We haye time and again called at
tenLion to the fact that Kuhn and Tur-
pin make the best buggies and carriages
in the South. In point of beauty and
material they are better than any others
we have examined. 1t is our intention
now togive one or two instances shows
ing that they sell as cheaply as can be
bought elsewhere. A well known mer~
chant OF Nashville recently examined
K. g. IS establishment, in order to find
a good, cheap buggy, to go to and from
his store. He was Immediately struck
with surprise, and told Mr.. Turpin that
he had just went through all the car
riage shops of Nashville, and found
there nothing half so elegant. His pur-
pose was to buy a cheap buggy, but he
was so charmed with the Keesee"
buggy, the handsomest thing that runs,
and worth 800, that he purchased it,
and it was sent to him few days since.
One of our wide-awake livery men re-
Gently went to Nashville to see if he
couli not buy cheaper buggy than
could be bought in Columbia. Mr..
Miller told him yes, but when Mr..
Mays. examined one of them he found
it lacked forty dollars worth of such
finishing work as he imperatively de-
manded; and he came back and bought
all the buggies he needed of Kuhn IL
Turpin. 1t would be a very strange
circumstance if, while people of other
towns come here to buy. buggies, because
OF itheir superior merit, some of our
own citizens were to go abroad for this
same purpose,

Saturday, the jury finding verdict OF
guilty as charged in the Indictment.
The case was argued for the prosecution
by Messrs. Thomas and Barnett and
Attorney General Russell; and Whit
thorne, Myers, Thompson, Looney,
and Webster for the defense. Great in
terest was manifested in the case
throughout. The speeches were able
and exhaustive--freguently astounding
in the most thrilling flights of eloquence
we over heard.

RELIGIOUs INTELLIGENCE

There will be Baptist services at
Beecher's School House Sunday morn-
ing at 1880 o'clock.
Rev. Mr.. Poole preached at Hunters
Chapel, last Sunday morning, to a
small rain or shine congregation.
Rev. A. w. Smith being absent at the
District Conference at Culleoka, there
was no service in the M. L. Church, in
this place, last Sunday morning. Rev.
Mr.. Poole, of st. Louis, was to have
preached at night, but it rained so that
there was no service. The Prcsbyte-
rians, however, assembled, in small
numbers, and Mr.. Otis preached an ed
flying sermon.
The District Conference of the Centre
vile District convened at the Method
list church in Santa Fe, on Thursday
evening, the 18th inst, Rev. j. G.. Bel
ton, z. E., presiding. Nearly all the
preachers in the District were present;
also large number of the official men,
bers. Res. w. w. Graves, from the Do
yer Circuit, preached the Introductory
sermon, on Thursday night. Friday
morning at s O'Clock, the business of the
Conference commenced, there being a
large amount to transact. Two more
sermons were preached, one by Rev. p.
4. Martin, of Big Bottom, and the other
by Rev. VIM. Cherry, of the Centreyille
Circuit. The business was all transact
ed harmoniously. Several short talks
were made in behalf of the temperance
movement. Rev. Mr.. Cherry was not
only IN favor of being temperate as 10
whisky, but also tobacco and coffee.
Rev. w. M. Robinson, of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church, and Rev. Mr.
Williams, of the Missionary Baptist
Church, were in attendance; also Revs.
VIM. Burr and Henry North, of the
Franklin District. Mr.. Burr preached
one of his best sermons on Sunday
morning. TIE attendance was very
good, considering the almost incessant
rains, which came down in torrents at
the commencement OF the meeting. The
citizens of Santa Fe and vicinity had
plenty OF provisions on the ground for
dinner every day during the Conference.
Mr.. +. NJ. Fuller, agent for the Maury
County Auxiliary Bible Society, was
present, and after the business of the
Conference had all been transacted, he
delivered an address and formed a sub
society or about thirty members, and
expects to add fifty more to it before
he leaves Santa Fe. The Cumberland
PresbyteriaEs very kindly rendered
their church for preaching on Sunday,
which was to have been occupied by
Rev. VIM. Cherry, but owing to the
rain he did not preach.
Rev. j. III. Morton, of the Christian
Church, and Rev. w. III. Vernon, of the
Presbyterian, and both of Maury county,
have been preaching at Lewisburg.

