We are requested to announce
that DR.. G. c. Brown, Mission Secre-
tary Of the Baptist State Convention,
will preach at the Baptist Church in
this place on the 9th inst. All the
members are specially urged to be
present, and the public generally in
vited.
We have received from Mr.. j. III.
A. Odom, of Auburn, Cannon Coun-,
ty, Tenn, a sample of -four made
from what he calls Bohemian Flour
Corn" Mr.. Odom claims that ordi-
nary land will produce one hundred
bushels of this corn to the acre, and
extra good land will produce two
hundred. 1t is said to be better fla
vored and sweeter than wheat flour,
and superior to wheat -four for bis
cult, light bread or cakes. 1t is also
fine corn for feeding stock, being
softer than the ordinary Indian corn.
Mr.. Odom will plant a large crop of
it this year, and will be able to sup
ply the seed in the fall. ~
AT the close of the service at the
M. E. Church in this place, last SUM-
day, about one thousand dollars were

pletion this year. Work will be COM
menced at an early day, and the base
ment story will be built of stone. We
hope the work will go forward with

Notes of Warning.

A Washington special to the Nash
vile Union says:
THE National Republican today,
in a double-leaded editorial, sounds
what should be a note of warning for
Tennessee Democrats. 1t says the
objective point of the Republicans in
the next fall campaign should be to
carry Tennessee. 1t states it is a fact
that the Republicans have made
steady.gains in the State for several
years. 1t says the machine organs
are driving Democrats out of the par
ty by their course, and the Republi-
cans have only to make a proper eff.
fort and they will be able to elect the
governor, members of the supreme
bench and two or more congressman
next fall.

Here is good one by the Herald,
and we hasten to embalm it: "Has
the Senate any more right to require

Well put, and as 'pat" as if Currar
or Grattan had let it fly! So far as
the Constitution provides, the Presi
dent has rather more right to raise 8
row over a rejection of his appointed
than the Senate has to "cut up" be

A notable example of the utiliza-
ton of smoke is afforded in the case
of a charcoal furnace at Elk Rapids,
Mich. In the furnace, as stated, are
manufactured fifty tons of charcoal
per day; there are twenty-five char
coal pits, constructed of brick, each
pit being filled with 100 cords of hard
wood, and then fired. The vast
amount of smoke thus produced is
made to yieldacetate oflime, alcohol,
