Rev. W. H. THOMPSON, for a number of years pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this place, has taken charge of a similar congregation in the thriving little city of Columbus, KY.

Bush Camp Ground, situated about twelve miles south of this place, near the M. C. R. R., is the scene of a most wonderful revival. The meeting commenced yesterday evening one week ago, and up to Thursday night ninety conversions was the result. Rev. J. H. GARRETT and other earnest, convincing ministers are there zealously laboring for the sacred cause. The revival there is only equaled by the one held here a few weeks ago. The revival still continues. Persons who desire to attend can take tomorrows 9:30 o’clock train and remain there during the day and return at 10:30 in the evening. Trains stop within a short distance of the grounds for the accommodation of the public. Fare $1 each way from and to this place.

Dr. NELSON is a well known extractor; well, he extracted one of the largest roots we ever saw the other day from his sweet potato patch and then made “ye local” a present of it! Thanks.

We learn that C. R. TRIGG, the gentleman who has the contract for doing the brick work on the new court-house, will be in our town next week for the purpose of commencing work on the foundation of the long needed structure. It will be his purpose to lay the foundation and raise the walls to the first floor this fall, and to complete the same next spring or summer. Mashburn & Co. have 260,000 brick ready for delivery, and will burn another kiln this fall. The architect’s estimate calls for 500,000 brick.

We are reliably informed that a collision occurred on the Memphis and Charleston railroad a short distance west of LaGrange, on last Thursday evening, between a freight and construction train. No one was injured by the accident, though the locomotives were terribly smashed up. The engineers and firemen saved their lives by jumping off the engines before the two trains came together.

Last Thursday night a covetous freedman named Jerry broke into the barber shop of Dick MOORE and helped himself to a large number of delicious watermelons. Jerry thought that he had a right to confiscate a few of the “coolers” for the benefit of his loyal stomach.

Resigned
B. P. ANDERSON, Register of Hardeman county, tendered his resignation to the last County Court, which was accepted, and will take effect at the next session of said Court. The office is a responsible one, and we hope the Court, before whom the election to fill the vacancy is to be held, will succeed in selecting a good and responsible man. We suppose there will be several aspirants for the position.
