Results OF the Camp Meeting.

The camp-meeting at Bells Camp Ground
closed on Monday night, 5th. 1t continued
eleven days and was grand success. l do
not think ever attended a meeting of more
interest The order throughout l never
saw surpassed. There has been perfect
revolution at this place in the way of good
order in the last year or two About twenty
professed religion during the meeting, and
there were about twenty penitents at the
altar when the meeting closed. Taking the
meeting altogether aud in every respect I
have never attended better one. Bells
Camp Ground will, in the near future, be-
come one of the most noted and popular
camp grounds in all this country The few
campers who were on the ground bore q
very heavy burden during the meeting, but
they bore their burdens with true Christian
spirits. They are noble and free e-hearted
Christian brethren and sisters We trust
the Lord will abundantly reward them for
their sacrifices.

GreeneXiIle Letter.


GREENEvILLE, Tenn, Sept. 6, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR: The principal topic of con-
versation now is the approaching county
fair, which will be held on the 2Sth, 29th
and 3Oth of this month This has been q
good year for our farmers, and they are
fore. That the fair will be the best one
ever held in the county is now assured
The applications for space in the exhibition
hall have already been SO many that the di-
rectors determined to build large new exhi-
bition hall for their accommodation. The
work on this new building has been CON-
menced and it will be pushed forward rap
idly, and it will be completed before the
fair. This will furnish ample accommoda-
tons for all exhibitors
A bulletin has Just been issued announcing
large number of special premiums not in
the premium list. The directors are doing
all in their power to make the fair a grand
success, and we have no doubt the town
will be full to overfowing on the occasion.
Wheat finds ready sale in Greeneville at
$1.30 per bushel and everything else bears
good price. While the town is not i'm
proving, the county is showing as much
prosperity and as much improvement as any
county in the State. There are three extern
sive evaporators for drying fruit running in
Greene County, and they are all doing a
good business. Each one of these we learn,
uses 1000 bushels of fruit a day.
The library and furniture of the late ex-
President Andrew johnson was advertised
for sale at public oUtery on the 29th Of
