Revival at Unitia.

Unitia has just experienced one of
the most wonderful revivals of reli-
gion that has been know there for
years. Rev. J. T. Sexton, the IA
nous blacksmith preacher, conducted
the meeting, and during the ten days
of the meeting there were forty-three
who protested Christ, among whom
were some Of the most hardened sim
ners of that community. Not only
has the meeting done good among
the sinners, but many cold church
members have been warmed up and
renewed their vows with God. Never
before has such unifying power
among the Christian workers been
witnessed. While Mr.. Sexton is not
an educated man, he seems full to
overlooking with the Holy Spirit, to
which is attributed his great success.
This meeting has been more largely
attended than any meeting held in
Unina for many years. Taken all in
all this is one Of the most wonderful
meetings ever known in that section,
and the prayers Of the people of this
place go with Brother Sexton in the
good work that he is doing. He left
Unitia to go into a meeting at Sweet
water, where we hope that the Lord
will bless his labors as He did in the
meeting just concluded.

GOSSIP AND CHAT.


A young fellow by the name of
John Hatcher was arrested the first CT
last week by Constable Chas Kirk Of
this place after he had been chased
for some time by deputy sheriff and
constable of Knox County. Hatcher
had been living with his brother-in-
law near Tipton's station in Knox CO.
Mrs. Johnson, widow of VIM. John
son sent her little fourteen year-old
daughter to the station for the mail
After she had left the station about
one hundred yards HATCHERY whom
she had passed, called to her and
started to run towards her. The girl
at once OWNED he was coming with
evil intent, and her fright braced ev-
cry nerve in her and she fairly few.
He pursued her over half a mile when
she actually succeeded in out-winding
him and he stopped. She, however,
kept on, supposing he was till in .pur-
suit, and as she reached the cabin by
the colQred family Of Jerry Gray, and
fell fainting in the doorway. She
could not have fallen in better hands,
for these colored people have always
lived there and are respected by all,
Mrs. Gray was terribly frightened,
and sent her children to tell the girls
mother to come quick, as some
thing awful had happened to Pearly.
The poor girls heavy head of hair
was wringing wet when she fell in at
Mrs. Gray's door, and she has been
badly used by the fright and her ter
rible exertions to escape the young
fend. The parents of this young
scamp, Mr.. and Mrs. Noah Hatcher are
good respectable people and the sym
pathy of many hearts goes out tC
them in their sadness over the acts OF
their hayward son.

a New Bell.

There was a church festival and
picnic at the new church near He
bronville last Saturday. We under
stand that the proceeds are to be used
in purchasing a bell. 1t is to be
hoped that an amount sufficient to Sc
cure good one was raised as it is
now almost necessity for church
building to have clear toned bell to
ring out its sweet sounding invitation
to all to enter the house of God and
worship. 1t is an inspiration to any
community.

A Rlount county noy shot.

Word reached here of a big row at
Asheville, N. c., in which six men
engaged in shooting at each other.
Five Of the men were killed outright,
and Jim "Crow" Dunlap, whose home
is near Ellejoy, in this county, was
dangerously wounded and not ex-
pected to live. The trouble COM
menced over a woman. Dunlap was
book agent, and we suppose he was
'canvassing Ashevllle when the dis
graceful affair occurred.

A Musical Treat.

Such was the verdict of a large ma
jority Of those who attended the con
cert at Columbian Hall Thursday
night. There was music to suit the
taste of everybody. Mrs. Bartlett
and Miss Mary Mathis furnished
piano music, Prof. Newman, Miss
Johnnie Gates and Miss Stella Eakin
sang sweet solos. The Male Quar-
tette, composed Of Profs. Newman
and Golf and Daunt Newman and
Boyd Parker pleased everybody.
Miss Flora Henry presided at the
piano with entire satisfaction. The
Caldwell family, who are old favor
ties with Maryville audience, pleased
as of Fore with the harp, banjo and
two guitars. The new feature of the
entertainment was the excellent string
music furnished by Mr.. Chas. Jones
and two sons. The reputation of this
musical family had preceded them
to Maryville, and many were anxious
to have the privilege Of hearing them.
Little Ole Jones is a wonderful mas.
ter of that liking of instruments" the
violin, and he was given numerous
encores. Master Moultry made some
sweet music with his banjo, I'd when
we hear Mr.. Jones play it is easy tc

j. X. Martin, Company T., First

writes: There was no cavalry rcgi-
mcnt in the West who served rs loiig
or did more nrduous and dangerous
service than the First Iowa. We fought
Price and Marmaduke all through and
out of Missouri, hunted down and
broke up the Anderson guerrillas

and after the Red River campaign
were sent up the river To Memphis,
where we soon met and whipped For
rests men; and finally, when we should
have been sent home. instead, I'm May,
1865, were sent down the rive TO Ba-
ton Rouge, La, where we came under
Clusters command. There is no doubt
but what complaints we made To
Gen. Custer about us. Comrades of the
First will remember that even Gen,
Davidson had no use for us Mt first, till
II squad of our boys dashed in and drew
oil by hand four small guns he had
given 10 his pet regiment the Thir-
tpenth Illinois. After that we found
favor with him, aud the liking was
mutual, as was shown when the pri-
Yates of our regiment presented him
with "a sword costing over thousand
dollars. While it is true that we suf-
fercd some hard treatment ut the
hands of Gen. Custer, yet we know
that he was "a brave officer, and had we
had been with him ut an earlier date
would soon have commanded his re-
spect and admiration. Now that he Is
dead, dying the death of a soldier up
on the field Of battle, and by the hands
of savagcs, let us drop the mantle of
charity over his mistakes, for who
does not make some, and only remem-
Der that he was brave and dashing

