Mrs. Bettie Hoodenpyl, wife of Mr. Walter Hoodenpyl, died at the home of his father in this place, about nine o'clock this (Friday) morning, of consumption.

The funeral will oc cur at 10 o'clock this morning. Rev. W. J. Anderson, colporteur of the American Bible Society.is now engaged In making a canvass of War ren county, for the purpose of placing the Bible in eyery household. This county was canvassed for the same cause about eight years ago. Mr. Anderson has been at work in the county about one month, and it will take him two more months to com plete the work. During the month of September he visited 430 families, and found 85 of this number destitute, or without the scriptures. He sup plied 7o of these, either by sales or donations. He sold during the month $75 worth of Bibles and Testaments, donated $10 worth. This canvass is made at the instigation of the Warren County Bible Society, which is an auxiliary of the American Bible Society. The county will realize a good round sum on the apple crop of the present year, notwithstanding the Crop is rather short, and the quality of most of the fruit not the best. The high price of dried fruit has stimula ted the work of saving much of the fruit in this way. There is also a bet ter demand than usual this year for green apples, and large quantities are now being shipped from here. Mr. W. Gray has purchased sixteen orchards, at from $100 to $325 each, and estimates that he will ship from them about 10,000 barrels. A Chica go Iirm has also purchased severa largo orchards. Large quantities have also been purchased by Gray and Mead & Ritchey in small lots. It is probaMe that the high prices paid for round and dried fruit this year will materially reduce the pro duction of brandy. Only the inferior fruit will be used for stilling. We learn that our account last week of the difficulty between Buck Locke and Taylor Argo did Locke a considerable injustice. We were in error in stating that Locke was only released from the Texas penitentiary about three months ago. He wa3 released from there more than two years ago, and as far as we can learn had lived a sober, quiet lile from the time of his release up to the day of his last difficulty. He is quick tem pered and hasty in his actions when under the Influence of liquor, and it was for a difficulty something similar to this last one that he was imprison ed in Texas. He was a "trusty" during his entire imprisonment there, and his term was shortened by half for good behavior. He has the char acter of being straightforward and honorable In all of his dealings. We had no intention or purpose of preju dicing the minds of the public against Locke. We merely gave as news what wa3 correctly reported at the time, and are glad to correct the er roneous statements. 1 LI yELY ; & ! HaridsomE in SETS. SASH, DOORS, AND BLINDS.

It is very gratifying to note the constantly enlarging proportions of all lines of business in McMinnville. There has never been anything like a boom here, but a steady, healthful growth and increase which inspires confidence in its nermancy. The business interests of McMinnville are largely in the hands of young and active men of progressive ideas, who feel a pride in the upbuilding of the town. Among the business iirms of McMinnville there is not a more enterprising and progressive one than W. S. Lively & Co., manufacturers and dealers in furniture. Their busi ness has increased from a small be ginning until it has reached mam moth proportions. A few years ago if any one in McMinnville wanted a real handsome set of furniture it was necessary to go to Nashville or some other city to buy it. Messrs. W. S. Lively & Co., now carry in stock a large display of fine furniture, togeth er with everything desired in the cheaper grades. They have received during the last week two car loads of new furniture, embracing some of the latest stylo goods in the market. They have some very attractive bed room sets in hard wood, maple, oak, etc, And chairs! Well, they have anything you can call lor, lrom a home made split bottom to the most luxurious willow rocker, also some new goods in this line in antique oak and plush. Suppose you call around and look at their stock; but we ad vise you to take your pocket book, for you are certain to see something you will want, and want it bad. "list ofletters.
