Inhabitants of the valley: This is bi OaT
truth of our naturc, and is shown In nians
ways. The most skiIlful and devoted fisher
men frequently live far from any stFS t1iii
containing fish. For instance, spring III
and Franklin are far from good nsnlHHS
water, and yet those two towns conIaLlI
some of the most ardent and suecesSsiiut as iS
glers, such as n. r. Cheairs, Col. NJ i.

Church, set out, last autumn, SIX hunlreu
reach trees and four hundred apple Iees.
The peach trees are seedlings, and two Jun
bred of the apple trees were bought OF IN.
sixtY from W. S. Rainey, and forty from
Nashville nursery. He says Ine We
bought at Columbia have turned out mlch
better than those brought from NashVlle'

and more trees next autumn-tWelEe hul-
bred peach trees and eight hundred ape
tween every two apple trees, ana ole
in each fence corner. He expects TO male
brandy out of his peaches and summer aP-
pies, and sell his winter apples.
Aaron ]. Akin, of Bear Creek, says ne
has sewing machine which he boulnt
over ffty-three years ago, and when olly
cost him one dollar, and he wouldn't glvelI
for any of the new kind.

| We see that the Methodists, at thar
| District Conference at Pulaski, decided %
| build a parsonage for the Presiding Eide.
/ It is to be located either at Columbia, Pula-
| XII or CulleOka-the three railroad towns Ff
| the District. Every Methodist in the NJ
| trict should help to build this pa
sonage, for it is greatly needed. The Pr
siding Elder sacrifices absolutely all OF rs
time in the service of the church, and UT
with his salary and the price of renting Ola
house, he is bound to come out behind. 1t
developed last fall that he spent $500 m're
than his salary last year because the peole
would not pay him. 1t is a shame fer a ich
church to treat their preacher in sud a
way. Let them build him a parsonage, md
that will help him at the rate of $500 a var.
Col. POwhatan Gordon IS the first in the

ones in his garden at Duck River DEPOT.