This establishment - situated In the
northern part Of Lawrence county, on
| Little Buffalo River, aDd3 about thirty
six miles west. Of Columhia. It has
/ fifty-six looms, and twenty-one hun
dred spindles, and makes an excellent
article Of cotton goods. The factory
gives employment to about seventy-five
persons, mostly females; and Is sur
rounded BY small village of very neat
cottages, all or most Of which have q
fertile garden attached. The girls make
very good wages, and as subsistence is
cheap, they are enabled to save consid-
cradle money. The operatives are all
very worthy people. aud generally are
quite Industrious. Mrs. Mahala Stages
is an unusually energetic old lady, who
has lived in the vicinity Of the factory
almost or quite since 1t was first put in
operation. She is the mother of twenty
three children, most Of whom are living.
teen miles from the factory, and we are
informed by trustworthy gentlemen
that she would cook enough in the
morning for her husband and small
children at home, in the morning, and
after walking fourteen miles, cook three
meals for her daughters at work in the
factory, and then return TO her husband
at home. She thus cooked for two large
establishments, and walked twenty
eight miles, in one day. She has a
son, Eb, who inherits some OF her walk
ing qualities. He once walked to Co
lumbis. distant thirty-six miles, by
four o'clock, p. M; and starting back at
8 or 10 o'clock of the Same day, he ar
rived at the factory. before breakfast,
Making in all, walk of seventy-two
miles In one day and night.
Another remarkable character to be
found at the factory is Nicely Brewer,
aged ninety-three years, who has four
hundred and thirteen children, grand
children, and great-grand-children. He
is still well and hearty and several weeks
ago applied to Mr. Clark Jones to
work on the mill-dam, when it was
repairs. He was soldier
in the war of 1912, and was with Gen.
Jackson when he cut out the "Natchez
Trace" road, and when the battle OF
New Orleans was fought. 1t is said
that if, on going from the factory to
Wayne Furnace, you meet any one in
the road, you may very safely address
him as Mr.. Stages, or Mr.. Brewer, so
are those two families in that
section. t

would soon be Q city. It WAS at the
junction Of. two railroads - -
Agroe$ many mem argued to them
selves that II they would bold on and
not invest 10 the matter. enterprising
men would build the road without any
cost to them, and they would sreceive
as many advantages as they would.
They were mistaken. Unless all the
people worked the read would go
around Columbia. - yessl5--f,r-s..
Some of them are afraid to invest
because they say it may not pay; that
hey embarked in similar enterprises
and lost money. Because roads finish
ed at the very breaking out Of the war
didn't nay, it was no criterion to go by.
The road will pay now. The Decatur
road cost in this county, $75O,0O0. All
the proposed road will only cost about
$4,000. rri,ssgs es4ere Il
The narrow gauge roads are no longer
experiments. They are in actual opera
ton in various parts of the country.
(Here the speaker gave some very val
liable information and statistics, which
the want of space compels us to defer
publication till some future issue.)
The road would pay because it cost so
little to build it. If we would grade
and cross-tie the road, a company would
furnish the rolling stock, take the road
and run il. To grade and cross-tie the
road would cost about 81 600 per mile.
The Decatur road increased the value
of property ir the county 100000,
and the projected one would do a great
deal more. Property would increase in
Columbia ten fold, and there was no
necessity for young men to run of to
Texas or anywhere else. 1ih
COL. L. d. MYERS
took the stand at half-past eleven, and
stated that on account of the lateness
of the hour, he would not make speech.
He had on previous occasions given ex-
preston to sentiments on the question.
He was in favor of the enterprise. It
would bring us manufactures, and they
would build us up in solid wealth. No
agricultural people ever got rich.
Egypt, the granary ofthe world, was as
poor to day, as it was when Moses lead
the Children of Israel across the Red
Sea. Agriculture had never made the
South rich. The raw cotton raised in
this county yearly was worth about
81 100000 in its raw straw; and was
worth about 100000. The Southern
people curse the Yankee for his indus
try and shrewdness, and at the same
time make him rich, by allowing him to
work up all the raw material. >F
Maury county had good streams, a
climate, and fertile soil, and
only needed the projected railroad to
bring cheap coal and iron to make it
great manufacturing place. There was
no permanent and solid wealth without
manufactures, and without them neither
political nor commercial independence.
The road would bring us in direct COM
with Memphis, the flu
ture great city of the Southwest, and st.
Louis, the future great city of the world.
After the speaker concluded, it was
proposed to raise $333.00 to make the
survey with, and the prompt response
of the crowd showed that the people
were in earnest.

taking an earnest interest to secare ano-
Their Railroad for Columbia. Like ev-
cry thing else he undertakes, he brings
to this enterprise very superior finan-
cial ability. and great zeal, which are al
most equivalent to success. He has
couceiveda plan for making railroad and
turnpike improvements in Maury cOun-
ty, which must at once strike every one
with its practicability and utility, and
enlist their interest. Below we give q
synopsis of his plan, and trust that it
will be presented to and accepted by our
people. He proposes that the county
issue bonds with which to build rail-
roads or turnpikes through every por-
ton of the county: thus making the
bonds benefit the humblest citizen in it.
Not a neighborhood is to be lett out, but
all are to be benefited with good roads:
