"A new sidewalk is being laid in front
of the store of w. G. Mathes-a much
needed improvement. Wouldn't it be. a
fine thing if the spirit of enterprise and
improvement should strike some more of
our property owners on Main street,
DIR, Deaderick and Win Reeves went
down Holston river last week as far as
Rogersville on a duck hunting excursion

AT the last meeting OF the Board of
Enterprise it was determined to suspend
the effort to establish a National
Bank, and canvass the county for the
purpose of asccrtaining the propriety of
a private bank. The latter we under
stand has been agreed upon and the nee.
essary amount already subscribed. We
will certainly have a bank within the
next thirty days.

The house belonging to J. F. Girls.
ham, and occupied by Messrs. Taylor and
Walker, cam very near burning last
Thursday, and would certainly have been
consumed but for the prompt and efficient
aid of nearly every one. 1t seems that a
spark from the chimney fell among some
leaves that had collected in a trough be
tween the kitchen and back porch and
ignited them and from there was rapidly
conveyed to the roof. 1t wss indeed a
miraculous escape.
