the difficulties which have befallen Mr..

PRODUCTION of these new vehicles for the

Mr.. johnson has been in the habit of
using postal cards for his business cor

one in the post Office, in addition to the
written communication upon it, he pasted
printed label about the size of post

DR.. n. L. NoRTHINGToN. - The
people, through their appointed dele
gates, have selected this gentleman as
the standard bearer of the Conserva-
tive Democratic party in the coming
contest for the legislature. His ante
cedents are democratic, having been
trained in that school from boyhood
up-he has never appeared before the
people for political preferment until
the present. He is sound upon all the
questions affecting our property as a
county, and brings to bear in their
support a fair amount of talent and
energy. Now that he is the nominee
of convention, and by that act we, as
a party, stand pledged to give hearty
and undivided support. Our people
have adopted the convention plan of
nominating candidates-now let us be
consistent and uphold our nominees,
for any dissension now in ourranks
will ensure defeat.

Bethel Association.

The Bethel Association of Baptist
churches met in this city on Tuesday,
18th inst. The meeting was organized
by the usual course of electing mod
orator and clerk. Rev. G. +. Bagby,
of Trenton, being elected moderator,
and Prof. J. II. Fuqua, clerk. Fifty
three churches were represented. The
letters from the churches showed a
high degree of prosperity among many
of them. The annual sermon was
preached at 8 o'clock, p. m, on Tues
day. An immense crowd assembled
in the large audience room ofthe Bap-
fist church. and the sermon was fully
equal to the reputation of DR.. Baker,
who had been appointed to preach it.
The several meetings of the body were
entirely harmonious. A number Of
distinguished ministers preached in
the Baptist church during the session
OF the Association. There were up
wards of one hundred and seventy-fye
present, who were all en-
tertained by our citizens, many MEM
bers of all the churches in the city
opening their houses and extending a
cordial hospitality.

ton of delegates left for their homes,
and we learn were delighted with the
manner in which they were received
and entertained by their brethren and
the people in general.
The next session of the Association
will be held at Elkton, Todd County,
KY, the last week in August 1875.

The Great New York and New Or

arrive in this city on Friday, Sept. 11th.
In speaking of which we cansdo no
better than quote the following from
the Richmond News:
The Great New York and New Or
leans Exposition made its advent into
our city yesterday morning. In the
forenoon, it appeared on our thorough
fares with one of the most extensive
pageants that was ever shown in our
city. 1t was n great perambulating
panorama of wealth and splendor, the
result Of the lavish outlay of great
fortune. Taken all in all it was one
of the finest dislays ever seen in our
city, and the exhibition patronized by
the largest audience ever cOngregated
under any circus pavilion here. The
animal kingdom was well represented,
and was filled with rare specimens from
all parts of the globe. The perform
ance in the hippodrome was of the
highest order of art and science in the
arena and elected unaffected praise.
Prof. Conklin with his den of feroci-
Gus .LiOns, inspired the amazement
and awe of everybody. The little
Queen of air, Miss Jessie, made her
appearance upon the wire and went
through her performance just as
though she had not fallen % feet onto
the top of a canvass tearing 1T open
and passing to the earth beneath it in
the forenoon. And here we would
protest against such exhibitions of
nerve, especially upon the part of a
woman as to ascend a single rope to
the point of center pole during the
prevalence of strong gale such as was
blowing yesterday. But rather than
disappoint the multitude that had
come hither to witness the feat, she
resolutely assembled until blown off by
the wind, fortunately without injury.
the canvass breaking the fall although
not preventing her going through it.
But the performance was on the bills,
and we can safely say this great show
fills the advertisement more closely
than any other we have ever seen and
we highly recommend it.
The performers male and female are
artististic and renned as gentlemen,
they are polished and polite as bust
ness men, they are undertaking and
scrupulous in the discharge of their
obligations Remember at Clarks-
vile, Sept. llth.
