WE failed to notice one very important
thing, or things, in our last issue. We
mean those handsome, and most excel
lent chaiis. manufactured i'm this city
by VIM. Wood Il Sons. There is no
question about the matter, these gentle
men put up work equal, if not superior,
to anything brought from the Northern
cities. They can be seen at Lamb d
Boyd's and we advise persons anxious
win last longer than any other, to call
around at Lamb & Boyd's and call for
the Wood chair.
KUHN IL Turpin, received premiums
at the late State Fair, held at Nashville,
on the following articles: Top Buggy,
Sett Of Buggy harness, Double Shovel
Plow, The Andrews Cotton Scraper.
They had a number of articles on exhi-
bition, no premiums for which was Off
cred; the articles were recommended as
worthy of a premium. One of the arti-
cles was a hOe-handle, on which was at
tached a card with these words: "These
hoe-handles are brought here to add to
the interest of the Fair, and to show to
the public that it is unnecessary to send
to Boston, to supply their wants in this
linz ho h..<r l..
some persons as the finest they ever saw.
Such as ''How beautiful" "How beauti-
full" came involuntarilly to the lips of
strangers, on first beholdlngit. Negroes
even noted the superiority of the Kuhn
d Turpin buggy. Some of them would
ask, "Whar was this buggy NADER" "Co-
lumbia." "You always beats EN-, when
you come" The President Of the State
Fair, Mr.. johnson, himself a farmer,
said everybody in Tennessee ought to go
to Columbia to get their buggies.
FOUR new boarding pupils arrived at
the Atheneum last Wednesday.
Mr.. Samuel b. Quaits, formerly Con-
ductor on the Nashville d Decatur X.
r., died in this city On the 18th inst.
Mr.. Quaits was native of Virginia, we
believe, and served in the Confederate
army during the late war. He belonged
10 bilnes Regiment, and contracted In
camp life the disease which has kept
him in feeble health for several years,
and finally caused his death. He was q
faithful and efficient Conductor, and was
highly esteemed by those who knew him
we'll His remains were taken to Owen |
Station for interment. The Conductors |
throughout America have kind of life |
insurance among themselves. There are |
1900 members, and each member is as
sessed one dollar to be given to the wife |
Of q deceased Conductor. Mrs. Quaits |
will therefore receive $500.
WE incidentally saw, a few days ago,
a book of the Grand Commandery of |
knights Templar of China, printed in
Chinese characters. 1t was sent from |
Scotland or China, to DIR. Blackie, of |
Nashville, who gave it to DIR. fowler. |
We haven't the remotest idea what is in |
the book, except the pictures.
