MAURY COUNTY FARMERS. CLUB.
Regular Monthly Meeting, Monday,
Dee. 9Th, 1871.


Through the Kindness of w. J.
WEITTHoRSR, Circuit Court Clerk, the
Club assembled In the Circuit Court
Room. The day was remarkably cold
one, but three stoves heated up the room,
TO q comfortable temperature. .W
On motion OF Capt. HAMILTON, a COM
mittee was appointed to invite MAYOR
W. J. SYKES to address the people upon
the importance OF building railroads,
On motion. Prof. o. H. P. BENNETT
was made an honorary member OF the
Farmers Club.
Major SYKES having arrived, and the
people having come into the room, in
response to the calls of the Sheriff, Ma
Jor SYKES assembled the Judges stand,
and delivered an able and convincing
speech In favor of railroads. He men
toned the fact that twenty-six years
ago he was the first man to urge the
building Of Railroad from Nashville
to Montgomery. He was then called q
dreamer, but his words proved TO be
prophetic, and he now predicted that
the Memphis and Knoxville Railroad,
ria Columbia, would be built. BY the
use of facts and figures, of which he is
a perfect encyclopaedia, he proved many
very important things; among others,
that narrow gauge roads arc TO be the
only roads of the future; that a country
goes backward instead OF forward, with
out railroads; that 81 for every acre of
land two and half miles on each side
Of q railroad pays for its construction /;
that the increase of the price of a mans
land is an increase of his wealth; that
Columbia is naturally the best railroad
centre in Middle Tennessee, Nashville
not excepted; that the Memphis &
Knoxville Railroad would make Co
lumbia great manufacturing city, by
placingit near the coal snG iron mines.
To show what effect railroads had pro-
duced, he gave many statistics, of which
we can only mention few.
He said that in 1854, before we had any
railroad, the value OF land in Maury
county was S5,2lOO52; in ISL, after we
had railroad, the value of land was
N,slS.S2s, an increase OF (2,GO3. 100 two
million six hundred thousand seven
hundred and seventy-six dollars. This
did not include the increase in town
property.

CHURCH RUN.-The excitement on
Church Run continues unabated, aud
operators from every section of the
region keep pouring in. The oil is
also of superior quality, being haav7
ier, and bringing prices 25 cents in adj
vance Of regular gravity oil. 1t is
used nearly altogether by the Titus
vile refners, giving them another adj
vantage over reiners in more remote
localities. We can now afford to turn
out refined oil at n profit, should every
other refinery in the country stand
still for want of margin. This must
of necessity draw an immense capital
here to engage in this branch of man
uiacture, and it will have greater
tendency to rapidly build up Titusville
TO higher standard of Capitalization
and commercial Importance than ever
before.
The Burtis, Boyer & Freeman we'll,
struck last Sunday, and which we YES
terday reported as producing at the
rate of 100 bbls. has within the past
twenty-four hours been steadily in
creasing. She is now rated at fully
$50 barrels. This well is now the
largest on the run, and is situate on
the northwest corner Of the Atlantic
& Great Western Company's tract,
and a few rods southeast Of the big
Thompson we'll, on the Mcguire farm.
In a direct line between these two
wells, on the latter farm, is another,
the property of Emery Bros. 81 Co.,
which will be down to-day. There are
also several we'll in contiguous locali-
ties which will be down in few days.

Soldiers and the Republican Party.

