The Rambler baseball team, which made such a good record among the young amateur clubs last season, will be ready to play ball the coming month with any olub within twenty miles of Franklin, whose members are of the average age of nineteen years. Paul Pieri is the manager of the team and his address is Box 340, Franklin.

Miss Jane D. Fisher, who lives in the Butman building in Central square, while at work in the dining room yester. day afternoon tripped as she was walk. Ing across the floor and fell, eustaining severe injury to her left hip. Dr. A. J. Gallison was summoned and found that ber hip had been broken. Miss Fisher is nearly 70 years of age and has been in poor health for some time. One thing, bowever, should be said just here. The town has a right to con- gratulate itself ou a few points. The first is the strong sentiment for no-li- cense; the inoreased interest in and ap propriatlon for roads; the oare of the common; the improvement of the ceme- tery; starting out right in the tree war- den matter; its stand on the sewer ques- tion; the adoption of the ourfew ordl- nonoe. The rain Friday bas made a serlous loss to some farmers in the wasbing away of the enriched soil. There are fields where many loads nf the loam have washed down into the highways or into adjoining fields and many such oases, all where the property is owned by different proprietors. While one may gain a sub- stantial richuess in lils field it is at the expeuse of his nelgh bor. Everyone of these meaus a step forward, and with the better times wbich greet the town on every hand the prospeots are unusually encouraging. Moderator Burrington called the mest- ing to order promptly at 7.30, when the meeting aoted upon the remafuing articles in the warrant as follows: Article 3, choosing Dr. Hodge as tree warden for the ensuing year; artiole 4, choosing the following additional town officers: Fence viewers, A.

IN THE WAKE OF THE SWALLOWS. Continued from First Page.

which contains so many places of Interest within Its borders. But the feeling of good luck and general success begius long before you arrive høre. All the way from Hot Springs to Morristown you are enthralled by the beauty and magnifi cence of the mountain scenery, still con- tinulog that wild and picturesque gorge along which the French Broad river Very tine residruces, placed discrimi- natingly a little out of town on foothills winds to the Tennessee. But after we leave Knoxville begins a long cultivated garden ground, which even in wluter of the mountains, speak of the wealth abowetbe care, the culture, the system and culture of thie Chicago of Tennessee and to ita wholesome and growing activi- employed upou the Unge farms that Hank the way.

Astouisbing fields of wheat, green as a leek, horder the track for miles upon mlles with hardly a break, while other red-brown uplands show the recent fur- rows of the plow. But what surprises is the sparseness of the population, for the question constantly arices: "Wbo doen tbis labor? Wbo accomplishes all this?" for as far as can be seen only a small house scattered lonesomely bere and there gives evidence of buman hand» wbicb must have sown these enormous stretches.

As we cross the Tennessee Into Chnt- tanooga the splendid heights of Lookout mountain frown down upon us, and Mount Camerou looms to the right above a very long aud graceful bridge, which spaus the river at a point where the gray aud the blue thought it necessary to bung away at each other some years back, but who now I've in warm neigh horly fashion side by side, the very best of friends, Ont there is Valambrosa, a suburb, ot the city reacbed by electrics which will bigh iu air until a fine view cau be had, and the silence of hull and forest ferl in contrast.

Standing high ou an emiuence in the very center of the city is the Grant and Chattanooga university, # building of which any viciunge might be proud, and surrounding it are others of rich stone, churches of great cost aud beauty aud loug streets thoroughly modern in archi tecture. Iu the distance is the National cemetery, where a five stone arch guards tbe eutrauce, ou which is iuscribed : 'Here rest in peace 12,059 citizens who gave their lives for their country frum 1-61 to 1865," aud in that dignified and beautiful buine of the dead, whlte stones. each like the other except for the uame and number of the regiment, represeut- ing very many statee, we see green fields ser. in rows and circles, streets and ave- ones, where passion and pain are over and life is not-but where d'rells forever the promise of immortality.

