Rev. F. C. Wilkes, former pastor of the
Methodist Church, left last Saturday for
his field of labor for the conference year
We regret to part with him. The people
of Spring Hill will no doubt be we'll
pleased with him.
Mr.. Henry Davis moved into Rev.
f. G. Wilkes house few days since.
Rev. W. H. Wilkes is now making
preparations to move his family to Mt.
Pleasant, that being his appointment for
the ensuing year.
We understand that Mr.. J. A. Cochran
will take possession of the Dinwiddie
house soon, so travellers visiting our vii
lage need not fear of not finding some
place where they can get their hash, }"
comfortable rooms, &c.
= Grass, hoppers are very plentiful in the
northern part of the village. One of the
young merchants of that place received
a box by express not long since and
thinking that perhaps it was box Of
good things, paid the charges and opened
the box, when out came more Hopper
Grasses than we have seen in some time.
The sender should have sent them to
some farmer; as grass is very scarce in
the lefty" we fear they may starve.
We understand that Mr.. w. E. B., is
to start for 'Callie' -fornia soon.
DR., ]. G. Williamson, one of our best
physicians, left fer New York last Mon
day the 1st inst. for the purpose of at
tending lectures, much to the regret of
his many, and especially lady, friends.
The room over DR.. w. w. Cochran's
Drugstore has been fitted up by the Odd
Fellows for lodge room; it is beauti-
full room for the purpose -every thing is
kept in the most perfect order, neat and
clean. The offence Of placing an obstruc-
ton on the trestle has been committed
three times lately. We hope the offender
may be brought to justice. The "Dix-
les" of Pulaski and the Rock Citys' of
this place, met in Lynnville last Satur-
day and played a match game of base
ball. The Rock City Club came off vic>
torious, making forty -three runs to the
'Dixies' fifteen. Great complaints are
being made about the shortness of the
cotton crop; some will not make more
than fifth of crop. Mr.. E. W. Rose,
our handsome young friend, payed fly
ing visit to his home in Pulaski Saturday.
He has been quite sick for the past week
Ben Fitzpatrick, son of Mr. B. F. Fitzpat-
rick, is now quite sick and is not expect
ed to recover. There were six acres 'of
land purchased of the johnson estate
some months since, for the purpose of
erecting a good school room on. Since
the purchase we have heard very little of
the school room being erected. Hope to
see ere long the comm encement of the
good work, for of all things that our com.
munity needs, it is a neat and commodi-
Gus school room; then let US have the
school room.
Mrs. M. K. Alternately is now absent
on visit to her relatives Of Nashville.

We will be glad to have him among US.
Several of Prot. Webb's students have
entered the Vanderbilt University, some
of them in advanced classes; their places
have been filed by other new students
from the Southern States and from our
own.
Some excitement has prevailed in the
community from the fact that slight OBJ
structions were found placed on the Rail
Road track near the trestle, over FOun>
tain creek two or three different times
The indications are that they were pla-
ced there by a small half witted negro
boy, some seven or eight years old
The distractions were too slender to
seriously endanger the trains and yet are
very annoying.
Our community has been afflicted with
only few cases of chills which have been
So prevalent in some portions of the coun-
ty, and these have mostly subsidized.
Mr.. W. B. Ramon has been prospect
ing in and near the village for a house for

mite ARRANGEMENT if renOrts are true
