beautifully situated, and hourishing
town, few years hence destined to
be city, of Tullahoma, where / found,
for the number, as pleasant and social
a band of gentlemen and as bright
eyed, lovely and interesting ladies as
can be met with in your State, famed
rs much for the beauty of its women
as it is for the bravery gifts men.
All was hustle and activity
cheerfulness and confidence seemed
to be in every branch Of business
The "Lincoln House" with its eour-
teous Landlord and attentive Mis-
tress, comes fully up to the many
praises which have been showered on
it by all those who have partaken Of
its many and well cooked viands.-
Mr.. Grizzard, Messrs. Hollins & Will
liams, MI. Gewen, and others, are en-
gagged in the dry goods and grocery
trade, no doubt to a large, and |
trust, profitable extent-all Of them
being pleasant gentlemen and wor-
thy citizens. Carpenters hammers,
blacksmiths' FORCES and the bricl-
mason's trowel, can here find wo'k
in plenty for many long day 10
