NOTICE.

AS promised, am making state
ment with reference to our county
schools. There seems to be a great
dearth of teachers. Those who took
the examination will not be allowed to
teach unless they make an average of
65 per cent and not fall below so per
cent on any subject. 1t will be sew
eral days before we hear from this
examination, hence all schools of the
county will not begin for some time.
Supt. Williams has promised me to
have the papers from this county
graded this week. Perhaps l can
give a few teachers some good news
by the next issue of this paper.
Respectfully,

There are no public lands In Tennes-

Tennessee has considerable quantl-
ties Of splendid farming land In each

this can be bought at reasonable

have been much lower In price than
lands of equal fertility in the northern
and western states. II has, therefore,
been apparent that the field of next
development would be In the South.
However. during the past few years
land prices have increased rapidly in
this state. If one had bought farming

would have proven one of the very
best possible investments. I will not

signs of life. With engine muffled,
the approaching boat glided close TO

river at topspeed, keeping close to the
middle Of the channel she soon hove
into sight.
Signals were given from the govern
ment boat for the stranger to pass On
straight toward the marshals.
As soon as the stranger got near
enough, the officers said they detected
the ~well-known outlines of sacks of
whisky on every visible point Of the
boat.
Immediately the order was given to
halt. Instead, the officers said, the
craft kept on coming at full speed and
when within something over 100 yards
distant, a form was seen at the wheel,
Soon, however, a second outline was
observed and as the boat drew nearer,
the man who had left the wheel drew
a gun.
Four guns from the United States
boat spoke at NICE before the man
could fire. His Weapon was seen to
upturn Just as II was discharged and
his form dropped into the bottom Of
the boat. '.7
The second man, who was said to be
Shepherds negro helper, headed the
boat to the bank and before the offi-
GERS could reach the scene, the black
escaped among the willows.
Attention was then directed toward
the boat where. Shepherd was found
with flesh wounds In the side and the

placed under bond, About 100 cases Of
whisky we're confiseated.
On the advice Of his attorney, B. L.
