Editors Memphis Appeal:
During 8 recent brief trip Into the
country, gathered few items that may
be interesting to your readers.
A NEW COUNTY.
\ project has been started to create
out OF portions of Fsyette, Upton and
which is not yet determined, but which
will have for its county seat the flourish
ing little town of Mason, on the line OF
the Memphis and Ohio Railroad.
WENT A-FIsHING.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court
that has been sitting at Brownsville, ad-
j0urned over to next Monday, so that
the Judges could go a-fishing with some
of the other boys, which they did, bat
didn't csteh as many fish as q person
would naturally expect.
RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS
It is said that in short time the only
eating stations on the line OF the Mem
phis and Louisville Railroad will be
those at HumbOld and Bowling Green.
The railroad princes believe thAt this
will Accommodate the travelling public
better than any other arrangement that
could be made. Under their auspices
the Nelson House at Brownsville has
been permanently closed, greatly to the
regret of the good people of Brownsville
It's late proprietor, Mr. Charles Platt, has
been induced 20 take an active share in
the conducting Of the eating house at
Humboldt, which is hencefOrth to be un-
der the proprietoTship Of the firm Of
Platt, Prescott & Co, and will be known
as the Prescott House. Tine whole house
haa hnnv 4hnrnuort1fy faA
peTed, repainted, and so improved that
few would recognise It as the former
Hum boldt House. Mr.. Platt has con-
Quoted Fl rst class hotels and eating houses
in Vicksburg, Washington City and va
rious other places, and has a high repu-
tstion. Under his control the Prescott
House ct Humboldt will not only supply
IS good table IS any hotel or, eating
house IN the country, but the sleeping
accommodations Will be all that travel
ers eau desire. If this is done, it would
bs S mercy on the passengers by the
Mobile and Ohio Rosd to have Humboldt
for one of its batting places.
THE NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD.
The punetnality with which trains on
the Nashville aud Northwestern Road
are now run. is winning for the new Su-
periDtendent, Hon.F. s Richards, golden
opinions from all sorts of people, There
Is never failure to make connections,
and no road has its trains more strictly
on time. Gov. Brownlow, not wishing
TO wait for the regular July election for
Directors, had an election held at Wa
verify on last Monday and Tuesday.
This has led to applications for injune-
tiOns and other law fuses, but the prac-
ticai managers of the road are devoting
their energies to making the road popu-
lar. They have some of the most sunnps
tuous ears on any road in the South, aud
their route is the shortest we have be-
tween Memphis and Nashville. 1t Is
reported that the fare by 1t Is 20 be re-
dnced 10 ten dollars between Memphis
and the State capital.
THE CROPS.
The crops generally look well, but In
West Tennessee fruit has been largely
affected by the frost There is no less
cotton planted this than previous years,
bat there is much larger area of wheat
POLITICAL
It Is said to be arranged among the
leading Radicals that Hamilton is to get
q complimentary nomination and then
required TO back down, on the ground
that he IS ineligible, II the charge OF per-
jury in taking the candidates. oath is
pressed upon him. Barbour Lewis hav-
ing failed at Washington, is no longer
after either the Postoffiee or the Judge
ship but has slight hankering after
another good place,
IMMIGRATION.
