special sermon to young men, making
fllial obedience the special feature of it,
He is one Of our best preachers, being
thoughtful, cultivated and deliberate
Rev. II. II. Parker preached in the fore
noon most excellent sermon on divid-
ed allegiance. Prof. Dilworth presided
at the organ and rendered in faultless
STYLE a hymn to the music of Annie Lau-
! re. He is one of the most accomplished
music teachers we have ever had in
Bristol, knowing both how to teach well
and to perform elegantly. His social
qualities have rendered him exceedingly
popular in this town. President Hea-
ron wishes our people to note specially
that he takes particular pains in CLASH
flying and teaching young children

Mr.. Leo Harmeling sold last Saturday
to Messrs. Williams & Keebler his Main
Street propcrty-42 feet front, at % dol
lars per foot. 1t is located just west of
Gump's clothing store, and has on it
now the framed Agricultural Implement
depot of Mr.. Written. By-the-way,
Mr.. c. Harmeling will build so foot
extenton to Gump's Store, extending
it that much in rear. Mr.. Leo Harme-
ling has bought Jno. G. Dakins farm,
in this county, on the South Fork, adj

acres for $500. He gets possession
next fall, and will have 40 acres of fine

Last week said Mrs. Crockett had
grown tired of the ghosts and had re-
moved to Main Street. ] certainly did
not mean this in any serious sense. Mrs
Crockett, so far from believing in ghosts
is very intelligent lady. and she be-
leves the ahnoyances came from some
verltable persons who were bent on de-
stroying her peace of mind. Neverthe-
less, she could not afford continuance
of it, and she has removed to the dwell
ing lately vacated by Mr.. Geo. Harme-
ling, who is now removing his effects to
Atlanta. Last week he removed his fur
nturo to the Local Express office, and
on Sunday night between dark and 10
o'clock some diabolical individual at
tempted to destroy the Express Office by
fire. A bottle filled with kerosine and
cotton, wrapped carefully in n copy Of
the Knoxville Tribune, was lighted and
dropped inside the window, pane of
glass being broken ont for the purpose.
When the agent, Mr.. Jennings, return
ed at 10 o'clock, the oil had burned q
hole in the floor and the fire had died
out. Some of the oil had dripped
through on to the coal in the cellar, but
had not ignited it. A watch will be
kept hereafter in the Office If this in
cendiary scheme had succeeded, the i'm
mense passenger shed and the Depot and
telegraph Office would doubtless have
been consumed.
regret exceedingly that my notice of
Mrs. Crockets removal should have been
construed by any one into the idea that
she IL for moment believer in any
such an impossibility as ghosts.
/ met on street yesterday my old
friend w. G. Darlington, accompanied
by his brother, on his way South. ]
sometimes have my doubts whether he
is good Rcadjuster, but have hope of
him. AS soon as he can see that Read
justment is right he will 60 for 1t. Any
way here's to you, Darlington.
Tobacco seems to be moving briSkly
at Winston's Warehouse. The sales last
week were unusually large for the sea-
son of the year. All of the good and
finer grades of wrappers sold at very
satisfactory prices-ranging from 10 to
40 dollars, The common grades contin-
ue dull and low. Fine and fancy wrap
pers are wantcd-such would command
high prices, as they are wanted for the
order trade. Large breaks are expected
this week.
