Bleed VIII Tell. Does It PAY?
Let the Following Facts aad
Figures Answer.

At the great sale of the Middle
Park Stud England thirteen stall
lions. one hundred and ninety-seYen
brood mares and tWenty-nine foaIs,
q total Of three hundred and thirty
nine head, were sold under the ham
mer for the enormous sum Of F9Ue
HHndrsS asd Iscelus 7hOasaRd, Five
HirSdrs6 and Seventy See Dollars IN
Cod! The sale lasted four days
and was attended by over ten thO1s-
and people. Mr.. Tatterstall, auc-
tiOneer, in his opening speech, said ::
blair Athol was, in his opinion, the
best horse in the WoFld." A Young
and patriotic corporation, entitled
the "Stud Company, saved for old
England the cream Of the blenkiron
stud, against competition Of all the
Continental Governments. Blair
AthOl sold for $64,5OO. HE made
his owners $4,000 per year in the
stud. Breadalbane sold for 500
600. Gladiator, the French bred
great Tace-hOrse and stallion, sold
for $4,000.
We feel more particularly inter
ested in noting the above fiom the
fact that our friend, Maj. Geo. +.
Altman, now has on his Stud Farm
Imp. Canwell, got by StockWell, sire
of Blair Athol.
With regret we announce the
DEATH OF LEXINGTON,
King OF the Turf. The world has
never produced his equal on the
turf and in the stud. His famous
race Of four miles In 7:I9R has never
been approached. The next best
races on record are by his sons and
his daughter Idlewild. He was
bred by DR.. Z. Waraeld. Fayette
KY, foaled in 1850. Sold
to Mr.. TenbrOke, who changed his
name 70 Lexington. He went blind
after his great race st New Orleans,
and was afterwards sold TO the late
r. A. Alexander for $4,000. His
produce has been worth milliens Of
dollars TO the stock men OF America.
His mantle is sure to fall on one Of
his sons, being in the regular line of
succession. Sir Archie was the best
son Of Imp. DiOmed, TimoleOn the
best son Of Sir Archie, Boston the
best son Of Timoleon, Lexington
the last and best son Of Boston,
LexiRgtoR's death is q national ca
laInity. He has done more good for
the country than hundreds OF poll
ticiRns combined. Vandal, the best
son of Glencoe, was foaled the same
year Of Lexington and died only a
few weeks since. The old land
marks are one by one disappearing.

The Fruit Growers Exposition.


Our handsome, agreeable aud YER
satiIe bachelor contemporary, A. S.
Hershey, OF the Columbia Herald,
gives the following as his impress
siOns of our Exposition and our
fair ladies, for which we thank him
The fruit Exposition, of which we
have spoken before, occurred at Pu-
laski, commencing Tuesday, the 18th
inst, and continuing five days. The
display of fruits was the finest we
have ever seen, and the arrangement
of the hall was exquisite, and I'M
mistakenly evidenced that the
charming ladies of that vicinity had
not neglected the study of esthetics;
and had acted the part Of that Wo-
man, spoken OF by the Wisest man,
who arose while her household yet
slept and put her house in order
against the day dawn. Nothing
was left undone that tended to make
the occasion pleasant TO home peo-
pie, ana agreeable to visitors. Be
sides the fruit display and q good
band of music, constantly in attend
ance, there was q charade, or con-
cert, each night in the Exposition
building, varying the entertainment
and making It delightful; but above
all the most attractive and fascinat-
| ing feature OF the Exposition was
the constant and liberal attendance
Of the ladies of the county, so long
noted for beauty, intelligence and
accomplishments. No fair, ExpOsi-
ton, or anything else, can be sue
cessfully conducted without the
sanction, aid and presence of the
ladies'; and We hope car ladies will
remember this fact in connection
with our approaching fair.
We were informed by those who
we're managing the enterprise, that
1t would not cost over eleven hun
drcd dollars and would be self-sus-
tanning. The receipts would have
exceeded the expenditures, but for
q rumOr that the hotel aceOmmOdR-
lions we're inferior and insufficient,
which kept hundreds Of people in
this and other places from attending.
People don't like TO attend strange
places and be dependant on private
hospitality for accommodation, il
matters rot how hearty the welcome
may appear to be.
We confess obligations TO numer-
GUS friends and acquaintances fOE
conrtesies extended ne, and other
visitors from this county, while
there.
Mr.. John Ballanfant, Of this coun-
", sent fifteen potatoes which weigh
ed seventeen pounds, 20 the Expo
sitiOn on Saturday. We have not
heard of the result, but are conf
dent they were the largest on exhi
bition.

his interest He proved this by an
able address which he made before

Went Rack On his Man

A man from the rural shades Of
Maury county had been spending
his time and breath upon our streets
in viudicatiug the claims Of Andrew
johnson to the support of this PEG
pie and in berating the friends of
Cheatham. He enthusiastically per
severed ia the task he had underta-
ken up to yesterday, when he met
up with one Of CUR citizens who is
sound On the gOose'' and Who took
the cue lac had been SO gracefully
welding and turned It against him.
After using up" the Maury county
orator Tor . while he turned him
loose, when 10! the whiiom support

vOciGerously espOused the cause of
the gallant Cheatham and went his
way singing his praises. A good

Our little community is all agOg
Just now about the Turnpike, and
permit me, Messrs. Editors, 70 urge
you to a continued effort for the en-

fag for enc moment. Pulaski Is al
most vitality interested in this mat
ter. Lincoln county has connected
her western boundary with Fayette-
vile by 3 good turnpike, and is
now competing with Pulaski for the
trade OF that fine country on Brad
shaw and Elk. The only chance
for Pulaski in this contest is to
build this road. So now let us all
work. Let US give a long pull, .
strong pull and pull together, and
we will succeed. We viii have q
turnpike meeting at Bradshaw on
the 18th Of September. Let all Pu-
laski come. The benign old god
dess Ceres has smiled upon as this
season, and the tall, lnxuFiant corn
