ME. EDIToR.-I notice, by read
ing your interesting paper, that
most ifnot all the villages Of Giles,
have each q correspondent and
while reading some oftheir graphic
descriptions, the thought occurred
to me that something ought to be
said about Wales, It is located on
the Nashville & Decatur railroad,
about four miles north Of Pulaski,
in the valley of Richland creek on
the bank Of same, surrounded by
a rich and fertile country, and in
the midst Of moral and intelligent
neighbOrhood. It consists of two
dry goods houses, one occupied by
Messrs. Pullin & Childers, the lat
ter OF whom, assisted by his accom-
modating clerk, Gus. Hopkins, is
always ready with his pleasant
smiles and suavity Of manners to
receive and wait upon his custom
ers. The other house is occupied
by our clever friend, Geo. W. White,
aided by his efficient clerk, B. F.
Hopkins, who always take pleasure
in waiting upon their friends. Both
houses seem to be doing a good
business for the times. There are
also one blacksmith shop, a wood
shop, depot buildings, section hou-
ses, and handsome dwelling, Occu-
pied by B. F. Hopkins. There is
also, HARDLY, a school presided
over By the efficient and accomplish
ed young teacher, Willie PEBBLES.
A quarrel or fight at Wales is
almost as rare as hens teeth, unless
it is among some of the fifteenth
amendments. June opened with
a rough and tumble fight by two
feminines of that class.
The corn crop in this section
looks quite aourishing, and cotton
is now doing very well. The wheat
crop is very light. The yield,
think, win not be more than half
an average crop. General Green's
forces are quite strong, but the farm
ers demolish them very fast. Lest
weary the patience of your read,
ers, / will desist. OBSERVER.

Mr.. EDIToR:-We ask for a place
in your columns, through which
to present, once more, our gay vii
lage to your numerous readers, who
we hope will rejoice with us in our
progress in the march of improve
ment.
Our village is situated in a high
and healthy section Of the county,
thickly settled with an intelligent
and prosperous people. The beau
tiful valleys that cluster like jewels
around the brow of the hill on
which the village stands, are TEEN
ing with the most promising crops,
and q pleasing prospect of plenty
once more gladdens the hearts of
the farmers.
The sounds of busy industry are
mingled with the shrill whistle of
the locomotive as it resounds thro'
the valleys, and the beautiful scene
ry Of hill and vale, of waving for
ests and green fields, is varied by
the moving panorama Of rushing
trains as they whirl past them.
Since my last letter to you large
and commodious school house has
been erected on the lot of the old
RohObeth Church. This lot was
presented to the church and neigh
bourhood about 45 years ago, for
church and school purposes, by our
now venerable fellow-citizen c. c.
Alternately, Esq. The house has
continued both church and school
house since that time until destroy
ed during the war.
The new school will be conduct
ed by the Nestor Of teachers, Col.
ALI. Alternately, than whom no man
in his profession possesses more
fully the confidence Of the country.
We record the fact with a feeling of
pride and satisfaction We cannot
express, and in view of our good
fortune in having secured his ser
vices, We predict for the school a
success as gratifying, as the merits
OF the Colonel are widely recogniz-
ed.
We believe the country viii hail
with pleasure the permanent estab-
lishment Of this school and extend
TO it liberal patronage, offering as
it does, the desirable conditions OF
country location, cheap board and
superior scholastic advantages.
We are proud, Mr.. Editor, Of
this addition to the attractions of
our village, and in our great good
humor, wish all the world and the
rest of mankind, could share with
as the advantages Of this excellent
school which is now in progress
With 4 thousand wishes for the con
tinued success Of the CTFIzES, we
are respectfully, OLD ISSUE

back he sits erect and at distance, I
you would take him to be in the |
prime Of life. He served in Jack !
sons war and was at the battle of
New Orleans. He now lives with |
the wife Of his youth, who is re-
markabIy healthy and active for
one of her age. She is a woman of
untiring energy. Temperate and
industrious through life they now
enjoy a happy old age. They have
reared, educated and given to the
world a useful family. In the same
family resides Mrs. Betsy Gooch,
Mrs. Whites mother, who is now
near one hundred years of age.
With her, temperance, industry and
devout piety have contributed much
to lengthen her days. She is IA
military known as grandma. She
is indeed a mother in Israel. Ali
her neighbors and acquiantances
reverence her. She is entirely blind;
her hearing is COOL. If she could
only follow her habit Of life, work,
the gloom consequent upon her
blindness, she thinks, would be
| greatly alleviated.
Samuel Kerr, one Of those work
ing men to whom idleness is mise
~, is now in the eighty second year
Of his age. On his eightieth birth
day he finished the wood work of
q two horse wagon and took it to
Y. G. Reagin's blacksmith shop to
/ have it ironed. After it was finish
ed he sold it to his old neighbor j.
White, who thinks he has the best
wagon in the county. He still
makes spinning wheels. If any
man thinks that he can make bet
ter one let him show his work. In
addition to his labor in the shop
he cultivates his garden and pota-
to patch. When the birds begin to
sing you can see that old man every
fair morning, at work among his
plants. He neither drinks whiskey
nor chews tobacco, and can walk
almost as nimbly as a boy.
Wheat is beginning to ripen. On
ly moderate yield anticipated. 1t
is too thin. The rust injured some
crops. Peaches are in abundance.
Apples scarce. Corn looking well,
cotton badly. DR.. Waters is in
ecstacy over his fine colt, 'Mid-
way Between" You
ought to hear him. at is Rous-
seau." 1t is Old Tenniss' colt!r'
"Oh! that ear, tn 1T under jaw, that
tail!r' that everything!!! But
there are two drawbacks about it,
J. A. Jones would not swap his
scrub colt for it, and S. Keer men,
toned his fine pup on the same day.
Laying all jokes aside Il IS a fine
colt. More when necessary.

