Columbia and Fayetteville Railroad.
Pursuant to call large and enthusi-
astic meeting of the citizens of Maury
county convened at the Court House,
last Monday, Hon. James II. Thomas,
presiding. The meeting was opened by
Hon. James II. Thomas, with o telling,
convincing, and comprehensive speech,
showing that he fully understood the
importance Of the proposed railroad to
the county of Mmlry. The cheapness of
construction, and tho saving of expense
In running, together with tho wealth of
the country through which the contem-
plated road was to pass, all insured
the success of the enterprise, beyond a
doubt. A proposition has been submit
ted from responsible parties to build the
road for 5000 per mile, and pay 6 per
cent. interest on the stock, II the con-
structors were permitted to retain pos>
session ofthe road, and all its equip
ments would be turned over to the
stockholders in good repair, without
further charge. he then showed how
the through connections to the North,
East and South, would build up every
point along the proposed road, and es-
pecially mako Columbia, Lewisburg
and Fayetteville, important trade CEN
tres, which would at once invite capt.
talists and tradesmen to locate among
rs, and carry on all the useful enter
prises 80 much needed in the South;
thereby giving us homo market for
the small produce of the farmers, and
thus accumulate money at home, which
would greatly lessen taxation, besides
making money plenty at all seasons of
the year. -
Mr. Thomas was then followed by
Capt. s. w. Steele, who described the
route, the cost per mile, showing why
the road could be built and equipped
for 81, 900 per mile by tho contractors,
who after paying 6per cent. interest on
The bonds, would have a handsome sum
lett for their trouble. This was done by
comparing the length Of road with the
Nashville u Decatur Railroad, the Louis
vile Il Nashville Railroad, and the
Tennessee Il Alabama Railroad, from
1856 to 1850; showing that from Nash
vile to Decatur, 122 miles, the aggregate
OF the several counties was
166, 900, with an aggregate landed wealth
of sos, 000, 900; while the distance to Fay
etteville was but 43I, with an aggregate
of 81 900, and an aggregate
landed wealth Of $i7, 5O0, 900, thus giving
to the Columbia and Fayetteville route
a decided advantage as regards local
trade. Taking the gross receipts of the
n. e. d. r. r., 1870, at S463, $3.50, and
divide by g., and We have $l54, 450.83.
From which we deduct, ~ ~

Thus, at dash, put the whole county

that they should pay at least per cent.

lecture on Brazil last Sunday
night at tho Presbyterian Church. The

Rev. Mr.. OTIS, the Presbyterian Pastor,
opcncd the services by reading Christ'S

making a few appropriate remarks.
He said the Elders Of the Presbyterian

counts, or reports, Of the progress of
missions in Brazil, Mexico, Franco, It.

came forward and presented some val

condition OF The missionary work in
that Empire. Ills MEMORANDA having
been written with pencil, he COLD not
read it, and had to depend on his mcIl-
orv, but il was 4 very interesting report,

On Christian Duty.


Redeeming the time, because the days are evil
EPH v: l6.
These we're the words Of the Apostle Paul, in
his exhortation to the Ephesian Christians; that
they should walk ,oarily and be filed with the
Spirit.
Surely there are few of us, as protested Chris
tians, who lay the designed stress on these words
The private Christian is too ready to form excuses
for his Deficiencies in the requirements of gou'
duties. He is disposed, too frequently to think
there is nothing for him to perform, nothing tc
concern him but the salvation of his own soul al
that it is solely and entirely the service of the min
lister to exert influence over our fellow creatures
and to bring souls to Christ This however is
great mistake. The private Christian has work
a little less nomentous, but none the less impor
tant, than that of public minister of the gospel
1t is enjoined upon all who profess Christ anC
Him crucifed, to live and labor for Cod and i
the heart is really fixed on such an end, then il
must gain that end, or break in losing it,
There are many difficulties which Christian
must encounter; many things to endure and many
to discourage him. but he has the cheering, com
forting words of the Saviour to sustain him in al
such trials. 1t is, nevertheless, too generally The
he case that we are Selfish, cold aud Indifferent
about the souls of Others Some of us think i
only encumbent upon 3. 70 spend the Sabbath il
doing good. But Their is such an amount Of un
iaithfulness in our wa and conversation, in Oui
daily department and6 4erc0urse with others, tha
any degree of l.'s4sg 1dtSs we have been enabled
to manifest on the hord' S day, is almost neutral
ICED by the want of circumspection which oui
everyday life exhibits. walk ye circumspectly
not as FOOLS but as wise, is intended TO be prac
ticed not only on the Sabbath, but at all times
What shall we think Of our undone duties, ou
unimproved hours, our times OF prayer omitted
D sins of omission! Using the words of Arch
bishop Usher, let US ask, Lord, in special, for
give me my sins of omission" Therefore, " A
we have opportunity let us do good unto all men.

Which none bu thon can'st e'er inspire;

of the time, it was not our privilege to hear the

which pervaded the body it may be hoped that the
