THE DENMARK MEETING.
Fifteen Hundred People in Conn.
Gil.
Great Enthusiasm.

The Railroad meeting at Denmark on
Saturday last was one Of the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held in the county.
Extensive preparations had been made by
the citizens. OF that section, and the crowd
was fully up to or above their expectation.
The Jackson delegation, with music, ban
ners and dags, moved into the town about
II o'clock, escorted by body of Denmark
horsemen, and were greeted with cheer up
on cheer as it moved through the principal
street to the grounds selected for the meet
ing. The opening speech was made by
General Campbell, and it went home to the
judgment and hearts Of the vast crowd. 1t
was a close, strong, convincing speech, now
and then gliding into pleasantly, or swell
ing into captivating eloqueuce. General
Campbell was followed by Col. Hogan, who
in his happiest style, entertained the meet
ing with a rare feast Of reason and elo-
quence for an hour and half Maj. Sykes
then made one ofthose pointed, irresistible
speeches for which he is so celebrated. At
ter which dinner was announced, and for
an hour the great crowd Toasted as few
crowds ever Toasted before. 1t was indeed
and in truth one Of the very best and most
bountiful public dinners we ever saw.
Great credit is due those who got up and
managed the feast, especially Grind Mar
shall W. A. Morgan and his assistants, who
seemed everywhere attending to the wants
of everyone. In short, the people of Den
mark and Western Madison showed them
selves worthy of their proud history, and
that yet in their breasts beat the big hearts
of old. The music furnished by the band
was superb, and received a perfect ovation
fIom the delighted crowd. Wswere proud
of the Jackson delegation on that day, the
Band, the Fire Department, the Cadets,
and the Union deserve special mention for
the perfect discipline maintained, and their
high bearing throughout the day. Nor
should Marshal Conger be omitted, whose
mathematical mind organized and govern
ed the Jackson delegation, and his assist
ants, who promptly and ably assisted him
in the discharge of his duties. All in all, it
was day long and proudly to be remem-
bered by the hospitable citizens of Vest
Madison and the delighted guests from
jackson; and the seed there sown will ere
long bring forth a bountiful harvest Of
wealth in the form Of a completed Jackson
and Memphis railroad.
At the conclusion OF the meeting an Or
sanization was effected for the immediate
raising Of the necessary stock, so as to or
ganize the company at once, and begin the
work Of construction from this city. 1t is
confidently believed that within the next
thirty days the forty thousand dollars re-
quired of West Madison will be raised. No
enc who witnessed the enthusiasm Of that
people on Saturday last, can doubt this con-
clusion Of the leaders of the enterprise.
Speed the day,

The County Court of Crockett met last
Monday and proceeded with business per-
tanning to the county. The Commissioners
will answer MasOn's bill, and have en-
pIoyed Gen. Campbell, with several others,
to defend it.
Business among the new elected officers
is dull, every one having any business for
them to do are waiting TO see what will be
dene.
suppose we will have two Assessors as
both counties claim the territory, and they
will be sure not to forget the taxes.

Our farmers are going to plant cotton

age to the lands.
Judge Black opened Court at CaEevilIe,

The Commissioners met at CagevilIe on

The military feature Of West Tennessee
College is above all praise. The knightly
