The famous string band from Jackson Miss,, has been engaged to play at the barbecue Saturday. Trenton was taken by storm Wed nesday, when the band struck the town. It was a rare musical treat. In a large clothing house in Chattanooga, R. L. Taylor unex pectedly passed in front of a large mirror just after he had clothed himself in anew suit. He was heard to say, “V-al!. old fellow, like myself you have passed through the storms of many win ters.” It was a case of mistaken identity. Byrds Chape . Died June 7th, lit’le Dennis, in fant child of Mr. and Mrs. James Long, aged olio year and six months. He was taken sick very suddenly and his sufferings were great for about two weeks. To the bereaved parents and relatives I would say, weep not for little Den nis, for one who loved little chil dren has taken him to be at rest. “Safe in the arms of Jesus Safe on bis gentle breast, There by his love o’ershaded Sweetly the s'*ul shall rest.” A Friend. ShiSoli Mr. Editor: —Saturday June 27th was a gaily day, long to re main fixed in the memory of the people of Sand Mountain For some time it had been the desire of the people at Shiloh to combine and give a basket picnic, at which an elaborate programe of speeches and music could be carried out, hence a project of this nature could be executed with the utmost con sistency. Ear’y in the day the roads was thronged with every form of conveyance filled with the sons of toil and their families, there never was a grander or larger crowd ever witnessed here. There' were fully fifty teams, mostly be longing to the cow tribe. It is a fact worthy of comment and re marked by many, there was not a single drunk man in the mammoth gathering. The scene of the pic nic was at Shiloh grove where the people arrived at 10 o’clock. Alter establishing themselves, the order of exercises was entered upon. The speech of Thomas Payne, Sr., to the Sunday school children was el oquent and most highly apprecia- ted. After a song by Shiloh sing ing class, baskets were uncovered and an hour devoted in disposing of the immense quantity of eata bles on the ground which imbued the average hungry man with feel ings of satisfaction. After dinner pieces spoken by several t unday school scholars were excellent, es pecially the oration by Mrs. Win. Loch when exhibiting the last gift from her mother, (a large Bi ble,) two days before she died. Our exhibition was well repre j seated from the valley except our prosperous little neighbor town of Trenton, you should have Come and took an example. Exhibition closed with a song by Shiloh sing i ing class, “God be with you till we i meet again.” Pedko, ‘BiimieV’ sah.

Evening News have discovered that each were right and both “acknowledged the c< rn.” I’ve been considerably worried over the prospect of our two best papers hollering “scis sors.” Next to the State of Dade we are unanimously for the News, because it comes daily with both feet up and “peace and good will” on the soles. It has set an exam ple of brotherly love which seems so foreign to modern Journalism that its refreshing and worthy of emulation. Yes, the News is a success; for, with its Georgia grit and Tennessee backing it can’t fail. But Mr. Editor, if you are tired of my crude manner of putting things, the next time you come up to quote Blaeksfone to Squire Can trell just take me out behind the postoffice and tell me to stop, for if that taffy in your fiddle de wink column was intended to draw me out on evolution, then shut me off for “want of space,” It will prove a failure for two reasons; first, because I don’t know any thing about evolution, nor do I believe that anybody else does, nextly I’m too tickled at seeing my name in print to be caught that way. On my way to the furnace I overtook our venerable friend Geo. Hibbs, 75 years either way puts no change on George, and he has done more hard work this year, (as the condition of his corn crop will at- tes!) than in any two years since he used to raise corn in all that field between Cameron Hill and Fort Wood. Though Cameron Hill wasn’t there then. Ihe reason its called Indian corn all over the world to-day is that George first raised it on Market St., and gave it to the Indians. He owned all that land in there then, but, when the Great Spirit pulled , the mountain in two to let the | river througn which he intended to make, and did make, Georges deed became misplaced and as land was cheap and the Indians were going away in forty or fifty years, l.e didn’t think it worth looking after and so through negligence lost a farm which is really worth more to-day than it was then. I learned with regret that Will Hamilton is going to move to Chat tanooga again where he has ac cepted the position of engineer of the Chattanooga Furnace switch engine. Will is active, intelligent and accommodating, which are all the elements essential to a first class railroad man. But Billy, be sure and rent a house with canoe attachments, because there is no surer indications of a freshet next spring than your moving into the stb ward. Will’s place will be very ably filled by our young friend, Duke Brock. If Duke couples cars like he dances his work will always be up. Count your fingers every night Duke to be sure you have them all. Want of space prevents mv giv ing many things I saw over there but I will bye and bye. U. U. BEN T.
