Met at New Hope Church, Cannon

Presbytery organized by electing Rev.

pointing the regular Committees, they
proceeded with business. Rev. A. s.

the number of meetings of the Presby-
terry twice a year instead of once, which
prevailed. This will give a fall and

Caney Fork.

A party Of three couples, consisting
of VIM. Biles and Miss Clara Stain
back, Il. M. Reams and Miss Mary
Reed, w. H. Ross and Miss Maggie
Reed, made trip to CanOy Fork Falls
Wednesday, and spent most delight
full day. The party left town about
81 o'clock in the morning and reached
the Falls at nine o'clock, where eight
hours were spent in rambling over the
rugged and picturesqe bluffs and rocks,
gathering the ferns which grow there
in great abundance and rare perfection,
ard enjoying the many beautiful views
that present themselves to the eye at
almost every turn. 1t would be hard
to find prettier picture in nature than
the view from the rocks out in the bed
of the river, about opposite the old
mill. Looking up the river there is
succession of falls for nearly half a
mile, and the hurrying waters in their
mad frolic go dashing, crashing, dan
cling, prancing over the rocks and
boulders, here eddying and Appling
playfully into some pretty little nook,
and yonder plunging in maddened fury
with deafening roar down for fathoms
into the foaming vortex below, send
ing up fantastic columns of silvery
spray to vanish in mystic ether, and
forming over the surface sportive
troops of CLASSY beads that glitter for
an instant in the sunlight and then
give way to myriads of others that
come trooping after them. With the
imposing bluffs that tower majestically
and almost perpendicularly on either
side a hundred feet or more, capped
with luxurious growth of grand old
forest trees that lift their naughty
heads another hundred feet into the
cloudland above, the whole presents a
picture of natures gorgeous grandeur
that simply dazzles the eye with its
brilliancy and beauty. Not the least
enjoyable feature by any means Of
Wednesdays trip was the SUMPTION;
picnic dinner on the green sward
"down by the river side" The party
left the Falls at 5 o'clock, P. NJ, and
reached home about half past eight
having spent pleasant hour in taking
supper on the banks of Collins River
The party visited only the Warner
county side of the Falls, going ovel
Esq. Asa Faulkner's new road from
the Rock Island depot, and the new
bridge he has built over Collins Rive
at its intersection with Caney Fork
This makes the distance from McMinn
vile to the Falls only fourteen miles
and the trip can be made in day wit
all ease.

We frequently hear it predicted
that McMinnville will burn out som,
night. While it would not be a mat
ter of surprise for us to have big FIR
at any time, yet 1t is not absolutely nee
essary that we should have one. Be
ing without water works and fire depart
ment, we have no protection agains
fires save precaution and insurance
We are as liable to fires as other town
thathave suffered 50 severely, and it be
hOoves each citizen and property owne
to take every possible precaution agains
an outbreak of fire. Look, well to a
chimneys and Aues, see that they ar
all in good condition. Keep cellar
closets and stOre-roOms clean and
good order. Never put ashes in woode
) vessels, never allow rubbish and con
bustible material to accumulate in cd
corners. In nine fires out of ten wher
: the cause is not incendiarism, it is the r,
suit of carelessness on the part of som,
: body, and with proper care and precaI
ton on the part of all, McMinnvil
= may escape the frey fiend for man
long years to come.
