WHITE BLUFF, June 29-Our town is
located thirty miles west of Nashville on the
Nashville and Northwestern Railroad, in a
healthy locality, on the dividing ridge, and
on the highest ground between the Cumber-
land and Tennessee rivers. 1t has been
built up since the war, and contains six
stores, a steam saw-mill, wool-carding
factory, and a good hotel, where the weary
can be at rest.
Our county in the olden time was rich in
slaves, furnaces and FORCES, but the slaves
are free, and the iron-wdtks, with one ex-
ception, have "played out" Large tracts
of land formerly owned by iron masters
have been divided up and sold for farms.
The old coaling grounds are now fruitful
fields. The uplands Of this county are not
well adapted for corn, but produce wheat,
oats, rye, tobacco and peanuts OF the finest
quality and paying quantities.
The crop prospects are tine, and were
probably never better az this season OF the
year. This is the finest fruit region l have
ever seen, producing apples, peaches, pears,
ETC., Of the finest quailty. MI. 0ohn "
Jackson of our county raised last year,
apples which weighed twenty-five ounces
MIR. John CouItman of this county took the
premium on apples at the State fair last year.
There are orchards in this vicinity which
have never failed TO bear fine crop OF
apples and peaches. What we need are
more orchards and larger ones; for while
we have the finest soil and climate In the
world for fruit there are large quantities
imported from the North into our State at
heavy cost. This is all wrong, for our
farmers ought not only 10 supply our home
market with the best of fruit, but ought to
supply our neigh pors, when their crop fails,
az they frequently do farther North; be-
sides we have the best facilities for transpor-
tation.

but they are now almost unanimously IN
favor Of accepting Greeley and Brown, as
the surest means of restoring the country

CAPE OF THE OCcUrANrs.-i csterday afternoon
at about half-past . oclock the walls of atwo-
story brick building, Oil Thirteenth street be-
tween Main and Cary, cared in, carrying with
them the roof and the entire front wall, and
burying the furniture OFT rooms beneath
great mass Of bricks and mortar. FortuE-
ately tho persons living i'll the house were in
the kitchen, and escaped injury. Had they
been in either Of the front rooms they must
have met death without moments warning.
The occupants were Mr.. Bauman and FAM
lily. Dir. Bauman has been keeping bar in
the front room of the first floor, but had
broken up and was about to move, the house
having hecn rented TO some gentleman from
Baltimore. ...
The primary cause of the accident was the
undermining of the south wall Of the build
ing by some worklnen in digging the founda-
tion of house OH the adjoining lot. 4 week
a-o it was noticed that one OF the walls was
bending inward, and the police notified The
occupants OF the house to look out for I'm &C
cit,cnt. 1t came sooner than was expected,
and WAS probably hastened by the very high
wind which prevailed yesterday.
