SPRING MHLLITEMS.

Rev. J. M. Jordan left last week 70
Fayetteville, the seat of the Tennessee
Con ference, that his amiable add ex
! cellent wife might have few days o
quiet enjoyment with her mother, be
tore the hustle of Conference began
| Mr.. Jordan leaves here with the respec
| and confidence of this community, ant
| although he may have given offense 4
times, by being rather too pointed ant
pc: sOnal in his preaching, and perhsp
| was sometimes indiscreet in bis denun
citation of classes and callings, yet al
| who know him well, will give him cred
| it Tor sincerity and honesty in all tina
ne said. Mr. Jordan is young in tn
| ministry, and it is therefore not remar
| k9ble that he should commit errors; but
he is hard student, and is making rap
| id improv ement, and bids fair to rank
in few years, with the foremost preach
ers of the Tennessee Conference.

CARRIERS CREEK
is credited in last weeks HERALD with
Capt. M. Campbell's extra fine corn.
1t is all right so far as Mack is cons
cerned. He is entitled to the credit OF
raising the finest corn in the good old
county of Maury, but Carter's Creek is
not to have the credit of Mack Camp
BELLS present farming, even if she did
raise him. He now owns and is far
ming on part of the Ewell farm, and is
reaping the benefits of Gen. Ewell's
practical good sense in managing, im~
proving and enriching these lands,
while others were impoYerishing their
lands, by hard and continuous cultiva-
ton in cotton. The extensive domain
of the late Mrs. Ewell, now owned by
Major Blown, Capt. Turner and Capt
Campbell, is one of the richest bodies
of land in the county.
Mrs. Jones has moved to her new house,
which she has made one OF the handso-
NEST and most desirable residences in
this neighbOrhood.
Mr.. N. B. Cheairs has had his house
beautifully painted, his trees trimmed

Of freshness, beauty, taste and ele-
gance.

stated TO the congregation that a propo~
sition had been made to unite Thomp>
son Station, with this place as Station,
aud desiring to haYe the sense of Spring
Hill Station in regard to the PROPOSE
ton, he put it to vote of those present,
and it was unanimously adopted.
Capt. Willie Caperton, of the Annsps
oils Naval Academy, is sojourning for a
short time with relatives in this place.
Mr.. Thos. G. Pointer and wife, from
Brentwood, are visiting their friends and |
relatives il this neighborhood. There |
are nine married couples in few miles |
OF Brentwood, around whose hearth |
stones the merry laughter of childhood |
is never heard. Bad place for schools, |
unless others are doing better.
Miss Annie Buford, of Giles, who has |
been visiting relatives here, has depar-
ted for her home, much to the regret of
The beaux of this vicinity.
