"Why," ejaculated Billy, "Tipton is twenty-two miles away." The good wife had slipped away, and presently returned, inviting him to enter and have something to eat. As they entered the cozy dining room, turning to Mrs. Sparrow, the young man said: "My name is Edwards Carl Edwards; I am an Englishman, and have been in this country only six weeks. I am trying to find some employment."
John Sevier's son, James, bore the letter of September 12th to Gardoqui. White and James Sevier, the emissaries of Franklin, with their plans and proposals, John Sevier was arrested by Colonel Tipton at the Widow Brown's in Washington County, on the charge of high treason. He was handcuffed and borne off, first to Jonesborough and later to Morganton.
He spoke wearily, as a tired man speaks of distasteful work which he must do. There was contempt in his voice; contempt of Agapoulos, and contempt of himself. "Ah!" cried the Greek, brightening; "do I know any of them?" "Probably. General Sir Francis Payne, Mr. Eddie, and Sir Horace Tipton." "An Anglo-American party, eh?" "Quite. Mr.
"You see, Tipton is a regular vacation for us folks," Billy Blow explained to him. "Country around isn't populous enough for more than one day's performances, and then only when the county fair is on. We rest two days, and play Saturday. Then is your chance. There's a good deal of shifting and taking on new hands. We'll watch out for you. You'll see some fun, too.

Patterson, and Professor Ammons, who established the department of domestic science in the Colorado Agricultural College.
The applicants for work were ordered to appear at Tipton, two days later. Several were after an advance on their salary. Some farmers appeared with claims for foraging done by circus hands. Finally Andy got to the front and tendered the card Mr. Harding had given him. "All right," shot out Scripps sharply, giving the lad a keen look. "You're the one who blocked the game on Benares? Good for you!
"I am going on immediately to Tipton," said Dorothea, rather haughtily. "Good-by." Sir James could say nothing as he accompanied her to the carriage. He was altogether discontented with the result of a contrivance which had cost him some secret humiliation beforehand. Dorothea drove along between the berried hedgerows and the shorn corn-fields, not seeing or hearing anything around.
Sevier hesitated to push matters to extremity by charging home. For a couple of days there was some skirmishing and two or three men were killed or wounded. Then the county-lieutenant of Sullivan, with a hundred and eighty militia, came to Tipton's rescue. MSS., No. 150, vol. iii.
