The pupils of the upper grades were highly entertained In tho Asssembly Hull Frldny morning by the Honorable I. W. McKnight, who gave a brief his torleiil sketch of Jefferson county. Among the numerous events ho men tlomtl wore the following: Tho first settler of Wlnslnw township was John Fuller, who came hero In 1H22. The laying out of our own city in iwn. Our forests were Inlinblted by fifty spi-cies of wild animals; one of the most notable events was the killing of tho last buffalo in 171)0. A few of the event which took place In our own Immediate vicinity were, the first coal mined for sale by Charles Anniin, who took tint a few bushels a day. This Industry has now grown to the enormous extent that Instead of a few bushels wo are now shipping to various points of the earth tho great amount of forty-five hundred tens a day. Thos. Hoynolds was the first school muster in lfCifl. The magnificent salary of suventeen dollars and forty-four cents was the amount received by a teacher fifty years ago. It is a matter of much gratification to note the increased interest manifested by the members In the meetings of the Literary Society, and wo may tako a pardonable pride In the manner in which the program of last Friday was rendered. The recitations, which were rendered by Harriet Schultzo, Lois Hobinson. Etta Shaffer, Viola McGaw, Cornlo Dciblo and James Mulr, were of a high order and showed careful prcpar- ation. Mollio McDonald's paper plctur Ing tho future was both amusing and interesting, and If her prognostications are correct, some of the gentler sex are doomed to the fato-d lives of old maids. A call being made for music Golda King favored the society with a vocal selec tlon which morlted the hearty applause it recelvod. Tho meeting waa then brought to a close by the debate, "That the charms of the new woman exceeded those of the old.'' Tho affirmative was upheld by Bertha Marshall while the negative wassupiorted by Ella Lenkerd The arguments were presented in rhyme. After careful deliberation the judges rendered their decision in favor of the "new woman." LOCALS. C. W. Dickey was in Rrookvllle over Sunday.

A man who does not learn to live while he Is getting a living, is a poorer man after his wealth is won than ho was before. J. G. Holland.

In good company, you need not ak who is tho master of tho feast. The man who sits in the lowest place, and who is always Industrious in helping everyone, is certainly the man. Hume, , Concerning Gossips. Gossip Is the conversation of the Ig norant. Men and women who take no delight in good literature or the higher Intellectual pleasures, generally discuss their neighbors' affairs. In order to make tholr conversation spicy, they set their imaginations to work, and build large structures upon small foundations, Thus Innocent persons are slandored by the illiterate and foul minded, whose thoughts cannot rise above the plain cf vulgar gossip, And of all contemptible gossips the malo gossip is the most des' picable. We can tolerate a little ton' dency to gossip in women, because it seems natural to them. But tho man who becomes a retailer of scandals is the most revolting creature alive. Punxsutawney Sjiirit.

Ill many sections of the forest limds of the south during the dry seasons a ninn may walk for miles without find ing n stream of water or ft spring by which to quench his thirst. If. how ever, lie Is nn experienced hunter and woodsman, he will not hnve to drink water from the stagnant pools In order to keep life In his body. Queer as It may seem, tin experienced man can hunt for dnys through such dry trncts and yet experience no In convenience on account of tho luck of water. Nature has provided a melius which Is only known to the Inltlnted. Every old huntsman carries with him when going on a long hunt a small au ger, by which he can secure a refresh ing drink and water to cook with at any moment. A Cottonwood tree or a willow Is the well which the wily huntsman tups. He examines each tree nntll ho finds one thnt has what n woodsman calls a vein." It Is simply an attenuated protuberance. By boring Inf.. this vein" n stream of clear wnt'T will flow out. It Is not sap, lint clear, pure water. The huntsmen say that the water Is better than the average to be hnd from ordinary wells. There Is no sweetish taste about It. but It has a strong flavor of sulphur and Is slight ly enrbonated. The reason for this phenomenon can not cnslly be explained, but that a sup ply of water can be contained In a tree Is not so surprising. The fact of Its flowing Is the wonderful feature, show ing thnt Is must be under pressure or. In other words, thnt there Is more at the source of the supply. When It Is considered thnt the tree furnish the water In the dry season nnd thnt the ground Is literally baked. It la the more rcmnrknble. especially when the roots of the trees do not extend to any great depth Into the ground. Memphis Scim itar. MEW YORK'S E.AST SIDE. Ob Festive Oernalona It Arrays Itaelf In Hired Mnerr. The east side achieves gentility on great occasions, albeit somewhat un shaven ami slipshod betweeu whiles. From Its own standpoint It does uol spnre expense. What It cannot buy It hires. The possibilities of renting the set pieces and habiliments of fashion have been thoroughly exploited east of the ltuwery. There is none of that pride of exclusive possession that ob tains along thoroughfares farther west ward. The swarming population shares Its joys and sorrows aud garments with Impartial hand. Many of the brides whose brief finery startles tholr old companions on the wedding night hire their gowns and veils. The most gorgeous nnd costly crea tions are obtainable for $5 an evening. The paraphcrnnlln of mourning may be rented for a single occnslon. Rail dresses warrnnted to captivate are for hire In Division street. Chowder par tics are equipped throughout for n day ou the sound. There are dozens of establishments that drive a flourishing business loan ing dross suits for a consideration. A rigid social etiquette prescribes that the truck driver and small shopkeeper shall on such formal occasions as bulls and receptions don the clawhammer, and the downright east slder would rather be out of tho world than out of fashion as he understands It. The young men who purchnsc secondhand the dress suits of business men whom they accost In Broadway and Wnll street are the scouts of these luring establishments. Hevamped and press ed nuew. a dress suit will earn its sec ond cost lu two or three evenings. The garb of the floor committee at a typical ball of a social club is evidence enough that the tnllors of New York are n cosmopolitan group. New York Mail and Express. Tbe Human Birds. A facetious tuau who rejoices In the nnme of Bird conceived the Idea of calling a convention of all the peoplo In Philadelphia who belong to his tribe.

Uo dis covered that there were Just an even 100 plain Birds, but tbe variety or those who specified their kinds was appalling.

She neglected tbe baby, which revenged Itself by crying day nnd night. The pnssengers com plained In language more forcible tbao polite. "Steward, throw that baby over board!" was petulantly shouted from sleepless berths. At Inst Lord Lawrence, seeing that the child was left motherless by Ita own mother, took It on his knee. For hours he would hold It. showing It his wnteh and anything that would amuse It. The child look to the great, strong mini nnd wns always quiet when he held It. "Why do you. my lord." asked one of the relieved passengers, surprised to see the governor genernl of India playing nurse to a crying baby, "why do you take such notice of thnt child?" "Because, to tell you the truth." an swered IiOrd Lawrence, with a merry twinkle In his eye.
