of Knoxville. Mr.. Arnstein is a courte-
Gus and affable gentleman, and in his new
home he will havo our best wishes for his
success.
We are glad to learn that the members
of the Anderson Baptist Church have
taken steps contemplating the remodel
ing Of their present building. They have
secured the opinion of "a competent archi-
tect that the present walls can be made
available, and the architect has furnished
rough plan of remodeling, which con-
templates the tearing down of the present
steeple and front and erecting modern
front, with towers at each end, changing
the interior of the auditorium and reduc-
ing the size of the present windows The
plan also provides for an addition from
the rear of the present building for Sun
day School and prayer meetings, with a
pastors study. We hope the enterprise
will be successful, for nothing adds more
to the interest in any place than good
Church buildings, and when the plan pro-
posed is carried out, the Baptists will have
Church building of which they may we'll
be proud.
Mr.. M. B. Arnstein has sold the stock
and fixtures of the New York Cash Store
to five of Anderson's popular young men,
Messrs. T. S. Crayton, jr., ]. T. Jones, q.
Z. Seybt, W. F. Cox and g. F. Bigby,
who will continue the business at the old
stand. The new firm will be known as
Crayton, Jones Seybt. Messrs. Cox and
Bigby are not active partners, and will
have nothing to do with the conduct of
the business. This is certainly strong
firm. Though comparatively young in
years, these gentlemen are old hands in
the dry goods business. Mr.. Crayton has
been with Mr.. Arnstein for several years
Mr.. Jones has been with G. F. Jones &
Co. ever since that firm has been in busi-
ness, and for six years Mr.. Seybt has been
w. A. Chapman's.-chief clerk. The new
firm will handle about the same line of
goods as has been kept by Mr.. Arnstein.
These young men are bound to succeed,
for they are energetic, worthy and relia-
BILE. We bespeak for them liberal pat
ronage. Read their advertisement.
One of the most pleasant events that
has occurred in the city in some time was
the "Leap Year sociable," given by q
number of the young ladies of the city at
the hospitable home of DR.. ]. T. McFall
last Friday evening. There were about
fifteen couples present, with few young
men who were not so fortunate as to have
escorts. The young ladies, though lit
tie timid, (Which was natural, as this was
the first attempt of many Of them to play
the "gallant') were very attentive, and
made the occasion most enjoyable one.
Some of the young men were afraid they
would be "wall-fowers," hut they were
agreeably disappointed, for there were
none. The young ladies have formed
themselves into club, aud propose hav-
ing several similar occasions throughout
the year. We know they will make easuc-
cess of every one of them. Several of the
girls say they mean business, and are de.
termined to make some of our bachelors
say eyes," or take to the woods. Ander-
son has several hard cases among the
bachelors, who have stood the sieges of
many years, and they will be watched
with anxious interest by their friends.
