Baptist church, Sunday.
Hog cholera has been playing havoc
among the hogs in this county lately.
Several were lost in Jonesboro.
-Incognito's Scamp Meeting Notes
reached us too late for publication this
week. They will appear in our next issue.
The Sulphur Springs camp meeting
was largely attended Sunday. The crowd
was estimated at from 1900 to 1000, to
which Jonesboro and johnson City con-
tributed a large number.
Once or twice last week q dog with
a tin can tied to his tail might have been
seen running through u streets. Parties
to such acts Of towards q dumb
brute should be under severe penalty by
law.
There is an apple tree in the east end
of town which presents a singular ap-
pearance. II seems to have abandoned
lis natural fruit and giving its bearing
powers to the production of a crop Of
gourds.
The freight platform at the railroad
depot has been replanked. An improve
ment. We wish we could announce this
as the first step in the much needed
changes to take place in that ancient
structure.
On Monday night next, September
Goth, Rev. Mr.. Allison will commence a
series of meetings in Jonesboro, assisted
by Rev. Mr.. Haymore of Bristol. The
public are cordially invited to attend
these meetings.
Rev. E. Allison is still engaged in a
revival meeting at johnson City, where
interesting meetings have been going on
for three weeks. A large number of con-
versions are reported and many additions
to the church.
The platform at the passenger depot
is in very bad condition and we look to
see some one hurt there nightly wher
crowded at train time. The company
might at least keep its platform in order,
even If they do not deem Jonesboro o.
sufficient importance to have q decen
waiting room.
The Knoxville Tribune shows grca
improvement in its issues lately. Its re

Taylor brothers at Madisonville deserve
special mention, and its Sunday edition
show a spirit Of enterprise on the part o
Its publishers, such as Knoxville has no
seen in a long time.
