DICKSON COUNTY.

The Circuit Court commenced Monday
last Judge ]. E. Rice presiding, who
charged the Grand Jury that day and then
proceeded with the civil docket. The
next day began the calling of the State
docket, and the case of the State VS.. Por-
ter, charged with killing Jack Snowden,
was taken up, in which able counsel were
employed on both sides. The case rests
on circumstantial evidence, and much in
terest is being manifested by the citizens.
Judge Rice displays fine executive abil-
ity in the dispatch of business, and every
thing is done ''decently and in order" in
their courts, their Sheriff being, as we
believe, one of the best in the State. In
fact, the whole county is ably differed
with faithful and efficient men.
We had the pleasure of visit to Tracey
Academy where we found our esteemed

male teacher to assist and also to teach
music.
The hotel is conducted by Mr.. and Mrs.
T. w. Hendrick and they exert them
selves to please all their visitors, being
attentive and good providers.

At the time the tornado occurred he was

Che was an engineer on one of the roads, }
aud was caught and held fast by one of
the falling timbers. The building instantly
caught fire and was destroyed. The I'M
fortunate man after being caught in the

but before any one had the nerve to do
this, or take some other energetic meas
ures, the fast-spresding flames smothered
him, and he quickly persisted.
