X0TES FROM THE SE3I0R LOCAL.
When we left borne on the 25th ulL,
we had but little idea where we would
go or when we -would return. That
morning about noon found us at' the
residence of our cousin, Aquula Urant,
near Parson's Creek, three miles west
r.f tW ancient and finished town of
Fort Royal. At this point we estab
lished headquarters, where we have
been kindly furnished conveyance to
bushwhack at pleasure, which has ten
ded preatly to recuperate our toil worn
Kyntem, and restore that vitality that
had well nigh forsaken us. e nave
purposely refrained from writing sooner
on account of the shattered condition
of our nerves, but now feel that we
1iavi nerve sufficient to put down a
few random notes, gathered by the
way-side.
THE CROPS
in this neighborhood are very good
corn and tobacco very promising, but
the farmer 13 as busy as a bee in a cask
of sugar, trying to exterminate the
tobacco worms, which appear to be
"masters of the situation," and will.
1iihtless. destroy a vast amount of
the weed. The cutting of this Etaple
product will be commenced in earnest
this week, large quantities being ready
now for the knife. Farm hands are
very scarce, and what is worse, not re
liable. Some systematized labor must
be brought about or agricultural pur
suits will not pay more than a meagre
subsistence.
We attended a
BARN RAISING
on the premises of my cousin, Joseph
Grant, a few days since. The boss
workman wasCol. James Lockert, who
fought through the warlike a true sol
dier, and has now changed his vocation
of raiting yankees to that of raising
barns and he is as good at the latter
as he was at the former. The timbers
all being framed, the neighbors met
and assisted in the raising, after which
all partook of a sumptuous repast,
prepared in Mrs. Grant's good style.
lTncle Alfred Herring was on hand to
barbecue the mutton for the occasion.
In passing down Tarsou's Creek, a
short distance from where we are stop
ping, maybe seen some of the timbers
of an old grist mill, where, I am in
formed, our worthy townsman, Fetcr
Oncal, (old corner-post,) used to carry
corn to be ground when a very small
boy. I suppose he had the corn in
oue end of the bag and a rock in the
other to strike a balance.
We attended preaching at
grant's chapel,
Funday, August 31st. We there heard
Rev. W. A. Turner for the first time,
lie delivered an interesting . and in
structive sermon to a small but intel
ligent and appreciative audience.
Dr. Ringgold, of our city, has been
haviug services at
WHITE CHAPEL.
We hear him highly complimented as
a man and preacher by those who heard
him.
We learn that a large shed will be
built near
MOITNT CARMEL
pomi'timc next year for religious pur
Those who attend will carry a
lunch and sicnd the day.
On Saturday, tith iust, we attended
the
SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION
at Mt. Carmel. This was our first
visit to that hospitable neighborhood.
We arrived at the c hurch about 10
o'clock, and found about -MO persons
already assembled. The pupils of Wil
liams' Chaiel Sunday School united
in this celebration. Seats were ar
ranged in the grove, and a commodi
ous stand, neatly decorated, was there
" for the speakers. Whilst the excellent
hinging, conducted by Mr. Atkins, who
is a fiue singer and teacher, was going
ou, we circulated through the crowd
and grasped the hand of many old and
valued friends. About 11 o'clock,
' Rev. Mr. Turner, read the programme
of the day. The exercises were open
ed with prayer by Rev. Dr. West, after
which Rev. Mr. Turner introduced
our young friend aud townsman, Ar
thur Munford, Esq., who delivered a
short but very appropriate address.
The touihiugly beautiful story, he re
lated of the little girl who was thrown
from a wiudow, by a drunken father,
and made a cripple for life afterwards
taken iu charge by a noble-hearted
lady, a sabbath school teacher, and
taught lessous of wisdom that fitted
her for eternal life, was a spcecji of
itself. This act; on the part of her
leather, showing the blessings that
will accrue to unselfish teachers of
Suuday school childreu, addiug bright
stars in their coronet in the great here
after. Mr. MuuforJ's short address
was well conceived and delivered with
but little embarrassment His voice
was rather low, but to a young man
unused to shaking in the ojicn air,
his resjectful hearers kuew how to
make all due allowance. After a song
Ly the classes, Rev. J. B. West, D. D.,
arose and addressed the audience,
most of whom were his old acquaint
ances and friends. He feelingly re
ferred to the ties of friendship that
existed between the good people of
ML Carmel neighborhood and hioudf.
