It pleases us to be able to state that the
 promoters of the Prescott Literary As sociation" have good reason to hope that they will, shortly, have it in their power to purchase lot and erect good brick building thereon, for the use of the public at large. This hope arises from the fact that leading business men and property owners here have promised to subscribe. literally, for the accomplishment of so good purpose. Rev. J. F. Merrill and Capt. Roys, worthy members of the association, are laboring hard for the ac- complishment of the object above spoken of and we most sincerely hope to hear of their entire success in very short time. Knowing, full we'll, that every in- telligent citizen of Prescott and the coun- try round, understand the great benefit an institution of this kind would confer upon them all, we will not now enter into any relation thereof, and will close. by requesting our people to help this good cause to the extent of their ability.

very characteristic anecdote is told of
him by gentleman who resides at
Shelbyville. After establishing and
conducting a hotel at that place for a
short time, Mr.. Young returned to
Nashville, taking charge, this time,
of the Verandah Hotel, which is now
the Commercial. Soon afterwards
the gentleman in question came to
Nashville, and, Of course, put up at
the Verandah. Before retiring, he
went to Mr.. Yourg and asked him
what his bill would be. "Why," re-
