Duncan who is assisting in the re
vival at Elkton, says:
l am in four miles of Elkmont
Springs, where many seek the elixir
of life, but much nearer where from

Weakley is being blessed with one
of greatest outpourings Of the Spirit
that Elkton has enjoyed. for year.
Why, sir, the brightness of Gods

The Island Barbecue.

At II o'clock to-day there were
gathered on the Island above the
Pulaski depot as joyous and happy
crowd as met anywhere in the
universal world or any other coun
try to celebrate the glorious Fourth.
Lawyers. doctors, merchants, farm
ers, mechanics, their wives and wee
ones were all on hand with that
prince of clever men and good feed
ers Mr.. Greed Tlippin at the bat,
aided by Lieuts. Dinken and Pleas.
Smith, whose laugh woald have
aroused the feathers of a blind
chicken. At other places there
flags, more big men and big speak
ers, but for a regular free and easy
time, good eating, warm hearted
ness, splendid music and glorious
dancing, give US now AID always
Uncle Creed's 4th.
At II o'clock sharp the voice of
the Captain sang out a call to din
ner, and such rich, juicy barbecued
meat, good bread and delicious
dainties as never were seen-Well,
hardly ever. "The proof of the
pudding is the eating" Well, the
pudding must have been such as the
eaters never saw. A poet once
said that it was 8 matter of wonder
that one little head could contain
all the hero knew. 1t was and win
be thing of still greater astonish-
ment where J. A. r. and w. n. hid
all the sheep, chicken, potatoes,
pies, bread and cake that passed
Into their mouths. The Lieutenant
stood off in blank amazement and
exclaimed, "did you everF to which
all the little boys in dreadful state
of fear declared, "never." But for
the timely arrival of the train there
would now be deep mourning around
the express Office. Capt. j. r. G.
had to rest and begin again and
Drs. @. and +. @. mourned over
their extreme thinness. The law
yer did his best but his last assault
upon a pigs head was too much
and he had TO surrender the fort.
ESQ. j. r. b. looked like he had
taken at least four yeast cakes. /.
L. 5. ate till the hair began to grow
on his head. One lady left soon
after dinner saying she had sIr en-
gagement. but not one of those
who saw her eat believed word Of

it. When everybody was done w.
r. c. came up and called for a
shoat. He got it and the way he
did go for it made the Lieut.. and
DIR. +. G. roll over an acre and a
half of the finest blue grass in the
county. But it is a long lane that
has no turning, so the eating was
over at last and Pitman's Band gave
some most exquisite pieces, wind
ing up with an overture which was
so sweet that even DR.. G. felt better
and said, ego it, fellers."
After the music some very feeling
remarks were made by Messrs. Ew-
ing, Newbill, Grove, Gilmore, Pear
cy and Morris. After the last
speech and somebody else was
called for, the Capt. said, ''No, we
have had enough of chin music"
and he wanted some heel shaking in
which the ladies could take a cou-
pie of feet. The boys said good,
and the matrons and maidens de-
clared they were willing. So at it
we went TO the music of Anthony's
string band for three hours.
"Oh, there was life in the heel
And music in the air."
Something was said about the
church folks dancing, but a com
mittee of inquiry unanimously re
ported that as it was upon neither
land nor water there was no iuris-
diction. Never did a general keep
his troops in line better than the
Captain did the dancers, and so
soon as one fell falnting another
came in fresh for the fun. The old
and young were amazed at the way
old man Us feet flew in the air
In keeping time with the music. A
Timber jack would have been asham-
ed of itself. He said that twenty
five years ago he could do a little
something in the way of dancing,
but he was mighty stiff now, and
then he told how things used to be
done in the lang syne when Mr.. Nc
Callum, Gov. Brown, Judge Jones,
the Captain, Lieutenant and he
were young. If he was old to-day
nobody found it out.
At little past four the Captain
thanks were returned for the pres
ence and help of the ladies, the
good music and good behavior.
Not the slightest jar occurred, and
everybody of the two hundred pres
ent went away feeling, as the Lieu
tenant says, glad they had lived to
see another Fourth. When Bellvue
undertakes to get up good thing
with the Captain at the lead just
pass your tickets around this way.

