A representative of the Express was
fortunate Monday to he in company with
Dr. J. B. McEerrin, agent of the South
ern M. E. publishing house. He was en
route home from a quick trip, in which
he had done good service for the church
’iii Montgomery, Ala., La Grange and
Washington in this State. The old Chris
tian soldier is usually quiet, observant of
locations on his line of travel, and when
Adairsville was announced he remarked
promptly that, “111 1828 I was about a
mile from here, just across there,” point
ing the direction, “at a campmeeting on
Oothcaloga. The Indians Were hcie
then.”
A strangor could hardly have believed
that the speaker was a minister on the j
occasion refefed to. His smoothly shaven j
face gives hint a much younger appear
ance than did his gray heard.
YveE, the doctor was in excellent spir- 1
its. Referring to the interests of the !
church he said that about $240,000 of
the bonds had been taken, and that lie !
anticipates 110 trouble in getting purelt- j
users for the others in a few months more. !
This amount, it is expected, will entirely
relieve the church of other indebtedness;
“And” said ho, “before one of these
bonds are issued, 1 intend to see that it •
will give the relief anticipated. Not
only so, hut I intend to have the coni- j
'm it tee give the statement in writing, j
that they believe the bonds are good, and
that they will he paid. Also that the
interest will he paid semi-annually as
stipulated on the bonds.” j
He expects to he done with all such la
bors before the forty years shall have ex- ;
pirod, and under no circumstances would
heinducc any one to invest The did j
not believe that they, or those who* come
after them, would realize the valfie of
what the church proposes to pledge.
'The prsent management ol tin publish
ing interest js altogether as successful as
could have been expected Air. Palmer,
of Dalton, who was appointed general'
manageiqlgreatW relieves the agent, who j
could not attend the duties at the house
and attend to the disposal of the bonds.
Dr. Young is assisting him greatly in
placing the bonds. The receipts for the
year just closed are more than double
those of last year. The periodicals arc
doing well. Replying to the query, the
doctor said that, the railroad companies
generally do not accommodate, but he
c *
.'mentioned kindness from the Louisville
tb (Jreat Southern, and then referring to
the Nashville, Chattanooga A St, Louis,
said: Cole and Thomas are clever as can
he asked in our cause, and they shall
never loose by it.
“I had a compliment paid me last night.
I found that the trains did not connect
from Washington to Atlanta, and 1 was
miGEi) to he home in the morning, and
wo*thl you think it? General Toombs
chartered the train and sent it down to
Harnett just to take me, and there was
no body in ihe Lain hut me—why he
was the first man to walk up and sub
scribe foi a thousand dollars of the
bonds!”
The settlement with liis predecessor,
l)r. Red fold, it is hoped wil’ soon he
accomplished. Tha committee lias liad
much trouble with it. 1 lie Christian
public desires that it he accomplished
without resort to the courts.

Tin following account of a late mur
der in Mom or e nini y-f is taken from the
Knoxville Tribrno ol Sunday morning
last:
From a passenger who came up on
vesterday’s afternoon train we learn the J
pallieulars of a murder, as cool, deliber
ate and unprovoked .as it was ever our
reluctant duly to publish. The man
who now lies dead, deprived of life by a

best farmers in ihat region; he had just

it, and was piejuiring to pay the test,

bosoms of their parents swell wiifi ftrJ4<V
as they beheld these their lesser, “Dar

and betray to them the secret of their
winters study, and their teiicflers dili
gence. After these came the more ad
vanced classes, Young . Ladies and
Young Gentlemen, the larger “Darlings”
The young ladies vicing with the
rainbow in their rich and beautiful colors,
(ol course the excitement of the exhibi
tion gave a most beautiful, most delicate
rose color to t heir pretty cheeks) The
young gentlemen were there glorying in
their Sunday coat; and of course in the
smiles of f.heir bewitching jphanns, the
girls. We rejoice to say that they ac
quitted themselves nobly, and gave jii s l
and due hoiioi to their teacher, and his
efforts to instinct them, and satisfy their
souls thirsting for knowledge. At
eleven A. M. we were honored by a
pleasing and it p prop rate address from
the Hon. W. .). Haralson; his remarks j
were full of encouraircment and common-

datioii savored with wholsomc advice to
both young ladies and young gentlemen.-
lie also adcressed a portion of 11
beautiful and well-timed remarks to the I
patrons of the school, which we trust 1
and believe, were received and treasured j
upas golden advice. We feel that we
arc due Judge 11. iuanyU hanks for his
timely address. After a short intermis
sion the exercises of the afternoon began,
which consisted principally in the ex- j
animation of the more advanced classes,
the largest “Dar ings”. Wc tender to!
them the same remarks that have been:
besoted upon the y rung ladies and gen-,
tlemen of the morning; they proved to
the expectant .a mi is nee, that all these j
months of study have not boon in vain,]
and at least koiiiv of the truths which |
their most exeelont and aijctftn[WSinly
instructor tu instill into
their i#inds, have been considered and
treasured up as guides, for after life.
While tin* acadamv was very well

school with which wc arc now connected;
viz. lliwassee College.
This institution .vas founded in ISO
by some, old veterans of tin? gospel, the
chief of whom was the Rev. John Key,
father of P. M. Gen. D M, Key, the 1 it

Confidence. Located in the country, seven
miles from Sweetwater, on tlie E. Tcim;
Ya. tfe Ca R. R. from which conveyance
at any hour. It is a healthy, quiet,
moral place, none more so. We take
pleasure in saying that no intoxicating
liquors are sold within seven miles of
the college. No excitement, nothing
that is calculated to withdraw the stu
dents mind from his books, hahnatli
Sehoo[ every Sunday morning, preselling
>ll 11 o’clock, and prayer meeting at
night. In fact, students have every thing
to encourage them to he studious, good,
noble voung men, and nothing to encour-
age an opposite course.
Students board themselves by keeping
"batch” for 75 cts-. per week. And it is
so far from being considered dishonorable
that the sons of oil most wealthy meh
avail thcmselvs of this means < and getting
an education for comparatively nothing,
and saving their Sionev. Hoard at (Col
lege Hotel $lO per. month; in good
families $8 to $lO —rooms, furnituie,
fuel, led and washing, included.
The Faculty is composed of the Rev.
Julio U. Brunner A. A11). I)., LVesi*

perienee as an educator. He is noted

Grace has been teaching twenty-five or