He had known them long and loved
them tenderly. Ho said that mingling
with and studying each others charac
teristics enabled us to rub off the
rough corners and angles and make us
bvtter fricuds, and make the world
better, by softeniug the asperities of
life, causing us to be more charitable
in our feelings towards our fenows.
etc. To be useful, the education of
the head alone would not do, the
heart must be properly trained also.
It is the duty of parent to teach their
children in spiritual things, and not to
depend upon others to teach them
But as parents do not always discharge
this duty Sunday schools tre a nec-es
sity. Showed the difference between
the opportunities of early times and
the present in training children. Stub
bornness and restlessness are not ob
jectionable in children if they are
properly balanced in after years they
would tend to make them men and
women cf firmness and decision of
character not putty men to be dented
into any shape. Ilia leading thought
was that children should be taught to
look upon the beautiful, in nature, in
philosophy, literature, and in every
thing. . The true gentleman does not
look upon the deformity and rough
exterior of his fellows, but strives to
6ee only the beautifuL ' Beauty has
more power than all else beside. To
turn from the contemplation of the
ugly makes us better, makes us happy.
We only attempt an outline of his
somewhat novel yet deeply interesting
thread of thought, to give some idea
of his discourse of an hour's length
It was delivered in a plain practical
manner, and we predict that some of
the solemn and impressive truths he
enunciated found a lodgment in many
young hearts that will prove to be
"bread cast upon the waters."
At the conclusion of Dr. West's ad
dress, the children sang some beauti
ful songs, when
DINNER
was announced, a procession was
formed and the crowd marched down
to the tables, where the barbecued re
past was spread. After all had satis
fied the inner man to repletion, the
audience reassembled around the
stand, when Judge C. W. Tyler ap
peared and made a few happy remarks,
and on account of the lateness of the
hour, and there still being an unfinish
ed programme, thought it would be
advisable to withhold his speech until
their next annual celebration, when,
he promised them, if they desired it,
(although he had never made a speech
to one lady,) to make one to as many
as would turn out next September, at
the same place, upon a similar occa
sion. We promise, in advance, a rich
intellectual treat to all who may be so
fortunate as to hear him at their next
celebration.
THE AWARD OP PREMIUMS
was next in order,, which was promptly
done by Gen. W. A. Quarles, -in his
own peculiarity impressive and pleas-'
ant manner.
The following were the happy re
cipients of the premiums :
Mrs. Sarah Leathers, the teacher,
was presented a beautiful Bible by the
officers of the school.
Miss Prudie Tucker 50 Sundays
attendance, and 48 perfect lessftns re
ceived an elegant silver cup.
Miss Estella Face for 49 days at
tendance, and 49 good lessonsa pair
of gold bracelets. .
Master Clarence Nolen 51 days at
tendance and 51 good lessons gold
pen and holder. (Master Clarence is
the son of our esteemed friend, Mac.
Nolen, and is not much larger than a
pound of soap.)
James Wall 48 days attendance and
48 good lessons gold pen and holder.
The report of the workings of this
school shows it to be in a flourishing
condition, with large additions to the
membership each succeeding year.
Both teachers and pupils are heartily
enlisted in the glorious work of build
ing up and keeping alive this nursery
of the church. In fact, all the means
and instrumentalities that are being
used for the amelioration and salvation
of the people are realously guarded
and fostered by the society of old Mt.
Carmel. The people are proverbial
for their good works, intelligence and
hospitality.
The benediction was pronounced,
the crowd dispersed, and thus ended
one of the most enjoyable days we ever
sicut. We could say much more, but
close our somewhat disconnected
sketch of this pleasant affair, by re
turning thanks to the many kind
friends there for marked courtesy and
attention shown at 31 1. Carmel. To
'Squire Shearon and Rev. Mr. Turner,
we are under special obligations, and
hope, at no distant day, to accept the
kind invitation to share more of their
genuine hospitality.
Sunday, 7th inst, we attended a bap
tizing near
LITTLE HOPE CHURCH,
where Rev. Mr. Brasscl immersed
three iwrsons, before a large crowd of
respectful witnesses. We returned to
the church and heard the same gentle
man deliver a plain, practical sermon
iu an earnest and impressive manner.
