SPRING HILL sTENS.

! our reporter failed to mention, last
/ week, an important issue connected
| with the camp-meeting at Pope'S, which
| was the excellent singing of the ThOmp-
| son Station SUnday-SChOOl, with Esq
1 Thomas Banks as their leader. They
/ added very materially to the interest of
! the meeting, and did much to prevent
that levity and talk ing during the inter
! walls between the sermons, which is so
common on such occasions: their sweet
songs attracting the attention Ofthe rest
| less masses, and forcing them, by the
delightful strains and sweet words, to
/ think of 1.-The home over there where
all, even the worst sinner, wants to go,
when this mortal coil is shifted off,"
The meeting resulted in between forty
and fifty conversions, embracing the
very best classes of this vicinity, and will
send out through the surrounding coun,
try spirit of conservation and re-dedi-
cation to Gods service. which will make
itselffelt in ali the qualifications of So
ciety.
10 is with sincere sorrow that we learn
of the serious and continued illness of
Col. II. /. Wade, of the AShWood coun-
try. His physician DR.. fowler, has adj
vised him TO Try the healing virtues of
the Hot Springs in Arkansas or Virginia,
to one of which places he will have start
ed before this appears.
The sale OfstOc<, etc, OF j. w. Cheairs,
decd, came off on Thursday the 18th
inst. \ great deal of fine stock was
sold at good prices, embracing some
thing less than one thousand sheep,
composed OF sOuthdowns, cOtswold,
grade and common, fifteen or twenty
work mules, and a splendid lot of mares
and colts. MIR. Webster bought gelding
tor two hundred and five dollars, which
If properly trained TO harness, will make
his mile in less than three minutes Mr.
ThOs. Jones bought vearling filly for
one hundred and ten dollars, which is
not eXcelled in saddle blood and quail
ties by any animal OF her age in Maury
county.
Maj. w. Il. Wilkes and wife, from Alb
erdeen, Miss, together with his two
daughters, Mrs. Love from Hurricane,
and Mrs. Shell of Aberdeen, Miss, have
been spending few days with their rel

We regret to learn that Ben. Rogers,
Esq, Montgomery the talented son-in-
law of Mr.. X. W. McLentUre, who was
ghOnght to be recovering from az attack
of fever, has relapsed, and is now quite
sick again. His wife, too, is slowly re-
covering from an attack similar to that
of her husband. Their little daughter,
Olive, has also been down SIGH with the
fever. Mr.. Rogers, it will be recollected,
was sworn in as an attorney at COlum>
bia, not long since.
1t will be gratifying to the many
friends Of Col. Martin Il. Cheairs, to learn
that he has so far recovered as to be able
to leave home for BlOunt Springs, Ala,
where he viii remain several weeks, if
the waters should prove beneficial to
him.
Mrs. Cald well has gone to CampbeIls-
vile on visit to her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Hanna, who is about eighty wears of
age, and the last and only remaining
member of the family, of which Or. st.
Clair F., and DR.. Silas Caldwell, were
hOnored members.
Capt. H. L. Pointer mas an eve for the
beautiful, as eyinced in all his selections.
His mules are the finest; his colts the
most elegant his sheep unsurpassed; his
saddle stock, under the training of his
nephew, Charlie BufOrd, is nonpareil;
and one more evidence of his good taste
might be added, but delicacy restraints
the mention of it.
Rev. r. g. Irvine has exceiled himself
in preaching lately. His sermon at the
camp>lneeting, was one of the happiest
efforts of his life. And on last Sabbath,
III the Methodist church, at this place,
he gave to the congregation a sermon
full of sublime truths, admiration and
comfort. rs his term draws to a close,
the hearts Of ali the people seem drawn
to him with Warmest affection, and if
we could install him as perr"o- ont ,,os-
'0+ = .nurcn, there would not be
dissenting voice to the proposition.
Rey. Mr.. Gray, of the Presbyterian
church, is steadily gaining upon the es-
TEEN and good will Of the members of
that church and congregation. He is
proving himself TO be not only man OF
deep and ardent piety, but ripe scholar,
profound thinker, and most excel
lent preacher; man Ofliberal views and
most catholic spirit. s In this particular,
much like his below d predecessor, Rev.
L. y. Thompson,
Maj. \. +. Cheairs and Rev. Il. G. r.
vine, expect to camp together at Hurri-
cane Camp Ground. Heretofore the
Methodist Church at this place, has
Jointly equipped and occupied tent at
this popular camp ground, but this year
it is private enterprise, and will doubt
less prove, under the management of
these noble Methodist families, a great
acquisition to the list OF campers.