Pitman's band, accompanied by q
large concourse of citizens, sere-
naded Gov. Brown Saturday night.
They were invited into the parlors,
where refreshments were profusely
dispensed with an elegant hospital
ity which finds perfect embodiment
in the natures of our much-loved
and famous fellow-citizen and his
brilliantly accomplished lady. Our
people delight to love and honor
Gov. Brown, not because of his
wide spread fame, but for the same
reasons that induced that fame
his nobleness as a man, his great
ness as a statesman, his deep learn
ing in the law, and his many excel
lencies of head and heart which
have found expression IN deeds OF
valor and greatness, and stamped
him as a prince among natures no.
blemen. Long live Jno. G. Brown

A trio OF young gents went
calling on East Hill Sunday after
noon and just as they seated them
selves in the parlor one of them
looked out and saw a COW in the
yard. He thought they had left the
gate open, and they all ran out bare
headed and chased the COW up and
down the yard and through the
rose bushes until their collars flap
ped over like boiled cabbage leaves
and they were as hot as spectators
at a base ball match, but the cow
swept majestically by the gate every
time and gave them another chase
around the yard. When they were
completely wilted, one of them
climed a tree to see if he couldn't
cuss her out, but just then the
young lady came to the front door
and said: "Those beautiful COW
belongeth in here" The boys
wiped their faces on the fence and
sneaked land one of them said that
they knew she was at home, and they
were just trying her speed. The
cow went behind the house and lay
down and laughed long and loud at
the joke she had played on the boys.
When they got down town one of
them Arose Andrews everal long
breaths and swore he'd never go up
A. Hill again. Blank applications

lum for sale at this office.

7 AIDES fine Shoes a speciality at
IL the NEW YORK STORE.

The Glorious Fourth was cele-
brated immensely hereabouts. Two
barbecues were given which we
failed to get upon our program last
week-one at Gov. Browns cave
spring on his Pond Hill farm, and
the other in the creek bottom. La
dies attended both, and they had q
dance at the latter, and both were
hugely enjoyed, to the great honor
and glory of the Nation, but some
what against the peace and dignity
of the Murphy evolution. The
more the boys thought about the
Glorious Fourth, the more they cele-
brated; and the more they celebra-
ted, the more the Florious Gourth
doomed; and the more the FOrious
Lourth Gloomed, the more the boys
cellubricated; until the Goddess of
Liberty got tired of the shrieks
of the Proud Bird of Freedom
and amended it's constitution by
twisting its head off, and Brother
Jonathan seeded from the lamp
post to which he held for support
and beat King George over the
head with his Grandfather's Clock
until he consented to set up the
Tea for the crowd. And there were
picked up of fragments of loyalty
seven basketfuls and small guam
tity in Jug.

for their souls. Their eyes fill, and
mine, too. Already 90 have been
added to the army of the Lord, and
greater results are prayed for. II
occurred on this wise. Bro. Weak
ley has his pastoral charge "by

he has them on his heart as the

The young men have the little
negroes well trained. They will
not deliver the answer to a note to
any one except the one who sent it.
The other day this training caused
a little inconvenience. A young
gent wished to take ride with an
East Hill visiting beauty at 6 o'clock
that Afternoon, and being busy he
got another young man to write the
note and send it for him. The boy
took it, got an answer and returned,
but in the meantime the one who
wrote it had gone to the country.
The boy of course could not find
the writer and he kept the answer
until next morning and delivered it
to the sender. The young lady
had accepted and sat dressed ana
waiting until dark, and then got as
mad as her sweetness would permit
because the gent did not drive up.
On the other side, the young gent
had no particular sweetness to
keep him from getting as mad as a
bumble-bee with boy after 1t, and
he raved around town like a wild
steer in a strange pen because she
didn't answer, his wrath waxing
hotter until the thermometers
around town ran up to the bursting
point. He fumed and fried all
night and next morning saw how 1t
occurred. Explanations followed,
choler subsidized, and that evening
he was so pleasant and cool that
Mr.. Gross tried to hire him to
freeze his cream with his smiles,
and he took the ride at last. The
little negroes remains were dragged
out to the boneyard next morning,
after his spirit had been priced out
at his left ear with q rail.

At the Cave SpriRg barbecue on
Gov. Browns place on the 4th, af-
ter an exquisite dinner prepared by
Messrs. 10 Flippin, Bob Madden,
]. Mel Patteson ct al-which was
greatly relished by those present,
the Declaration of Independence
was read by Hon. Noble Smithson,
and short speeches were made by
Col. Taliaferro, Judge Tinnon, Col.
Rose and others. The most anus
ing incident of the day was the eat
ing match between Lypnville and
Pulaski for the championship of
Tennessee. Lynnville was repre-
scented by Capt. Bob. Mitchell and
Pulaski by Capt. j. l.. Hill. The
former was the favorite at the start
by great odds, selling in the pools
at least two to one. Both eaters
had made reputation however IN
other contests, and both had strong
backing. On The first quarter (of
mutton) Lynnville kept the lead
throughout, and on the second
showed no signs of weakening.
In fact when the third quarter
was commenced it was thought
by many that Pulaski would
be distanced easily, but about
the close of the third Lynnville
showed signs of distress and began
to weaken, while Pulaski seemed
Just to be warming up to the work
in hand. On the fourth quarter
they ran neck and neck for a time.
but ere the close Lynnville let
down completely, while Pulaski
was yet fresh and hungry, and call
ing for another sheen.