We have never been the advocates
of class-monopoles Of any kind, wheth-
er it is business or politics, as they
tend to tyrannies and confusion, and
therefore we never were OF the opinion
that because a man is soldier he is
superior to II civilian in devotien to the
Government or in merits to wear its
honors. Nevertheless, the Republican
party owes n debt of gratitude to the
soldiers, which it caunot repudiate
without forieiting the confidence Of all
civilians. Our victories at the ballot
box, from 1863 to the present, have
been won mainly by the zeal of those
who took up arms to defend the life
and honor of the nation. Had the
soldiers in the field deserted us, An
drew G. Curtin would not have been
elected Governor the second time.
Had the veterans whu re.established
the authority of the National Govern
ment, and who had returned to resume
their peaceful avocations, not clung to
the Republican cause, John w. Geary
would not have been elected Governor
the first or second time. We would
not so long have retained our suprema-
cy in the Legislature, and regained
our ascendency on The Supreme bench,
The Union soldier not Only preserved
the life of the government of the
Union, but he pcrpetuated for the
time being the rover of the Union
party. Our political leaders must
not forget thesa facts. If they ignore
the soldier, if, SO soon after his hard
fought battles. with his wounds un.
healed, the Union soldier is to be re,
fused retention in offices within the
control of the Republican party, TO
make room for inefficient demagogue
politicians, take our word for it, the
soldier will turn his back on the Re
publican organization. Our fealty to
the soldier involves as much of honor
as our truth and devotion TO our prinr
ciples. 1t awakens a feeling of dis
pleasure in many true Republican
hearts whenever the appointing power
of the Government ignores a soldier,
deliberately sets him aside, deposeV
him without cause, and snubs him to
make room for and recognition of a
civilian, his unequal in all qualities
requisite for the position to be filed
We hear and see this spirit of discon-
tent all around US. The masses Of the
Republican party are neither insensi
TO insults of this kind, nor Incapable
of resenting them. Hence, we beg Of
those in authority to beware how they
trihe with popular regard for the sol
dier. A word to the wise is sufficient

The Meadville Republican says
The Louisville Courier Journal is one
of those square matter-of.fact newspa-
pers which believe in making the best
of what cannot be helped. 1t throws
away much good advice. The follow
ing i specimen
mo Democrat is asked to accept
Negro Suffrage or abate his aversion
the Fifteenth Amendment. We have
already made our protest against the
one and the other. Each ia, until it
be set aside, fixed fact. The record
Of the past is made up. The question
presented to us now is this: Shall we
make the repeal of the Fifteenth
Amendment and the abolition of Ne.
gre Suffrage an issue in the Presiden-
tial election? One thing, in our opin-
ion, is certain. We should take de-
cided stand. We should avoid an at
titude of equivocation by which VIC
shall lose all the advantage of war on
Negro Suffrage, if there is any advan-
tage in that, and gain all the discredit
of secret revolutionary purpose
which we dare not avow. The Re-
publicans have made a point upon ns
squarely, md we. cannot escape OF
eyade it. But, whatever We do, let US
dig no pitfalls to ehtrap our own un-
wary footsteps.

We take the following items from
the Venaugo Spectator:
Mr. David Marshall, of Pittsburgh,
was robbed at the Oil City depot on
Tuesday afternoon last by pickpock-
ct.
On Sunday last A. NJ. Borland hired
three men to row him across the river
at Parker's Landing. They rowed
him to boat standing about midway
in the river, compelled him to step
aboard of it, robbed him of $40 and
then pulled away, leaving Mr.. Bor-
land alone on the boat. He was tax
en- of by the ferryman shortly after
ward. Two of the thieves have been
arrested.
The Neeley and Munsinger farms,
two miles from this city, and opposite
Two Mile Run, are being laid out as a
town under the name of prentice" "
The lots and leases will be sold at pub
lie sale, due notice Of which will ap-
per in the newspapers, and oil men can
have an opportunity OF buying build
ing lot on the river front and an oil
lease on the hill. The third sand is
known to underlie this tract, and an
oil belt, parallel to the Hilands, runs
through this property. All trains Oh
the Allegheny Valley Railroad stop
here, the nearest station of Driftwood,
Huff City, and other mushroom towns
in the interior of Cranberry. A ferry
runs to connect with trains on the
jamestown and Franklin Railroad
A young man calling himself Prof
j. G. Griffith arrived in the third ward
last week and hung out his shingle as
a medical man, heavy ON catarrh and
chronic diseases in general. But Prof
Griffith has come to grief He was
arrested on Monday afternoon fol

TO show the uncertainty of oil
territory or which way "oil belts" run,
we learn from good authority that a
well known operator in this neighbor-
hood, at the time Of the breaking out
of the recent oil excitement on Church
Run, near Titusville, commenced
drilling a well in close proximity to
the Cady well, yielding 400 barrels
per day. While the we'll was going
down the aforesaid operator busted
himself in buying up land in the
vicinity Of his we'll, securing upwards
Of seYen hundred acres. The we'll was
finished a day or two since and proved
to be a "dry hole, not even pumping
dust, and resulting in the unpleasant
discovery, to him at least, that the en-
tire seven hundred acres lie to one
side of the belt and in all probability
is also dry territory.-Pet. Cen. Rec
