ular host of the Commercial House,
Mr.. j. II. Trimble. From the account
given, he had a delightful trip through
the upper counties.
Mrs Dan Briscoe and family returned
from Mooresburg Spring last Friday.
A two months absence shows wonder
full change for the better in her physical
person The children also were all ben
Gifted except the youngest which, we
regret to hear, is in a feeble and precari-
Gus condition.
Col. o. @. King and family, who have
been absent for some time at Sehorn's
Springs, Sewer county, returned home
last Thursday The rustication has been
of great benefit to the physical condi-
ton of the Colonel, but we regret to
learn that Mrs. K. is still very feeble in
health, and was not benefited by the
trip
Mrs. Col J. NJ. Bewley and family re-
turned from Mooresburg Spring last
week. We are gratified to say that the
water and trip has had the happiest eff
feet upon her disease and that she re-
turns looking like another person and
almost fully restored to her usual good
health.
Mr.. G. B. johnson, of Gibson county,
Va. was in our city few days last week,

red, and some one may be captured if |
you are not very careful.
We neglected to mention last week |
the return of our young friend, Johnnie |
Branscomb, the polite and popular sales
man at neighbor Pence's dry goods es-
adjustment. A few weeks with rela-
tiVes in Washington county has added
to his physical strength
We welcome his return, for it is assur-
ance that members of the evening club
will hereafter always find seats ready for
use. Miserable negligence has been
practised in this respect, by some one,
during his absence.
The sanctum of the GAZETTE Office
was gladdened last Monday morning by
,he presence of that good friend and &C
gentleman, Maj. Harry Heiss,
editor of the Nashville Amer
can. Notwithstanding his arduous la
Dors in behalf of the 50-4 compromise,
which, by the way, he conducted with
marked ability and spirit, he looks as
resi- and vigorous as he did year ago.
IF course he is en- route to Wolf Creek,
1here he expects to remain for four or
TX W eeks. We shall expect him here
gain on the Goth September. Mean {
me we bespeak for him the guardian
nip and protection of DR.. "Sawbones"
nd Greene Allen.
