We don't think that we ever attended a
political meeting at which greater harmony
prevailed, aud the step taken by the citizens
of the It'll District will certainly be pro
ductiye Of great good to the Conservative
party in this county and State. As Middle
ton is in the 18th District also, an auxiliary
club is to be formed there to day, and we
can safely say that the district above re-
ferred to viii furnish over three hundred
names of good and true men to the two
clubs. a large number of the gentlemen
named above, and who have now attached
themselves to the Conservative party. have
acted with the party in power ever since the
close of the war, and many of them, too,
were Federal soldiers during the war
Hurrah for Pocahontas and the 18th Dis
trict
We cannot eloseswithout making mention
of the enterprise and hospitality of the citi-
zens of Pocahontas. In company with Ed
E Duke, one of the best merchants in the
State, and who is doing a slashing business
in the dry goods, grocery and storage line,
,se visited the various lumber and grist mills,
machine and work shops in and around the
prosperous town. One mile and half north
Of tie place, on the west bank Of the
hatchie, is situated one of the most extern
siye mills we have seen for a long time
This mill is owned by Moore & Taylor, and
It's powerful machinery is kept in constant
motion by the water of the Hatchie. Here
lumber, shingles and furniture Of all kinds
are made from the huge logs that are foated
tof the upper tributaries of the river by
the thousands The other four mills are in
keeping with this one, and are sufficient evil
dence that Pocahontas is one of the greatest
and most convenient lumber marts in this
whole region Of country. The supply of
pine, cypress, ash, oak, poplar, hickory, wal
nut and gum is inexhaustable. Strolling
through the town we made the following
notes of the business houses
E. +. Duke, wholesale and retail dealer in
dry goods, groceries, hardware, machinery
and cotton and commission merchant
J. NJ. Nelson, dealer in dry goods of all
kinds splendid store, complete stock.
w II. Davis, wholesale grocer.
Phil. Halcombe, dealer in dry goods.
G. w. Garrett dealer in dry goods,
}. NJ. Higdon, drugs and dry goods.
Elisha Ragan, wholesale and retail grocer.
H-F Ebert manufacturer and dealer in
boots and shoes
Allen & Simons, cabinet makers
w r. Reid, tin shop.
c. G. Gibbs, wheelwright, and manufac-
turor Of buggies, carriages and wagons.
J. P. Wooster & Co, saloon
From this imperfect list It will be seen.
that Poeahontas is a live place, full of en-
ergetic men. There are also two splendid
schools, male and female, large church and
magnificent Masonic hall, together with
tastefully arranged residences AID teeming
gardens that the place can boast Of One Of
the most pleasant retreats we visited was
the celebrated ChalYbeate Spring, located on
the lands of Capt Davis, one and hiss
miles south Of town, and which is, beyond
all cavil, the finest spring of the kind in the
South, whose waters are confidently relied
on in all cases of debility, eruptions of the
skin, or impurity of the Blood. The spring
breaks out at the foot of long ridge and
within thirty feet Of the Hatehie river; is
beautifully situated in a grand old forest,
and surrounded with ali the attractions nee
essary to comfort and console lovers of out
door sport. Why so valuable a pleasure re-
sort should be allowed TO remain uncared for
is more than we can comprehend, and it is
wonder to US that some one does net take
hold Of the place and make its attractions
known to the afflicted and pleasure seekers
who daily pass within q short distance Of
its precious waters in search Of a retreat not
half SO inviting. Hereafter, as soon as we
can have some water from the spring ana
lyzed, we viii speak more fully in regard to
this really attractive but now neglected
spot From those TO whom we spoke we
learn that both cotton an corn are doing
finely, and that fair crops viii be made
