our old friend, Esquire Flanagan, OF
Lewis county, was III our city last week
with a wagon load Of "Goobers," tor
which he realized the handsome sHm
of 81 ~ per bushel. He OWNS a place
in Lewis county Tor which he paid s. %
Der acre, and upon that portion of it
which he planted in Goobers this last
year, he made so per acre, which is
much better than our farmers can do in
this county raising cotton on land that
cost $50 per acre, and it also demon
strates the fact, that the "Barrens" are
valuable for other things besides ''chig-
ers" and sticks"
Our esteemed friend and fellow-citizen,
Robert O.. harris, has almost finished q
very fine house on South-main street,
which euen the critical taste Of DR.. A. l..
L. Green could not fine fault with, (the
good Doctor thinks our houses are very
old-fashioned.l Mr.. Harris has sold his
new house to Capt. n. J. Vaughn, for
Si,uGG. If that handsome house can be
built for 5000, il is time many such
were being erected, instead of the old
straig ht-backed sort, which gives one,
with tropical blood in him, a cold chill
to look at.
John Henry Stauderman is dead.
Vino does not remember John Henry?
Certainly none in this vicinity. He said
ne was bora at Bingen, " Bingen on the
Rhine.n and lived and died true leu
ton. He was a well and cistern digger,
worker in rock, ETC., and was diligent
worker. even after he "fell out of Mr..
Andrews cistern," and broke his arm,
as he gra nhicalIy described that almost
fatal catastrophe. John Henry WAS a
kind-hearted soul, but he had one great
failing strong drink, which has ruined
many men OF tar more privileges of birth
and educ alton than he. 1t is said he
caught his death of cold in his inhospi-
table mansion, but the demon of drink
doubtless was the guiltier cause. lie
leaves no family.
The death of Mrs. Gen. Ewell caused
n pang of deep grief in the hearts of all
our citizens, to many of whom she was
intimately known. The Bible does no.
mention many women, and those few
were strong women, who impressed
their characters upon the age in which
they lived. Had she lived in Bible days.
it is highly probable that her strong
character, and deep religious nature,
would have impressed themselves suffi-
GENTLY on the times TO haye been deem
ed worthy OF record. She was
thorough SouthroD, and at the btgin-
Mug of the war, equipped large and
gallant company Tor the field, which was
named in her honor, "Brown Guards"
1t was commanded by Capt. Geo. w.
Campbell, and served with distinction
in Maney's First Tennessee Regiment
during the entire war. Mrs. Ewell was
not known by our people To be in great
danger, and her death was a great sur
prise. The Generals illness, Iowever,
was universally known, and wherever
known, lamentCd. Men have been for
weeks inquiring OF Uncle Tommy and
every person that comes in from Nash
