The faculty and boarding pupils
of c. F. College made their regular

Mr.. r. S. Potter announces him
self through our columns this week

the vacancy occasioned by the resig-

Quite number of people from
McMinnville and Warren county
who expected to visit the Sparta fair
last week were deferred from going

trains late in the evenings. There

too late to take advantage of it.
There was some fine stock on exhibit
ton, and some good racing, but we
understand the attendance was not
up to that Of former years.
Nearly every Northern man who
settles in this county subscribes for

without solicitation, land pays for il

courage the coming of these people
Reading farmers make successful
farmers, and successful farmers make
all other lines of business prosperous
Let our own people make a note O.
this, and roll up their subscriptions
to their county papers.