TT BEATS THE WORLD.
OUR NEW CRUISER THE FAST
+. EST EVER BUILT
Tho New York Breaks tho Record of
All Navies by Working a Speed of
aI.os Knots-European Fast Ships
Laid In tho Shade.

BosToN, Mass, May 2i--With for
ward torpedo tubes buried deep in the
sea and the water pushed almost as
high as her forecastle, the armored
cruiser New York steamed across the
line, breaking the worlds record and
winning for her builders the largest
premium ever paid in any country.
When twenty-one knots was predicted
as the speed for the new cruiser many
hoped, but few believed that her en-
gines would ever be able to drive
such an immense mass of steel through
the water Mt this rate. When she
crossed the line, however, with speed
OF 2l.09 knots through the water, and
some corrections yet to be added for
tide, the enthusiasm on board was in
tense.
To-day's performance of the Massa-
chusetts coast will be echoed from
one end OF Europe to the other, for it
places the United States in the van
among the navies OF the world and
gives us not only the most powerful
but the swiftcst armored cruising YES
sci. =,
There has been great enthusiasm in
England over the performances of the
cruisers Blake and Blenheim, some
claiming that the latter had attained
speed of % knots. In the first place
these vessels are not armored, but
simply protected bv four-inch decks
over machinery and boilers, Even equal
speed for them therefore would be
nothing remarkable against vessel
carving in addition to six-inch pro.
tective deck fve-inch side belt and
two turretS, each eleven inches thick
In the second place, neither of the
vessels has ever had an official trial
over a measured course. The Blake
broke down from leaky boilers after
reaching speed of 10 7-10 miles in shoal
water, and developing only 10, 200 horse
power, while the Blenheim was gagged
only by a patent log, which, it is
claimed, indicated 22H knots. This
same instrument on board the New
York showed a speed of % knots, and
the difference between that and the
actual distance covered is proof of
how unreliable patent logs are as Off
cial tests

CHICAGO, May 22.--On the Board OF Trade
there was ses-saw market In wheat dur
ing the morning. The trading was not
heavy or important. There was an cary
bulge Of &c on buying by shorts, and some
4, OF support by operators who worked for
g reaction from the decline OF last week.
Later there was second bulge on some
sensational shot wind" dispatches
from Kansas, aud an estimate of
only 15,OO0,000 blu wheat for the
State wired from Mcpherson, Kas. The
selling on the second bulge wa on the pres
pect Of another disappointing decreas In
the visible supply. The visiDIe supply re-
port dragged and was the uncertain feat
ure The July price started at 74c end
bulged TO 1850, dropped to 74}sc, bulged to
79asc, dropped az ain to A. &c and held after
midday at 744c September was quoted
Sc over July all the morning. The final
decrease was posted at IL o'clock at ], l90,-
900, or nearly q million bushel short of the
early estimate. The figures caused no i'm
mediate change in the market.
The corn market followed wheat in
slow way during the morning, but after
midday acted strong and independent.
The receipts wore up to the large Saturday
estimate at 300 ,cars. Later the Tuesday
receipts were estimated at $40 cars. On
the other hand, the withdrawals were
liberal at 232,0J0 bu. 1t was thought the
best buying OF the day was by shorts. This
was on the talk OF colder weather and pos
sible injury to the crop Not few were
covering Ter a natural reaction, expecting
to put the corn out again at better prices.
The July sold Al &c to Ale to 4lIfc to lHc,
and late in the day to 4l9sc, holding around
4lHc, fraction better than Saturday.
September sold Acc to 1890 to 421sc to
425kc, holding 42Xc.
There was no feature to the provision

being no trade. On the extreme dullness
there was decline of Be in ribs, nc in

Laudable as the desire to make every

large wages by hiring out as he had
no farm of his own, To the various
farmers who needed extra help. Sans
chief fault was his apparent inability
to refuse To- do anything for any one
who asked him.
Once when farm hands were scarce,
one man had secured Sans servi c at
the beginning of the harvest. The
first day, while the two were at work,
another farmer came up and asked
Sam To help him the next day.
"Ill see what | ken do for ye," said
Sam, encouragingly.
Presently another farmer came along,
asked the same question and received
the same answer.
The farmer for whom he was work
ing was somewhat indignant and
amazed at Sans evident intention To
assist three different people on the
same day.

to do? First you promised to help me
tomorrow, and now you've agreed to
help two others. What doyou mean?e
