is the largest number ever attending
Normal in the county and is the re-
suit of the earnest and effective work
of our County Superintendent Robt.
Walker. Under the efficient manage
ment of Prof. +. M. Gill the teachers
are inspired with interest and this
promises to be in every way the most
successful Normal ever held in the
county. More teachers are yet ex-
pected. Several other counties are
also represented.
The penurious habit of borrowing a
neighbor's paper to read, just to save
the trAing amount Of the subscription,
must have been in vogue from time
immemorial. The Cleveland Banner
of August IS, 1867, twenty eight
years ago had the same kind of peo-
pie to contend with as papers of this
day. 1t said: "a man who won't
take paper because he can borrow
one, should invent machine with
which he can cook his dinner with
the smoke from his neighbor's chin

This meeting was in the Baptist
Church. Allow me space in your
paper to say few things about our
meeting which lasted fifteen days and
conducted by Rev. ]. T. Sexton, of
your city, who is one of the most
unique characters | ever met, mighty
in the faith. This city is moved as
never before, every body awakened.
We had S. conventions. The meeting
closed last Sunday night, leaving at
least IS requests for prayer. May
"God bless Bro. Sexton" and send
him back to us again.. H. John
ston, Hill City, Tennessee.
Rev. c. B. Sparrow, formerly
Pastor of the M. E. Church at this
place, now in charge of work in
New York, is visiting among his
rmany friends at this place. He
preached most excellent sermon
Sabbath morning in the M. E. church
from the text "Though he slay me,
yet will | serve him." His subject
was the trials Of this life and how to
meet them. Rev. Sparrow is well
liked here by all denominations for
his genial disposition and liberality.
He attended the big Epwcrth League
Convention at Chattanooga.
Robt Rule, son Of our County
Trustee, is sick of fever at the home
of Capt. McAnally in Rice, Texas.
Bob was born and raised in this
county and by his honesty and will
ingness to work won host of friends
here in this home county, who anx-
iously wait for news from him and
hope to hear right soon Of his entire
restoration to health. We know it is
counted hardship to be sick away
from home, but we are assured that
he is in the care of kind friends who
will do ali they can for him and ii
will no doubt be help as well as a
pleasure for him to know that friends
in his old home have not forgotten
him.
The Maryville Light and Power
company has bought something over
half an acre of ground adjoining, the
Creamery and are fixing up prepara-
tory to moving to that portion Of the
town. A new seventy horse boiler
and fifty horse engine has beer
bought and put in position. A brick
boiler room 15x2S is nearly complied
while the dinamo room is frame

company in better position to give
the town lights and at the same time
should there be general desire they
can put in water works with yer,