Wecaunotclosc this epistle of James
without adding a word in reference to
the extreme kindness and hospitality
extended to your humble writer in his
sojourn in this neighborhood. We
have circulated freely from house to
house, and have everywhere met a
most hearty welcome. We do not de
sire to appear invidious, but we must
be erniitted to publicly return thanks
to Mr. and Mrs. Aquilla Grant, for
their many kindnesses even anticipa
ting our every wish.
I hope to be at my post next week
till then, good bye.
Gracev & Bro., our euterprising

Their best friend could wish them no
more.

inst," at the residence of his son-in-law,
J. G. McKoin, in this county, Mr.
John Kick Barker, one of the oldest
citizens of the county, at the age of
77 years. Mr. Barker was too well
known to need any extended notice.
His leading characteristics were firm
ness of will and honest intentions
which marked his deportment in a!
the relations of social,' business and
religious life. He was, for some forty
years, a continuous subscriber to the
Chronicle, and in all our business an
social intercourse witu him, we ever
found him an honest man, iu act, as
well as profession.. For years, he was
a victim of paralysis, and death was to
him, a relief from affliction.
Death of Wm. M. Shelton.
It is with deep regret that w record
the death of Mr. Wm. M. Shelton,
which occurred suddenly on the even
ing of the 9th inst. Mr. Shelton had
been out to feed his hogs and returing
home, was attacked with i spell of
heart disease, and sat down by the side
of the road, where he was found by
two negroes who were coming from the
cornfield, and carried to the house,
where he died in about twenty min
utes. "" . '
Mr. Shelton was about seventy years
of age, and was one of the oldest rest
dents of the county. He was a fond
husband, a devoted father, a warm and
generous friend, and a kind neighbor,
and was considered one of the most
useful men in the county, and one who
will be missed by almost every citizen,
He was for six ' years .Sheriff of this
county, and had been for a number of
years previous to his death County
Surveyor. The duties of these offices
he discharged in such a manner as to
win the confidence and esteem of all
who knew him, ever acting up to what
he believed to be his duty, without
fear or favor. His store of general
information was large and his opinion
was often sought and his influence
great
His remains were taken to the fami
ly burying ground, on Yellow Creek,
for interment last Wednesday. To his
afflicted family and relatives we tender
our incere sympathy. ; ' -
We regret having to announce the
death of Mr. John F. Cambell, on
ast Sunday evening after a protracted
illness. He was a young lawer of un

To the family, of which he was cher
ished and affectionate member, we ten
der our deepest sympathy.
According to former announce
ment, V. L. Williams is now receiv
ing the largest stock of boots, shoes,
hats, &.c, &c, ever heretofore kept in
Clarksville. These goods were bought
from the manufacturers for cash, and
as he is conducting his business upon
strictly economical business principles,
he will be enabled to sell them at such
ow prices as to successfully challenge
all competition. ' t;. i
He is building up a good lucrative
business by adhering closely to the
principle of "quick sales and short
profits." He would earnestly ask all
to call and examine his stock and pri
ces, before buying, as it will consume
but a few minutes - of your time, and
he will take great pleasure in showing
you through and then you decide the
question where shall I buy my Boots
and Shoes? His store room is No.

' Painful Accident. We regret to
learn of a serious accident which hap
pened to Mrs. E. Withers, formerly
of this place, who has the deepest
sympathy of our entire community in
her misfortune. We copy from the
Cincinnati Enquirer of the 5th inst :
"While two ladies, one of them Mrs.
E. Withers, late of Clarksville, were
purchasing furniture in the store of
Mitchell & Rammelsberg yesterday
morning a terrible misfortune over
took the latter. Having occasion to
go to the 5th story, the ladies entered
the elevator, in compauy with a gen
tlemau who has been for nearly twen
ty years a popular salesman in the
house. While the ascent was being
made Mrs. N ithers dress caught in
the "safety" cogs of the machine. The
gentleman attempted to stop the eleva
tor, but either from hurry or fright, or
from inexperience, he Hid not succeed
in doing so instantly. He then tried
to tear the dress loose. This failing,
all parties lost their presence of mind,
an opening being reached, Mrs. W.
was allowed to attempt to iump through
it She managed to get her head and
body out of the car, but her limbs', of
course, were caught. One of her legs
from above the knee downward was
frightfully crushed, and the car only
stopped its horrible work, when the
jammed ankle served as a clog to its
ascent, and the unfortunate lady hung
head downward. As soon as : possible
she was extricated, placed on a mat
tress and taken down to the lower floor
on the merchandise elevator. Messrs.
