They are coming in large mum

They cannot find a more salu-
brious climate on earth than East
Tennessee.
Col. Doughty requested one
of his hanks to replant some
sweet potatoes hills. He receiv.
ed answer that he did not see any
use of trying to reset them as he
could not make q hole in one Of
them with a ten. penny nail. 1t.
must have been rather dry up
that way to says the least.
The Single Machine of
Mressrs. Fry & Nugent was put
into successful operation on
Tuesday. They are making very
fine shingles very cheap. We
hope the enterprise will receive
as much encouragement from our
people as possible. Every manu-
featuring enterprise Will be a
blessing to the whole people Of
tie community where located
and should receive the good
wishes of those who live within
a convenient distance from them.
Give their work a tial before
condemning.
There has been considerable
excitement in town last week,
over the report that VIM. Weems
bad been captured in Tompkens
vile KY. We are quite sure
that he has not been brought to
this place. 1tls a sort OF a canaid.
Since the above was written
the man supposed to be VIM.
Weems has been lodged in Jail.
He turns out to be the wrong
man, with littlo resemblance TO
Weems. He is not as large a
man, nor rs powerfully built. A
weak half crazed specimen Of
humanity.
We think the editor Of the
Protestant must have been very
much exercised over fortune tel
lers and Spiritualism, according
to the article in that paper last
week. 1t brings down the anathe.
mas of the Beast upon any who
dare to think of these things He
is more dogmaticin his denunci-
atm Than even the Church of
Rome against Professionals. He
talks like one who is even more
bigoted. He does not allow
that there is a possibility of truth
in the religious belief of others.
He says, "thus far must thou CO..
and no farther. in the investiga-
ton Of the truth or fallacy of the
tenets OF the religious faith of
Others. He not only took the
"bull by the horns but endeav.
ored to skin him before he was
killed. 1t is a good plan to make
haste slowly when you strike at
the religious doctrines o fotbers,
because you know not whose
toes you may trample upon.
-Messrs. s. G. Hanson and
M. R. Bair have been employed to
take charge Of a United Brethren
Seminary about putting into oper-
alton at Greeneville, Tennessee.
Prof. Hanson, a graduate from
West6eld College takes charge as
Principal of the Institution. Rev
M. R. Barr will &C ,upy the chair
Of Professor in the school, and
also spend some time in ministerial
worE at that place. Of the ability
of these two young men we need not
speak, to the majority OF our read
ers perhaps they are quite gener-
ally known as young men of strong
ana well grounded intellectual ard
moral abilities. Prof. Hanson is
a Scientific graduate Of the class
IA and is now o Senior in the
Classical Course. Rev. M. r.
Blair is q Classical graduate of
the class Of rs. In these two
are combined that mental and
moral ability and genial disposition
that will demand for them the sue.
cess they deserve. Miss. Minnie
Bartmess, who has taught instru-
mental music in the college, will
20 hither to give instructions 10
the musical department. That
Miss. Bortmess has shown herself
to be of first class ability we pre-
sume none would gainsay. She is
energetic and deserving Of the
best success, which We will expect
to hear. With these three Teachers
il would seem that GreeneviIle
Seminary ought to begin auspi-
cious history. They will not be-
gin work until fall. We hope to
hear Of their doing a successful
work in this new field.
