The Phpnix Hotel Saloon, under
the management Of Mr.. Lou i.
Gaines, one Of the finest saloon heep-
er in the State, is the handsomest
house of the kind in the city. Mr..
Gaines is well known in the city and
the fact that the house is under his

wines, cigars, etc, always on hand.
Nice cool beer always on tap.
The entertainment at the Opera
House Friday evening, given by the
school children for the benefit of the
public school library, was very well
attended. The entertainment was
very crediiablc TO the children who
participated, while much credit is
due to Prof. Dietrich aud Miss Emily
Perry who got il up. They used
every effort TO make 1t Il success aud
they realized their fondest anticipa-
tons. The net receipts amounted to
sl3j, which amount will be expended
in the purchase Of new books for the
already handsome and wcll-iillcd
library Of the public schools.
Messrs. l.. G.. Williams Il Co, have
opened up an implement house on
Bridge street, temporarily, until they
can get into more capacious rooms
on Nashville street. Mr.. L,'G. Will

tisemcnt ia full of what they sell
will be seen in another column.

street in front of them and obtained
possession Of the river just in adj
vance Of the first body. Ed. Richey,
of the Second church, baptized three
converts and then Ed. Williams, of
the First, who had patiently waited,
proceeded TO baptize four or five
The differences between the two bod
les have long since gotten past the
healing point.
In mentioning a difficulty in our
last issue between some English inn
migrants, that resulted in the arrest
of Miss Roakc, at the instance of
Henry Saturday, we stated that there
had been trouble between the fami-
lies for some time. This had no ref
errence to Mr.. II. Roake's family, ex-
cepting his daughter, as he did not
