ON A FARM TO MARKET ROAD IN TENNESSEE—(Si)ccial)—
At lost I am in God’s country; again. The difference between Tennessee
and Pennsylvania is unbelievable. Com pone and turnip greens three
times a day here, but ih Philadelphia they have not yet discovered
that delicious dish. This vacation is just what I needed before going
back for the Democratic Contention,
This in strictly a non-poliljical tour. I am not mentioning any candi
date Vet for fear of a landslide. The Democrats are so eageit to find a
man to run that any suggeatiojnH I might hiakc would throw the country
into a turmoil. Don’t think thi^t I fcrtV^Ogldcting my duty as the servant
iof the people though. My eyes arc open to uny man who might be
l qualified to run.
. The i hotels; ih this part of the country arc
much better than tho*c in Philadelphia. The
rates aije much ‘ more reasonable. Usually, if

I can stiy for nothing. The “horseless carriage”
td be a novelty in this state.
Many inventive crows have started to
roost on houses and churcnes, but unfor
tunately, this isn’t appreciated by the build
ing owners. A plea nas been made to the
crows lor them to adopt tne habit Of roost
ing on the ground, but the crows got ail up
in the air about it and said that if tney were
going to be left out of sometning, they want
ed to be left out on a limb.
Some of the more reiined crows, used to
roosting in nothing but cherry trees in full
bloom, picketed a number of hall-tree fac
tories bearing placards that read “Never
more”. Some pauper named Poe turned in
the idea of rounding up all the pallid busts
oi Pauas just above peopled chamber doors
and letting the crows roost on them. He
said that tnis worked very well for him and
that he still has one roosting above his cham
ber door, still a siltin’, never flittin’. The
Chinese officials fear that Mr. Poe is just
a raven maniac though.
