Mrs. DR.. Davis, of Knoxville. de-
livered private lecture to the
ladies last Thursday, in the NJ. E.
Church. A fair sized audien ce
greeted her, most of whom were
highly pleased.
The election of officers occurred
at the M. f. Church last Sabbath.
A. G. Howe was elected Superin-
tendent;'W. c. Chumlea Assistant;
lille Ruble Secretary; Anna Moore
Assistant; q. N. Badgett Treasurer,
DR.. NJ. F. Gourley and family
have removed from their home
near Louisville to Montague, Texas.
The Doctor and family have hosts
of friends, who regret to see them
leave Blount County. The TIMES
can cheerfully recommend them to
the community in which they shall
settle.
w. T. Parham is making some
decided Improvements at his wool
en- mills. He is preparing to re-
move the machinery out Of the old
frame building into the basement
of the brick. The object in making
the change is to economic power,
lessen the risk of fire and nave
things more convenient.
The Directors investigated the
condition of the Maryville Bank
last Saturday. The books and the
cash tailed to the cent. In many
respects the business has exceeded
all expectations. We are thorough
ly satisfied that the stockhold-
ers could not have selected more
efficient and business set Of men for
officers than the present ones.
Israel Baker has 50 arranged his
business affairs as to be able to con.
Time without any interruption.
He will in the future make the
baking business a speciality. He
has also arranged to carry, as agent,
a good selection of family grocer
les. We can cheerfully recommend
him to public favor. Drop in and
give him call.
The w. G. T. U. will hold the an.
nual meeting at the residence of
the President, Mrs. Thorne, on
Thursday, at ~ p. M, at which
time the election of officers for the
ensuing year will take place. 1t is
hoped there will be a general at
tendance, not only of the members
but also other ladies who desire to
become members and thereby .helr
on the good work. :.

New Years Day they SLICED It W
and invited their friends to helr
eat it. Being the first watermelon
we ever ate on New Years Day
we had our engraver make US a Gu,
of 1t and our poet soak it down, OF
embalm 1t rather, in pathetic
stanza. Look at 1t on the first
page.
Rev. John +. Hunt, of the llth
District, died on the I'd inst, in the
18th year Of his age. His funeral
occurred TN the 4th inst, by Rev. J.
A. Ruble. He was engaged fol-
more than forty years an active
minister in the Baptist Church and
was a member of the same organi.
cation for more than 4S years. He
was well known and all who knew
him esteemed him for his perfect
manliness and integrity. Few men
of his opportunities have accom-.
plished so much in the great battle
of life.
We have received from George
Stinson 4 Co., of Portland, Maine
the well-known Art Publishers, a
magnificent, full length steel en-
craving of General Grant. 1t is
after Anderson's celebrated photo.
graph, which was made while the
general was still in full vigor, and
represents him in his sturdy, manly
strength, as the people wish to re-
member him. 1t is, undoubtedly
the best portrait ever made of the
general. Messrs. StinsOn & Co. are
in need of agents for several i'm
