tors and had the pleasure of
ing some good speeches. lie did
not speak himself, but unlike
speaker Crisp, didn’t feel embar¬
rassed .because he had prepared no
speech for the press and then
didn’t expect to be invited speak.
The legislators all have my hearty
good will, I didn’t think I was
slighted in the least. Crawford

sentative in the person of Hon.
Shrill Harri on.
Say, did it ever occur to you that

and prettiest little girls in the
Knoxville school than can be
found any where in the state?
They proved it last Friday night
on the stage in Knoxville. -The
young men and ladies in the ex¬
ercises of the evening acquitted
themselves exceptionally well.
Who claims the credit of their
admirable exhibitition. The sing¬
ing was beautiful, the recitations,
plays and operettas, and also .- the
calesthentics exercise were super
fine. There is a great benefit to
accrue to any one by attending

We are having some gloomy
weather and this does -not suit
the •occasion for those who are
having to move.
People are quite hasty m mov¬
ing about thi« fall. Times are
hard and depressing. They'prob
ab!y have n good excuse.
Our community is quiet and [in
good circumstances with plenty
of fresh pork on hand, spare ribs,
•back bones, sausages and chit¬
ling-.
Mr. Jeff Bowman killed a fine
.hog a few days back which pro¬
duced him over seven galons oi
lard: i don’t think we could find
any better country than this is at
present, as every body is about on
an equality. If there is any bet¬
ter ji st take me on to it right
now.
Yes .carry me far,.take me where
Hard times never come by,
Where pan cakes and honey flow
like tears
And sausages always nigh.
Where rabbits always come in stews
Ami crackers and cheese are never
out.
Where wise men ear without the
fobls
And cooks can never pout.
Oh take mo before I got the gout
In a country far from t own,
Where coons end p°s sums run about
With gravy all dripping down.
Where I by chance will not have to
work, v
As some do night and day,
Where I can hove just what I want
For t-ha same have nothing to paV.
Yes take me now I don’t complain,
. Where poveiy is never found.
And lack with .pleasure always
reigrn,
Where money doth abound.
Yes where the most pretty girls
My eve has ever seen,
Domestic girls with bangs and curls
Hang down their forehead seam.
Yes take me to where all the folks
Have everything nice to ve:\r,
Where people never change their
coats
And will never burst and tear.
Where tables set and well replqplyh
fid
For all to have a full supply,
Where cihJdren waitjso well content¬
ed
And babies never cry.
Then take me to a colledge school
Where those who study rise,
Where thus ’tis said a silent fool
t
■ Is surely considered wise.
So take me where ladies of sweet,
temper grow
And telltales never talk,
And people less by visiure know
Than by their daily walk.
Where doctor’s bills are unknown
And traveling peddlers never ov/e.
Where joy is peace not bought wit'
gold,
But sincere love, forget me not.

Qaoon Victoria’s shoe is.that oh
a gouty old lady, and, although -
roomy and comfortable, is not
pretty, while Empress Eugenie,
once tlih leader of feminine fashion '
of the civilized world, has now dis¬
pensed with those high heels which
she was wont to affect in the days
of her reign at the Tuiieries. '
The Queen of Portugal, like hep
mother, the Countess do Faria
has feet that-jin point of size and '
shape are in keeping with their
masculine ways and appearance
For one would scarcely expect a
woman who smokes such huge
and strong cigars as the Countess
Jo Paris to own a dainty and ele¬
gant foot.

The feet of the Princess of
