Fellowship and Liberality it knew no
bounds. 1t spread with wonderful ra-
pidity The founders of it advocated
its great principles and so fervently
presented and perpetuated its views
that it leaped out of the mother state
and found hearty reception in 1908
in old Tennessee. Being planted in
Tennessee soil, guided by the Omnipo-
tent hand, its success is assured. Ad-
versities in its incipiency temporarily
impeded its success. Finally the
cloud of dependency was dispelled.

The Negro occupies a rather unique
place in the history, of the American
nation, because of his past and pres
ent standing. For a number of years
he was considered incapable of self
government. He was considered
nothing but beast of burden. There
were times when he groaned beneath
the burden of affection Manhood
was crushed and his eyes were closed
to the true sense of his condition,
but as time rolled on the handwrit-
ing on the wall was wildly displayed

It's burning every day;
Catch hold of the work earnestly,
1t will guide you all the way.
You've wandered in the mountain,
You've tried to stand alone;
You've leaped within the darkness
Amidst a frightful groan.
Equality is our watchword,
Mutually is our aim;
Fellowship we cannot forget,
Liberality links the chain.
