exercises, also returned.
One of the Bedford county negro

This species of crime is becoming en

wholesome reform in this matter.

intention.

The regular annual meeting of
the McMinnville Building, Loan and
Savings Association M ill be held at
the Courthouse on the first Monday

-Our Circuit Court adjourned
Wednesday, having disposed of about
sixty cases. Joe Webb, on trial for
the killing of John D. Hawkins, was
convicted and sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary.' A motion for
new trial was overruled, and the case
was appealed to the Supreme court.

for bigamy, there was a hung jury,
and the case goes over for a new
hearing at next term of court.
By the new schedule which went
into effect last Sunday, the Sunday
train on our road was discontinued,
and an extra train which was men
tioned last week, was added to run
daily, Sundays excepted. It reaches
here from Tullahoma at 8 o'clock p.
in. This enables any one to leave
here in the morning for Nashville,
remain in the city three hours, and
return home the same day. Some
other changes in the running time of
the trains will be made next Sunday.
We hope the business of the road will
be sufficient to continue the three
trains daily.

very serious turn in Mrs. Campbell's
illness. The latest reports received
here state that Mrs. C. is somewhat
improved and hopes are now enter
tained of her ulffmate recovery.
IN OUR BUSINESS BY
D. O. Jenkins' stock of groceries

agent and notary public, has an ad-
vertisement on our last page today.

timber and coal lands.
The first part of the week would
not have been a very seasonable time
for military drills or other out-door
displays of good clothes in McMinn
ville. "The blue vaulted canopy
above" was in a very leaky condition
up to Wednesday night, when "the
clouds rolled by," and Lunar came
out with a very bland smile on her
face.
