A few items from onr little town
would not be uninteresting.
Business is flourishing.
Our gin and sawmill continues
to- do a hustling business.
Will Parkhill has moved on the
big hill, where he resides with
Lewis Mhoon.
Crops have turned out much
better than expected before gath
ering.
We are sorry to say that some
of our men and boys have to get
on a drinking spree about once
a week, to the disgrace of the
morals of our little town. Will
men never quit this awful ours,
that brings ruin to both their soul
and body, and despair to their
wives and children.
Amos Hardin will soon move
to the Col. Broyles place that has
recently been vacated by Esq.
Walt. Hall.
G. w. and Mat Shaw have be-
gun a grocery business at Wilton.
Farmers are about through
gathering their crops.
School will open at the Cerro
Gordo Academy the first Monday
in December.
The school at Centerview is run.
ming in full blast.
Miss Sue Garner is not married
yet, but is not the least discour-
aged.
The Berlin Sunday school is
keeping up a good interest, and
some young men attend who live
some eight or ten miles away.
Would it not be nicer if the young
men of our own neighborhood,
would come together each Sunday
and run a Sunday school of our
own-but it seems that we CANT,
so just come on young men we
are glad to have you, and will dc
all we can for you.

Mr.. Editor: Will you please al
low me space in your grand little
paper for a few items.
People here are done gathering
and have their wheat sown.
Weather is so nice that lazy folks
are at work.
The postmaster here says he is
getting very familiar with two OF
the girls at Lowryville by the
boys writing so much.
They say that Miss Sorreltop is
studying for the ministry. If some
folks would put in one hale of
their time in attending to their
business and one half in letting
other folks business alone, and
the remainder in what they please
| think their hair wouldn't get
gray so quick. Miss SOrreltop
| says no harm of any one. She on
ly writes the truth. But that is
what hurts some folks the worst
The public schools here have
started up very nicely for the first
week. Miss Kate Crook of Hen
derson, is teaching at Hickory
Flat. Luck to you Miss Crook.
Tie young people are having g
nice time going to sing mos,
every Sunday.
New citizens are coming to this
place for new year.

JOHN HABBERTON ON TEN.
NESSEE.
To Tennessee's Credit.


Tennessee is to be congratula.
ted on the great success of her
Centennial Exposition, W hic h
closed on the last day of October.
The exhibition was fare finer than
any that the majority Of the visi.
tors had seen; there were no acct.
dents, scandals or swindles of
kinds that have disgraced most
other great expositions; the atten.
dance, aggregated about one and
three-Quarters million persons,
was far greater than any one out
side of Tennessee had believed
probable, and the enterprise paid
its expenses and left no deficit to
fight over-a fact which in itself
should impel other States and sec.
lions, projecting great exhibitions,
to go to Tennessee for their fnan.
cial managers. Best of all, it was
the cause of hundreds of thous-
ands of persons seeing for the
first time some portions of Ten.
nessee-in many respects the
grandest but certainly the least
known of the Central States of the
Union. TO see Tennessee is a
continuous suggestion of the
wonderful possibilities ofAmerican
commonwealths.-FIom Golfers
