sis.
Our young men have organized a
ministrel troupe. Judging from the
appearance of things, fair Yveek wi'l he
a lively one.
The extension of the Northeastern
railroad through this section would
be of an immense benefit to Athens,
and is of great need.
Snakes are said to be numerous on

the legal points made by the lawyers.

A young merchant of our town says it

ever, the hard times will compel him to
comedown, and that ho will not be a
candidate for matrimonial honors, this
year.
Mr. Jno. B. Elder has just completed
his new house, and says, course, he
finished it up merely to keep his lumber

MANY VOTERS,
*pr7, ’80-td
The first gold mine in the United
States was discovered in the State
of South Carolina in 1790.
Yung Wing, now acting as
Chinese Minister at Washington,
is quoted as saying that there arc
three Chinamen leaving this
country to one who is coming.
The public schools of Paducah,
Kv., use a history of the United
States written by a local teacher,
and printed at home. This is the
way to encourage home talent and
home enterprise.
Everybody should remember that
Yvhen the census enumerator comes
around asking pertinent questions,
a refusal to reply will subject the
recusant to a fine of “not exceeding
8100.” Even the question as to
age must be accurately and prompt¬
ly answered, however, disagreeable
may be the process.
The strikes in the silk and cotton
mills of France will, it is feared
turn thousands of men, who were
formerly industrious and contented,
into Communists, ready in the ex
tremeties of their poverty to’ under¬
take dangerous schemes against
both individuals and the State.
The government is looking into
the matter with all the energy that
the cause of self-preservation can
inspire.
The queer paradox is presented
of more money being spent upon
entertaining the officers of the
Constellation man-of-war, which
bore supplies to Ireland, than the
total cost of her cargo. Very
brilliant and expensive receptions
we.e given at Cork, Queenstown
and Dublin. Whereupon a Balti¬
more contemporary observes 'that
“if this is a specimen of the local
administration of their rulers, it is
a small wonder, indeed, that the
Irish people are discontented, and
look to the future with despairing
eyes.”
The Paris correspondent of the
London Times says the danger of
Communism in France is now
greater, because of strikes in the
manufacturing towns, which, wher¬
ever they extend, will prepare a
starving army ready to abet the
worst enterprise, At Roubiax and
Toqrcoing on Saturday, 30,909
men were on the strike list, and
disturbances were apprehended.
Money is being mysteriously sent
from the Belgium frontier to keep
up the strike. A kind of Crusade
of Disorder seems to be organized,
which is to break out simultane¬
ously at hundred different points,
and thus paralyze the action of
the army.
The Chicago Express calls for a
“National Convention of the Sol¬
diers and Sailors of the North and
the South,” to be held in that city
June 9th, and quotes a largo num
her of Northern and Southern news¬
papers favoring the movement.
The Expicss says:
“It is right and fit that there
should bo such a meeting. The
war is long over. The men who
who were boys when it commenced
are getting gray and old. More
than half of those who wore the
‘blue and gray’ have solved the
mystery of death. Nature has
generously effaced the traces of
the conflict. The saplings have
grown tall over the graves of the
dovyn fallen, and their roots have reached
to the hearts of the dead.
It is time for peace. And to inau
gerate an era of peace, let the sol¬
diers of the North and the South
meet and shake hands,”
Mu. Editor :— .Having business in
Dark Corner and Bunoomb, I spent a
tew last days among the good people there
week, and thinking a few dots from
that section will not he uninteresting
I send them o you.
By tho way, why do we still say
Dark Corner? I am suie there is not a
beautiful brighter spot around us. There are
farms well tilled, fine orchards,
nicely painted houses with pleasant
verandas and pretty flower yards.
There are books and musical instru
merits ar,d newspapers too, so that
Dark Corner is really a misnomer.
'1 hree days and nights divided among
my worthy friends Squire Jackson,
Thompson George Griffi th Sanford Simms, .lames
and Jim Wall was each so
pleasantly chance spent as to leave me no
of hospitab.e to particularize on the score
Thompson's entertainment. At Mr.
we were struck wirli the
charms of a forest and river home;
within a few paces of the house we
caught a score of fish in almost as many
minutes and fresh game was brought
down with the gun from the very ve
randa. There too we saw some of the
finest cotton, the most beautiful stand,
and the most carefully prepared land,
I lave seeu this season, and were much
interested in a fine specimen of nickered
cotton, ing a huge last ten leaved duster grow
ot) a years stalk; also some
new cotton called Tim Golden Dmp.
