John Singleton is still quite sick, ev-
identity failing in strength daily, and there
seems to be no hopes of his recovery.
-PERsoNA Misses Helen Conn and
Susie woodward, Brodhead's beauties, are
stopping with Mrs Huffman. Messrs. Lear,
Price Gentry and the daisy that captvated
with the handkerchief attended the con-
cert last Tuesday. Mr.. Henry Bruce and
mother are guests of Mrs. Stephenson;
also Miss Bette McRoberts. Boarders are
coming in rapidly at the Springs. Thirty
six are registered at present
The wedding so long talked Of has
taken place, and the cousins Of the groom
will long remember the affair. We went
to the depot at Crab Orchard 10 see the
bridal party of and throw some old shoes
after the train, when some one suggested a
trip 10 Livingston for the whole party. We
went, and a grand occasion it was. We
would suggest that, though East Tennessee
may not be quite as high sounding in a
bridal tour description as Niagara, an
Eastern trip or European tour, il bridal
party would be a success, take one sister,
three cousins, one cousin Of the male per-
suasion, widower and a young lawyer,
and you have the element. Then go to
Livingston, and-and, like we did, enjoy
il so mnch.
Tuesday night the entertainment by
the the Crab Orchard Literary Society was
given in the Christian Church, which was
filled to its utmost capacity by an appre.
ciatiye and attentive audience. The Exer-
cises we're opened with Prayer by Rev. Liv-
ingston. The programme was unusually
interesting, consisting Of music by Misses
Fish and Evans and Mrs. Carpenter, assist
ell by the young men, readings from the
Argus by its able editress, Mrs. 1arrant, and
an address by your talented townsmon, w.
r. Varnon, Esq, who did himself and the
occasion great credit. The young ladies
had but one regret, the handsome bouquets
they had ordered for the speakers were not
received in time, had they been Mr.. Var
non would have been the recipient Of botn,
a. Mr.. S. A. Walton was not present The
whole occasion was complete success, and
/ wish you had been present, Mr.. Editor.
The supper at the Harris House was just
such as the ladies Of Grab Orchard know
so well how to get up. The dance given
by the young men was a very enjoyable af-
fair, for il was the wee small hours before
it was concluded. Too much praise can
not he awarded Prof. O. z. Moore and
Dr. j. q, Carpenter for their labor and
trouble in behalf Of the Crab Orchard Lit
erary Society. May they be suitably re-
warded, the one by good wife and the
other by success in his profession. which
he certainly merits. Long live both VT
