CUrNTY C0RREsPONDENCE.
CARRIERS CREEK, Aug. 23, SO.


DEAR HERALD-We have been pursu-
ing the even tenor of our way since the
january communications, in fact, we
scarcely know of anything worth men
tioning, that has occurred since the fer
vent heat dried up the Hibernal foun-
tain, and opine you will have to await
their re-opening for interesting items
from the Creek. There has, however,
been some little change in the mercan-
tile line lately J. NJ. HUNTER, formel-
ly a merchant at this place, having dis
posed of his stock to j. ID. MOORE, is
now engaged in building a Flour and
Grist Mill, short distance down the
Creek, where he may be found, ready
and willing to turn wheel for the
benefit of all who may be disposed 10
give him a call, or turn His sue
cessor, Mr. MOORE, in connection Win
Mr. HIRAM HENDLEY, formerly OF Co
lumbia) his clever and accommodating
salesman, solicits call from those de-
string anything in the line of dry goods
or family groceries, confident OF giving
entire satisfaction to all purchasers for
the money.
r. A. MCKAY, Esq, our Corn, Wheat
and Cotton Factor, is the right man IN
the right place, and with Old Reliable,
(JId) behind the counter, he is sure OF
liberal share of custom. Then we nave
BILL CALDWELL as caterer to the wants
of the inner man, that is, in liquid
pint of view. And although the spark
ling fluid that BILL dispenses is not al
together as cool as that that flows from
Tom RAINs's fountain, its effects are new
theless equally as exhilarating. Tom
JAMESON, BILLS partner, has a new dis
tillery close at hand, so when your folks,
'or any other man, desire anything
fresh, they can be accommodated at
BILLS Saloon. JOHN AS can't be beat
sixty yards, as was proven on Saturday
last. We also have Doctors Shop,
Shoe Shop, and Blacksmith Shop, and
| ONLY want Hotel and a Female Col
lege to make application to be incorpo-
rated At the Church, about quarter
of a mile from the Station, RoB'T Ii.
FOSTER has fiourishing school of be-
tween forty and fifty pupils, where the
ideas are taught to shoot, according to
the most approved and thorough course
| of instruction. Mr.. III. W. SMITH, our
r. r.. Agent, "a better than whom the
memory of Railroad men runneth not to
the contrary informs us that since the
first of July last there has been 400
bushels of wheat shipped from here pei
rail, which was sold at 81 10 to 81 Is pei
bushel.
The farmers speak very despondingly
of their crops on account of the contin'
ued hot and dry weather. (Thermome
ter yesterday and to-day 1O4 and LOG de-
grees in the shade.) 1t is the prevalent
opinion out here that there will not b'
enough corn made for home consump
ton. Politics is 'Ausgiespiel.' W.
have heard, however, that the colcret
RAIDS continue to cultivate their BEARl
for Bran Dances and the like. Alas
poor Eorick NovERRE.

l have received many testimonials from pro-
fessional and medical men, as my almanscs and

YILLlNou, WALKER COUNTY, GAL
June 20, 1866.
DE-. JOHN BULL-Dear Sir: have recently
given your "Wom Destroyer" several trials,
and findit wonderfully efficacious. It has not
failed in single instance to have the wished-for
effect. am doing pretty large country prac-
tice, and have daily use for some Article Of the
kind. / am free to confess that know of no
remedy recommended by the ablest authors that
is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the
contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. Nv
object In writing you is TO find out upon what
terms can get the medicine directly from you.
If l can get it upon easy terms, ! shall use q
great deal of it. / am aware that the use of
such articles is contrary to the teachings and
practice of great majority of the regular lire Of
Nj. DIS, but see no just cause or good sense in
discarding a remedy whicL we know to be eff
Gent, simply because We may be ignorant of its
combination. For my part, i shall make it q
rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffer-
ing humanity which may be able to command
mot hesitating because some one more ingen
ious than myself may have learned its effects
first, and secured the sole right to secure that
knowledge. However, l an by no means an ad-
vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless
nostrums that food the country, that purport TO
cure all manner of disease to which human flesh
is heir. Please reply soon and inform me Of your
best terms. i am, sir, most respectfully,

False Alarm.

Last Monday night, or rather O'Clock
Tuesday morning, the moon shone very
lovely; bright enough to make the night
visible, touched with melancholy sad
ness that made even ugly objects beau
tiful. Just the time for spirits to walk
around and observe the changes made
by the 'corroding tooth;' just the period
in the widow of the day when church
yards and over-fed people at the Edsal
House, yawn; just the time for the bug
gies to come in from the grand affair at
Ashwood, and for the cock to crow, and
everybody except the police and omni-
bus drivers to be asleep. At this point
of the dial, the citizens of West Main
street were aroused from their slumbers
if they were allowed to sleep in such
melting atmosphere-awakened, we re-
peat, by strange, weird cry as of some
one in distress. There are great many
kinds of cries, and this was Teutonic
cry-as if the person crying were under
a dreadful nightmare-as if it were only
a small escape from a mountain of sup
pressed cries. At first the alarmed peo-
pie thought the cry told of the presence
of the Fire King, ON his midnight err
rand of woe and desolation, but they
were mistaken. 1t came from the dry
goods store of Messrs. COHEN BROS.
They were awakened by a strange noise
in the rear oftheir store, as of some bur-
glar desiring entrance. They dared not
open the back window or door, lest the
outlaw or outlaws would be upon thom
in an instant. So they concluded to
call the police, and at he went, Run
here, run here, run here SPINKs Err
WIN heard the cry, and came like a
streak ofstorm lightning, with the in
tention of whipping dozen burglars OF
the desperate sort. He reached the rear
of the building, saw the tremendous OBJ
ject, wasn't scared bit by its size, and
marched Immediately upon its works.
And the cor, like Fort Donelson. STIR

Water.

The citizens OF Columbia have been
pretty hard up for water during the past
three weeks. The pumps, and cisterns
are nearly all dry, and it would doubt
less be hard to convince us that the
world contains two-thirds water. Duck
River has been so low that there has not
been water enough to turn the Big
Wheel, and water of any kind has bee
greatly in demand.

A Noticeable Fact.

That one way ofappea.ing to a mans
reason is through his eyes. In these
busy times men are deeply immersed in
the conduct of magnificent projects, that
they forget all about the condition OF
their systems, and hence it is that the
proprietors of the Plantation Bitters,
which cures dyspepsia, purifies the
blood, improves the tone of the stomach,
regulates the bowels, and, indeed, in
vigorates the whole inner man, are so
active in advertising. In fact, adver-
tisements are merely sky-rockets sent
up to attract attention to really coed
article.

A Sad Accident.

We regret exceedingly to chronicle
another of those sad and unfortunate
accidents that will occasionally happen
TO boys who habitually hunt in the
woods unaccompanied Last Wednesday
FREDDY CUISINE, son of DR.. F. w.
CUISINE, of New Orleans, went hunt
ing, and as he was getting over fence
on the farm of n. PORTER, Esq, three
miles on the Campbellsville pike, his
gun caught in the fence in some way and
was made to discharge its contents into
his left hand. The hand is badly mutt
lated, and it is feared amputation will
become necessary. Boys should b,.yery
careful in the use of firearms. The in
stincts of men guard them against such
accidents, while boys are naturally
careless.

We can safely recommend these Bitters for

tonic is required, they will be found equal, if
not superior, to any Bitters before the public,