half. We find the Office locked up
and make inquiry as to the officers
whereabouts. Gone to Nashville
to the fair, humphi That's meeting
US according TO appointment with
q vengeance. Well you see We are
at our rows end again. We ask
when he viii be back. Can't tell
you, sir, we hope never. We utter
ed an amen to the latter part
of the above answer, and set
out for home, consoling ourself
with the thought that we would get
home before night. In the course
of time we go again, luckily we find
him in. Don't know us. We have
to tell our business again. He gets
down two packages Of papers this
time, looks over them, looks up at
us and says, 'sWell, Sir, if there was
any such papers here they must
have been destroyed during the
war" Sage conclusion to arrive at
after examining three packages
from as many thousand. "Well,
Sir, what am I to doF' Don't
know, maybe you had best consult
a lawyer" We begin to geta little
wrathy and wonder if we will ever
so far forget ourselves as to vote for
such a man again or any man that
will appoint such a man. Honest
enough but not in the right place.
Well, we have rode about 224 miles
in all, and have learned nothing but
thatwe must fee a lawyer to attend
to a matter that somebody else is
| paid to do. Yet he has the face tC
tell us that if we viii come again
he will take the trouble to examine
another package. Think of it
Come again. We think we won't
but in the course Of events We &C
again, find him all alone and glad
to say in a mood to accommodate
us. He asks us to be seated. He
now takes down several packages
and begins to look. We think vel
wind up this time for sure. Direct
ly the door opens and some one
comes in; up he jumps and shake;
the new comer's hand and calls
him Governor or General or some
other high sounding title. Of course
our business is dropped for the pre-
sent. We pale into insignifcaneC
and slide out. We venture to peer
in after about an hour. Still talk
ing to the big man, as we call him ),
and we accidentally hear the fol
lowing, "The banquet at the Max
well was a magnificent AFFAIR." ayes
splendid" We leave again know
ing that the banquet was of more
Importance than our little matter
Do you blame us for being a lit
tie out of humor2 I think not. We
have no allusion to the present in
cumbents as they appear to be very
accommodating, yet it will not hurt
them to take this home AMI reflect
on it, and remem Der that they are
the servants of the people, and are
well paid and should attend to bus
mess faithfully and without parti
ality. If my turn comes before the
big mans, grind 1t for me, is al
we ask. tSerO ssd seTi0. Respect

The Cleveland Herald makes the
following truthful observations con-
corning country newspapers and
the duty Of the people in regard 70
them: THE local paper is an abso-
Lutte necessity 70 the county and
community in which it is publish
ell. All the city papers cannot ill
the place of home paper. That
should be the first love Of every
man and woman, for which the pa
per is the locality identified. The
paper gives the county and town
where printed much of their impor-
lance in the world. and gives in de-
tail the local news which cannot be
gained by any other source. Every
weeks issue ofthe paper is SO much
local history, and the rise, growth
and development of the town and
county can be measured and =@Sord-
ed only by the newspapers that
constantly gather in the items. Peo-
pie do not appreciate their newspa-
pers. They measure its value
TOO much by the number OF columns
it contains. The home paper at any
price, is the cheapest paper one can
take, and in It is found the inform g.
ton 20 be obtained from no other
source.

The aristocrats aud great portion
of the middle class of England enter
tain deadly hostility toward Republi-
can institutions. This was shown at
the time of the rebellion by the aid and
encouragement extended by the Eng
lish to those who were endeavoring to
overthrow our Government; aud it is
now being manifested in intrigues for
the restoration of Napoleon Verhue
and the Empire il France The Ex~
Emperor has recently been visiting
various members Of the English aristo>
cracy, who have used their utmost in-
fuence to create popular demonstra
tions in his honor in the towns through
which he was to pass, while the coun>
try papers, which are generally con-
trolled by the squires and nobemen in
their respective neighborhoods, have
been teeming with extravagant puffs of
his abilities. BY showering such atten.
tions upon the great usurper in Eng
land, it is hoped that the French ma.
ton will be conciliated in bis favor :;
and already the Napoleonists iu Paris
point to the manner in which their
master is received in England as an
evidence that in the eyes Of the world
Sedan is ignored, and the Ex> Emperor
regarded as man of profound wisdom
and unselfsh patriotism. In the same
spirit, the London Times urges upon
the American people the wisdom of
re-nominating President Grant at the
expiration of his term of Office The
fact is that thriving Republic on
either side Of the Atlantic is a standing
menace to the permanepey of the Bri.
tish monarchy, and whatever measures
may appear the most likely to imperil
the success Of Republicanism in any
country will receive the warmest sup
port of the English aristocracy and its
organs.
