Tuesday morning to visit his home in
North Carolina, and his brother in Kan

Mr.. EDITOR II had the pleasure of
attending the Ice Cream Supper given
at the Dinwiddie House, by the ladies of
CulleOka, on the 18th inst, for the ben
eft of the Masonic Fraternity at that
place. Notwithstanding the inclem-
ency of the weather, the bells and beaux
were out in large numbers. The room
was most handsomely and tastefully
festoOned with flewery wreaths, inter
spersed with appropriate devices. The
tables were admirably arranged and
crowned with towering pyramids of
cream, presided over by a host of bright
eyed, rosy-cheek lasses, who dispensed
the luscious ices with a charming grace
and witching smiles. Among them l
noticed the Misses Fitzpatricks, Coch-
rams, Wilkes, Fannie Hunt, Pride, Alice
Ballenfant, Blanche Scales, and last.
but not less radient, Miss Lizzie Ballan-
FAINT, queen of this bright circle of beau
ty. Wherever she moved she shed
joy, and infected each one with her CAV
and cheerful spirit. About II O'Clock
the company adjourned to the new Ma

which they assented, and he went into
the house and drew pistol from under

A Military company is being organ
lied in Pulaski for the Tennessee Brig

j. r. Crow had the list last week, and
it had the names of about twenty five
of our best young men upon it. The
Brigade will camp in Philadelphia dur

don't know what officers our company
will select, but we suggest the name
of Col. G. G. Rogers as Captain. He is
entirely fitted to be Colonel OF one of
the regiments, Of general of the Brig
ade, being West Pointer, man Of
commanding appearance, and in ali
respects qualified for either position.
We saw his name upon the list.

We make the following extracts from the
Colombia Rerald's report:
Great multitudes attended on Saturday, at
II O'Clock, when the beautiful church lust I'm
nished, was dedicated by Rev. A G. Diuwid-
die Of Pulaski STATEN. His text was Matthew
10th, and 18th verses, "And say unto thee,
thou art Peter, and upon this rcek l will
build my church, and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it.n The exegesis Of the
text was clear and forcible. The erroneous
exposition made by Roman Catholicism was
ably and satisfactorily exploded.
The Sermon was eloquent and showed that
the high estimation IN which he is held by
his fohIeT district is rightfully bestowed He
is a popular orator, After the sermon Rev.
Mr.. Dinwiddie, paused and said that there
was debt of two hundred and seventy-fve
dollars hanging over the church, which must
be paid before the house could be given TO
God; whereupon he Immediately called upon
the generous people Of Hampshire for that
amount and in few minutes raised three
hundred and forty dollars. He then offered
the dedicatory prayer, setting apart the house
to the worship of God. =
Sunday school mass-meeting was hsld sun

were made by Rev. j. o. Blanton, ". NJ

Golman Greene.

was AL primed to illustrate in his address the
grand principle Of truth by relating his ia

him in it, which disconcersed Uncle Golman.

Picnic and Hop at Bethany.

There was a picnic at Bethany on
the 9th inst. The remembrance of this
occasion, no difference if it comes in
twenty years, will be sufficient to dis
pei the deepest gloom. Bethany is eel
ebrated for fair women and brave men,
and to have seen them congregated in
the shady grove in pursuit of innocent
pleasure, one would have naturally
thought that heaven or some fairy land
was not far of. But to Mr.. Thomas G
Jones, the impersenation of all those
noble qualities of mind and heart that
constitute a man in the fullest meaning
of the term, the young people are in
debted for the most pleasant time of the
season. BE inyited the picnic crowd
to his residence, where they 'stripped
it merrily on tho light fantastic until
the ''wee sma' hours warned them to
desist. He and his estimabie lady did
all that the most generous impulses
could dictate, to heighten the joyous
ness of the OCCASION, May they live
long and prosper. Your REPoRrER.

it was ''select." He made the temple

His lecture was descriptive, poetical and

moral obligations resting upon man to
worship him, were recognized. The
Colonel avoided controversial points in

STAY At HOME
What Dissatisfied Tennesseans
May Expect if They Go West.

Fayetteville Express: We We're
shown few days ago a letter addressed
TO Il citizen of this place bv a very in
telligent and reliable Teunessean. now
living near Los Angeles, California
which gives any thing but an encour-
aging account of the modern Eldorado.
The country around Los Angeles is cali
ed the garden spot o. California and il
has been highly recommended to emf
grants As possessing all the advantages
OF soil, climate, society, ETC., thar The
most eXactiug conld require. The
writer OF the letter referred to comedies
that during the spring season tile conn
try is beautiful and well calculated TO
charm a stranger, bit he insists that the
tall and winter months would dishear-
ten any person accustOmed TO the uni
fOrmly line climate of Tennessee, He
thinks tn It California is no place for Door
men, and advises ali such to remain in
tennessee, ii they have any opportuni-
ties whatever for making living. I'M
proved lands near the cities sell from
500 to 81 200 per acre. and unimprOyed
tracts in the country rtnge from $50 to
500. The water facilities are misera bIe
and this disadvantage is serious to such
an extent that numbers of farmers have
lett the country solely on account of il.
Drinking privileges sell from two to
four dollars per month, and irrigating
privileges frequently bring as high as
two dollars for twelve hours. House
rent Is high and ordinary tenements
command $25 per month. Fuel is
scarce and expensive Wood sells from
Yl2 to SIS per cord, coal ut 81 25 bushel.
The cost of living is prOportionately
high, and, to man OfmOderate means,
the returns from his labor are meaOeI.
and inadequate to his expenses. The
writer says that he has Travelled con-
stantly for the last fifteen years in
search of a better country than old Lin
coin, but he has despaired of finding it,
and he Intends to return here next fall
and settle down for life. He advises all
persons in this county, who feel inclin-
ed to seek homes in California and
other new countries, TO profit by his
experience and abandon the idea. This
Is sensible advice, and many of our
readers who contemplate a pilgrimage
to the Pacific coast, or the great West,
would do well to follow it.
