I Chronicles of the ’BB Society.'
1 It came to pass in the days of
[Noah, i n the fourth year of th p
[reign of Cleveland duiing the first
month that the people of the val
ley of Lookout nigh unto Trenton,
which is in the State of Dade would
become liteiary. A decreo was
made and a proclamation went
forth the country
around afiout frommo on Morrison’s
to Trenton which is a fifth of a lea
gue to the northward and a half;
league southward. And they gath
ered about fourteen strong and took
oouncil together as to how they
might organize a society'. So a so
ciety was organized called the ’BB
[bociety, at the house of one An
[drew, whose surname is McLean, a
[mighty man in all that country,!
Kvho is from tho far North, even]
[Nova Seocia.
! There was one Lizz.’ sof the tribe*
[of Anurew, daugjjpr of Sarah was!
imade president of this organization!
of learning, to lead
jderect their
"a woman
and understanding, andjraliant
leader of this mighty And
they increased in number and
learning, even the learning of the
day. v
And at the same time Green,!
who is of the tribe of David, surJ
named Cates, of Victora which is
an ancient city whose glory is the
Cumberland’s to the eastward and
westward,over against Jasper which
is in Tennessee. He was appointed
according to the order of members
vice-president of this society,called
great who increase in learning evens
the learning of the great Dade Nor
mal which is in Trenton.
Furthermore Ida. fair, whose
surname is Pearce, who is of the
household of Reuben and once
dwelt in Chattanooga . that great
city called the Maggie City, on the!
shores of the Tennessee. She was]
fair of face and comely and ad-1
mired in all that land. Ida was!
made a secretary to ec ord the min-!
utes of this society, of learning]
which was about fourteen strong,
who were from that country and
distant countries. And when their
fame went abroad the people were
amazed and did wonder much.
Now there was Felix, also of the
tribe of David, whose mother was
Rebeca, was a soiourner in a
Btrange land which is in the val
ley nigh unto Trenton. His na
tive land is across the floods of the
Mississippi in the land of Texas
which is over against the waters
of the gulf that are many fathoms
deep. He was low of statue, and
behold he was made a critic to
criticise those who would use bad
grammar, use slang or chew gum,
or violate any of the laws laid
down in the by laws and constitu
tion.
There was in all that land one
Bernard son of James, who was as
sociated with Noah in tilling the
soil, who flowed an old horse'
l which he culled Adam; and ho be
came a conspicuous member and
sat in the high places, was pam
pered and made much ot. |
I William surnamed Thurman
would be learned whose father is
Stephen a leader of the Sabbath
•school; gathered together in the
[sanctuary every sabbath, who also''
'sits in high places even in the :i
[courts of Dade which meet in Dade,
•which meet in Trenton. William
•is leagued in feeding and clothings
.the people and selling all kinds of!
{merchandise with Enoch who is as
in the sanctuary, and fam-|
p)d throughout the land as a healer|
'of all manners of deseases. An-|
Pother charter member, Margaret!
[daughter of Zetndec, hearkened!
junto the teaching of those who!
(shewed forth wisdom and increas-|
jjed in knowledge Brad son of!
[.James and Elizabeth also of the!
jtribe of Noah was learned even ini
[the dictionary which parchment!
jhe carried in his pockets, and did?
[often refer to it: and who found
Llie interpretation of his name
therein to be a nail without a hoad
also by which oracle he interpret
ed other names likewise,
There was of the daughters of
Noah four, and the sons one, Re
becca was made a teacher, and did
teach the members geography
which was rhe geography of Geor-1
gia which is in Amerioa, -Her sis H
ter Annie was very solicitous and!
would become marshal to act a.-S
usher aud officiate generally. And
she shall wax strong and mighty
and become a power in the land;
aud ignorance shall flee from be
fore it’s face. And they shall con
tinue therein for years to come
with one accord. Let all lend an
ear that they may hear the proph
ecy which Sarah did prophesy con
[cerning the ’BB Society.

When parties settle off theii
little legal disputes they will do us
the favor settling thcis advertis

have to pay a little more cost cer
tain.
If the property owners of Tren
ton want this paper they must go
down into their pockets and con
tribute some cash, to meet expen
penses ot runiug it. We can’t live
