Mr.. Myers, Of TIE Hetald, is of on
an eastern trip.
An INTERESTING revival is in pre-
Sress at the Methodist Church in
Humboldt.
The publishers of the Humboldt
Herald advertise for some lost rail
road tickets.
Mr.. Newton Barnett, aged aboHt
sixty years, died near Humboldt on
the 18th inst.
The Cumberland Presbyterians
have an interesting meeting in pro-
gress at Friendship, four miles east
of Milan.
The Changers at Zion will give
public dinner on Saturday, the 4th
of September, when DIR. Maxwell
will deliver an address.
We neglected to state last week
that Mrs Sterling JchHSon, who lives
/ five miles southeast of town. sent us
the largest pod of red pepper we ever
saw. 1t was about the size of a mans
fist.
The journal reads Humboldt a
sensible lecture Oh the Importance of
pulling together" id building up
that town, and gives dead-beats and
croakers some hard licks. Keep
stirring 'em up. That's what all our
towns need. When we begin to
work together we will begin to pros

In a radius of about five miles of
Milan there have been threshed
43, 100 bushels of whsts4 this season.
At this rate, the county has pro-
duced about 100000 bushels. Our
Milan merchants and millers will
probably handle 100000 bushels,
which will bring about $4,000 to
this place. Not so bad, after ak

Editor Exchange:
9 Continued absence from horne for
the fortnight last past has prevented
me from collecting "local iteEAs" of |
much interest. The
HEALTH
Of this community is not as good |
as it was some weeks past. Our
physicians are now busy attending |
the sick, convalescent and dying. |
While we are blessed with health,
our neighbors around us-especially !
those near the river bottoms-,tre |
suffering considerably. \ man who
settles himself in proximity to the
malarial bottoms of West Tennessee
rivers, may expect-at about this
time of year-an introduction to the
twin sisters-congestioH and tevGr.
With sorrow we lave been called APP
on to observe something of the work
ings Of
since our last letter to the EXCHANGE.
Mr.. B. f. Marshall died at his resi-
dence three miles east from town
yesterday morning. The deceased
was an old citizen of the vicinity in
which he lived His sickness was
brief and his death lamented
Rev. X. S. Stewart, Young
minister q considerable promise i'll
the Methodist Church, departed this
life at his fathers residence near
Rutherford Station on the 81 inst
Among his last words were, &c A'h
Just going home" Thank God for
such grace in a dying hour. The
large csht3urse Of people that atten-
ded his funeral, with the many tears
that were shed on that solemn Occ,l-
sion, all bespoke1He high estimation
that was placed upon his moral and
religious character. He has entered
our Masters "Sanctum Sanctorum."
So mote it be.
neutrality-suspicious.,
so>calIed, are being held throughout
this country. Efforts are being made
by the church to ccall sinners to re-
pentence in almost every neighbor-
hood. Some success attends these
efforts. A successful meeting was
held last week at Boyett's Chapel
{ Methodist on the Kenton aircpit.
Seventeen or more were hopefully
converted and considerable addition
made to the membership of the
church. The Rev. Mr.. Bailey, of
the Baptist Church, is now holding a
series of meetings in the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church in this place.
Some interest is manifested upon the
part of the church.and also upon the
part Of non-professors of religion. Our
town, like imost railroad towns,
needs a revival of religion. VIII
