CONKIING,

Thursday night, enough to make one
feel as if winter had just set in.
There is quite an interesting revival
of religion in progress at Wesley Chapel.
The meeting has been going on two
weeks and quite a number of conversions

years old made a bright profession, and
another who had been q mourner for
thirty years.
Mr.. William Mckee improves slowly.

place Monday.

CORRESPONDENCE

some interest to at least some of the read.
ers of your most interesting paper, | will
write for publication a few lines from
this place.
Our jovial friend, Mr.. Ben White, who
has been south with stock, returned the
21st. Mr.. White, we regret to learn, had
som bad luck in shipping his stock. He,
however, made some good sales and while
he did not stay to sell all of his mules
still he thinks he will get rid of them at
fair prices.
The cold winter that we have Just ex.
perienced afforded fine weather to sit by
the fire, but the sunny days OF the past
two weeks were well improved by the in
dustrious farmers of this section. Believ-
ing that the thrift of any country is de.
pendent upon the agricultural interest of
the same, it is a gratifying thought that
the farmers of this neighborhood espec-
tally are every year becoming more and
more disguised with the ruinous custom
of buying commercial fertilizers and in
their stead are making and composing
manures, burning lime, and are thus pre-
pairing for the soil at tri6ing expense a
fertilizer that win be permanent in lis ef-
fects.

worthy candidates for the various offices

county court clerk, the announcement Of
DR.. Jacob Leah of Locust Mount. / would

business man, as a liberal supporter of

the race for the Office for which he has
announced himself q candidate. As to
his loyalty to the Republican party, his
record is unimpeachable. Should the re.
sponsibility Of the position to which he
aspires fall on him his qualifications are
such that he will perform, with distinc-
ton the functions of the Office. MEMO.

from Unicoi, thought | would give you a
few items to see whether or not you would
condescend to notice the doings of the
mountain boomers"
Our school at Flag Pond seminary,
came to an untimely end last Friday. Our
esteemed teacher, Prof. Mccarthy, has
been suddenly called away by the death
of his wife's father, it now devolving up
on him to take care of his mother.in. law.
Mrs. Mccarthy is already in Mich, and
the Prof. will follow soon. The church,
the Sabbath school and the whole COM
munity will sadly miss them.
Quite a quantity of tobacco has been
shipped from this section during the
past month, and, although the market
has been dull and prices low, most of
our planters have received satisfactory
prices. On the whole a considerable
amount Of money has come into the COM
munity and the lamentable cry of "hard
times" seems to be almost hushed up.
The circuit and chancery courts meet
at Erwin to-day and we are expecting
candidates to be thick as black birds and
polite as show-masters.
Our people are not much agitated as
yet over the coming campaigns. There
has been some little talk concerning our
next Circuit Judge. Col. Brown seems
to have the long end of the singletree in
this immediate section. Brownlow is the
general talk for congress.

AT the court house Sunday night
Judge Hacker presided, a well attended
meeting. The occasion of the services,
though Of a solemn character, wholly in
accord with christian sentiment, and the
participants penitents, it was not urged
on any one to Ego and do likewise" Ed
ward Brown and Jane Slower, a young
colored couple, had loved not fondly but
too well, but many things interfered with
their union. Through the efforts and
rather forcible persuasions of many well
meaning friends the last obstacle was
removed from the way by a contribution
of Jonesboro friends of funds to secure
the necessary license and the smiling
couple finally stood before the judgment
seat in the court house and were united.
Thus were the ends of justice secured
and the way for a life Of usefulness open
ed to two erring ones. May they profit
by it.

The Fire at johnson City.

Johnson City Enterprise, Feb. 25, says:
Last night about 7:30 o'clock the alarm
Of fiie was sounded and our gallant citi.
zens were soon all out armed with
buckets, ready for the fight. They soon
discovered that s. H. Hale's barn near
the creek was in flames-and it being
full of hay, oats, &c. 1t was noon seen
there was no chance to save it, and after
getting the horses out the bucket brigade
set to work to save the other buildings
near and it required hard work to do so.
McNees' shop and Azariah Peoples
house were the only ones that were in
the greatest danger but plenty of water
and willing hands saved them, but had
the wind been blowing it would have
stopped, no telling where. The loss to
Mr.. Hale is very heavy as all of his oats
and other feed Of any value was in the
barn. The fire is believed to be the work
of an incendiary. There was preaching
going on at the Baptist church at the
time, but at the sound of the bell the
congregation dispersed in less time than
it takes to tell it.
