Grand Chancellor l.. r. Carlisle,
of Chattanooga; Vice-ChancellOr
Geo. E. Seay, of Gallatin, and Su-
preme Representative B. II. Owen,
of this city, visited Cumberland
Lodge, X. of p. Tuesday night in
their official capacity. Interesting
addresses were made by the Grand
Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor.
When the necessary business had
been disposed of, the Lodge, with
its distinguished visitors, adjourned
to the Franklin House, where an
elegant banquet was enjoyed.
About forty-five persons were pre-
sent at the banquet, which was the
occasion of much jollity, good eat
ing and good fellowship. Before
final adjournment the Lodge-rOom
Was again visited, where some time
was spent in quiet pleasures and So
cial converse. 1t is generally agreed
that the Lodge never had a better
or happier meeting, and it is said
that even the Grand Chancellor was
made much 1OiSer by having at
tended.

Joe Jefferson m cLarksy,De.

Our city being little below the
metropolitan standard in size and
population, it is only once and
awhile that we are visited by first
class theatrical attractions. The
great actors seek larger places where
the audiences and the pay are more
commensurate with their reputation
and ability. When citizen of
GAINESVILLE wants to see real good
performance, it is generally neces-
sary to go to Nashville or Louis
vile which entails considerable
trouble and expense. 1t is crafty
ing, therefore, when on these SEM
mi-occasional instances Il star or
master of the histrionic art, visits
this city and appears Oh the stage OF
our own theatre. 1t affords a real
treat to the can't-get-away crowd
who don't have a showing at any
other theater and it even affords a
relished opportunity to our travel
ed and wealthy cOsmOpolitans who
can contrast the actor as they have
seen him on larger stages with the
appearance made here, and thereby
impress their less fortunate hearers
with the fact that it is glorious
thing to have money.
One uf these rare occasions will
probably be afforded us by visit
from Joe Jefferson. He will give
us date next February, provided
FIVE hundred seats can be sold at
- 90 per seat. Mr.. Jas. 7. Wood,
the efficient manager of the Opera
House, is making an effort to secure
the requisite amount and has so far
met with very fair success. The
seats must be engaged now very
shortly in order to have the great
actor come to see us, but they will
not be paid for until a few days be-
fore the play. There is but one Joe
Jefferson and he is growing old.
He is the only man who can play
Rip Van Wrinkle and he will prob
ably quit the stage after this season.
Nobody should loose the opportu-
nifty to see him.

Mr.. J. NJ. Rice of this city has
given much attention to grape Gull
ture and is very well posted on all
the best methods of training vines
&c. He has recently invented a
"grape trellis" which is an excel
lent device for keeping the vines
properly pruned and preserving the
fruit until it is ripe enough to gath
er. The trellis is a very simple
structure. 1t consists of posts at
equal distances with wire cross bars
The vines run up the post and are
pruned TO two prongs which run
each way on wire. All branches
from these prOngs are kept closely
cut except two that come out near
the main vine. These are left to
form the new vines for the succeed
ing year. They run on the top
wire which is lowered when the
first wire with the old vines is re-
moved. When the fruit forms Mr..
Rice covers the wire and vine with
a canvass which protects the grapes
from all attacts of birds and insects.

From. Rev. A. e. GooaIoe.

