PuRDy, Tenn, Jan. =, 1876.
On Thursday before Christmas,
in company with my esteemed
friend, Rev. I. Cotton, worthy
citizen OF Purdy, dosirous of seeing
the country, started out on the old
Purdy road, for Lexington, Tenn
Leaving the city of Purdy in our
rear, we moved on with enthusiasm,
over hills and winding wales, en-.
gaging the while in pleasant con
verse, or joining voices in appro'
pirate songs, making the woods
r'ng aud the hills echo, to such as
'Thc wa, may be rough, hut II canno, he hong
SO Wen marrh along and sing lhr eonqucror'
sang"
The first remarkable object that
attracted our attention, was " Mt
Peter" Curiosity led us ascend to
its summit being provided with
sure footed steeds, We picked our
way up amid the rocks that lay in
broken masses, showing very plan
ly that this huge pile had once been
shaken TO it's centre, in the remote
ages. The view from this Mount
is perfectly sublime. Moving on
we came to u little neighborhood
ca,led "Sweet Lips.) Tho after.
noon being rainy, | can assure you
shat We wero rendered anything
but comfortable aud when late in
} tho evening, we sat by tho cheerful
hres'de OF the Miller family, and
longing TO remain, we were kindly
asked to partake Of their h h,spitali.

Senator must not hurt them too much,
but we would say to rear them little, by
the way. for they need it.
And we see they are kicking
up another fuss over at Philadelphia.
Well We 'spect its all right, for Gen.
tennisl don't come every day. Well go
ahead, but mus mt let Grant and Hcrooked
whisky" get in the muss, for if they do
they will spoil it sure. That's my idea
about the matter.
Query-We noticed not long since q
sale bill with ID. w. Smith, administra-
tor of James Z. Ramsey deceased. We
were astonished at first and could not
understand why it was, for we had not
heard of his death.
Answer-We learn that Mr.. Ramsey
took his revolver and went to the woods
TO kill himself The boys wanted "fun"
and you see they had it.
Later-We learn that the sale has
been postponed on account that he still.
lives.
The schools have principally all closed
this year in Barker district. As gen
eral thing, we think there has been gen.
eral satisfaction. Mr.. w. w. Teter is
getting up select school at Belington.
Mr.. I. is an experienced teacher and
good scholar. Any person wishing to
attenI school would do well to give him
a call.
The snow is still coming down, but |
think it will not stay with us long.

At Providence yesterday the rain fall
was four and half inches, and for six
