u. A. Potts will soon begin the
erection Of two new dwellings near
the Methodist Church. One will
be built opposite the church and |
one on the site Of the old church |
building, which is to be removed /.
at once.
There was a fairly good attend
ance at the Masonic Hall Monday |
evening to hear a lecture by Isaac
Thurman on Masonry. Mr.. Thur
man is grand State lecturer of Ten
nessee, and his lecture proved to |
be both interesting and instructive.
The protracted meeting at the
Methodist Church closed Sunday
evening. Rev. G. w. Banks left
for home Saturday, after spending
a week in our midst. He preached
some good practical sermons, and
the church and the christian peo-
pie of the town were greatly reviv-
ed during the meeting.
More gravel is being spread on
the streets this week. The south
side Of the public square is receiv.
ing the attention of the street COM
mittee just now. The obvious mis-
take (call it accident, if you please)
of digging too deep and too near
the sidewalk on that side will be
remedied to a great extent by fill
ing in with gravel. Top drainage
will be facilitated by the use Of
brick later on.
Attention is called to the second
fall announcement of "The Bee
Hive" Claude Hudson & Co., pro-
prietors, on another page of The
CHRONICLE. They are offering real
bargains because their house is full
of goods and they want to get rid
of them, rather than remove them
to another city. All their fall and
winter stock of goods are now in,
and tremendous quantities of their
high class goods are being sold at
ridiculously low prices.
The attendance at Sunday school
is on the increase, which is gratifv-
ing and encouraging. There are
many others in and near town who
ought to attend Sunday school, but
do not. Parents should urge upon
their children the Importance and
the necessity Of attending Sunday
school, and prove you mean what
you say and go with them. Either
Sunday school would be delighted
to have you, and there is nothing
like setting a good example.
The city fathers will make exten-
sions to the sewer system begun
about two years ago. Tiling is the
, material to ebe used, and the drain
age construction work was begun
this week. Tiling will be substut-
ed for wood in the underground
drainage. 1t developed Tuesday,
while removing some of the wood
work of two years ago, that the tim
bers were practically rotten. The
tiling is a little more expensivethan
wood, but when once put down it
is there forever.
Misses Cora Maiden and Katie
johnson were the successful ones
} here in the grand opera contest Of
the Nashville Banner, and they left
for Nashville Wednesday on invi-
tation Of the Banners reception
committee. The Banner pays rail
road and hotel expenses and furn-
ishes free tickets to the two per-
formances of grand opera. The
Banners generous proposition ar
reused great interest all over the
State, and at Paris and number
Of places there was a hot contest.
A crowd of young folks stormed
Hon. and Mrs. William L. Morris
at their new suburban home out on
Paris street Tuesday evening, and
were most elegantly entertained.
Refreshments we're served during
the evening. Every one enjoyed
. the occasion, and have accepted an
invitation from Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
