themselves.
Mr. J. L. Hammett, our popular saW-
mill man has decided to locate perman¬
ently in Knoxville. He has bought the
handsome residence from B. H. Ray,
where Haity, the sheriff now’ lives. To
both church and society Mr. Hammett’s
family is quite an acquisition in any
town or community, and we welcome
them among 1 us.
Boliver ay has done more toward
building up our town in the last four years
than any of its citizens. Crawford county
has always given him a large patrouage,
and, unlike other merchants, instead of
investing his money in cities of another
county, he has brought it back from
whence it came, and added to the wealth
and taxable property of Crawford county.
More than that, he has established Ma¬
con’s market in Knoxville, under the
management of our own J. W. Jack, and
is doing an extensive business here.
Sunday School Work.
On last Sabbath morning the writer, in
company with Rev. A. P. Spillers, set
out on a Sunday school tour. In the
morning we visited Franklin school,
when we arrived the exercises were in
progress, Mathews although their superintendent,
T. F. was absent on account of
serious illness. There was a large at¬
tendance of bright and earnest faces.
We each consented to hear a class, and
after the recitations were over, we gave
them a Sabbath school talk in the most
earnest and faithful manner that we knew
how.
We took dinner with Mr. B. J. Becham
and after spending several pleasant
hours, there left for our appointment at
Union Academy just beyond *Johu little C.
Hancock’s place, where a nice con¬
gregation had assembled for the purpose
of organizing a Sabbath school. Brother
Spillers called the meeting to’order, and
conducted religious exercises. After de¬
livering an earnest and valuable address,
we organized with a membership of fif¬
ty-five. Then elected Brother W. J.
Burnett Superintendent, humble and S. scribe B. Cau¬ de¬
sey Secretary. Your
livered a feeble lecture in the most faith¬
ful manner that he was capable -of.
Those people are in earnest, and w’e dare
say that in a very short time this will be
the banner school in the county. They
have a fine territory and plenty of mate¬
rial. The “harvest truly is plentious and
the laborers are few,” and the cry there
is: “Come over and help us.”
We delight to welcome this bright
school as a member of our “county asso¬
ciation,” and will do all in our power to
aid and encourage it.

FACTS FOR THE SICK!
A Letter from an Eminent Di¬

Medicine in the World.

Wonderful Cures.
Atlanta, Ga., January 2, 1890.
Six months ago, at the request of a
friend who was interested in the sale of
King’s Royal Germetuer, I made a writ¬
ten statement of the benefits I had re-
ceived from the use of that medicine. In
that statement I expressed the belief that
it would cure me entirely of catarrh,
Within the last two months I have re-
ceived letters from every quarter of the
nation calling on me for further informa¬
tion in regard to my health. It has been
impossible for me to write privately to
each person who has made this request,
and I am therefore under the necessity of
making another public statement.
I am free from catarrh. I believe that
I could get a certificate to this effect from
any competent physician. I have used
110 medicine within the last six months
except King’s Royal Germetuer. lily
health is better than it has been in thirty
years. I am in possession of information
which warrants me ir saying that the re¬
lief which I have experienced from the
use of the medicine is not more certain
and radical than that which it has
brought to hundreds of persons in Geor¬
and other States.
I feel it to be my duty to say, also,
the effects of this remedy upon my wife
have been even more signal and wonder¬
ful. She has been almost a life-long in¬
valid from Nervous Headache, Neuralgia
and Rheumatism. In a period of thirty
years she has scarcely had a day’s exemp¬
tion from pain. She has been using Ger-
meteur about two months. A more com¬
plete transformation I have never wit¬
nessed. Every symptom of disease has
disappeared. She appears to be tw'enty
years younger, and is as happy and play¬
ful as a healthy child. We have persua¬
ded many of our friends to take the med¬
icine, and the testimony of all of them is
that it is a great remedy.

Indian “ Counting Out.”
Similar legends and games entertain
children the world over, and are often so
much alike as to suggest the indepen¬ question
whether they were invented
dently by each nation or have been car¬
ried from one country to another.
The children of the Wabanaki Indians
of Northern Maine have a “counting out”
system very similar to that of white
children. The “ inty, minty, cuty, brier, corn,
apple-seed, and apple-thorn, w’ire,
limber, lock, O—U—T, spells Out,” and
other familiar nonsense rhymes of Amer¬ the
ican games have their counterpart in
Wabanaki “ Ilony, kec-bcc, la-weiss, ag-
les, Hun-tip hun-tip.” the fateful word. Each
is
child puts out two fingers of each hand,
and one child who has a hand free repeats
the words, pointing to the fingers. Ev¬
ery finger that hun-tip falls on is doubled
under, until only three are left. The
owners of these three fingers start to run
and the one who is caught is squnw-oc-
t'mocs.
In a publication of the Royal Society
of Canada, Mrs. W. W. Brown describes
the game in which squaw-oc-t’moos the
figures. One little Wabanaki is
mother. Her children, ten or twelve in
number, form in line back of her, each
holding the one in front by the dress be¬
tween the shoulders. Squaw-oc-t’moos
cries, “ Bo-wad-man Wa-ses-uk,” (I w r ant
babies,) and tries to catch one of the
children.
The mother endeavors to protect them
by keeping squaw-oc-t’moos in front of
her. This causes the end of the line to
move very swiftly; just as the outer end
of a wheel spoke has to move quickly
enough to make a much greater circle
than is made by the end near the hub.
As the excitement increases the children
] 0 se their balance and go tumbling to the
ground, scrambling to get out of the
way of the terrible squaw-oc-t’moos.—
