PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
F, E. MOORE Pastor.

The return of the students are
anxiously looked for, by the Sabbath
school and church, as we'll as the
other societies of the church.
The pastor with number of our
most active workers are out in the
mountains taking things cody, and
recuperating for the work in the fall
Rev. Herman A. Golf occupied
the pulpit Sabbath, and preached a
sermon, that was practical and to the
point, and appeared rather short.
The day was distressingly hot and
uncomfortable. In the evening, the
storm prevented any services, as ii
came just in time to prevent the con-
gregation from coming out, and il
was of the kind that takes courage
unusual to face, even when one is in
the house. The discharges of elec.
tricity from the clouds put out the
lights in the church and played
fantasies around the audience room.
1t helps church to have some
grand enterprise on hands. While
New Providence was building, the
payments to the salary of the minis
ter increased about three hundred
dollars, the contribute IS to the diff
ferent benevolent objects of the
church increased in like proportion,
and at the same time, near twelve
thousand dollars was raised for build
ing the house, inside of the congre.
cation. Since the completion there
has been falling off. We need tc
undertake some other great enterprise
An adjourned meeting Of the congre.
CATION was held last Sabbath to heal
the reports Of committees heretofore
appointed to raise funds for the sup.
port of the church. For number O.
years it was not necessary to appoin
such committees, for the funds were
raised easily, and at the end of tht
year, there was surplus. Now a
the end of a two weeks canvass ther,
is still a deficit, and the prospects ar,
gloomy.

A KITCHEN CABINET.
Maryvills Mans Patent. Ladies'
should see 1t.

t. r. Chambers, Of our town, has
a kitchen cabinet patented which is
one OF the handiest things for the kit
chen ever yet produced. He has
one on exhibition at J. H. Bright's
Racket Store and every lady should
60 see it and then you will never see
how you can get along without one.
The Chambers, Kitchen Cabinet is
time and step saver. Every family
should be supplied with one as they
are so convenient. They are made
so that no flies, bugs, or dust can get
into the meal and -four. 1t has
dough board made of wood or mar
Bile that slides on gibbs over the bins
which is very handy always at the
right place and just the right height
for working and kneeding the dough
and it takes the place of the kitchen
table. 1t also has four drawers locat-
ed between the meal and flour bins;
the uppermost drawer has six COM
partments for pepper, spice, nut meg,
ginger, cinnamon and cloves; and.
drawer has three compartments for
salt, soda and baking powders; 3rd.
drawer has two compartments for the
tea and coffee or green and brown
coffee; the 4th. drawer is large
drawer for sugar, will hold 90 or as
lbs.
The following is testimonial from
one who has used one of the cabinets
and you will be just as enthusiastic if
you use one awhile.
TESTIMONIAL.
Nebo, KY, April aS, 90.
Strive have been using one Of
Chambers Kitchen cabinets for about
two years and think it is the best
thing of the kind we ever saw. NV
wife says she would not give it up for
three times what it cost us. We don't
see how we did without it as long as
we did. 1t will please anyone that
will use it. The longer they use it,
the better they will like it. 1t is well
worth the money.
Respectfully,

A later account in the Knoxville
Sentinel says that Col. Boone had
signed a contract with the directors of
the Black Diamond for constructing
the road for eleven million dollars.
1t further says:
Col. Boone thereby assumes the
whole responsibility of building the
road. He has secured the money
and will put the bonds in escrow as
security.
This is rather startling news to
many since only short time since
there seemed to be general weak
ening in the Boone forces and some
of his staunchest followers gave evil
dence Of falling out, but now the
Board of Directors appears to be re,
juvenated and every member is en-.
thusias,ic over the project. In talk
with a director yesterday he stated
that the board was more confident
than ever in Col. Boone's ability to
carry the project to completion.
They claim that he has the money
and that it is the only essential to
build the road.
All the old directors have come
back into the fold and the Boone
Railway enterprise is progressing in
the old time style.

COL. BOONE.
Has Resigned as President and
Contracted to Construct the road.

Has Resigned as President and
Contracted to Construct the road.
Second only to the present political
agitation in Tennessee is the scheme
of Col. Albert E. Boone to build a
double tract railroad from Jellico to
the sea.
Knoxville and the immediate vicln-
ity have been the base of Col. Boene's
operations for the past two years and
the people are anxiously awaiting the
consummation on this well-lain plan
and the beginning of the active con-
struction of the road.
Col. Boone has worked hard ever
since the first day he arrived in Knox
vile for the success of his scheme
and he now believes he is nearer the
goal than he ever has been before.
So strong is his belief that he has only
recently resigned the presidency OF
the companies which he has been the
promoter Of and now goes into the
money centers of the world with his
plans and estimates and can assure
his followers that he will have the
money to build the greatest trunk line
that the South has ever seen.
His object IN resigning the presi'
dency of the corporations was to Sc
cure the money and take the con
tracts for the construction Of the road
which has for so long been his high
est ambition. During his stay in
Knoxville he has met with many OBJ.
stacles which have been deliberately
thrown in his way, but he has Tough
his way through in spite Of all these
and he now promises those who have
stood by him that the Black Diamond
system of railroads will soon be re-
ality and not a project.
| Col. Boone is now assured that ths
money will be forthcoming to success
fully carry out his plans. He has en-
couraging news from his agent il
Europe, but is not yet in position
to announce when he is ready to bic
for the contract, or to begin the &C
tive construction of the road. H,
will first ask for the contract of build
ing the road from Jellico to Knoxvill
and the belt line enclrcling this city
after which he says that there will b.
no trouble about securing the none,
to push the work on South and finall
to tide waite at either Port Royal
, Charleston or Savannah.
The correspondence on the subjee
is something wonderful, and there
not day passes that he does not re
cieve some word of encouragement
or letter asking for his plans as
the portion of the road which wi
; pass through North and South Care
; limo and Georgia. Knoxville Sent
