after more than three months absenc,
in his work as ~synodical missionary
There is no n who's return and pres
ence is hailed with more joy than Mr.

Qnite q revival meeting has been in
progress at Bells school house, three
miles east of this place for some time
The meeting is being conducted by the
Rev. Nelson, of the Methodist Episco'
pal Church, north, Many conversions
are reported and many backsliders re.
claimed. Let all such good work 60
on.
Glad Bristol has a pipe organ. II
seems that this is the first one they
eve saw from the general rush and
comment it has caused. In charity
let us say the advance price is the at
traction and not the organ. When you
get tired of the music of the organ
come and hear u girls sing. Hello
Nip" won't you take US up on thisp
The Jonesboro graded school opened

at their respective posts. The teachers
from abroad are Prof. Jas. R. Burch-
field, of Maryville. Miss Minnie Kelley.
of Virginia and Miss Bette Browder,
of Sweetwater. This session gives
promise of prosperity. See that your
children go.
Rev. w. j. Howell, whose call to the
pastorate of the Baptist Church at this
place we mentioned last week, accep,
ted the same Sunday night after SER
mon. This insures services at this
church twice every Sabbath. All are
invited to attend. Mr.. Howell is quite
a young man but a good preacher and
most heartily welcomed as a pastor of
the town.
Speaking of big things: Capt. Nc
Pherson showed us a sunfower that he.
raised this year which measures fifteen
inches in diameter. 1t would answer
as a sunshade for some of our young
ladies'. Thos. Grills was exhibiting a
nutmeg melon of his own raising, a
few days ago, which weighed fifteen
pounds. We thought we we're high
buck on melons, until this one was
reported.
At a festival held by the negro popu-
lation at the blacksmith shop of A. B.
Cummings last Friday night a strange
darby by the name of Henry Began
was badly carved in the back by Cal
Stuart of this place. Saturday norm
ing Marshall Campbell commenced to
look for Cal, but too late, for he had
skipped to parts unknown. Boot Smith
was taken before Recorder Keefauver
and fined for taking part in the affair.
DR.. Jacob Leah left last Saturday
morning for Indianapolis to be present
during the encampment of the G. A. R.
He will go on to Chicago and become
one of the attractions of the Midway
Plaisance, no doubt. Some have cir
culated the report that he is after the
Ferris Wheel to be used as the front
wheel of a new bycicle he is having
built for use between Jonesboro aid
Locust MI. This rumor is somewhat
vague, and we place but little faith in
1t. The pick story of last year will be
remembered by the Doctors friends.
On last Wednesday night near nine
o'clock a young maj of medium size,
called at the grocery store of j. H.
Haw's and asked clerk, Chas. Babb
for a plug of Greeneville tobacco, worth
ten cents, whereupon he threw down
on the counter what Babb supposed to
be a good dollar, and taking his change
and tobacco the young gentleman with
drew, thinking perhaps that an inves-
tigation might follow. Babb not liking
the greasy feeling of the coin opened
the cash drawer and took it out and
soon decided that the dollar was u
terfeit. 1t is hoped that the young
man will be caught and dealt with &C.
cording to law. You would do we'll to
look at change in the presence of the

Mrs. Mollie NJ. Powell, wife of Joseph
L. Powell, died at her home in Bristol
Monday night. She has been unwell
for a long time, and her death was not
unexpected to friends and relatives
who knew her condition. Mrs. Powell

ian Church conducted by Rev. G. A.
Duncan, were taken to the family grave
yard on Cherokee for interment. The
sympathy of our people was manifested
by q large attendance at the funeral.
