ATNZAo IA "a
WIZ tkat ind0ihitabltt energy and
perseverance, which 50 sixpalIy mark
the general character of the Citizens
Of New Providence, the long talked
Of and much desired road has been
opened up from Trice's Landing, in
tersecting with the highway leading
from Clarksville to- Waveriy. The
good citizens of this place and the
surrounding country are indebted TO
the energy and Industry Of Mr.. Jas.
@. Daily for the early completion Of
this road, and we will state en- pas
SAINT, that If those IN authority desire
the early construction Of the CIarks-
vile and Princeton Railroad, and will
place the same IN the hands Of Mr..
Daily, the travelling public can safely
purchase their tickets and pack their
trunks. A No. ferry noat has been
procured by Mr.. Herndon, the indie
fatigable W Jrkerand thiniSerofTrice's
Landing. Said boat Is OF about 100
tons burthen, and has been inspected
by competent authority and pro-
nounced entirely sea worthy. So
we now say to the Southsiders, bring
on your tobacco, wheat, corn, oats,
COOLERS, bacon, lard and things, and
receive in exchange for same, hats,
caps, boots, shoes, sugar, coffee, can
dy or greenbacks. 1t don't matter
what you want. you can get 1t, and If
you wish to;bring In load of chick
ems, turkies, eggs, butter or mutton,
you can peddle the same from sunrise
till sunset If you wish to do so, with
out mourning any penalty for the in
fraction Of city ordinance, or even
that OF having a city official peep in
to your wagon and nudging you on
the arm, say, 1.-THE mayor hath need
of thee" This road will certainly be
a very great benefit and convenience
to those farmers living on the south
side OF the Cumberland river, for
heretofore, when we had no road, the
farmer knowing the many and diver
sified advantages IN selling his pro,
duce in New Providence, would still
lind his way 70 THIS market. But the
incredulous may ask, In his honest
simplicity, Is 1t really true that New
Providence Is the place to sell pro-
duce? We answer, most emphati-
cally, 1t is, and Will give two definite
and legitimate reasons for the asser'
ton; lst. IL Is universally known
ana admitteu that no farmer having
once soid ms produce IN our c'ty mas
ever JAILED 10 make an enort 70 sell
again 10 the same parties' ana ms
TOO, IN the lace OF the many oinicui'
ties when nave h'therlo iain IN tne
way OF gettihg 10 our market. "a. ~
is universally known and admitted as
being true that our buyers Will make
the farmer a liberal offer for his pro
duce. Should this offer prove unsat-
isfactory. then all In the world the
farmer has to do is to fix his price
and our buyers with that liberality
which has always characterized
them) will come to it. Now / would
not in this intimate anything to the
injury Of our buyers, but merely wish
to delineate their great and extreme
desire to accommodate; hence wher
we say they will come to the plan
ter's terms, we mean that they have
done this in many instances to thei
own very great injury. We nigh
give many other and cogent reasons
too, why the planter should sell RICH
here. In the city Of New Providenc'
we have one bank, two hotels, eigh
dry goods houses, ten groceries, tw,
drug stores, one tin house, one sad
dler shop, four boot and shoe shops
and as many drinking saloons as arr
needfh for a city of this size, all do
ing a thriving business, especially tn
latter, and thanks to liberal spirite'
age, no planter wishes to sell his pro
duce without taking at least q small
proportion in barter, and II he so de
sires, he can get accom- modated her
at the lowest possible margin. 1t |
hardly necessary to call the attention
