Miss Taylor, OF Chicago, the adop-
ted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Romeyn
Mead, of this place, arrived Thursday
evening and will make this her future
home. She is certainly very fortunate
to find home so pleasant and delight
full as that of Mr.. and Mrs. Mead.
C. M: Smart, one of our best
farmers, was in town Thursday. He
his wheat crop as looking

stead fertilizer in putting in his crop
and is we'll pleased.
Capt. A. D. Haynes, with the
Lumberman Publishing and Mailing
Company, Nashville, was in McMinn-
vile last week soliciting business for
his house. This is the printing estab-

Jimmie Camp is connected.
DIR. Stainback, pastor of the G. P.
Church, went to Murfrcesboro last
Monday to assist Rev. j. H. Warren
in meeting, expecting to return to-
day Saturday, but becoming unwell,
returned home Thursday evening. We
hope the DR.. may soon recover.
Bob Womack brought Charley
Colville home Wednesday. Bob says
it was hard work persuading Charles
away from Murfreesboro-he didn't
want to come at all. Bob reports
everything fourishing in Kentucky,
and money fush-says he "saw a dol
lar the other day"
VIM. Biles returned from Cincinnati
Monday. We think Bill must have
been overcome by matrimonial wave
somewhere up in Kentucky--he is
still wearing his store clothes, and talks
a heap about the drives he took around
Bowling Green.
