THE transfer of Rev w. H. Hutch
ins from Greensborough to TiltOn, N. |
H., will probably call Rev. E. z. |
White, of Smyrna circuit, to succeed |
him, and Mr.. White be followed by |
Rev. S. M. Morgan, of Townsend. |
This change would have been carried |
out this week but for the difficulty of
getting at once a young theological
student to take the Townsend ap-
pOintment.
JOHN G. BAILEY, who has made a
number of improvements to his prop
erty while at the same time giving con-
siderable employment to mechanics, is
finishing up with new Office more
than double the size of the former one,
which will have more conveniences
every way, including a private room.
In the work on the dwelling, in addi-
ton to that heretofore spoken of, the
tinise in the brick work and moulding
called for some very excellent mechan-
ical skill by Messrs. Bell & White.
JOSEPH SNIITHERs is making impor-
tant changes in his residence. The
roof is to be replaced by new high
pitched projecting roof with dOrmer
windows, extended likewise over the
gables, with the usual finish. The
windows have been enlarged, a new
dress of weather boarding will be added
and other changes made, giving it a
very different appearance from the
present structure. No very material
changes as we understand, are to be
made in the interior arrangements.
IT is stated of a young man who went
a courting on a recent Sunday evening
that he fell asleep while sitting on the
sofa, and it wasn't at such late hour
either. In this interesting state of af-
fairs the young lady left him to his
peaceful slumbers, and when he awOke
he found himself all alone. He stole
away without waking the dogs, quietly
resolving that next time he will moi
rob Saturday night of what belongs tC
it, when he expects to go and see {
country young lady.
