May be OverwOrked

We notice that the Stork in
Knoxville has been very slow in
progress during the month of
January, allowing by far the num-
Der of deaths to exceed him. This
will prove very disastrous to the
city unless exceptions are taken.
We cannot account for this unless
he has overworked during the
previous year.
During the month of January at
Newport, our local registrar re-
ports that there has only been
five or six births reported, with
the same number of deaths. This
goes to show that Newport is very
energetic in her efforts in propo-
eating the species. However, this
report is not an accurate account
as the physicians are not all OBJ
serving the Vital Statistic Law, as
required.

ORIGIN OF BLACKMAIL.
The Term Was Born Of outIawry on
the Scottish Border.

The Term Was Born Of Outlawry on
the Scottish Border.
The etymology of the expression
"blackmail' is historically interesting.
1t appears to have its origin on the
Scottish border and dating from tmes
when frequent political feuds between
the then two kingdoms Of the British
islands tacitly justified sort Of per-
ennial terrestrial buccaneering as be-
tween borderers of each realm.
Many of these were outlaws on both
sides of the border. Their neighbor-
ing victims to save their cattle from
being lifted sometimes compounded for
safety by an annual payment as insur-
ance to the bandits. This fee not only
gave them immunity, but entailed
them to protect them from rival free
hooters. It was their "mail," or PRO
lection" The mail" coach was so
named because it had its armed guard
with loaded blunderbuss on the dickey.
But the mail paid by border farmers
was not for honest royal protection,
but for guardianship by thieves, and
hence was "black'' mail, the color Of
black being typical Of what was nefa-
tious, whether in art or in guardian
ship, while the guardian Of this stamp
was known as the ''blackguard" Of the
district. The last named latter day
term of reproach seems to have OBJ
tanned its expression originally as here
described. Field.

]. ALLEN GLENN
WEEDS MISS BROWN
Prominent Young Couple Married
by Brides Father Last
Friday Evening.

On last Friday night at the
home of the brides parents. Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Brown, j. Allen
Glenn and Miss Kate Brown were
quietly united in the holy bonds
of matrimony. Hardly any one
knew of this wedding until the
unusual demeanor of j. Allen an
nounced it the evening before,
when he took on renewed energy
concerning his personal hygiene.
Miss Brown is a talented young
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Brown
of this place and have had a very
happy courtship with Allen for
the last two or two and a half
years, and judging from this they
will have many happy days in the
future.
j., Allen Glenn. is a young man
with great future, having the
advantage over most young, for
the reason that he possesses ex-
cellent business ability, having
charge of a large jewelry store
here, and a first class moving pic
ture show where scenes of de-
voted love are furnished him
daily.
Immediately after the marriage
they left on their wedding tour
for the South, where they will
visit all places of special interest,
Birmingham, Atlanta and many
other points.

Stumbling Blocks

1t seems that in every under
taking in life that the young man
is put to great disadvantage.
This is so even in politics, as was
demonstrated last week when O.
L. McMahan announced himself a
candidate for the legislature.
No one was surprised to see the
article Of the "slop bucket" These
we'll meaning people who 60 off
half cooked are a terror and a
stumbling-block to every cause.
They hastily generalize, make
rash and reckless statements and
then are compelled to eat their
Wards. They make themselves
ridiculous and their future utter
ances are discounted about fifty
per cent.

MISS ROBINSON
WEEDS H. E. RUBLE
Popular Young Couple Partici-
pants in a Pretty Home
Wedding.

A wedding of wide interest, and
an unusually pretty and interest
ing event was that of Miss Lucille
Robinson and Mr.. Hiram Ruble
which was solemnized at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. W. B. Robinson, Thursday
night of last week.
The decorations of the lovely
home were exquisitely carried out
in the bridal tones of pink and
white. In the parlor palms and
ferns formed the altar and were
arranged in an effective manner,
and here the bridal party stood
during the impressive ceremony
performed by Rev. j. S. Black, of
the Presbyterian church.
The wedding march "Lohen-
grin" announced the entrance of
the bridal party. During the cere-
money "Traumeri" was softly
played, Shugart's orchestra of
Knoxville, furnishing the nuptial
music.
The bride entered with her maid
of honor, Miss nellie Young, of
Knoxville and they were met at
the altar by the groom and his
best man, Mr.. John B, Ruble. The
bride presented a picture of girlish
loneliness in her bridal robe of
white crepe de chine with real
lace and pearl trimmings, and car
ried pink carnations.
Only relatives and intimate
friends witnessed the ceremony.
An informal reception was held. .
Mr.. and Mrs. Ruble left on the
Special for a bridal tour to be
spent in the east. Upon their re-
turn they will reside in Newport.
Mrs. Ruble is a charming girl
and a most talented musician. By
her sweet and gracious manners

wish for her every happiness in
her new life. Mr.. Ruble is a we'll

HAD THOUGHT FOR MOTHER
incident That Shows Small Boys Have
Other Organs Beside Their
Stomachs.

He was only mite of a boy, dirty
and ragged; and he had stopped for
little while in one of the city's
free Fairgrounds to watch a game
of ball between boys of his own and
a rival neighborhood. Tatters and
CRIME were painfully in evidence Oh
every side; but the little fellow at
tracted the attention of a group of
visitors, and one of them, reaching
over the child's shoulder as he sat
on the ground, gave him a luscious
garden pear. The boys eyes spar
killed. but the eyes were the only
thanks as he looked back to see from
whence the gift had come and then
turned his face away, too shy or too
much astonished to speak.
But from that time on his atten-
ton was divided between the game
and his new treasure. He patted the
pear; he looked at it; and at last,
as if to assure himself that it was
as delicious as it appeared, he lifted
it to his lips and cautiously bit out
a tiny piece near the stem. Then,
with long sigh of satisfaction and
assurance, he tucked the prize safely
inside his dirty blouse.
"Why don't you eat it, Tony?"
demanded watchful acquaintance.
''Eat it? All meself? Amt |
savin' it for mother?"
The tone, with its mingling of re-
sentiment and loyalty, made further
speech unnecessary. Whatever Tony
lacked-and it seemed to be nearly
everything-he had learned human
ity's loftiest lesson. He had another
dearer than self, and knew the Joy
of sacrifice.
