CULLEOKAIT ITEMS.

DIR: Williamson was quite sick last
Week, but is getting better, we learn.
.kE.F CATTLE ON MAURY HILLS. ,
Several cattle drovers make their head
quarters in the village, and ship large
numOer of cattle from this point. These
cattle are bought in Maury, Marshall
and Giles counties, and some very fine
ones are seen among them. Most of the
clover fields in this section are occupied
by droves of cattle belonging to these
traders, and present quite lively pic
ture, showing what our farmers can do.
HYMENEAL.
j. Redding and Mrs. Mckenzie were
married at P. NJ, on the 18th inst, at
the residence of J. f. Henderson, and
proceeded thence to the residence of the
bridegroom, where an entertainment
was given to their friends.

we will have another wedding before
many weeks, at mot i'm which reporter
hopes to participate.

There was heavy fall of rain in this
vicinity the 18th inst, and land was bad

CULLEoKA INSTITUTE.
w. r. Webb's examination took place
on Monday and Tuesday last, in the
Methodist Church at this place. The
first day was devoted to the examine
ton of the smaller pupils mainly, and
the examination was most thorough and
impartial. The second day was devoted
to the larger pupils, and we have never
heard stricter or moro searching queS-
tions put to any pupils, but owing to the
low tone of voice in which many of the
questions were answered, and the loud
talking in the back of the house, we were
only able now and then to hear an ans
swer, but such as we did hear were very
creditable to both teacher and pupil.
The address by DIR. Kelly, of Nashville,
for pointed, practical sense, and for
adaptation to the time and occasion, we
have never heard excelled. He urged
upon the audience the necessity of root
ing out the idea that some kinds of labor
were more honorable than others, and
said that the only salvation of the South
was labor. He condemned the practice
of young men leaving the country for
the towns, and said, al speak what l
know when assert that there are ten
applications for clerkships where there
is one vacancy" He urged upon the la
dies, that if they were not able to procure
servants, to enter the kitchen them>
selves, and teach the laboring class that
labor is honorable, and it would not be
long before the difficulty would cease.
The address throughout was a splendid
effort, and was highly appreciated by
all present. The exercises closed with
a concert at night, which space forbids
us to mention.
c. s. Williamson's school will close
Friday, June 2, and an address will be
delivered by Whit Ewing, of Pulaski.

spring Hill Drum.

Before the war a fisherman caught
thousands of hickory shad, "a worthless
bony fish in his trap near Columbia.
and as Coiumbians were too smart to buy
them, he sent a wagon load to Spring
HILL, dry land town. The Spring
Hillians were told that they were
"Drum," an excellent fish, and they
bought them readily. Ever afterwards
the shad was known in these parts as
s.Sprjng Hill Drum"

The Crops.

Wheat is still the object of the farmers
fears and cares. In some sections the
rust is reported to be on the stalk, and
scarcely any fields are clear of it on the
blade. Corn, the favorite child of our
soil, is looking gieen, fresh and vigorous,
and We hear no>complaint of the cut
worms vet We believe there is very
rood stand, considering several weeks
of very unfayorable weather soon after
ii came up Cotton looks sick in many
places, and is gradually dying out. Up
on examination, the roots are discovered
TO be black, and many farmers who
thought they had aepod stand and CON
tinued to cultivate it,, are sur rised e
see the youngN1nk ing, gradually disaM
pearing like snow btNfe the sun. Tie
only salvation of many fields is to use
Capt. Blacks plan of cultivation. Oats

slow. Can any OF our horticulturists

To the Citizens Of Columbia.

You all see the necessity of good or
ganized Fire Department in this place,
from the last few fires we have had.
must say that the people of this place
are very backward in taking hold of an
engine, and helping TO work il ut fire,
or encourage others to do so. No. Fire
Company ought 10 have done much bet
ter work ut the last fire which We had,
at what is called "Noah's Ark" SOME
one NAV ask what was the cause. 1t
is simply this: We could not get any of
the bystanders 10 assist us work on the
engine, and the company was too small
to hold out. Our engine is large, and is
intended for a company of IS men, in
stead OF the Is or 20 men who try, to do the
duty of that number. So, won't the cit
liens and property owners look to their
own interest, and swell No. Fire Com
pany TO 90 or 20 good active members.
There are a great many men amongst
YOU who have got up the impression
that they have no property to work for,
is the reason they do not join Fire Com
pany. Have they not a father or a
mother, "A sister or brother, a wife or
child, or some good friend that they
may be able TO rescue from the flames.
or If they could not do it, perhaps some
of their brother firemen could. | have
no pnpperty that will burn, but then /
have friends that have, and if | never
had friends TO work,,for l know the good
of such an organization, and Iconsider it
NV duty as a citizen to encourage such
thing for the good of the community in
which / live.
ANY healthy man under the age of
forty, now living in the city of Column
bia, who does not join a fire company, is
not worthy of the name of citizen. This
community can have good fire depart
ment if they try, and the only way 10 do
that is to put their shoulders to the
wheels or their hands upon the rope.
Reader, l hope have not offended you
in any thing have said. Reflect mo-
ment and you will see that every word
is true, and for the good of all. Our en-
gine is in good working order, in which
condition intend to Keep it, if | have

Flirting.

A great Irritation is going on in the
celestial regions. 1t is between Venus,
the goddess of love and beauty, and Ju-
piter, father of gods and men. Any one
can see Its nightly progress by watching
the evening sky, where the fair goddess
NAV be seen displaying her airs and
yra!.o.. and bewitching the GOO whose
reputation as a faithful spouse is by no
means immaculate. All observers can
convince themselves of the truth of
these reports. We are sure that they
will see the fair syren taking the initia-
tive, clothed IN gold, sparkling with
precious stones, and looking so irresisti-
Div lovely that the heart of Jupiter must
zoe hard as stone not to he ensnared in
her bewitching tolls. But what does
she care for the hopeless passion she has
reused? 1t is only the browning trophy
of her victories that he who reigns in
Olympus should sue in vain for her ia
vori How can she have a heart who
sold the most beautiful woman in the
world for vote in favor of her unrival-
ad beautyf
