SPRING HILL ITEMS.

MT. IL. ~. McL6nOre narrowly Is
capped being killed a few days ago. He
and after loading his wagon, started
home, but soon after leaving the mill,
his driver discovered that he had lett
his coat. Mr.. McLemore told him to
take his horse and GO Eacl. for it, aa4
he would drive the wagon until he
caught up. While driving, the team
became frightened and ran away, throw
ing him violently to the ground, and
both wheels of the loaded wagon ran
over his legg, c4ippling hlm up pretty
badly. The wonder is that his legs
were not crushed and he made a cripple
for life; but fortunately he escaped with
only slight cuts and bruises, and is rap>
idly recovering from his injuries.
Miss King, of East Tennessee, the
highly accomplished neice of Mrg. a. c.
White, accompanied Gy her brother, is
with, DR.. White and family at this
place.
Mr.. Crutchfie'd, of Chattanooga, the
founder and for many years the proprie~
tor OF the popular hotel bearing his
name, at that place, was the guest of
DIR. A. G. White IasC week. Having at
tended the great joipt sale of Gibson,
Brown, Johnson and the COckrill broth
ers, near Nashville, he came out for the
and herds OF Brown and Gibson, bare
surplus of whose stock was sold at said
sale, and both of whom have still left
large tlocks of the purest breeds of sheep
and unsurpassed herds of Durham, Ayr
shire, Devon and GtheF breeds of cattle.
Mr.. Crutchfield, by his gold mines and
other enterprises, has amassed a large

most fashionable crosses.
Mr.. Sam. Finly, a grocery merchant
of Spring Hill, and Mr.. Bob Orman,
carpenter, have purchased from Major
Cam. Brown, a lot, each, in the west
margin of town, upon which thuY are
erecting NICE cottages for family resi-
depces, for themselves. 1t is the begin
ming Of growth in the direction of the
depot, which in time will add very mas
terially to the development of the viii
lage. 1t is lumorea that Major Brown,
and other friends and members of the
Episcopal Church, intend, before long,
to erect in this same locality neat and
handsome church editice. 1t is to be
hoped that this cOmmendable object
will be carried out, for although the
members OF this communion are not
very numerous here, yet they are veal
thy and influential. and fully able to
build church, such an one as Will be
an ornament to the town, and to COM
mand the services OF a pastor or rector
OF such talents and requirements as
shall make his ministrations both ac-
ceptable and profitable, MOI only to
themselves as Christian denomin alton,
but to the community generally-aEd
as such it is hoped that this liberal peO-
pie will, whenever the opportunity is
offered, contribute literally TO the en-
terprise. John said, Master, we saw
one casting devils in thy name; and we
forbade him, because he followed not
with us. Aud Jesus said unto him,
Forbid hiRl not; for he that is not
against us is for us"
Mr.. James F. Alexander and family
haye recently returned from their rela-

but fer the fact that Mr.. A. owns one

and thinks that good enough,
Capt. Ben. Rogers, whose illness we
mentioned lately, but who had so far
recovered as to be able to ride about,
had a congestiye chill on last Saturday
and was In most critical condition, but
is again improving, and 1t is hoped win
soon lie fully restored to health.
