Ed. DISSEMINATING weather
is mild and lovely and we are
having a resume of the agreea-
BILE climate for which the valley
of the Tennessee is so remarka-
bic. The makeup Of one fall
and winter here, although some
what various, is generally the
loveliest season of the year.
Last Sunday we attended the
dedication services at the new
Prosperity church, erected re-
Gently on the site of the old
building, which was destroyed
by fire nearly Il year ago. Ser
vices were conducted and the
sermon preached by Rev. A. S.
Sloan, pastor of NewHope. The
new edifice is commodious, and
though plain, is a handsome
frame structure, modern in de-
sign and great improvement
in every respect on the old
building. There is an air of
ncatness and propriety about the
whole edifice that is eminently
pleasing, and the finish shows
superior skill in the workmen
who completed the job. The
dedication sermon was such as
one would expect from a divine
of Mr.. SIS character, and was
highly edifying, entertaining and
eloquent. But We cannot with
hold the opinion, that if the Rev.
Doctor would throw away his
paper wings and talk directly
and earnestly to his hearers the
effect would be better, and the
interest more fully sustained.
Although the weather was quite
unfayorable, there was present a
very respectable congregation,
and the house was well filled.
We would remark in passing,
that we have seldom, if ever, OBJ
served in a country congrega-
ton, larger per cent. of gen
teel, and apparently cultured la
dies than we met here.
In our village, for the past
week, serenades, music, singing,
dancing and diversions general
ly have been the order Of the
evening. Much good cheer,and
many social greetings and ex-
changes have passed the rounds
and none of us feel any the
poorer or the worse for them.
MIR. Wesley Watson has re-
moved toMr.Leatherwood's farm
on Cold Water, where he has, we
understand, rented for three
years. M M
Mr.. Pat. j. Green has remov-
ed to Camargo where he will be-
gin a school on the first Mon
day in January. a,ss i.
Mr.. VIM. Wyatt, an old and
highly respectable citizen ofLin-.
coin county, died at his residence
in the 18th district. He filled
during his life several RESPONSE
BILE stations in society, and his
loss will be deeply regretted by a
large circle of friends. He was
a true patriot, good neighbor,
kind friend and father, and a
man of eminently religious in
stincts. Our being a stranger
psecludes any very lengthy no.
tice of the deceased.
DR.. j. M. Stewart and r. B.
Pitts started Wednesday for
Missouri,w where the former thinks
of locating, and the latter goes
to attend the sale of some lands
in which he is interested.
Tuesday night Mr.. Calvin
Dale took a helpmate, in person
of Miss Letitia Fife, of Camar-
go. Bully for Calyinl Since he
has made up his mind to shuttle
off the mortal coil of bachelor
hood, he looks ten feet high and
feels his manhood all over. But
it is enough to stir the vitality of
a boa constructor to be warmed
up by the loving embraces of a
Camargo lass; and if the Moline
boys don't want to go into mat
rimony unprepared, we would
advise them to give Camargo a
wide berth.
On dit that B. B. Bryan, Esq,
is about to wheel into line with
Mrs. Smith for the rest of the
journey. Smooth grade, a little
down hill, but no breakers.
With a careful engineer there
will be no danger. Typo.
