Ladies' Fair for the Benefit Of NJ. f..
Church South In Monroe.

| We call attention to the advertise
ment, in another column, of the Fair
soon to be held by the Ladies of Mon
roe and vicinity for the purpose Of sup
plementing the collections for the beau
tiful new brick Methodist Church. We
have examined, with pleasure, the
plans of the building. In architecture
it is composite (of Grecian and Gothic)
and measures SO feet by 63 feet, eXclu-
sive of the tower, which is about - IT.
square, and rises, in massive form, to
the highth of so feet. 1t impresses one
Immediately with its happy combina-
ton of beauty and strength and the alb
sence of any attempt at that sickly SEN
timentalism and affectation of ornament
which has crept into many of our pub
lie edifices. If completed according to
plan, it will be one of the handsomcst
structures in the State and quite an
honor to our town.
The building is progressing with
some rapidity. The builder, our towns
man, Mr.. r. S. Conner, is doing the
best brick-work, we must say, ever
done in Monroe. For his enterprise
and skill he deserves great credit.
The Methodists in this section are
very numerous and wealthy, and ought
to rally to the support Of these noble
ladies and their Church in this town.
Their usual expenditures about Christ
mas, if concentrated ut their Fair,
would more than furnish the needed |
and they probably would not
be called upon again. We bcspeak
liberality to the struggling cause Of our
fair friends. In after years, to them
and their children, it will be Il great
to the patrons of this enter
prise to know that they had stock in
such q structure.

Advertisers will please forward their
tavors for the Daily ut once, that they
may be prepared in due time for publ
cation. The advertisements for the
Daily are independent of, and may be
different from, those in the Weekly,
and hence advertisers are requested to
afford us the necessary time to display
appropriately their cards and adver-

contain the latest press dispatches-in-
Guiding foreign, domestic and market

port will in future be despatched olaily,
the same as the mails for the East.
The trains East and the stage line West
will thus enable us to compete success

of which that district of country should
eagerly avail itself in this important

FINE FALL IRISH PoTATOEs.-Col.
G. II. Morrison has presented us with
a basket of Irish potatoes possessing
unusual merits. They are of the Good
rich variety, being as large as any we
have ever seen of that variety, and
were grown from seed planted in Au-
gust, at his Charleston place. When
cooked, they are very dry and mealy,
and have a fine flavor, being an inn
provement upon the original Goodrich
in this respect. But the most eXtraor-
binary feature is, that these potatoes
were grown from seed saved at home
and arc six crops removed from the
imported seed, which were purchased
in 1868. This refutes successfully the
popular belief that we are dependent
upon importation for planting potatoes.
Five consecutive crops from potatoes
grown here, with a potatoe improved
at the fifth crop, is proof enough to the
We hope Col. Morrison will
find time to give us his method OF plant
ing and saving the potatoe.

Dispatch from DIR. Paul f. Eve,

A telegram has just been received from
Dr. Paul F. Eve, from st. Louis, addressed
to the President of the Faculty of the Medi-
cal Department of the University of Nash
vile, DR. c. K. Winston, in response to
one notifying him Or. E of his election
to a Professorship in the University. The
Doctor telegraphs that his unanimous cleo
ton to the Professorship of Operative and
Clinical Surgery in the University is highly
gratifying to him. Approaching the kind
ness and generosity evinced on the part of
the Faculty in electing him, the Doctor in
accepting the call pledges his best efforts
to make himself worthy of it, and to pro-
mote the interests of the institution. 1t is
useless for us to add that the services of
DR.. Eve will be 9 valuable acquisition to
the able Faculty of this, the most re-
nowned medical college in the South or

Honors 20 a NashviIIe Cadet.

Among the various exercises and recrea-
tions allowed the cadets of the United
States Military Academy at West Point
and tending to promote their general
health, none stand more prominent or find
greater favor among the students than
their several boat clubs Each class has its
separate organization which it retains dur
ing the whole term. The fourth class,
soon to become the third, have just organ
lied, and it is with pleasure we announce
that they have elected Cadet Thomas n.
Bailey, of Nashville, President. This is
regarded in the academy as mark of high
distinction and it is not the first time we
have been able to chronicle the advance
ment of this cadet. 1t is especially inter
esiing as it shows an absence of that
prejudice sometimes said to exist against
boys of Southern birth. We congratulate
our young friend the President of the
Undine Boat Club of the class OF '73. -