We are having rain to-day, and
the indications are that the ground
will become thoroughly saturated.
The farmers have been wishing for
this a long time, but as dry weather
is fine on young chickens and fruit
scaffolds, the queen of this house.
hold has not had any complaints to
make against the weather. off we
live and nothing happens" we will
fare sumptuously this winter on di-
vInity birds and cr06L0ateT3as. Can
you beat that at your house? But
/ am afraid our sweet potatoes are
not going to make good yield.
Our farmers generally have not
had successful year, in the matter
of sale for their products. Those
who went into the Irish potato
business were greatly disappointed,
and the broom corn, of which guam
titles are raised, is at very low fig
ures. This is u superior grass, grain
and stock country, but most OF the
farmers are after ''ready money!"
and they are trying to get it by
other methods of farming, using
negro labor much more abundantly
than is profitable. y big farm and
a big gang of negroes these days is
the greatest calamity that can befall
a farmer.
We are all having fine health at
our house, and do not expect to
move soon, unless Bishop Pierce
says SO week after next. My pas
tOral charge has been greatly weak
ened by deaths and removals since
my first year, but L am more than
satisfied to remain with this excel
lent people the full extent of the
pastoral term. Indeed, there is
some doubt in my mind if l shall
move my family, should L be APP
pointed to another pastoral charge.
We have supplies in hand for an
other year, the children ali at school
that are large enough, and the COM
munity cannot be excelled on this
green earth.
Several Presiding Elders and
quite number of station magnates
are to be changed this Conference,
and the news comes down our pike
that there is much fear and trem-
bling about Nashville. Several
things l might say on this line, but
must not. This itinerancy is shak-
ing-up business, you know, and we
must all take our chances. Who
will get McKendree? That is the
question of questions. We hear
some funny things on that subject,
but you must stay in the dark
can't tell you what we hear about
that. Yours heartily,
. A. II. GoODLOE.

committee was appointed by the
court to examine the financial re-
port of the clerk and master, to in

report
During the past month transac-
tons in our market have been quite
small. The supply being inadequ-
ate to the demand, which in con-
nection with unsatisfactory crop re-
ports, together with an active and
improved demand in New York,
have all conspired to stimulate and
enhance values until prices are now
materially higher than on the first
of September.
In regard to the present crop it is
difficult to form correct opinion,
but, judging from the most reliable
reports have been able to obtain
from the country, together with
what l have seen myself, I am con-
WINGED that the dry and unusually
cool weather during part of Aug
ust and September has materially
shortened the yield of the crop in
this district, which in addition to
the depredations of the Tobacco
worm in some localities, has seri-
ously impaired its quality, there
fore in the main we may reasonably
expect another inferior and unde-
sirable crop. About all of the early
and a smart portion of the later
planting is now in the barns, and L
am sorry to say some of the latter
has been cut green for fear of an
early frost. Indications are favor
able for rain, there having been
slight sprinkle this morning.

OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Fro.n Ashiand CITY.


To the Chronicle:
II you ask for news, you are told
of the dry weather. We had fine
shower last Sunday, but the parch-
ed earth seems rs thirsty a ever.
No work for wheat can be done to
advantage. Trade and mill work
appear to be on the increase in our
quiet town. Some fine work has
been done on the roads in our inn
mediate vicinity, which we trust
will be to our advantage during the
oncoming winter. If the whole
county would do likewise, it would
show solid progress. Our county
needs better roads and school hous-
es. Fine reports are coming in from
numbers OF our public schools.
Live young men have hold of sew
erald of the schools, and are having
fine attendance and good interest.
Perhaps no neighboring county has
so good corps of young teachers.
We are the prouder OF them in that
they were mainly trained at our
Ashland High School, here in our
own county. The High School
seems to have entered upon a new
tide of prosperity. One hundred
and twenty-eight have entered, and
more for next Monday. However,
the large school building is not near
full. The outlook is promising for
this to be one of the largest schools
in Middle Tennessee. The new
music teacher, Miss Mamie Halsell,
has made wonderful impression
as to her ability both as performer
and vocalist. -
The Rev. r. A. Reagan has in
progress a good meeting at the
Methodist church. The attendance
is good and there is quite an inter-
est-seyeral penitents. This preach
er is finishing upa faithful, earnest
years work, and deserves the high
est success. No man has travelled
in these parts who is more earnest
in the pulpit, and more devoted in
going far and near to minister to
the sick, the DISTRESSED and the dy-
ing.
You have seen our Reporter, we
have strong hopes of its success.
We look for a telephone almost any
day, the posts are up and the wire
here. SAM.
