The Western North Carolina Con-
ference of the NJ. f. Church, South,
convenes in Asheville tomorrow.
We hope to he able to give the ap-
pOintments for the Franklin Dis
trict in our next issue.
The woods i'm the immediate vi
entity of Murphy were on fire Fri
day. night, and the mountains and
hillSides presented a Iurid and pic
turesque slght-one which always
charms and delights the stranger
within our gates.
Rev. J. S. Burnett, of the NJ. E.
Church of Winston, N. c., preached
in Murphy on last Thursday night.
His discourse lasted about 80 minutes,
and his Leautiful flow of language
and zeal for the Master held the
audience profoundly attentive.
Rev. VIM. Franklin, of the NJ. E.
Church, who has charge of the Muir
ply Circuit, will preach here in the
presbyterian church on the 9Th
Sunday in this month. Mr.. Franklin
is a young and earnest minister of
the gospel, and will no doubt do
splendid work in this county.
There is TO reason why any man
should deprive his family of a good
newspaper. They do not go out
from home to learn the news, and a
good paper serves to relieve some of
the other wise lonely hours. 1t
is the worst possible economy to de-
prive your family of local news
paper.
This morning we were awakened
by the welcome patter of rain, and,
while the heavy clouds of yesterday
betokened rain, yet we had hoped
in vain for a refreshing shower so
long that we had about despaired.
This Is the first rain of any copse-
quence that has fallen here in six or
eight weeks.
J. L Smathers, the clever and &C
commodatlng agent of the r. s.. d.
R'y at Murphy, informs us that
tickets to the amount of $40 .65 were
sold to parties who attended Federal
court at Asheville L week, besides
there was large number who walked.
The Richmond & Danville makes a
big scoop during the semi-anual ses-
sions of Federal court.
- Tie literary exercises of the Sons
of Temperance last Friday night
were highly entertaining and in
structive, the participants acquitting
themselves with honor. On next Fri
day night an original essay will BIZ
read by Mrs. w. o. Patton, and L. +.
Mauney will read a beautiful poem.
We hope to see large crowd pres
ent at these exercises.
On last Sunday morning at II
o'clock Rev. J. O. Shelley preached
his closing sermon for the conference
year to a large concourse of anx-
ious hearers. He refused to say
farewell to a people whose kindness
could never be forgotten. His
burning words of truth made an
impression upon the church that
years will not obliterate.
The Entertainment Committee of
the Sons of Tenn ,'erance have de-
cided on presenting the drama, "The
Temperance Doctor" and the laugh
able,comedy, "Heads or Tails? ?" The
cast of characters have been per-
fected, and the first rehearsal will
occur tonight at the Academy. Let
each one be on hand promptly, and
every member is expected to work
for its success.
