life of endless slavery when they con-

be fed and clad by their labors. -
PROSPERITY.
The coming of the Padueah road
makes these people very happy. They
now begin to "see their way out of the
woods" and this causes the increase in
the value of lands. The northern part
of this county will soon be it's richest
and most attractive district. The
Raleigh Narrow-gauge and the Paducah
roads will make thorough change in
the condition of this once isolated
people. The change viii come gradu-
ally, but will be none the less marvel
Gus, and all the wise and generous will
bless the deeds and memories of the rail-
road builders of Tennessee, of which the
APPEAL has been the most valuable and
effective agent that ever toiled in behalf
of schemes of public benefcence.
CANDIDATES.
The candidates and the worms are

CURIOUS.
1 Twas atRembert's mill yesterday, and
saw the Plantation Compress. Rembert
is a rare genius. He has expended sew
eral thousand dollars perfecting his in
vention, and after COMPRISING his own
crop and those of his neighbors, he went
before the public with his simple, cheap
and perfect machine. He needs some
five or six thousand dollars to begin the
manufacture of his compress, y and the
South will be saved by their use from
two TO five millions per year. Such is
the limitless power which one mule ex-
erts with this machine, that the single
animal can squeeze all the oil from a
bale of cotton seed. A model of the
compress at ROyster & Trezevant's in
duced me to visit Rembert's and see the
machine itself. 1t is all and more than
has been claimed for it.
... COTTON SEED. iiHs
Such has been the anxiety of the ne
groes to make money that they have
sold all the cotton seed in the country
to the Oil-mills, and now that ifbad
stand" appears, there is no possible way
of remedying it. There had been no
rain for five weeks, and the cotton seed
planted did not sprout, and many a
farmer is almost ruined; his cotton crop
is already a complete failure. This ca
lamity extends over many counties. The
cotton seed oil-mills have thus wrought
extraordinary evils.
PARADISE.
You have praised the beautiful homes
east of Memphis, and the bright, at
tractive farms along the Memphis and
Charleston road. You have lauded the
genius of Wicks, who begat this delight
ful condition of the country, who paint
ed the cottages so brightly and the
fields with the deepest green. 1t is a
land, and never was there a
people who owe more to the genius of
steam than they who have built villas
and made gardens as beautiful as those
of Italy, when Italy was Rome and
Rome the worlds capital, along the
Memphis and Charleston road. Such
beauties Of nature and art combined,
and mAtchless wealth will be developed
everywhere in this vicinity. Come
now, and then, year later, and ON Big
Creek you viii see what marvels are
wrought by railways. H. A. w.