Mitchell & Rammelsberg did all in
their power to assist the patient, and
the old gentleman wjio had been the
innocent cause of the accident cried
like a child. Dr. R. W. Saunders, of
Newport, was fortunately close at hand,
and was in surgical charge of the case,
Dr. Comegys also being called. The
patient was removed to 312 Richmond
street after proper attention on the spot,
and there lies suffering greatly, and
with little prospect of escaping ampu
tation above the knee."
Later advices Btate that Mrs. With
ers is doing well, and it is thought am
putation will not be necessary.
Up to this date, we have not heard of
the appointment of a single delegate to
the Farmers' Convention, at Nashville,
on Tuesday next. We had hoped the
farmers of Montgomery would have
taken an active part in such a move
ment, the sole object of which, is the
promotion of their interests. In the
absence of regular delegates, we would
suggest that any farmer of this county
who may be in Nashville, on that day,
report himself to the Convention, and
take part in the proceedings.
The entertainments by the Ilook
Ladder boys, on the 25th and
26th insts., will be the best given by
them. They will be assisted by sever
al gentlemen outside of the company,
who have a reputation as first class
amateur performers, and they are using
every effort to make these entertain
ments surpass any previous ones. The
plays selected are most excellent, and
the cast of characters judicious. Let
everybody attend.
The Tennessee Conference will hold
its annual session in Franklin Tenn.,
beginning October 8th; The under
graduates, that is, all who have not
completed the four years course of
study, are expected to meet on the Gth
of October for examination before
their respective committees.
Evert farmer should adopt and
stick to these rules : Cultivate not an
acre more than he can prepare thor
oughly and cultivate judiciously.
Keep no more stock than can be
sheltered from inclement weather, and
fed abundantly
Feed at home surplus corn and hay,
which should be sent to market only
in the shape of live stock or butchered
meat
Raise no more tobacco, without first
having resolved to gel . rid of the to
bacco flies. This will obviate the ne
cessity for extra labor to kill worms,
besides saving the price paid for that
extra but unnecessary labor. There is
economy and thrift and comfort in the
observance of these rules, nor are they
expensive.

HOUSTON COUXTY.
Messrs. Editors : . A protracted
meeting was held at Ebenezer, on the
Yellow Creek circuit, commencing
aturday before the fourth Sunday in
August, and lasting ten days. This
meeting was conducted by Rev. W. D.
Cherry, pastor, assisted by Rev. A. M.
Taylor, of the C. Pt Church, and Revs.
W. T. Nesbitt and John Parrott, of
the M. E. Church. The Church was
greatly revived, the utmost harujony
prevailing among the different denom
inations, and even sinners were con
strained to say, "behold how good and
how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity." Twelve persons
made a profession of faith; nine were
dded to the Methodist and two to the
Cumberland Church. Others will join
ach, we doubt not
Tobacco crops are looking very fine
in Houston county. The shingle trade
is brisk on the east fork of Yellow
creek. In fact there are four machines
within three miles of Shiloh, cutting

ItOAMER.
Owe farmer reports to us that his
experiment with Cobalt, for poisoning
tobacco flies, was a signal success; but,
though he destroyed great numbers,
ha does not perceive that he had fewer
worms than his neigbors. His neigh
bors raised a superabundance of flies
and divided liberally with him. It is
impossible for one fanner to proteet a
whole neighborhood, and his experi
ence is an illustration of the necessity
for co-operation. Had all the farmers
for miles around, destroyed as many
flies as he did, all would have been
protected from the ravages of the
worms, and perhaps, another year's ex
periment would suffice for a thorough
riddance of the pest A pull all to
gether, and the work will be done.
Individual effort will accomplish Jittlc,
where full co-operation alone, can se
cure success. " .
