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.

For over a week just passed Rev. J. H. GARRETT, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, assisted by a number of ministers, has been holding a great revival meeting at Spring Hill camp ground, about three miles south of this place, which has been largely attended both night and day. Last Tuesday night we were on the grounds and saw about twenty-five or thirty mourners around the altar. Much good resulted from the sermons preached, and many, many persons were made to feel the necessity of embracing Christ. The meeting still continues.

Obituary
Thomas SPRINGFIELD, an old and honored citizen of Hardeman county, died on the 18th of April 1867 in the 81st year of his age. He was a man of great energy, possessing traits of industry, perseverance and economy which enabled him to amass an ample fortune. He lived to see his family into the third generation – numerous and highly respectable – many of them true and loyal members of the Methodist Church. He sustained the reputation of a gentleman through life, a kind neighbor, feeling master, generous friend, and a noble patriot; a filial father and an affectionate husband, and true in all the business of life. He professed religion during his illness, and gave evidence of a brighter and a better mode of existence than the present. He appealed to the guileless Savior for help, and claimed deliverance through his glorious expiation made for the sins of all men. Expressions fell from his trembling lips which were cheering to his weeping children, and enhanced the glorious anticipation of meeting him in the pure sainted heaven above, to sing the ultimatum of eternal praise to God.
J. H. GARRETT
