/ last place we visited, there is no way to
get down to see 1t, except as mechanical
art contrives. 1t is said that once upon

distance of 70 feet into water deep
enough to swim her. The good man to
whom she belonged was unwilling to
leave her, so he hired another man to be

the poor cows neck, when they drew
her from her water home, she not hav-

DEPARTURES.
Miss Guss;e Bradbury left Saturday
morning, with Mrs. DIR. Belts, whom
she has been visiting this summer, for
her home in Atlanta.
Also, Miss NJ. Otillia Massengill left
this morning for Union City, West
Tennessee, where she goes to visit her
brother, and to attend the fair at that
place. She is to go on to Missouri to
visit her sister. She will be missed by
her scores of friends In this communi y,
from whom she regretted to part. She
always had kind word and genial
smile for her friends. She will be miss
ed in the Sabbath school, and by the
pastor of the church at Cedar Grove,
who always found her in her seat en-
church days. She was an earnest, de- |
voted christian worker, whose influence
was felt by all around. The church |
will miss this lady. We wish her safe !
and pleasant time while in the West, |
and should she not return to East Ten
nessce to make her home, we will con-
graduate the community where she
may take up her abode, and the church
with which she may cast her lot, in be-
ing so fortunate in obtaining the assist
ance of one so devoted to the cause of
the Master she professed to follow.
Time, as well as space in your col
umns, forbid my speaking of the in
creasing demand for a depot at this
place. Respectfully,
LEE SHELTON.
