A number of our people went up to

horses. There was a spelling match

was largely attended by all sexes, sects

Honorable County Court have located

WASHINGTON COLLEGE.

Since our last talk to the Herald and
Tribune there has been two burials at
Salem Cemeterv-the remains of Nor
rison Brobeck and Samuel McAlister.
DIR. Dobson reports that there are no Sc
rious cases of sickness in this vicinity at
present. The lectures delivered at Col
lege Chapel by the Hon. :. NJ. ArnelI
were highly appreciated by large audi
ences; hope the gentleman will be with
us again in the near future. W.. T.. Hem
son, after an absence of eight months in
Hawkins County, teaching a high school
at Church Hill, has returned to his home
at f.. 5. Mathes'. 1t was announced at
church Sunday that James Mathes. of
Tusculum, died at 6 o'clock AM, the
18th. Mr.. Mathes was well and favor
ably. known at this, the place where he
was born and raised, leaves MANY rela-
tives and friends here to regret his early
demise. We learn that the Rev. Landon,
OF Johnson City, has refused the pastoral
call given him by Salem congregation,
because the call was not loud enough in
dollars and cents; we hope the Lord
will open the spiritual ear Of someone
else. The Salem Sabbath School an
pointed as delegates to attend the Sab
bath School Convention atJohnson CITY
on the 18th and l4th, Misses Davis and
DlXon and Messrs. Gaines and Hugh
Cooter. All parties interested were
highly elated when DIR. Dobson an
nounced that the Sabbath School would
hold an Easter service in the new
church; that lei that church and
Sabbath School services in the future
will be thankful for the change from the
College Chapel where the work has
been so much crowded. The new church
editice has been erected at a sacrifice of
many who contributed to the work. The
congregation are now ready and anxious
to support with a liberal salary some
good, live minister; these are DAYS of
small prices and OF ~retrenchment and
reform may the Lord put it into the
heart of the ministry with Christian
benevolence, conform to the exigency
of the times. OBsERSEp

and did not do so until September last,
