1t is probable the Kings will play the
Greenevflle boys here next Saturday

- Prof. G. A. Birchard, phrenologist,
is now in our town, stopping for a few
days at Mrs. M. NJ. Stewards, where he
is prepared to examine the heads of those
of our citizehs who may desire to Ia We
the aid of his skill in acquiringa knowl-
edge of themselves. We copy the fol-
lowing notice of Prof. Birchard from the
Alexandria, Va, Sentinel, of November
10, 1874: The Professor is highly re-
commended by gentlemen of the highest
respectability and learning. We have
submitted our own Uranium to his mani
he is certain diviner of the thoughts
and capabilities of the human mind,
through the agency of his art. He does
not only tell that, but his instruction as
to the proper regimen and hygienic
treatment of each case is highly valua-
BILE. Though if he is of special service
to the young in advising them what Sc
lectiOns 20 make of partners for life.
Indeed, the pleasure and advantages of
the information given by him is largely
in excess of the moderate fee he charges
for an examination, and we can promise
those who consult him that they will ba
more than satisfied"
The picnic last Saturday, given by
Merristown Lodge, No. 234, 1. o. G. T.,
was, we learn, a very successful and en-
joyable affair. The procession formed
at the hall, dressed in handsome regalia,
with their banners held aloft, and march
ed down Main street to the Buncombe
railroad, thence out to beautiful grove
in the vicinity of Cold Spring. Here
the ladies and gentlemen and little girls
and boys disposed of themselves as was
most suitable to their tastes. The re-
freshments prepared for the occasion are
spoken of by those who were so FORUM
ate as to be present as elegant and album
dant, so that all the invited guests pre-
sent had their appetites fully satisfied,
and contributed to the enjoyment of
others. Judge L. G. Houk, of Knox
vile, was present by invitation, as ora
tor on the occasion, and we are inform
ed delivered extemporaneously one of
his beautiful and appropriate temperance
addresses, which won many plaudits
from those who heard it. Altogether,
the picnic is represented as a much en-
joyed festival, and we hope will be pro-
ductive of much good to the great tenn
perance cause in our immediate vicinity.
1t is with unfeigned sorrow that we
record the death of Rev. D. B. Carter,
one of the oldest and most esteemed
members of the Holston Conference of
the NJ e. Church, South. He was, at
the time of his death, in the 74th year
of his age, and the 5Oth of his ministry.
This good man, after lingering for sew
eral months with heart disease, closed |
his long and useful life in great peace,
at his residence in this vicinity, on the
morning of the 7th instant. A large |
concourse of friends and acquaintances
met at Liberty Hill Church, on the af-
ternoon of the 8th, where he was inter- I
red by the members of Morristown Lodge /
No. 234, I. o. G.. T., of which he was q
devoted and honorable member. He |
was placed by the side of Rev, j. M. |