The ascent of old Lookout is, I fancy. In places steeper thun that of Mt. Wash- ington, but the run Is short and we ar- rive in the midst of suulight and blue sky like a bird lighting on the top must bough. Then what a glorious view. Tbe far ranges of the Appalachlans dim- ly figure themselves as dull blue clouds. Nearer ranges surround the valley where lies the city and its suburbs, The great stream of the Tennessee, in the borne shoe circle of "Muccaxiu Bend," rolle calmly ou to join the Mississippi, and over there Mission Ridge, with its two observation towers, strikes a note set ou a har uf beautiful white road, where is the fashionable drive and where the wheelman fuils his joy.

Turning again, whille standing on Point Lookout-a crag that stands out sheer from the mountain like a shelf- we view the Chickamauga National Mili- tary park, which consists of 5,000 ac es cared for by the government, and in the of the most attractive outingefor vieitore. On going to Valambrosa we pars Gell. Garfield's headquarters, as alsu the house occupied by Geu. Rosecrans, anıl Forts Negley aud Wood are both points which will luterest the veteran, the stu- dent of history and the patriot.

On "Orchard Kuob" also is the still more interesting spot, the headquarters of Gen. Graut, and at all these places are to be found the man who will "tell you all about it," give you every detall aud chuckle over some incident of the war which has pleased his memory for thirty reminiscent years. No more attractive place for a hotel can be imagined tuan tbe top of this mountain, and we greatly regretted that Lookont lun was chied, for Its beauty as a building and Its un rivalled view would instantly decide the choice of the tourist.

"A Miss is As Good as a Mile."

If you are not entirely well, you are ill. Elness does not mean death's door. It is a sense of weariness, a " tired feeling," life filled with nameless pains and suffer- ing. In 90'% of cases the blood is to blame. Hood's Sarsaparilla is Nature's corrective for disorders of the blood. Remember

But some Interesting things right in the heart of Chattanooga, In fact passing our wludows, which, by the way, are built upon the old historic site of the Crutchfish house, occupied my feminine attention, We are in the Sonth and the thermometer registers 74, but the ladies (aud they are "mighty stylish" Indir's hers) are wearing high for collars, Thick cloeks, muffa, velvet and felt hats aml heavy walking skirts, as If they wrie promenading Broadway Io & uor theaster I found this adherence to winter fashtotex in days when the thermometer show, il 80 degrees last yenr all over Florida and wbile we Northerners were getting into nets auil organdies, the "natives" will persist in recognizing old Boreas.

Rope rsinx, an old barrel for a seat, a yellow waterproof coat, a big grin and a respectful bow make up the paraphernalia of four out of ten teams that go by. Tbsre will flash by a small carriage with magnificent thorough- breds from Kentucky, the whole affair at the tip of the style, and the women- delightful.

Capetia as a Binary Star.

One of the most beautiful objects overhead In winter evenings is the bright white star Capella, in the con- stellatlon Auriga. Prof. Campbell, of tbe Lick obeervatory, announces that he has found declsive evidence that Capella is a binary star, whose compo- nents are too close to be separated hy the telescope, although the spectro- scope reveala their existence through their revolution about their common center. He even suspects that Capella may consist of three stars. all very close together. The principal pair re- volve around one another in about one hour less than four days, The wonder increases when it is recollected that these are suns, each more brilliant than our son .- Youth's Companion.

The Oldest Tree in the World. The town of Kos, the capital of the [emall Turkish islend of that name ly- Ing off the coast of Asia Minor, pos- besves the oldest tree In the world. ['n- der its shade Hippocrates inculceted his disciples in his methods and views concerning the healing art 2,000 years ego. Tradition carries the age of the tree back to the time of Aesculaplus (of whom Hippocrates was a lineal de- scendant), which would add some 400 years to its age. A great part of the trunk Is built ronnd, and there is a fountain known as Hippocrates' foun- talD. The circumference of the trunk fs 30 feet, and there are two main low- er branches, which are supported by masonry columns,-Albany Argus.

Her Knowledge of It.

The young woman had been type- writer to the chairman of the finance committee for about a month and had made a mistake in one of his circular letters.

