While our exchanges have been so
kind in noticing tho improvement in
the Home Journal, let us read what a
few of our subscribers say: One
writing from Mast Tennessee says :
"Mr. Sliitter : Although a stranger
to you, yet, I must say, sir, that joti
print one of the best papers in the
Slate; 1 love to read it."
A young lady in West Tennessee
writing to us, says :
"Von can't imagine how eagerly I
grasp the Home Journal, und read it,
every thing in il."
A gentleman writes to us from the
Times ollice, Dalton, Georgia, und
says :
"The 1 fame Journal has been my
paper everjsiuce it found its way to
our sanctum, nnd I never let a week
slip without reading every line ol it
advertisements and all and don't
think I Hatter you when I bay I don't
do any other paper so.-'
An old man writes from Mississippi
Ihus ;
'Friend Sliitter : I am much pleas

dollars which will pay for three years

The Trial of Rev. J. B. Graves.
Last week we promised to publish
the proceedings of the jdy before
which. Mr. Graves was summoned
for trial, but those proceedings are o
unsatisfactory that no idea can be
gained from tliem as to what they are
trying liim for. A correspondent of
the Xashvillo Daily News writes as
follows about this afHiir, which fit
present causes a good deal of excite
ment. " Jt is due this public to know that w!:at
is culled thu trial of tlio Key. J. It.
(iraves, that is going forward nightly in
tho 1st Uaptist Church, is but a farce,
in which tho parties acting nro rendering
themselves ridiculous und discovering to
the. public the unworthy design they liavo
in viow, i. e. to dishonor Elder G. and
crush his influence in this city.
Elder Groves, having ilemninled n fair
trial according lo the only htandiird of llie
Church, and it being refused, did with a
larjru ami respectable minority embracing
three of tho oldest Deacons und two Min
isters, bedsides himself, withdraw and
claim for themselves, the power and au
thority of the regular linpiist Church,
being in order. The Church of which
Elder Graves is u member have already
ut bis earnest request called a large coun
cil of the most eminent jurists in llie de
nomination 111 the association, Willi llie
opinions of llie ablest men in
tho union

that envy and malice may prefer against
him, and iffouml guilty lie will be prompt
ly condemned; if innocent, openly justifi
ed. before that body, Elder Graves will
appear lo answer for himsel f, and ho will
then discover to this community, the deep
malignity with which be has been pursu
ed by 11 party in llie body now nidil ly en
g.'e.'ed iu bis defamation before this pub

Tenn., on the Nashvillo and Clmttiinooga R.
U. About 1")0 acres aro in cultivation, the
rct .incly timbered, and all of it as good as
any liiml in the county. Situated on this
tract is my private resilience a neat and
comfortable dwelliiiir wilh all necessary oat
limits. Any one desiring u delightful home
wo'il I do well to pure inse this spot. The
beautiful views of the mountain ami the site
ot'tho LTnivc rnity of the fSuulh, are hifrhly nl
Irnctivc niH nlliird a happy relief to the eye.
There arc four excellent springs on the Innil,
ami in view of the fact that tho University of
the South tho fr.-catCHt contemplated inuti- i
union of lenrniiiir now known has been lo
cated at Sowmioe, only four miles distant,
it in evident that in a few years the land I
propose to sell will be
Immensely increased in value.

sufficient to enlist tho consideration of every

I propose to sell tlio "University House,"
A number one Hotel;
Intclv fitted up nnd elegantly furnished from

four miles from Scwance, and from the pia
zo Ihe enrs can be seen after leaving Cowan,
until they reach the site of tho University.
To see them thus being drawn, by the smok
ing "iron horse," along tin ir winding path
way up the mountain side, is truly interest
ing. Within lit) feet of the door of the bo-,
tul is a good well of salubrious water.
Thcso propositions may not be open longv
and while 1 im in the notion to sell those who
wish to purchase would do well lo apply. It
is decidedly the best opening for a profitable,
investment that can be found.
