How few Northern men realize that

was expended in the erection anc

this is an undoubted verified marvel
Gus fact. How few in this region are
prepared to learn that the assessable
values of the South have increased
S640,0O0,0O0 in the past four years.
Yet these are trustworthy figures.
How many of our people knew or
dreamed, that the Sou h had 3O7
cotton factories, with 100000 new
spindles? How many knew that in
Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and West Virginia,
the output of coal was increased
from 100000 tons in 1870 to $500,
900 tons in 1880, and that, in Ala

iron ore rose from 10000 tons in
1870 to $4,000 tons in 1880.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Tomorrow is the third Sunday
in the month and as is customary,
the collection at Christ Church will
take place in the evening instead OF
in the morning. From the fact that
since Christmas two of the monthly
offertories have been unavoidably
postponed, the expenses have run
ahead of the receipts, and it is ear
nestly requested that those who are
regular attendants at the evening
service would make an effort this
week so that the committee can pay
off the existing debt and start the
summer months afresh.

Knights Templar, Of Tennessee, was
held on Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week in Chattanooga.
There were eight Communicates
represented. The ceremonies COM

of the Knights. There we're 1853
Knights in line, headed by band
of 20 pieces, and followed by the
officers of the Grand Commandery.
The procession presented grand
appearance-the Knights marching
in soldier like manner.
Business seemed to be entirely
suspended in the city, and thousands
we're on the side walks, following
the procession. 1t was altogether a
gala day for Chattanooga, and her
citizens showed the greatest honor
and attention to the visitors. The
Railroad Corporation rendered the
use of the Grand Central Depot
building for the Headquarters of
the Knights, and a large suite of
rooms upstairs was used for that
purpose. The passenger depot was
also placed at their disposal exclu-
sively fordrill and parade-no trains
being allowed to enter the shed dur

At llo'clock A. NJ. James Hall

ceremonies. Rev. MIR. II. H. Sneed,
