CULLEOkA ITEMS.

REV. Mr.. VERNON preached in the
Baptist church near Culleoka, on last
Sabbath. He handled his text well. and
delivered a splendid sermon.
The Union Debating Club met near
Culleoka, on Monday night the 10th inst,
according to appointment. The question
for the night was duly discussed, Pro-
fessor i. Walker claiming to be the cham
pion of Woman's Rights. The Professor
however, did not gain The victory.

MEAT is becoming quite scarce in the
vicinity Of Culleoka, rs sevcra hog pens
have suffered of late by the depredations
OF ro2ues. Among those who have lost
is Rev. Jno. Mckelir, and Mr.. Jno.
Young.
NEARLY everybody from the vicinity
OF Culleoka, went to Nashville OH the
free ride.
THE people around Culleoka have all
nearly finished sowing wheat, and a
large number have killed and sailed up
their pork for better prices.

The Stockholders of the Maury County
Agricultural, Mechanical, HORTICULTURAL,
and Live Stock Society met in the Court
House in Columbia, on last Saturday,
and elected Directors for the ensuing
term. Below VIC give the names OF the
gentlemen elected:
j. r. Lamb, l.. Kuhn, X. +. Lodbettef,
N. i. Cheairs, w. d. Bethel, 8. w. Scott,
Geo. Lipscomb, Gen. l.. IL. Polk, DIR. w.
ties. Ben. Harlan,.y. w. 6. Ridley, j.. L..
Williams, Geo. w. Msyberry.
These gentlemen are among the best
citizens and farmers of our county, and
will act with 9 conscientious regard for
the interests of Maury county. We are
fully convinced that one other Fair will
convince them that the Grounds ought
to be removed. A large majority OF the
Directors are opposed to q removal of the
Fair Grounds, and no vote was taken on
that proposition. We deeply regret this
result, as We feel that it is a severe blow
to the future Maury County Fairs. But
our county is wealthy and may succeed
in getting up a good Fair, even under
INSTANTANEOUS circumstances. That
one of the citizens IF Columbia should
have been the principal cause of the de-
feat OF a measure so fraught with bles-
icgs to tho town and whole county, is to
be deeply regretted.
1t is now proposed by a ivemember OF
the Board of Directors that the Associa-
ton procure ten omnibuses during the
Fair week, and convey people 10 and
from town for little or nothing, n I'M
nibus to leave Columbia every ten min
utes. He also proposes to reduce b
price of the gate fee to twenty-five cents:
-Four days are enough for a Fair, COM
moncing on Tuesday, and closing on
Friday. If these measures are adopted
and carried out, the Fair may continue
to flourish.

A.temnssd Murder.

Last Saturday night between hehours
of eight and nine O'Clock, james Hous-
ton, accompanied by five or six other
men, were passing up Leatherwood
neck in Hickman county, when they
we're met by another party Of four men.
some conversation took place between
he parties, the nature of which we do
not know. In the mean time Houston
had alivhted from his horse, N was
standing on the ground, when IN OF the
marty of four drew a pistol and fired, the
balI taking effect in the neck and passing
low uw ards. He was removed from the
,,yace where lie was shot, to- a house fnear
by, where he lay until sunday morning,
when he was removed 10 his home on the
South side of Duck Rives. His recovery
Is Thought 10 he extremely doubtful. Ii
is. not known who did the shooting.
Both parties were supposed 10 he on a
big tare." Sorry are we, indeed, To
know that such an affair took place, be-
ing the first of the kind that has ever
been known TO occur on that creek. The
above incident comes TO us i'll the shape
of rumor, but we do not doubt IFS truth

Sow.Wheat.

Maury County's fort" As .Artemus
Ward would say, is not cotton planting,
but grain growing, and stockraising.
We do not advocate IN entire change of
products, in one year, but a gradual
change from cotton to wheat and corr is
demanded by the logic Of events. Far
nlers say that cotton can he produced
for ten cents, and at present prices only
the margin for the planter is not enough
for the money invested. Even without
n war i'll Europe, the production Of cot
ton is getting TO he greater than the de-
mand, and a gradual decline in prices
must continue TO be expected. The cot
ton producing States, per sc-those States
that cannO produce anything else, are
rapidly rising from the dread nightmare
and negro incubus that has been oppres-
sing them, and their capacities for pro-
ducing cotton are constantly increasing
and the ''cottGn belt" can furnish all the
markets of the world with cotton, su-
perior 10, and cheaper than Tennessee,
Egypt, and other sections which raise
cotton ut a great expense of labor and
soil. IL therefore beiiOoves our people 10
pay a little moro attention TO wheat,
corn, barley and other cereals. Sow
wheat and raise corn and hogs.

they threatened 10 get mp another Asri-

sincerely trust, however, hat no such
suicidal policy will he pursued. The
charge is made that the Maury County
Fairs are all run by one section of the
county. Ifthere is anything wrong in
this, lei the other sections of the county
take stock in the Maury Co. A., NJ, H.,

Mr.. EDIroI:-On Monday, the 18th

casion to refute certain SANDERS clrculat>
ing on the streets, 10 my prejudice, by
simply reading a card from Maj. \. L.
Cheairs. The following statement was
furnished me the same day by Maj. Me-
Kinney, which ] also read, calling on
Capt. PIummer at the time for his au-
thor, whom he gave as Mr.. S. 4. Pointer,
a gentleman with whom / had had a
rather serious personal difference, some
months previous, but which had sup
posed was permanently adjusted by the
Intervention Of committee OF gentle
men. Surprising that the card OF MAJ.
Cheairs was sufficient to counteract what
l was inclined to regard as a political
trick, l withheld the balance from publi-
cation. But since your issue ofthat week,
L find that my moral integrity has been
a subject of animadversion in the coun-
ties OF Lewis, Hickman, and Dickson.
IF Capt. Plummer, my competitor at the
time, gave circulation to those charg e,
1 feel sure that he only intended 4 poll
ical tramp, with no view of doing me a
permanent injury, and that he will re-
pair the injury as far as he can, when it
comes to his knowledge. But my duty
to my family, myself, and my friends,
requires that l should place myself, in a
proper light, to do which l am kindly
permitted to add the following testiMo-
