ter than other counties, but it does seem

ers in the county Jail awaiting trial in
| March, several of whom hail from our sis

from the usual fights which happen in most
small towns, and il rarely occurs that any

from the influence Of cold Robertson. .
Everything denotes prosperity and stir
ring spirit of progression. Town lots are
becoming more valuable, az was evinced by
the sale Of real estate belonging to the late
Hon. John Marshall, which was sold on

had State government to enoOurage-us,
Franklin would soon spread herself " like
green bay tree"

CURED, and since hostilities have been sus-
pended no outrage Of any kind committed
on either freedmen or Union men. There
is not in the borders OF the State more
law abiding or orderly people than the
citizens of Coffee, and such outrageous SLAM
ders are manufactured and published by
the Radical press simply to give the Radi-
cal Legislature some sort of an excuse for
passing the iniquitous militia biz.
