MCKENZIE, TENN, Dec. %, ISL
Believing an occasional letter from a
business man Of travelling habits would not
be uninteresting to at least a portion of the
peoples" readers, l must again send an
other communication to the columns of your
excellent and popular journal.
M'KENZIE
is on the highway of improvement. Several
new buildings are in course of erection. not
the least important Of which is the new no
tel, the floor and covering to which are be
ing laid. The Mckenzie House, under the
judiciOus and satisfactory management
of its pleasantly polite proprie-
tor, receives large patronage.
EDUCATIONAL.
Realizing the Importance of education in
its more than ordinary branches and appre-
ciating the immediate benefits of a collie
gate institute to a community when lOca-
ted in its midst, an effort to raise $1,000 for
the purpose of removing Bethel College,
located at McLemOresville, to Mckenzie, is
being made by the citizens of the latter
place. OF the above amount, all save
about $500 has been raised by individual
subscription, and those interested in the
subject are sanguine of securing the rest of
the money in the same manner.
HUNTINGTON
is doing lively business in cotton, corn
and groceries. The subject Of most ex-
citing interest to her citizens at present is
THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
The cause of building a railroad from
Huntington to Jackson is warmly esp0used
and strenuOusly advocated by men of
wealth and capital. Most persons with
whom have cOnversed upon this subject
seem confident of securing the'road within
a short while, and say the people along its
proposed line are much interested in having
the road completed. They regard this CON
nection as one productive of many adyan-
tages to the county, and especially to the
farmers, as it would affort. them additional
facilities for getting their products to
market.
IMPROVING.
Baggage Master Jas. I. Kempsey, who
was wounded in the railroad accident last
week near Waverly, where he has remained
since that time, is improving as fast as
could be expected, and ere long his friends
may look for his temperance among them.
NASHVILLE DRUMMER5 ABROAD.
1t is gratifying to see that Nashville mer-

Ewing, PendletOn & Co, d. W. Winston,

cupied his post.

some important piece of machinery from

to town from the mountains on Tuesday and
reported that squaw, who is living with an
other hunter, had learned that white man
was seen by Indians between Bald Mountain
and the river about tho time Ii. l.. Crowell
is supposed to have been lost. She says the
Indians told. that the man offered them a
small sum to pilot him out, but what they did
is not known. Out of this has grown reports
that Crowell's body had been found, but up
to this time we can learn nothing in confr-

be found through the Indians which is about

THE RAIN HAS CoME.-0n Saturday last
the long wished for rain commenced falling.
1t continued with slight intermissions until
Wednesday Morning. 1t fell steadily but
gently, the parched earth absorbing it so
freely that notwithstanding the fall was up
wards of four and a-half inches there was but
little running water. Everybody is pleased,
the dust is overcome, our farmers are busy
ploughing, the anxious faces specializing as
to the prospects for rain are no more to be
seen. The hopes for a successful season for
the husaandman are strengthened, the pros
pect for the miner is improved, oil by rain
for few hours, what blessing it is to have
rain when it does so much good and makes
all classes happy and contented.
