The legislators all have my hearty good will, I didn’t think I was slighted in the least. Crawford has a vigilant and faithful repre¬ sentative in the person of Hon. Shrill Harri on. Say, did it ever occur to you that there are some of the smartest 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.

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. F. K. ' Atlanta is making elaborate preparation to give Vice Presi¬ dent elect 4dSai E.
