Music and Art at the Academy.


We think we may congratulate
the music-lOving people of Clarks-
Vile upon another important step
in advance towards the culture OF
that noble art. The musical depart
ment at the Academy has been
placed in the hands of a thoroughly
accomplished master of the art,
Prof. Meininger and his wife, who
is also a we'll qualified musician.
We hail with delight every effort
to elevate the musical taste of the
community, and such efforts have
been numerous of late. This last
one, we imagine, will be the most
efficient which has yet been made.
Mrs. McCauIey, widow of the late
r. McCauley, whose taste and skill
in decorative art is well known, has
also been added to the faculty and
will teach modelling in wax as
speciality.
President Plummer is indefatiga-
BILE in his purpose of placing the
Academy in the highest rank of
excellence in all departments, every
step upwards being made the means
of approaching still higher grade.
No man among us better deserves
the support and sympathy of the
community.

| We have this week to record the
loss of another belle from Clarks-
Vile. Miss Matte Beaumont
daughter of our esteemed fellow.
citizen, DIR. C. w. Beaumont, was
on Tuesday last married to Mr..
John w. Anderson, of Williamson
county, near Franklin.
The marriage was conducted more
after the manner we had been IA
miliar with in our youth than
according to present usages. 1t took
place early in the morning, and
afterwards the relatives and init
mate friends of the family accom-
panied the bridal party to DIR.
BeaumOnt's residence, where they
offered their congratulations to the
bride and bridegroom and partook
Of sumptuous breakfast provided
by the Doctors well known hospi-
tality. When we say that invita-
tons were confined TO the intimate
friends and relatives of the family,
it need not be understood that the
party was a small one. The Beau
mont family has the most extensive
connections of any in this city; in
deed, we know of hardly a person
of any consideration who was raised
in GAINESVILLE and is not in some
way connected with the BeaumOnts.
AS for their friends, their name is
legion. The party was rendered
delightful by the cordial welcome
of the host and hostess, and the so
cial freedom qualified, but not con-
strained by the cOurtly breeding on
the part of the guests. There was
plenty of time for all this. as though
the arrangements were for thebride
and bridegroom to leave by the $50
morning train, that train was four
hours late, and the young lady
fingered among her lifelong COM
paniOns and friends to the last mo-
ment.
Now, boys, we must have a deep
and deadly revenge; you will have
to make raid on Franklin, and
one of you bring home the prettiest
girl in that town captured bride.
Then the honor of GAINESVILLE is re-
deemed.

DIED.

HAYNES-Near this city, on July 10th, 1873
CALVIN LAFAYETTE HAYNES, Infant son
of j. e. and NJ. f. Haynes, of cholera In
fantum, aged about months.
His sufferings were great, but our blessed
Savior has called him home where suffering
is no more. W. L. b.
MILLS-At his residence, in this county,
July 9TH, 1873, n. J. MILLS, ESQ.,, in the
54th year OF his age.
He was born in Louisa county, Va, but
had been a citizen of Montgomery county,
Tenn, for twenty years or more, with the
exception of a few years spent In Trigg
county, KY.
He was known TO the writer as a school
mate, and up to the day of his death and no
purer, more honest and kind-hearted man
ever lived. AS sheriff of his native county,
and magistrate in his adopted one, he acted
his part faithfully and truly; as neighbor,
husband, father, no man was more devoted
ly loved.
He was quiet and reserved, but when he
spoke it was to the point, clearly and sensi-
bly,. He was known to but few, though
valued sincerely, and mourned in death
deeply by those who did know him.
To his dtsconsolate widow and little boy,
hs-<5ends would tender the most heartfelt
sympathy in their bereavement; but mere
words are empty comforters in their afiiic-
ton, and we can only commend them TO
the mercy and grace Of our common Father.
FRIEND.

rae Antioch ENTERTAINMENT.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Your reg
ular correspondent from No. II has
failed to keep you posted in the
actual occurrences of that most ex-
cellent neighborhood. He should
have mentioned the entertainment
given by the highly cultivated and
talented young ladies and young
gentlemen of the Antioch vicinity
on the evening of July 23d. 1t was
decided success in every respect,
aid reflected much credit upon the
fair and gallant participants.
The GAINESVILLE orchestra arrived
at O'Clock, and opened the enter
tainment with an overture, much
to the satisfaction of the large and
appreciative audience. Following
the overture were some excellent
charades, dialogues, and the finest
tableaux / ever beheld. One of the
prettiest presented during the even
ing was "Black Eyes and Blue" by
Misses Laura Lyle and Jennie
Reese. Mr.. Wesley Organ played
his part in "King of the Winds"
with becoming dignity. "Morning
and Night was beautifully repre-
scented by Misses Ida Ussery and
Matte Lyle; Miss Matte, as the
hopeful old maid and old grand
mother, was very dramatic. Misses
Lucy Ussery, Sallie Thompson and
Laura Lyle played their parts
charmingly. The most exciting
tableau of the evening was "Poca-
hontas saving the life of Captain
Smith," by Miss Matte Lyle, Wes-
ley Organ and Charlie Keesee.
The proceeds of the evening
amounted to $50, and pretty soon
Antioch Church will have a good
cistern, which will be great adj
vantage and 'labor-saving insti-
tution," as the spring is some dis
lance from the church.
The young ladies tender their
many thanks to the young gentle
men of the orchestra for their excel
lent music and service rendered
during the evening.
Truly yours, ATIMO.

