The Editor on his vacation writes
some notes OF Interest.


lockwood, Tenn, Aug. "A. 1865
Last Thursday morning in COM
pany with my better half ! started on
a two weeks vacation.
Upon reaching Knoxville the first
person we met was T. "Jud." Miles,
now principal of the Grassy Cove
Academy, but formerly student Of
Maryville College and graduate of
that institution. Like newspaper
men are at all times, l was ready
with a question:-"Well what's the
news3" He answered that he had
been in Blount and was stalking her
back with him that she was up in
town." While was trying to make
up my mind as to whether it was a
joke or the truth, he rushed off down
the depot stairs and with great energy
and great deal of preparation, he
commenced to unload trunks, boxes,
etc. and l concluded he had spoken
the truth for had ben theere myself.
When l got him sober--he wasn't
drinking only excited--enough to talk
in tolerably coherent manner l
found the following facts which will
be OF interest to the many friends Of
the young people in Blount county.
Prof. I. J. Miles was united in
marriage to Miss Nola Malcomk at
the home Of the brides parents NEAR
Eucebia, Blount County. Rev. John
Alexander, pastor in charge Of the
Presbyterian Church at Rockford, per.
formed the ceremony. Prof. Sam'l
7. Wilson, Of Maryville College, and
Rev. W. d. Malcome the brides
brother who is now in charge Of a
church at Attalissa, Iowa, were pre-
sent and did all in their power to
make the occasion a success.
The wedding occurred on Wednes-
day, which was the Ruby wedding Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Malcome. All Of the
brothers and sisters-eight in all
were there-and taken altogether, the
occasion was most happy one and
long to be remembered by those
present. A host Of friends in Bloun,
County and large circle Of school
friends will join with the writer in
wishing the happy young people all
the 10y possible in their life.
Thursday night it was jolly party
left Knoxville together on the Harri.
man train, Mr.. and Mrs. Miles, Mr.,
Brittian and the Editor and wife ant
we must not neglect to mention the
jolly little Americanized dutchman,
Louis J. Scholl, editor Of thu
Clinton Gazette, who is always ready
to keep pace going when there is an,
merriment on the boards. Rev. w
d. Malcome, also Maryville colleg,
graduate was in the crowd.
AT Oak Dale the party separated
Mr.. Scholl, Prof. and Mrs. Mile.
and Mrs. L. S. Goddard stopping 70,
F., the night at that place where the,
were to take the morning tain soutf
to Spring City and lockwood. The
rest Of the party three in number
went on to Cincinnati.
Mr.. Britain was on his way tc
West Virginia where he has some
very valuable oil land leased and will
commence drilling as soon as he
arrived there. He also has some
Tennes see land, in Fentress county,
under lease which is very valuable on
account ofthe oil deposits, but he
doesn't intend drilling in this state ye,
as the land Is so far from market. Mr..
Brittian is hustler and knows good
thing when he sees it as attested by
the tact dbe has large interests in the
Marble quarters Of Blount County.
Rev. Malcome was on his way to
Iowa where he will resume his work
as minister and the writer was
simply going to the Buckeye state to
see the sights. Reaching Cincinnati
at 7:ao o'clock in the morning we
parted Messers. Bittian and Malcome
going their seperate routes and l, like
all visitors to the Queen city, found
street car going out to the Zoologi-
cal Gardens and there l spent most
Of the day watching and studying the
habits of the many different kinds Of
birds, ANIMALS and reptiles kept there
