Wesley's Chapel.

TO the Standard.
AS the Viola correspondent failed
to note the result of the prOtracted
meeting at Wesley's Chapel a short
time past, and feeling that a host of
the readers of your valuable paper
would like to know something about
it, we beg for a few lines to make a
report:
The meeting was conducted by the
Rev. G. b. McPeak, preacher in
charge of the Hickory Creek circuit.
The opening sermon was preached
by Rev. j. G. Rice, at IL o'clock q.
M, August 30. Quite an interest was
manifested from the beginning. Rev.
G. w. Anderson was on hand Tues
day and Wednesday for the purpose
of holding the last quarterly confer
ence for the present conference year.
He did some excellent preaching.
The reports for the circuit in general
were better than was expected. The
sacrament was administered Wednes-
day to. a large number of commune
cants. The meeting closed Sunday
night, Sept. 9th, with satisfactory re-
suits, there being "a accessiOns to the
church and about that many CONVEX,
sions.
There was a glorious revival infiu-
ence kindled in this community, not
only among the members of the
Methodist Church, but was felt by al
Christian people, and we hope much
good may be accomplished yet.

To the Standard:
Ague and fever are common COM
plants in the valleys along the river,
and the people would do well to keep
out of the dew every morning.
The little rains we had last Sunday
evening and Monday morning cooled
the atmosphere to some extent and
the people had a pleasant time to
witness the grand show that was eX-
hibited at McMinnville Monday, and
the people were SO densely crowded
that two little children died of suffo-
cation.
Miss Callie Wears at Rev. Jonathan
Morton's, has been very low for a
few days, but we are glad to state she
is better now.
Mrs. Ester Step, near Philadelphia
church, departed this life on the 9th
Of this month, and her remains were
carried to Shiloh, Warren county,
and numbered among those who
have been there so long. Thus one
by one are peopleing the pale nation
of the earth.
Rev. Judge Smith, from some
cause or other, failed to fill his APP
pointment at Philadelphia last Sun
day, but the stand was occupied by
other ministers who happened to be
present.
This week winds up the fodder
business with most of the farmers in
this part of the country.
Leck Carter made a business trip
to Tracy few days ago and was seen
coming back down the mountain
walking straddle of mule.
Sterling Savage commenced max
ing mOlasses this week and it is pre-
sumed he will give a candy pulling

Mrs. Stevens, of Nashville, came

AS the editor is not a married man
l don't suppose he knows how to
sympathize with fellow whose wife
has gone off to visit the old folks at

unto himself a better half before l
ask him to sympathize with me.
Rev. Joe Myers returned from
Maury county Wednesday. He says
he has had two glorious meetings
since he has been gone.
What came near being a fatal ac-
cident happened on the up train Tues
day morning. AS it was turning
over the grade between Summitville
and Morrison, plug in one Of the
fiues Of the engine blew out, knock
ing fireman Casey, who was oiling
the valves in front of the firebox, out
of the cab. He caught the hand-hold
