SPRING HILL ITEMS.

There is to be a sacramental meeting
at the Presbyterian church, in this place
embracing Saturday and Sabbath next,
the 3rd and 4th of October. The Rev.
Mr.. Gray, the pastor of this church,
has been absent for few days, attend
/ preached series of sermons, which are
/ very highly commended by all who
| heard them. 1t is but simple justice to
say, that he is steadily gaining the
esteem and good will of this whole com
munity, and warm place in the hearts
not only of the members of his own
church, but of all denominations.
Mitchell, of Columbia, preach, and
| general wish that he may assist Mr..
| Gray on this sacramental occasion.
The Rev. Mr.. Jordan has closed his
| years labor as pastor of the Methodist
| Church. The two ablest sermons of
his pastorate were delivered on last
| Sabbath at IL o'clock, and at night.
He leaves on Monday morning for
Gallatin, the seat of the annual Con-
| ference, not knowing whether he will
be returned to this place or sent to some
| distant field of labor. What anxiety
must perVade the minds and hearts OF
the noble men, who form the ''rank and
file" of the itinerant ministry OF the
Methodist Church, as conference ap-
proaches, knowing their liability to be
removed and changed from one station
or circuit to another, without a moments
notice. The self-sacrificing spirit
evinced by hundreds of these men is
almost without parallel in this worlds
history.
Maj. N. f. Cheairs had a congestive
chill on his way home from Nashville
last week, and has been quite sicS eyer
since, but we are gratified to learn that
his physician, DIR. Crump, considers him
now out of danger. 1t is thought that
Maj. Cheairs contracted this disease
while traversing the swamps of Arkan-
sas, on his recent visit to that malarious
country.
Mr.. Eugene Greenlaw, one of our
weslthiest and most enterprising citi |
zens is making preparations to move to |
Shelby county. There is a universal !
feeling Of regret in the community at
loosing from our midst so valuable q |
citizen, together with his most excellent |
family. He is leaving here one of the |
loveliest homes in the county, and it |
is to be hoped that after a pleasant !
sojOurn in Memphis, that he and his |
family will return to the Eden which |
they are leaving.
Maj. Campbell Brown has been quite |
sick recently, with severe and protract-
ed spell of some kind of dysenteric |
affection, from which he is slowly re-
covering. There is not in the county |
a man who loads more active lite or |
who devotes more time and attention to |
business than Maj. Brown, and when |
he is not seen passing Notwithstanding |
to the varied interests of his large estate,
it is Immediately known that he is either |
sick or gone from home.
There are to be three large sales of
valuable personal property in our town,
with the next fifteen days. Mr.. Henry
P. Wade, Administrator, sells on the
9TH day OF October, the personal proper
ty OF the late Mrs. Susan T. Cheairs, ami
on the 18th day OF October the personal
estate of DR.. A. c. White, and Mr.. Green
laws sale is on the 18th day of October.
Each of these sales, will present attrac-
tions, in the way of valuable books,
splendid furniture, fine carpets, blooded
cattle, and saddle and harness horses,
such as are rarely met with.
DIR. Molloy has been in very feeble
health tor several weeks past, and came
very near dying last week, but is some~
what improved and hopes are now
entertained that he will soon be up
again. The Cumberland Church in
this place has been under his care for
several years past, and if they lose
him, will never have the services of
more Jealous and faithful pastor. This
church has lately been pretty thoroughly
renovated and presents very handsome
appearance.
Mr.. n. B. Cheairs has become part
ner Of his brother, John NJ. Cheairs,
in the store, where their father was so
long and so fsvorably known as a mer-
chant, and with his experience in
business and his acknowledged finan-
cial ability added to the close business
habits of his younger brother this
house is destined to become, what it
formerly was, Leading mercantile
establishment of all this region of coun-
