.JouPsb0rD Items.

The following items are taken from the
Jonesboro Journal of Thursday
William P. Reeves and wife celebrated
their golden wedding on last Thursday at
their pleasant country residence, ''Wheat-
land, four miles from Jonesboro.
Miss Berthe Hodge, daughter of Rev
Samuel Hodge, Of Hopkinton, Iowa, arrived
in this place last Saturday morning, and is
stopping with her aunt, Mrs. John S.
Mathes. Miss Hodge is a graduate of
Lenox Collegiate Institute, Iowa, and also
of the Rockford Female Seminary, Ills
She has been elected one of the teachers of
the Parochial School at Washington Col
lege, in connection with Rev. j. E. Alex

| Rev. L. P. Smith, after an absence of
nine years. returned to Jonesboro last Sat
urday and has been spending a few days
with his relatives and friends in this county
He is now pastor of the leading Methodist
Church in the city of Dallas, Tex. He
occupied the pulpit at the M. E. Church,
South, last night, and preached an earnest,
practical sermon. He leaves tonight for
New York, where he will take passage for
London as a visitor to the great Ecumenical
Conference which meets in that city next
month.
In the second district in this county there
was born what has turned out to be very
eccentric individual. This event happened
sixty-three years ago, This person has
lived the whole of his life in that district.
He is noted for his harmless, inofensive
ways, and his devotion to his home. This
devotion is SO great that he has never visited
the railroad but once, has never seen but
one railroad train and never was in Jones
boro in his life. He remained at home
during the war, and although subject tc
coDscription he was not molested by the
Confederates His friends have severa
times urged him to visit Knoxville. offered
to pay his fare, but he invariably declines
their generosity.

NEW CHURCH ORGAN.
a Fortunate Congregation.

That is what the members of the German
Evangelical Lutheran Church of our city
consider themselves. Though rather few
in number, they have built and paid for
quite handsome little church, and main
tanned regular worship and instruction of
the young, paying their pastor and meeting
all their expenses out of their own pockets
by voluntary subscriptions raised among
themselves.
OF late the cabinet organ in use at their
services began to show unrnistakable signs
of an honorable old age How to
provide a new one, and, at the
same time, an instrument which should ade-
quately lead and support, and further devel-
op the vigorous and hearty style of church
song in use among them and aspired to by
them, was the question. It was plain that
a pipe organ was the thing needed. But to
ask the people for the money in addition to
their regular contribution would have been
asking rather too much, SO a benevolently
inclined member just presented them with
five hundred dollars for a pipe organ, the
money already in the organ treasury, and
another generous gift of twenty-five
dollars enabled them to contract for
a No. 2 '.chapel organ built
by Hook & Hastings, of Boston, Mass.
which arrived on July Both and was set up
in the church the following week under the
direction of the pastor. 1t has ten stops.
two of which are mechanical two hundred
and twenty-seven pipes, manual of fifty
six and pedal of twenty seven notes. The
bellows are weighted with seventy-five
pounds of stone. Its appearance is very
beautiful, and its tone, when played full, is
of more than ample power for that church,
while its three solo stops and swell enable
the organist to produce a fine variety of diff
ferent effects from the soft and mellow
wall of the stopped diapason to the jubilant
exultation of the flute and open diapason,
while the violina is very clear and delicate.
In addition to this, another member has
presented new carpet, so that it is no won
der the congregation feels rich and thankful.
While it is fortunate thing for them to re-
eeiye such gifts, it is more fortunate to be
able to give, and to give them. All the
| aforementioned donors do not wish then
names mentioned in connection with then
gifts.

Boilers.

We published day or two ago letter
from a gentleman residing in the Valley OF
Virginia who, though he acted with the
MALONE party last year, declared that lie
could not follow General MALONE any
longer. The PO9c Courier Of this week
states that the letters a. b." appended 10
an article giving the views OF one OF the
editors of that paper, were so appended
because the other Cditor did not approve OF
those views. Now, hear what the same "a.
b." has TO say of General MAHONES course
the Senate, and then Judge OF the posi-
ton OF the Courier, aud draw your own in.
fercnces rs TO whether there are any boilers
T rom the party of last year. Recolect
that these men were of the thrty-fOur
thousand. The Courier says:
eve do not endorse Radcalsm nor the
Radical party, nor will we ever endorse
General Malone or any other mau who
votes with the Radicals against the interests
OF his own State aud constituency. Should
General Malone ever 80 far forget himself
as VirgInian we will have no more OF
him but we do not feel disposed TO JOIN III
the TRADE against him before he has com
mitted such an act"
Before It's next issue the Courier VIII nave
earned that no Democrat in the UnlteC
States Senate recognizes General MALONE
as Democrat.
