JAMES w. RICE, Esq, of the firm of
Brandon & Rice, Attorneys at Law,
Dover, Tenn, was in town the first of
the week engaged in taking deposit
tons. He comes of good stock and
impressed us favorably as being an in
telligent and well-read gentleman. In
anti bellum days we knew the elder
Rice, a prieur cheUalier, sans peur sans
reprOche who has SO worthily worn the
judicial ermine for q number of years
in our sister State, and who now occa-
sionally lays it aside, always unstained,
however, to don the sacerdotal robes
and minister in holy things. Judge
and preacher-well, that is getting
things little mixed, but whether as
Judge or as minister of righteousness,
he is not excelled in sterling qualities
of head or heart by any gentleman in
Tennessee.-Cddiz Democrat.

plain if you don't understand it.
What makes Harper's Weekly go off
so much like hot cakes? You say it is
on account of Nast's fine pictures, /
suppose. That's right; you guessed
we'll. Mast is genius in his line, you
know. Genius is worth more than
gold. What makes the New York
Herald such popular paper? Why
it is because Nordhorff writes for it.
You are right. Now, 1 reckon you
understand how I've paid you. But
you say Mast and Nordhorff dom write
for US. Yes, but the ar-famed poet of
Southside does. And didn't / secure
his poetical genius for your paper ?
Didn't ask him to write poetry, and
didn't he publish it in your paper?
Poetry! yes poetry. They tell me there

ON Thursday of last week we spent
several hours in the ancient town OF
Palmyra. It is not now the Palmyra
it was before the war. In 1863 the
federals sacked and burned the town
for no other ofFense than that some of
their transports had been fred into
from this point by company of Con-
federates under Col. Woodward. They
burned every dwelling and storehouse,
not even sparing the Church and Ma
sonic hall. Since that time three or
four stores and several dwellings have
been bailt there, but it will be a
long time before it will regain its for
mer size.
Twice in the history of this old town
has it narrowly escaped distinction.
In selecting the capital of the State,
Palmyra only missed being chosen by
one vote, and again in locating the
county seat of Montgomery county,
only one vote was lacking to make her
the seat of the county government.

TIE Katie Putnam Comedy Compa-
ny were here this week, appearing in
"Old Curiosity Shop" on Monday night
and Jane Eyre" Tuesday night, to
large audiences. Miss Katie has the
reputation here of being the best ac-
tress who has visited GAINESVILLE since
the war, and this reputation was well
sustained during her last visit. As
Little Nell'' and the 'Marehioness"
in "Old Curiosity Shop" she has no
superior, and her rendition of Jane
Eyre" was most excellent. The sup
port, with one or two exceptions, is
very good, and this company will al
ways be heartily welcomed and well
patronized here. We hope that Miss
Katie will hereafter favor us with at
least one visit during each season.

STREETS MONTHLY, literary paper
published at Waco, Texas, has the fol-
lowing complimentary notice of Rev. S.
P. Wright, formerly of this place:
1.-THE college is the property of the
Northwest Texas Conference, M. E.
Church South, and is under its patron
age and general supervision. Rev.
Samuel P. Wright, A. NJ, is the Pres
ident of the institution, assisted by a
corps of six able and experienced
teachers, besides two music teachers.
The course of instruction is thorough
and complete. Mr.. Wright enjoys an
enviable character as teacher; knowing
him as we do we believe we hazard
nothing in saying that as teacher of
girls he has not his superior in the
State. We especially commend him to
the patronage of the Methodists of
Texas. There is no need to send your
daughters from the State to foreign
schools when you can find just as good
at home"

TURNPIKEs.-We learn from parties
living on the road between here and
Lafayette, KY, that the citizens along
the road and in that town are very
anxious for a turnpike between the two
places. They think that all those liv-
ing on the line of the road would SUBJ
scribe literally, and that if GAINESVILLE
would take the interest in the matter
which she should the road could easily
be built. There is no doubt this turn
pike would be of great benefit to our
city, and we hope it may be built. ln-
deed we hope to see The day when there
will be good turnpike roads running in
every direction from our city.

OBITUARY.

WILLIAM NOTEWORTHY was born in Var
rem county, North Carolina, in 1901, re-
moved to Tennessee in 1872 was married
to Susanna Williams, Jan. 20, 1924, and died
Oct.9, 1875,
A touching paragraph from one of his
bereaved nieces in a letter to me is justly
entitled to place in this memoir. He was
a resident of this county for nearly two
score years. and had by his many virtues
won host of true friends who deeply re-
greet that his furrowed brow, and gray locks
will be seen no more in their midst. But
thank God for the blessed hope of meeting
him again at the right hand of God, in the
city of the blessed. Marvel not that l say
he is in heaven. Though he had many
faults, which do not attempt to veil, still
the blood of Jesus cleanSeth from all sin.
He deeply regretted the one great mistake
of his life in not becoming christian in
early manhood, and giving his heart and
influence to God. For several months pre-
vious to his death he sought diligently the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness, by
humble faith and prayer. And we stead
lastly believe that when the messenger
came it found him ready to enter the por-
tails of death. To this Ineed only add that
Mr.. Noteworthy was a generous and noble
hearted man. Dying childless he left his
handsome estate to a highly appreciative
sister and her family, showing that he did
not forget in death the objects of his solicit
tude and love.

with stone facings, with lecture-room
In basement. 1t will have two towers,
and will front on Main street, with an
entrance through the tower on Third

hundred, and audience-room will be
