When our exchange reporter strikes
Il patent outside or inside journal, it
generally takes a whirl to the floor,
but when he handles an honest, solid
printed weekly from the country, he
scans it closely in search oflocal news.
Memphis Appeal.
All of which goes to prove that the
Appeal exchange reporter is a goose,
for the papers printed on the co-opera-
tion plan are well known to be larger
and fuller of news than those printed
all at home. If the Appeal would
clip more freely from the country press,
its columns would be much better filled
than they are.

On Friday night last Mrs. Frank
McAdoo, wife of B. NJ. McAdoo, died
at her residence about four miles from
town.
The dwelling of Mr.. r. 6. Harris,
situated about three miles east Of
town, together with nearly all the
furniture it contained, was consumed
by FIRE last Sunday night.
Our friends in the vicinity of Hol-
low Rock, who recently invested soI
heavily in the Funnel Clothes WASH
er, have been considerably exercised
over the discovery of an act of the
legislature requiring all agents for
patent rights, selling to consumers, to
take out privilege tax. AS a matter
of course the washing machine men
don't want to pay this tax if they can
get around it, and as consequence
lawyers have been appealed to.
As We will have no more frosts
likely to do any material damage to
vegetation, we feel that we may now
venture upon an opinion in regard to
the coming crop of fruit. We have
been at some little trouble to converse
with citizens from different portions of
the county, and ascertain, if possible,
just how much the fruit in their Sec
ton was damaged by the cold wealth
er. AS the result of our investiga-
tions we are enabled to inform our
readers that more peaches will be
raised than has all along been ahtici-
pated; the apple crop will be large, and
the Weld of small fruits about as usual.

A Minister Requested to Recant.

Nashville American
The journal which represents the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church in
this city devotes certain amount of
space to what it terms a remarkable dis
course by the Rev. DIR. Kelley, pastor
of the Mckendree Methodist Episco-
pal Church. 1t starts out with the
query, "Ifth foundation be destroyed
what can the righteous do?" and con-
cludes with vatican bolt of ecclesias-
tical thunder, mildly launched-"We
hope, therefore, for his own good
name, and for the sake of his church,
and the common hope of the Christian
world, that he will embrace the ear
liest opportunity to retrace his mis-
taken steps and return to the old
paths" There is an excellent oppor-
tunity offered DR.. Kelley to get back
into line, where all will be well with
him. DR.. kelley's otfense consisted
in declaration that the common no.
ton concerning the resurrection is not
the true one. He declared that mans
existence in the spiritual world does
not depend'upon the resurrection of the
physical body, and he also denied that
the last great day, the last judgment,
is to be a universal assem- bling of all
men to receive the final doom, but as
serted that judgment will come to
every man, the books being opened all
along through every mans history, and
the history of the human race. What
will come out of this public assertion
of that which has been the subject of
speculation with many who have never
avowed their opinions? That the
Church ostensibly holds to the last
great day as a general gathering to-
gether and calling into court for SEN
tence, is true. 1t is preached, and in
conversation those who hold differ
ent view, or who do not regard it q
matter of any consequence except as
curious subject for speculation, are 81,
lent. Those who repeat the creed still
say II believe in the resurrection of
the body" and those who do not re-
gard that as at all essential to spirit
ual existence, and those who regard it
as a material view Of Il spiritual sub
iect, do not care to offend those whose
hope would be gone if they could not
believe they would be, in the other
world, endowed with physical senses
requiring material forms. There are
some who believe this is carrying too
much of the earthly into the spiritual,
but they are willing to let others who
believe with a certain writer Of Sun
day-school books, that good children
will have marbles and tops in Heaven,
enjoy their belief if it is a comfort.
