BEAUTY OUTSIDE OF CITIES
Rural Districts Have Opportunities
Which They Too Often Have
Neglected.

Nearly all talk we hear, either from
private individuals or from public off,
cials, IL 1t be on the question OF beau
tification of our fair land, pertains TO
cities and towns. II Is strange that
no thought is given the rural districts
IN this respect. II may be that the
country where rural homes were first
built was so beautiful that the need
Of such Improvement is not bred Into
our bones. IL Is easy to imagine q
settler pitching his tent or rearing =
primitive dwelling amid the most beau
tiful surroundings to be found. But
even so, sufficient love of the beautt
full Is manifest.
All this, however, has changed, for
today man may not choose his habit
tation among the beauties OF nature
wild and free, yet he may choose TO
have them about his dwelling place
and will not find the realization difs-
cult OF accomplishment. Unfortunate
ly man has destroyed without rebuild
ing, taken away without replacing, UNI
til now much IS barren that formerly
was beautiful II would seem that the
natural love Of beauty SO manifest In
our first farmers is now dormant or
we have developed what the breeder
calls strain" who have it not, and
their name is legion. Many land own
ers plant out beautiful fields, vine
yards and orchards that spread soft
green mantle over the landscape, yet
that they do not see II in such light
is manifest by the lack Of home adorn-
ment. If such conditions obtain In
the city 1t Is often through lack OF
means, the residents being but tenantsj
In rural districts 1t is too often due to
lack of taste.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY w. A. MACY.
THE STATE OF FRANKLIN.

Many people do not know
there was once State of
Franklin in the United States.
II existed for four years, from
1884 to 1888. Many emigrants
from North Carolina had
crossed TIE mountains and set
tied In what is now known as
East Tennessee. The territory
belonged to North Carolina, but
the state government had not
been able to give II much atten-
ton. Owing to financial and
other troubles North Carolina
coded the territory to the gen.
eral government. The inhah-
itsnts did not relish the idea of
thus being cast sdtift so uncere-
moniouely so they organized
state and set up a government
of their own. To their new
commonwealth they gave the
name "Franklin," after the
Philadelphia philosopher. But
congress declined to recognize
the new state, and North Caro-
lima raised strong objections.
The latter withdrew the cession
10 the government, and under
took to resume control of the
territory. A long quarrel en-
sued between the North Caro-
lima state government and the
citizens Of Franklin" The
leader OF the latter was Gov
ernor" Sewer, while a Colonel
Upton represented the former.
There was an immense amount
of pickering and much confu-
sion, but very little bIoodshed.
II finally ended in North Caro-
lima resuming control of the ter
rltory, and "the state Of Frank
lin" was known no more.
