Miss Rosa Mallory spent this week

Miss Willie Dromgoole, of Muir

Mooney, in this city.
Mr.. Bass, young attorney from
Russellville, is attending conference,
"etc.," especially the latter.
Mr.. John Anderson and wife, nee
Miss Matte Beaumont, are visiting
relatives and friends in this city.
The conference is presided over
by Bishop Kavanaugh, who has the
model aldermanic proportions so
graphically described by j. w. F.
An anthem, composed for the
occasion, will be sung at the Metho-
dist Church tomorrow. The words
and music are by Prof. Meininger
of the Female Academy.
The sermon by Rev. Mr.. Whitton
Wednesday afternoon, is very high
ly spoken of by all who were for
tunate enough to hear it. He en-
phatically calculates his text.
Mr.. Sterling Neblett, one of the
proprietors of this papers, has been
seriously i'll for more than week.
He is now convalescent and will,
we hope, be visible in the CHROME
GLE office next week.
We regret to lose from our list of
fellow citizens Mr.. C. F. Nors-
worthy, who has transferred his
business to Henderson, Ky. He
carries with him the good wishes of
a large circle of friends and of the
community in general.
DIR. Young, now doing the writ
ing for the Methodist conference in
session here, has been the chronic
Secretary of the Tennessee Confer
ence for years, and is the model |
scribe. The doctor stands as high |
as any other man in conference. |
He is something less than eight feet.
Among the delegates at the Meth
nrlSCf (tAT1 fnrny1nn CncGin11
here is the Rev. A. G.. Dinwiddie, |
from Pulaski, Tenn. He is brother
of Mrs. Thos. Herndon and is stay
ing at her residence. His health |
since he has been here has not been |
such as to enable him to take an
active part in the Conference.
Neill Larkin, a pupil in photo
graphy of Mr.. McCormac, has ac-
cepted an offer from Johnstown,
Pennsylvania, to practice his beau
tiful art there. Neill has our good |
wishes wherever he goes he is an
accomplished artist and a clever
gentleman, only when the time
comes for him to choose a help-meet |
he must come back here. He must |
not marry away from GAINESVILLE.
AT the conference we had the
pleasure of shaking hands with our
old friend, the Rev. J. B. West,
who is always a welcome visitor to
GAINESVILLE. We still live in hope
of his again becoming a resident
among us. The same day we were
enabled to offer our congratulations
to his son, J. J. West, ESQ, and his
beautiful bride who have returned
from their wedding trip and settled
down to a spell of matrimonial hap
piness in GAINESVILLE. John you
are a lucky boy!
J. G. Joseph has returned from
Europe looking much improved by
his trip, with a festive cOuntenance
and his pocket full of coins of all
nations. He has got new stock,
partly from Europe, and has ar
ranged it attractively in his new
store, and every one will visit him
whether they buy or not. 1t is
worth the price of new coat to get
a view of J. Cps jolly physiognomy
and hear him tell his experience in
the great exposition. We have to
thank him for the gift of a beauti-
fully carved ivory paper knife.
Cooke and Hendricks are array
ing the shelves of their new store
with a splendid array of porcelain,
china, majOlica, faience and other
marvels of ceremic art. They have
provided for the modern taste which
has returned to the china ware for
for which our great grandmothers
competed so eagerly, and many of
his ornaments would well grace the
saloons of titled leaders in the days
of Queen Anne, the Melissas and
Sacharissas of the Spectator. The
ladies will not need our persuasion
to pay him visit.
