We regret sincerely to hear of the
dangerous sickness of Capt. VIM. A.
Elliott, of District No. 3, this county.
He had severe congestive chill on
last Wednesday, and its symptoms
at one time became alarming. He
was much Frustrated after the crisis
of the attack had passed, but at last
accounts was much better. We
hope he has entirely recovered ere
this writing.
1t gives us pleasure to state that
Col. T. d. Leonard has recovered
sufficiently from his recent severe
attack of paralysis as to be able to
be moved. He was brought
home last Tuesday morning,
and is now at his farm. He
stood the trip well, and at last re-
ports was doing finely. We shall
expect to see him soon again upon
our streets.
We are glad to see upon our
streets Prof. w. w. Yarrell, who has
returned home, accompanied by
his niece, Miss Ivie Duke, to spend
thesummer. Their f1ourishing school
at Medon, Tenn, has closed for the
summer vacation. No gentleman
ever lived among us who has more
friends than Prof. Yarrell, and they
will be pleased to learn that his
school at Medon has prospered be-
yond his most sanguine expectation.
DIR. III. w. Dudley, of the st.
Bethlehem neighborhood, we learn,
has gone to Texas to locate and
practice his profession. DIR. Dudley
is son of Esquire Harry M. Dud-
ley, and is a young man of talent
and great promise in his profession.
He is a graduate, with the highest
honors, of the Philadelphia Medical
College. We gladly commend him
to whatever community he may
choose to locate in.
Rev. DR.. Fitzgerald, editor of the
Nashville Christian Advocate,
passed through our city, on last
Wednesday, en- route for Nashville,
and gave us a very agreeable but
too short a call. He had been down
the river to dedicate a church in
Stewart county. We understand
he called on no one in the city but
Esquire Sam Caldwell and us. This
was not treating his many other
friends here exactly right. Why
such haste, Doctor ? You have
many friends here who would like
to shake your hand.
The veracious Joe Mulhattan en-
graved his name, in a bold, bad
hand, on the register of the Frank
lin House last Thursday. Joe de-
MES the report that he refused to
deliver the funeral Grafton over the
grave of the late George Washing
ton, at the anniversary of his death,
from motives of low enUy or
jealousy. He says a man of his
known veracity could not afford to
jeopardize his character by trying
to bolster up the author of that
cherry tree story. Hence, he re-
fused.
Mr.. Spencer B. Dodd, represent
ing the extensive wholesale gas fix
ture house of McHenry & Co., Gin
cinnati, Ohio, left for home yester-
day morning. Mr.. Dodd has been
here for a week or two putting in
the bid of his house for the chande-
Tiers and gas fixtures of our elegant
new court house. He made many
acquaintance and friends during
his short stay with us, and the fact
that he did not procure the contract
to furnish the gas fixtures will be
regretted by all of our citizens who
met him, and found him to be such
a genial and pleasant gentleman.
If he did fail to light up the temple
of justice, we hope he will let the
light of his countenance shine upon
us occasionally, for it would be hard
to meter cleverer gentlemen.
Mr.. Eugene Ahearn and Mrs.
Savage wish to return their sincere