Court House Designs.

We have made a critical examin-
alton of the court house plans which
Mr.. Mcdonald has brought with
him, and, so far as our judgment
may be accepted, pronounce them
admirable i'm both an asthetic and
economic point of view. These de-
signs are much the plainest we have
seen, and are yet imposing, through
the possession of that quality which
is the first condition of excellence in
all architecture, just proportion of
the masses. Without this, excess
of ornament is of no avail with it,
it is superf1uOus. Taking into con-
sideratiOn the financial condition of
the county and the requirements of
the County Court, the plans of Mr..
Mcdonald are well deserving of at
tentiOn, containing as they do every
thing for adaptation to the purposes
in view, and nothing for useless
show.

Jackson a. Ford.

We have many times had occasion
To call attention to the good quail
ties of Rit Jackson as plasterer,
and the people generally seem to be
of the same opinion, as we under
stand that nearly all the new build
ings now going up in the city will
be finished by him in concert with
his new partner, Mr.. Ford, from
Louisville. GAINESVILLE need not go
outside of her own limits for me-
chanics in any department, and
plasterers are not to be found any
where better qualified than the firm
whose name we have given above.

New DrmR Concern.

And not new either, for Sam
Stewart has longer been known in
the drug business than any other
man now engaged in it in Clarks-
vile. 1t is announced in another
column that Mr.. S. B. Stewart has
obtained possession Ofthe drug store
lately occupied by DIR. McCauley,
and is resolved to make first-class
establishment of it. From his ear
liest years Mr.. Stewart has had ex-
ceptional opportunities of acquiring
that acquaintance with scientific
manipulation which is an indispen-
sible accomplishment for a practical
apOthecary. He was long the as
sistant of his illustriOus father in
those scientific pursuits which are
historical, and in that way quail
fed himself for any occupation
where nicely of work is indispensa-
BILE. S. B. Stewart cannot fail to do
well in the drug business.
DIR. McCauley will now, we pre-
sumo, devote himself exclusively to
the duties Of his profession.

SumdFieS.

The late DIR. Green, minister of
extensive experience and close OBJ
servatiOn, was accustomed to say
that a Methodist who would not
pay his quarterage was almost sure
to fall out with his preacher, and
turn others against him if he could.
An old steward once remarked that
he considered no man as trustwor-
thy who would not meet this obi
CATION. A merchant, speaking of
some of his customers recently
whose promises were like pie crust,
made mention of the very individ-
uals whom the neighboring stew
ard could not prevail upon to pay
their church dues. Significant
The recent visit of Mr.. Morrison,
of the Louisville Conference, was
greatly enjoyed by his many friends,
and the sermon he preached at
Union School-House will long be
remembered as one of the clearest
and most fOrcible statements of Dir
vine truth as it relates to the "addi-
ton of the graces" that has greeted
our hearts for a long while. The
necessity of clean heart and holy
living was shown in a most satisfac-
tory and impressive manner. The
sermon laid the foundation of a
very profitable meeting which was
continued for several days at that
place.
I claim the honor of numbering
Mr.. Ed. Williams among the many
friends that I have found in this
charge. He has warm place in
his heart, as the following incident
will disclose. He dreamed that the
parsonage people were out of meat,
which so distressed him that he
awoke from his dream, and did not
rest satisfied until he had killed a
mutton and sent the preacher a
quarter. Who will be the next one
to dream?
The recent rains have caused great
rejoicing among the people. The
crops in this section were suffering
very much before they came.
Many of us are panied to see the
evil effects of bran-dances upon the
morals of the country. There seems
to be something so fascinating about
such places as to make members of
the Church violate the solemn vows
that are upon them. When Christ
ian people, so-called, willfully per-
iure themselves it is truly a bad
state of affairs.

early appearance of yellow fever in
New Orleans. Quarantine is estab-
lished at Memphis and Cairo and at
other points. We are probably be-
yOnd danger from yellow fever at
this point, but none the less should
careful hygienic measures be adopt
ed, as we have had summer pc
culiarly adapted to the generation
of malaria. COpious moisture and
great heat combined are certain
agents in producing this effect.

ON Thursday EVENING of last week

On Thursday evening of last week
the corner stone of the new
st. Johns Baptist Church (col-
ored), ON Main street, was laid.
There was quite a large crowd pres
ent, and short and appropriate
speeches were made by Judge Rice,
DIR. Lupton, Judge Tarver and Prof.
Dinwiddie. Rev. ]. III. Bell, the
pastor, deserves great credit for his
faithful work in procuring means to
build suitable house for his con-
gregation to worship in, and we
trust our people will aid him in the
good work.
