Memphis Packet for Reunion.

A letter from r. w. Wise, Super
iendent Of the Memphis, New Or
leans and Cincinnati Packet Co., to
Henry Moffett, concerning the trip
Of the steamer Sunshine to Memphis
for the Forrest Camp, May 2s-30,
gives the following information.
Those desiring to take advantage
of this trip must notify Mr.. Moffett
as early as possible to secure state
rooms.
"Referring to the Confederate
Reunion at Memphis Our present
plan is to have Str. Sunshine take
this excursion, leaving Cincinnati
Thursday, May %, due at Hickman
about Sunday May rs about 8 p.
M, due in Memphis on the morning
of May 18th (the first day Of the Re-
union) and remain in port at
Memphis Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday (the three days Of the Re-
union) and leave Memphis on the
return trip Thursday. evening at
5 o'clock, thus giving our round
trip passengers three full days in
port at Memphis"
knowing the city Of Memphis
will be overcrowded, and the hotels
there win charge enormous prices,
and that it will be impossible fer
many people to secure accomoda-
tons on shore at any price, we have
thought best to have our boat re-
main in port at Memphis during
the three days Of the Reunion to
take care Of our round-trip passen-
gers. We will charge from Hick-
to Memphis $3.50 one way, $500
round. One-way rates viii include
meals and sleeping accommodations
EN- route. Round trip rates will in
clude meals and sleeping rooms
en- route and also meals and sleep
ing accommodation on board boat
while in port at Memphis, We will
issue some printed matter later and
will send you copy.

In a town in Tennessee, a church made the following an nouncement: We will serve free drinks at the church." There object is to run an objectionable saloon man out of town. What some people won't do to carry their point is not worthy of re- cord. If if is sinful and wrong to sell drinks, then it is doubly wrong for a so called christian to give it away free in order to reek his vengeance on man who has spent rocks for thatprivelege. The Bible does not sanction such 8 method. It says kind words turn away wrath. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord, I will repay" But won't the boxers of that town have time and under the sanction of that church too.

After landing and while the doctors worked oyer her, she said: I felt as if I was being knocked to pieces and churned all over. 1 thought of trying not to break my neck. I caught on to the side straps. After the men set me adrift, 1 closed my eyes and prayed. 1 struck rocks three times and the water seemed to come in the barrel everywhere. I knew when I went over the falls and I lost my senses just 8 minute. I would rather face a cannon, knowing that I would be blown to pieces, than go over the falls again ''

H. c. RUSHING.

Our friend H. c. Rushing of Pumpkin Bend was in McCrory last Friday and showed his smil- ing face in the News while here.
 On this occasion MT. Rushing was in a very happy frame of mind and the whole push enjoyed the timely jokes he spun. He informed us that some one whom he never injured had the audaci- ty to call him a resident of the city of Morton. He says of all false accusations he had been charged with, this of all others was the red necktie climax. We didn t stop the flow of his oratory a little bit for he enjoyed tand so did we. We didn't even get to put a word in edgeways.
 MT. Rushing has been resi- dent of Pumpkin Bend for some time past where he has made quite success farming. He in formed us that although this was an unusually short-cropped year, by hard work and stricteconomy he has managed to realize enough to pay all his debts and at the same time have a small bank account. This ought to be enough to cause him to be happy.
 Among other good things raised on his farm this year are some of the largest and finest sweet potatoes ever brought to McCrory. We are promised a sample of them the first time he brings any in.