"Here," he said, angrily, "don't you know anything about the money ques- tion at all?"

"I know thie moch," she responded with asperity, "I waa to get six dollars a week in this office, and I've been working four weeks and haven't had a cent yet."-Detroit Free Press.

Corn Shipping Porta, New York has dropped from first to second place in the shipment of corn abroad, Baltimore standing first with an exportation of 46,000,000 bnshels in 1899. Philadelphia takes third place, with New Orleans fourth. In the expor- tation of cereais the gulf ports have made great gains of late years. ID

Au Tananat Feat. Kaiser Wilhelm presented to the Ziethen hussars as a New Year's gift a copy of the Dutch naval flag taken by the regiment In 1787. It then accom- plished the unusual feat for a cavalry regiment of capturing a man of war. A ten-gun Dutch hrig ran ashore in trying to break down the dikes and the hussars managed to board her .- N.

Not Hurt, Bnf Mad.

The way in which native logic tri- umphs over Inculcated dogmas is neatly illustreted by a true story I have heard. A little child between three end four years of ege whose parents were firm believers in Christian science had he- come a good deal imbued with the doc- trine of that sect. One day she was left with her aunt, e non-believer. Meeting with a fall nod evidently a good deal hurt. she cried bltterly. Her aunt, hav- | Judge. iug in mind her training, said to her: "Are you burt?" "No, I am not hurt," she replied, somewhat petulently. "Then why do you cry?" "1 am crying because 1 am mad." "What are you mad at?" "I am mad because I can't feel that I ain't burt!"-Boston Trai.s. cript.

Watching for State Papers. Fore go embassies are always on the sharp watch for the deaths of promi- vent subjects of their respective coun. tries wbo may possess interesting cor respondence of more or less value to the state. Thus, when Countess Di Cas- tiglione died in Paris, at the request of the Italian embassy the French au- thorities placed its seal on every cupboard and drawer in her house. It is suspected that she had many inter- esting letters from Victor Emmanuel and Cavour, in whose employ she was during a part of the second empire. anó the Italian government does not intend to let these fall into irrespon- slhle bands .- N. Y. Sun.

"Yes,' said a rich Ok aboma farmer to G. Lowell Miller, "I am proud of my giris, and would like to see ibem com- fortably married, and as I have made little money, they will not go to their husbands penniless. There's Mary, 25 years, and a real good girl. I shall give her $5.000 when she is married. Then comes Bet, who won't see 35 agnin, and I shall give ber $10,000; and the man who takes Eliza, who is 40, will have $15,000 with her." G. Lowell; reflecting moment or so, then inquired: "You haven't one about 50, have you?"-Ok- lahoma State Capital.

" A Single Fact In worth a shipload of argument." What shall be said, then, of thousands of facls?

Yonthinl Precoetty,

A little girl who had just entered school lately jubilautly anuounced to her father that she did better than all the girls above her In the arithmetic class and went to the top,

"That was smart of you," said he, en- couragingly. "How was it ?"

"Well, you see, Miss Maggie asked the girl at the top how much was $ and 5. and slre didn't know, and said 12; then ibe next girl said 9, and the next one said 11, and the next 14. Such silly an- swers! Then Miss Maggie asked me, and I said 13, nnd Miss Maggie told me to go up top, 'Course It was 13."

"'That was nice," said the father. "I didn't know you could add so well. Ilow did you know It was 13?"

"Why, I guessed It! Nobody said 13." -Philadelphila Bulletin.

For a Parcela Post. A movement Is on foot to have con- gress jass e law admitting parcels of merebnudise to the mail at a very low rate of postage. Among the arguments used Is the fact thet in Great Britain the postage on parcels is six per cent. for the first pound and two cents for each additional pound, up to 11 pounds. which is the limit, thus making the cost of sending an 11-pound packnge 36 cents. The postnl service of the United States bas a deficit now of $6,000,000 a year for operating expenses, and that deficit would be two or three times larger If such a law was enacted. and the people would pay the shortage. An exchange thinks this a scheme of the big department stores of the larger cities to ruin the trade of the country merchants.
