Railroad Mention.
The Murfreesboro Monitor, of the 2Oth
inst, says:
''On the Sd inst, a railroad meeting was
held in Lewisburg, Marshall county. to
discuss the most practicable route and
connection for railroad that would bene-
fit the greatest number Of the people of
that county and section. We are informed
the meeting unanimously agreed that q
main trunk branching off at Murfreesboro,
and running via Chapel Hill, Pennington,
Lswisburg and Cornersvi,le, in the direction
of the Nashville and Decatur road vonld
meet the wants of every citizen of Mar.
shall, and it was the sense of tho meeting
that any company that would undertake to
build such road would receive a liberal
subscription in stock from the county.
But in the event that no such road should
prove practicable, the united energies of
the people of Marshall were urged to the
support of a branch road from the Nash
vile and Decatur road, starting at Col
leoka, a distance of twelve miles from
Lewisburg, for which a charter was OBJ
tanned some time ago and survey made.

The Veteran Printer.

The Lebanon Herald of the 20 b SAYS
Last Sunday, the 10Th of April, was day
of more than ordinary interest to the pro-
prietors and attaches of this office. On
that day the venerable William Lawson
Barry, who is now a compositor in this of
fee, completed the ninety-hrst year Of bis
age. On the day before and the day after
his birth day, the old gentleman did full
days work. He is at the case promptly at
seven o'clock, and puts up his six thousand
day without trouble. There is no pesu-
niary necessity for his laboring at all, and
he sets type purely from the love Of the
art which he has followed so long.
There is no doubt that Mr. Barry is the
Oldest printer in America, if not in the
world. He commenced to set typein 1898
-seventy-three years ago-and has con-
tinued at the business ever since He is
still hale and hearty, and every printer at
least who reads this will, we are sure, Join

able 'jour" may be spared for many years

The People say.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Record, that sterling Robertson county
journal, in speaking of taking newspapers
and their effectin and on family, uses the
following sensible and significant language:
''The evening lamp and the newspaper,
what treat And yet is it not strange
that so many families take no paper.
Every business man of course, should take
his county paper and every church men,
ber should take the organ OF his church.
We take six. Yours comes TO Us like q
member of the family. Then one halls
us from our county site the title
of which is always suggestive of

asked q plain man the other day what pa
per he took, and he answered with entire

moments thought we said, ''you mean the

sented. 1t Is good paper. 1 am cutting

Timely warning.

A couple Of humorous gentleman, resi-
dent in South Nashville, but neither
of whom is greatly troubled with Off
cial duties or the cares of State, have
lately enjoyed some pretty good sport by
having bogus warrants served on an unof-
Tending party engaged in business on
Cherry Street. They are now kindly, but
seriously admonished that if one of them
is again guilty of making out warrants,
and the other commits the ipdiscretion of
serving the same, representing himself as
aDeputy Sheriff, that the latter will be
arrested for personstion Of an officer, and
the former proceeded against for aiding
and abetting. Our Cherry Street friend
is determined that the dignity and majesty
of the law shall be fully vindicsted, even
at the risk of personal safety or pecuniary
loss. Himself law abiding man, he is
determined to make others so, no matter
if he has to see in person that they do not
personate Deputy Sheriffs and commit
other indiscretions just for the fun OF the
thing,
