Montgomery County at New orleans.


The County Court appointed
Esqrs., Anderson, Slaughter and
Corban committee to consider the
advisabiIity of appropriatingi $3.50
for the purpose of making display
at the New Orleans Exposition, and
report at the July term. The Com
mittee was appointed on the motion
of Esqr., Slaughter who is strongly
in favor of the appropriation and
from what we can learn of theviews
ofsthe other memberslof the commit
tee, the report is likely to be agreea-
BILE to the enterprise. Several coun-
ties in the State made appropriation
for the purpose at the January
court and quite a number of others
fell into line last Monday. As the
will not meet until after
the Exposition has been opened,
this is the only means by which the
State can make a creditable display
in the large space allotted to her.
Montgomery county must be rep
there, whether the means
come from public appropriation or
private subscription, and the for
mer. is the safest plan to rely on.
With the immense mineral wealth
and varied agricultural productions
of this county, a much better dis
play can be made than by those
West Tennessee counties that ap-
propriated money in January, 1t
will be a lost opportunity for adj
our material interests ifthe
project should fail.

THE County Court appropriated
$500 for repairing the Greenwood
cemetery turnpike, provided like
amount can be raised for the same
purpose by private subscription.
AS this is the only Stree turnpike"
in the county, and one in which the
city is largely interested, we hope
the money will be readily subscrib-
ed: Besides the necessary purposes
for which the road to the cemetery
Is used, it is one Of the most pleas-t
ant and popular drives about the
city, and should be kept in thorough
good order.

A Suggestion to the Students of S. w. p. u.
The students of the South Yves
tern Presbyterian University might
find some fun and oritorical exer-
else in holding mock political con-
vention and nominating candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency. The idea is not original
with US but suggested by the fact
that students In other colleges have
been amusing themselves in that
manner. The candidates, of course,
would be selected from the promi-
nent men of the day who are spo-
ken of for such positions. The con-
vention would have to adopt a
platform, resolutions &c. It would
afford fine fun for the participants
and give them some training in the
workings of public assemblies. We
have selfish motive in the advanc-
ing the idea; we don't expect to go
to Chicago this summer and if the
college boys don't hold a conven-
ton we won'tsee presidential can
didate nominated for four years, at
least.

A Letter from Nashville.

/ THE following interesting COM
munication from the State capital
was crowded out of our last weeks
issue, but our readers will find 1t no
less interesting because it is little
old I
/ To the Chronicle:
The centinary services of the
Methodist church began at McKen-
dree last night. The object calls
forth much enthusiasm. On Sun.
day last, we were fortunate in find
ing seat at McKendree the edi-
fee was crowded to overlooking.
The occasion was a memorial SER
mon, delivered by Bishop Pierce,
giving us an insight to the life OF
our late Bishop Kavanaugh. The
impressive manner and well modu-
lated voice of the speaker, paying
tribute to the dead, held the congre-
cation spell-bound. One of the
familiar faces in the pulpit on that
day is dear to many in your city;
speak of the present pastor of Nc
Kendree, Bro. Barbee. He is
welding an influence over all with
whom he comes in contact, and is
fast becoming a favorite with the
young; looks the same as when he
preached to us in the old gray brick
church on Franklin street in Clarks-
vile,
While here OH a visit, we have
had the pleasure of inspecting the
Southern Publishing House, from
top to bottom the affable and cour-
teous gentleman, A. G. Jackson,
piloted us through and kindly ex-
planned all mysteries. In the press
room we found twelve large and
four job printing presses; one of the
largest was turning out thirteen
hundred and forty Christian Advo-
Gates in one hour. Could give sew
eral items of interest, but will only
say that visitors to this city can pass
pleasant hour at the Southern
Methodist Publishing House.
The noble women of this city are
soliciting good reading matter for
the inmates of the penitentiary /; the
date of paper or book is no item.
All persons willing to cast one ray
of sunshine in the prisoners path,
can send papers, bound books (old
or new. pamphlets, and periodicals
to Mrs. S. Hatton, Librarian.
Will write from other points,
should this find room in your valu-
able paper. M. BURTON.

And glad hearts raise
Their songs of praise
Beneath a spring -time's sky.
