and human ingenuity epitomized at
the tune of only fifty cents day, with
incidentRls which need not be coun-
ted up. Archie is improved, but that
is just what he went for. Little Hen.
~ Doriot was quite i'll last week, but
is out again,
The new Methodist church is about
ready for the Tafters, and will be the
comliest, az it is the largest in this sec
ton, Its size is forty-seven by ninety
seven, and the design is quite elegant.
The front entrance will be by a flight
steps into the vestibule, the door being
of the gothic shape to match the WIN
dows. At the rear there will be pri-
vate entrance for the minister and the
young ladies and teachers of Sullins
College. Take note thereof we men of
only 20 years, and pass you in at the
front Under the main floor is the
room for Sabbath School and Church
meetings, extending as far back as the
centre of the building, perhaps farther,
and in rear thereof are three nice
rooms for ministers studio and other
necessities which the large congrega-
ton will require. The brick work is
decidedly creditable to Mr.. VIM, M.
Smith, and as far as completed Messrs.
Hamilton and Berry have done most
excellent carpenters work.
The new Second Presby terrain church
has the weather boarding nearly COM
pete, and is being painted by Mr..
Tally as rapidly as it is finished. Not
a day does the autumn sun have to
open the joints. The kindred colors
look decidedly well, and l incline to
think Tally will have feather i'm his
cap from this very job. Mr.. Fillinger
Is doing a capital piece of work and
the church is going to be perfect
gem,
j. n. Galliher has built large strue-
ture on Water street exactly in front
of Sycamore street. He designs rent
ing it as factory of some sort. Mr..
VIM. Carmack has made character by
the work. 1t is built perfectly true,
and is one of the best frames | ever
saw.
Mr.. Frost is building business
front to the Melvin property on Main
street. Mr.. Kessner is the carpenter,
and is doing good work, though it is
not far enough advanced for thorough
inspection.
MIR. NJ. Il. Devault's cottage on
James street is very neat one, but 1
don't know who does the work.
Messrs. Smith & Chapman are turn
ing out quite lot of handsome monu-
ments and tombstOnes. l see monu-
ment for Judge Gillenwaters which
will be very imposing. A monument
heGdstone for Mrs. McGavock, of
Wythe, is a most beautiful and skill
fully carved one. Better work is not
done in America, and their prices are
one-third cheaper than those of Balti-
more or any other eastern cities with
which | am at all posted.
Peaches, large and sunny-cheeked
ones, drum the streets for some pur-
chaser who can appreciate them. Exit
water-melons. They are cheap aud
will soon cease to cumber the ware
house floors. Sweet potatoes are
abundant at rs cents.
The venerable mother of Prof. G.
b. and VIM. Smith died last Thurs
day. Aged 70.
Mr.. J. w. Rogan has gone north for
goods. Mr.. Johnson Farris, the popu-
lar merchant, late of Wallace s Switch,
is attending to his business.
Esq. r.. p. Tickle has been elected
Presiding Justice of Sullivan county
Court.
Our live furniture man on Fourth
street, Mr.. w. l.. Richardson, has
been confined to his room for several
days with severe attack OF bronchitis.
