MAY A Y,

As our little boat has been safely
harbored once more, we come again
with our buget of items. A good num-
Der of our people went up to Erwin the
16 inst, to take in the reunion; all re.
port a nice as well as an interesting
time. Mrs. d. M. Berry spent a few
days quite recently with her father up
in Unicoi. Mrs. j. III. Moore was the
guest of Grandma Berry one day last
week. Miss Maud Moody, a charming
young lady of Messy Creek, has been
spending a short time with Misses Flor
ence and Naomie Moore near here.
Amanda Eastep went up to Shell Creek
last week to visit home folks, where
she will spend few of the sultry days.
Alice Moore, (colored) Of Knoxville, is
visiting her aunt, Pheba Cox, Of this
place. The summer school which has
been taught by Miss May Kilby, at
Mayberry, closed Wednesday. Miss
May has proved herself worthy of the
place which she has so nobly filled and
we predict for her a bright future. j.
G. Berry will 60 down to Timber Ridge,
Greene County, the 23d, to attend the
Holston Presbytery. The Riverside
Debating Society has been moved from
the TAYLOR school house to Bethesda; it
will convene on each Wednesday night;
everybody is invited to come. The
Haynes and Brown water melon firm
shipped their first load of melons to
Erwin las. Thursday. Miss Mary
Haynes, who has been visiting home
folks for the past week, returned to
johnson City Saturday, where she is
staying with s.. H. Pouder. Quite a
number of our citizens went up to
Judge Browns meeting last Monday
that they might view his remains ere
he starts over the hill. Embree Jones,
of FEBRUARY, was paying his respects to
one of our young ladies q few days
since. Come again Embree, as your
genial face is always welcomed by the
fair sex. Rev. F. F. Dobson and sister,
Miss May, IN accomplished young
lady of Broylesville, spent Thursday
with Miss Matte Brown down on the
river. Messrs. Jarrett and Wilds gave
James Haynes a call a few nights since
on their way home from where they
have been attending the reunion near
Erwin. John Walters, a poor laboring
man, some time since had his house
and almost every thing in it consumed
by fire. Supposed to have caught from
the stove. A man by the name of Car
ter and Floyd Berry. who have been
digging q we'll for Mrs. w. E. Kilby,
came very near losing their lives a few
days since by being struck with gas on
entering the we'll. Our ex-district
sheriff, jeff Fields, was around q short
time since on a collecting mission. JEFF
is one of the best collectors the Fourth
district has ever had and we are GER
tainly sorry to give him over, but per.
haps some will see their error and
change before 1896. Will Swingle was
down from johnson City Monday look
ing after the interest of his farm. Geo.
Sliger, (coloredl has been very low
with fever; but by the assistance of DIR.
Jones he is convalescing slowly. Louis,
son of G. H. hardwood, who is staying
at Clark's Springs, was up on the river
a few days last week. Rev. Jas. Bass,
of Burnsville, N. c., conducted q few
days meeting at Bethesda last week.
E. s. Brown was up from the Springs a
few days this week enjoying the water
melon harvest. SAILOR.
