"A party of ten or twelve Warren
House guests made trip to Nichol-

tongue and the lead horses ran away.
One of the horses received some Sc

We are glad to see McMinnville
= news appearing in the Nashville
g American again with some degree of
D regularity, and we hope the new cor
I respondent will continue to give that
paper the genuine news of the place,

fairs and various advantages, but no
: spreading or stretching of things after
J. the order of the Americans former
K Tullahoma correspondent. McMinn-
S vile does not need any putting after
: the boom order. We have solid,
d substantial, growing town, entirely
free from effervescent features. Our
!. population is increasing, not rapidly,
v but steadily, our manufacturing in
l. dustries are enIarging their facilities
v and expanding their trade, and all
Il lines of business show a healthy
O growth each succeeding year. We
e are always glad to see any of our ad-
vantages or attractions set forth in
the public press, but like to see all
