Nashville Banner: An apple orchs
ard of nearly two hundred trees at
Fodder Stock, in Wilson county, on
the L. & P. r. R., has been in full
bloom for the past two or three weeks.
The recent frost will prevent second

Memphis Appeal: Ex-Attorney-
General l.. B. Horrigan, after much
persuasion on the part of Governor
Marks, has accepted the position of
Judge of the criminal court of Mem
phis, and was commissioned and sworn

jackson Tribune and Sun: Last
night about 7 o'clock Haywood Gale
walked into the Bright House, placed
a pistol about the middle of Knox's
left side and without a work of warn
ing fired. The ball lodged against
Knox's spine and his wound is consid>
cred very dangerous. From all that
can be heard, at present, the two had
a difficulty'the night before but separ
ated without coming to blows. The
assault last night was cowardly in the
extremeand exhibited, besides, premed
itation and malice. Gale made good
his escape. He is a chunky, black
negro, without beard, and weighs
about 140 pounds.
The last issue of the Western Meth
odist contained the following. We
wish DIR. johnson great success in his
new field oflabor. He deserves it.
1t is proposed to remove the Office
of the Western Methodist to the city
of Little Rock-its publication to be
transferred to that city as soon as pos
sible after the session of the patronizing
Conferences, which meet during the
month of November and December.
The consent of the patronizing Con-
ferences is the only condition prece>
dent to removal; and by correspon-
dence with large number OF the
members, it has been ascertained that
they are wellnigh unanimous in the
opinion that removal is necessary to
the success of the paper, and will con-
tribute to its permanence and prosper
ity. To make a fair and full canvass
for the paper in November and De
cember-the time when the largeet
part of canvassing is done for newspa-
pers generally-it is important that
the proposed removal should be an
nounced at this time. The Western
Methodist will retain its old character
and relations, and will be improved
in every respect as far as possible.
The price of a years subscription, as
heretofore, will be S2-the subscrip-
ton to be dated from the beginning
of 1880, and the issue for 1879, after
subscribers name is received, TO be
mailed free of charge. Surely this is
cheap enough for large eight-page
weekly, as ours will be thereafter. For
the present, subscriptions and remit
tances should be sent to the Editor
and Publisher at Nashville, or at the
seat of the several patronizing Confer
ences.
