SHADY Grove.

As "itemiZer's" are requested to gtst
"the news" and having done so to stol'
writing, our communication this week
will necessarily be brief.
SHADY is very quiet now, except for
the rum le of multitud nous drummers,
carts, and the sound OF the wOrkmen
rebuilding the "burnt district"
ESQ. Il. A. Smith is having erected a
neat two-stOry building for the use OF
DR.. Allen and Mr.. John Leek, AS an
Office and shop.
Miss Mamie Baker, of Kettle Mills.
who has been spending some time with
relatives here, returned 10 her home
Miss Minnie Webb and Mr.. John
Reayes, of Lick Creek, visited Miss
OreI HARRISON last week.
Mr.. Frank GiIleth Smith, son OF Capt.
r. ID, Smith, of the Athen8um, was in
the village last week, in the interest Of
the school.
Mr.. Phillips, agent for D. H. Bald
wins Music House, "Interviewed"
some OF our citizens recently.
BV-the-way, our town Is ripe with
curiosity to know what became ola GER
tain ssProt. J. d. French" who disap-
peared so mysterlOusly from our City
Hotel recently. He descended one
evening from CentreVllle hack, put
up at tho Miller House, and proceeded
to ingratitate himself in the favor of the
good people of the town; distributing
circulars he obtained permission to
give a series of lectures in the church
on the "short method" of teaching
music. He was getting on swimming
w." but while at tea at his boarding
mousse, another actor appeared on the
scene. i Mr.. Phillips arrived in town,
claiming to be an agent for ID. II. Bald
win Dc Co. of Nashville. We kinder
thought they were OVERRIDING the music
business; having two agents from the
same house in one day, as the first
claimed to be agent for Baldwin. Mr..
Phillips put up at the hospltaole nome
of Il. \. Smith, and on learning of the
presence of the other, sent request for
''Prof. French" to call on him after tea.
He arose, donned his overcoat, and
stepped out, but Mr.. Phillips has not
met him as yet, neither has any one
heard or seen anything OF "Prof.
French" or his system of emusic in the
air." If we cannot hear of him, we
hope to- prevent his hoaxing others.
