bic calling. | took the l. o'clock train and

Old friends and acqUHintances. Henderson
has grown up since the war, and the town
Is mostly iiliesl up by citizens from Hendcr-
son county. TuCrc i no place that has
been more highly favored aud blessed with
good schools than Henderson. The lien
dCT>on Masonic Male and Female Institute,

boast Of Ms friends. ECV. G.. NJ savage Is
President, with corps Of good and Cflici-
Cat teachers for the different departments.
This institution has done more probably

spent the night with my old friend Capt.
a. h. Crook who always possessed an I'M
usual share Of hospitality. Capt. Crook
might be called with prOpriCty the Pion-
Ger OF Henderson Station and has probably
done more than any one man 10 build up
the place. / took the train next morning
and stopped oil AZ McNairy Station, where
/ met good many old friends and aCquain-
tanCCs, 1 always feel at home McNairy.
