Logan do now Writ is her "man, !" and
he parts his hair in the middle. Where
will she find his parallel ?-Kn0rCstlc 1Tt-

g his PARALLEL we'd have more hope as
it is, the Tribune commission had better
search at the Hot Springs.
A Kansas emigrant on the Nash
vile and Chattanooga train recently,
near Stevenson, attempted suicide by
shooting himself in the head with PTS
toll. He was left at Stevenson, where

The Directors of the Lockout Bank
of Morristown held their second annual
meeting last Friday. The reports OF the
officers showed that the business OF the
institution had been safely and satlsf ac-
torily managed, and was in prosperous
and healthy condition. Owing 10 the
laborious nature of his other duties,
Mai. John Murphey rendered his resig-
nation as Cashier. The resignation was
accented. and the Board elected Dr. G.
II. Magee. Cashier and Maj. John Muir
phey President. The Office of the Bank
will be found at DR.. Magee's Drug store.
1t was happy coincidence, ap-
pPopos of the joyous occasion, that Ell
der Pence, leader of the choir, last Sun
day morning should have selected as the
preliminary anthem for the morning SER
vices the beautiful hymn commencing,
Hallelujah it is done ~ His voice,
always of accord with melody, seemed to
compass such lines as !" Happy day that
fixed my choice" and g Day of all the
week the best, 2" with an emphasis of an
gelic earnestness never before equalled.
Its effect upon the audience was pleas
Ingly electrical.
= Mr.. Speaker Kerr, on the list inst,
returned his profound thanks to the
House of Representatives for its kind
ness and courtesy in giving him the pri-
vilege of naming the Speaker pro tenn.
for period of ten days, and announced
that Mr.. S. s. Cox would preside during
his absence on account of illness. Mr..
Kerr is in declining health, and Mr.. Cox
will probably be his continuous success
sor, as it is doubtful whether he returns
permanently to the chair until the close
of the session.
In the proceedings of the Methodist
General Conference, Baltimore, Friday
last, the report of the fraternal delega-

for the speedy coming of the time when
our intercourse with this Church shall
be utterly free from uncharitable strife
when the love of Him who died for us,
working nightly in all our hearts, shall
prove the solvent of all our misunder-
standings; when, as the offspring of a
common Methodist parentage, we shall
bend all our energies in cOncordant eff
fort to conquer the world for Christ"

- For the credit of our town we are
Ishamed to state that a very mean and
ascally outrage was perpetrated a few
lights ago upon the garden of Mr..
Peter Doussot, quiet, Industrious and
much esteemed old gentleman of this
Tillage. Many of his early vegetables
we're pulled up, his shrubbery damaag-
d, and other petty meannesses commit
ed, more despicable in the rascals than
INJURIOUS to Mr.. Doussot. The coward
Y and malicious perpetrators of the
utrage may find themselves answering
or their conduct before Judge Randolph
t his next term. Although Mr.. Doussot
J too old and feeble to give the matter
ne attention it merits, he is not without
arm friends who are determined the
utrage shall not go UNPUBLISHED.
