The name given the club is ''Greenville
Democratic Club"
1t organized with a membership of 1873,
which will be very largely increased as the
campaign advances. Quite large crowd had
assembled in the town with the expectation
of hearing speeches from Hon. Harry Tucker
and Mr.. Glasgow of your place, Gas both of
these gentlemen were advertised to speak on
Saturday night, but we were doomed to dis
appointment as neither of the gentlemen put
in an appearance, owing, we suppose, to the
train on the B. IL o. Road being about four
hours late. We hope, however, that each of
them will give us talk during the campaign.
As for Harry, we know him, have heard him,
and large crowd will give him hearty greet
ing whenever he sees fit and can make il con-
vcnient to speak to the Old Democracy of
Riverheads District We all here say, "Hur-
rah for Cleveland Stevenson and Tucker"
DIR. B. r. Smith and family of Rush Run,
w. Va, are here on visit to their parents
and friends of this place and Middlebrook.
We are glad to see the DIR. looking so well.

West Virginia must agree with him. They
will return to their home in week or ten
days.
Hon. f. Ronzie Stephens of Linncns, Mo-,
has been here visiting his Aunt, Mrs. John B.
Smith. He speaks very encouragingly of the
outlook of Cleveland and Stevenson, says the
third party move is mere nothing in his sec
ton of Missouri.
Rev. J. w. Wolfe, former paster of the NJ.
E. Church. South, here, still comes back to see
us every. few weeks. His many friends here
are always glad to see him. Report has it
that there must be some special attraction
here for him; time will tell
Rev. c. w. Merryman, former pastor of the
Greenville Baptist church, and his lady, now
of Baltimore, have lately given their many
friends here a short visit. We were
glad to see them both looking so we'll They
returned to their home few days since.
Mr.. G. b. Jones is carrying on Bush meet
ing near the Pine Chapel. We understand
the meeting is well attended; hope it may be
the means of accomplishing much good.
Rev. Mr.. Tribbett of Jackson, Tenn. preach
ed very interesting sermon in the Green
vile Baptist Church on last Sunday. He is a
son-in-law of Capt. lack Rawlings of Vesu-
vius.
Capt. c.. g. Merritt has had his home filled
with summer bOarders. From all appearan-
ces, they have had very pleasant time, as
the Misses Merritt have faithfully performed
their duty in trying to make their stay an en-
joyable one.
We had fine rain here few days since, |
the first for several weeks-am afraid it came
too late to do the corn much good, but will
greatly benefit the late pasture, and enable |
the farmers to do some plowing as it has
been so dry here that very little has been
