Bob Rogers says Dr. Fricks run as second section to No 17 going South to Rising Fawn. We are not well versed in Railroad ex pressions but suppose this means that the Dr, was left by 17 and walked to the “Fawn.” A movement is on foot to pro vide for a district parsonage at St. Elmo Tenn. for the benefit of the Presiding Elder of this District, and it becomes the duty of all in terested in the welfare of the meth odist church to contribute some thing to the success of the under taking.

Shall it be sold by the drink or by the gallon is tne question to be determined at the polls by voter.# who should weigh thouroughly the question before them. Unqualifiedly we are opposed to a restriction that allows the sale of whiskey in quanties less than one gallon. Not that we want more whisky,God knows we don’t, but we are tired of a law which never can be operative; we do not want to encourage crime by offering inducements to the criminal. We have tried it by the gallon end we have tried it by the drink and we dont want any more of this gallon business in ours. Let every man who has watched the results for himsels determine which he would prefer—a tax paying saloon rim ing under the law. or one illegally conducted yet bringing all the re sults of the other, AUE X E £SOfJS PEOPLE. It is a pity that Rising Fawn could not furnish us a correspond ent to communicate the prais wqrthy acts of her go I , ■ >le, but nevertheless her good deeds should not be veiled on this, account, When Rev. J. H, Harwell departed for Varginia to wed his blooming bride and afterward returning with the expectation of furnishing out his modest pastoral home he little dreamed what his eyes would meet as he steped upon the threshold of his future home. Kind hands prompted by generous hearts had indeed wrought a miracle in the eyes j!of the young divine. The good ladies of Rising Fawn headed by Mrs. A. T, Fricks had begun their work ere the preacher had departed on his mission, and a few days energetic work completely furnished the little parsonage in all the equipments essential 1 to a noat and pleasant housekeeping. In the words of Brother Harwell “they had omited nothing but the the salt and peper”. In every ar ticle of that neatly furnished home, Mr. Harwell has something to re mind him of the high esteem in which he is regarded by the citi zens of Rising Fawn, its a token of a high appreciation of which he might well be proud, idle words may be meaningless and flattery a fraud but in this goodly act. we ean but see, attachment, high esteem and a high appieciation of a worthy young man. In this kind act the rival town of Trenton sees nothing of which to be jealous, tho’ some day she may attempt to surpass Rising Fawn by performing a like deed. AX BSTU4 i At S B Austins.
