Will S. Dickson, Esq, of Mooresburg
will spend this week in our town.
Col. W. E. NJ. Word, the popular Gen
eral. Passenger Agent of the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio Railroad, visited
our town Monday, on business connect
ed with his road. t .fr
The genial presence of our popular
fcllow-townsrnan, II. G. Cain, who, with
his family, has been spending fortnight
at the Warm Springs, added interest to
the social circle at the Turley House
Sunday.
We had pleasant call, Monday, from
Walter H. Robertson, Esq, of Buckley,
Robertson & BIackIey, real estate agents,
Bristol, Va He wants to buy mountain
land, and was on his return from Clai-
borne county, where he made extensive
purchases See tile card of BIackely,
Robertson & Blackley in this paper.
We are pleased to see on a visit to his
relatives and, friends in this town, our
former tOwnsman, w. G. Carmichael,
who is now a citizen of Asheville, N. c..
We are gratified to learn that he is doing
well in his business, is well pleased with
his new home, and that the prospects of
an early completion of the railroad con-
nection, so important to that town and
this, is daily becoming more certain.
At Rogersvillc, Thursday last, we had
the satisfaction of renewing an acquain-
lance, formed twenty years ago, with
Col. J. Woodrum, then editor of the Sa-
lem (Va.) Register, a paper in its day of
more than local reputation. The Colo
mel has long been out of the newspaper
harness, and between a healthy practice
in his profession as a lawyer and the
profits arising from well conducted plan
tation, subsequently,, has managed to
preserve a remarkable freedom from that
appearance of age and cares discernible
in the physiognOmy of his less lucky
contemporaries. Our collision develop
ed the fact that he visited East Tennes-
see as aid-de-camp on the staff of Gen. J.
Bartlett Cox, and was returning from a
foraY into Hawkins county in which his
chief had captured and held then as pris-
oner one of Hawkins lOveliest maids.
Under such circumstances, 'twould have
been wondrous strange the meeting had
not been jolly one. Cox isn't Meth
odist, or much of a singer, yet as we
glided along delightfully."- over the North
ern end of Maj Elliott's incompatible
road, dozen of us atop of SaratOgas,
lunch baskets and little children, on an
improved sleeper, called in the. popular
vernacular, :" The Dump" his partially
for music ovcrcame his innate modesty
and he attempted to favor the company
with the we'll known lines
. A charge to keep l have
but as a musical entertainment it would
have ended miserable failure, owing
to the propeller suddenly hating for
watering, had not Woodrum, with his
eyes frozen on the happy pair, struck up
in his mellifulOus voice
1t is the way long have sought,
And mOurncd because found it not. "
1t was manifest then that Woodrum had
a feIlow-feeling for Cox, and it was even
whispered that he would soon do as Cox
did-return with one of Tennessee's fair
daughters to grace his bachelor home at
Salem.
