Ho F! for Column bia.

We give below notice sent t.
the Commissioners on the part of
Lincoln county, and also inviting
any others of our citizens who fee
an interest in the matter, to .at
tend a meeting at Columbia on
next Saturday, the 9th inst. We
do earnestly hope good repre-.
sentation from our county will be
present t..that meeting. 1t is of
very great Importance to our coun.
ty, giving by far the best promise
of another outlet for our products.
The. connections we'll soon OBJ
tain through the Road we have,
will furnish a sufficient outlet
South for whatever we may wish
to send in that direction-and an
outlet North will then be almost
a necessity. Besides, the Road
proposed runs through a good
country all the way, and has been
shown to be not anSexpensive
Road to build. We propose to re.
turn to this subject again, only
saying further now that we hope
our people will see to their o,on in.
terests by attending this meeting.
Remember Saturday, the 9th of
July:
COLUMBIA, Tenn, June "a, ~.
DEAR SIR-At a meeting of
the friends of the proposed Mar.
row Gauge Rail Road from Fay
etteville via Lewisburg, Colum-
bia and Centerville to Johnson
vile, you were selected as a COM
missioner from your county. A
meeting of all the Commissioners
from the several counties through
which the said Road is to be bailt,
is proposed to be held in this
place on Saturday, the 9th day
Of July, 1872. Allow me to say
that we have reliable information
that wherever this class of Roads
has been tried, experience has
and is abundantly establishing its
eXcellencies for travel, for COM
nerce, and especially for the trans
porta;ion of the surplus products
Of our country, mineral and agri-
cultural. All that is necessary is
to fix public attention upon the
subjt ct, and satisfy the public of
its utility and practicability, to
insure its completion. We in
dulge the hope that you may en-
US with your presence
and the aid of your counsel upon
hat occasion. We invite the
presence of any of your citizens
that may feel an interest in this
Undertaking. Very respt'y your
obt. serv't, JAMES FL. THOMAS,
Chairman, etc.

Fathers and Mothers.

lfyou occupy these relations now, or are
about to do so, study well your constitution
If you have acquired or inherited Scrolula
or any disease which may be transmitted
to your offspring, it is your solemn du-
ty to eradicate it. Thousands OF children
are now suffering from the effects of
poisonous diseases transmitted to them from
their parents. The thought is terrible.
You can save yourselves much sadness and
solicitude and your dear little ones much
pain and unhappiness by the timely use
of DIR. TUFTS Sarsaparilla and Queens
Delight. 1t will surely eradicate the faint
from your system, or if it has already been
entailed upon your child, give it at once this
valuable preparation and its system will
be renovated and restored to sOundness.

Who Wants a Wife?

band is something decidedly
novel. 1t would scarcely an
swer in Tennessee, for it woult
be difficult to make the publ,
believe that woman SO lacking
in modesty could be honest. anC
common opinion would be sure
/ to maintain that some hOrribl,
secret was at the bottom of hel
application. Miss Lydia Arm
strong Of Grant county, Iowa
advertises for husband, how
ever, and apparently with al
honest purpose. Like a sensi-
bic woman, too, she declares
that "money is no object" but
her husband "must be healthy
and willing to work" The
next question that suggest it
self though, is Miss Lydia
"healthy and willing to work, y
or are those excellent qualities to
be limited to the possession Of
her partner only i'll the matrimo-
NAL firm? Miss Lydiacsn have
20 money herself, and hence ex-
poets her husband to labor for
her support as we'll as his own;
but is she an invalid besides?
Is she cripple? Is she in the
<'vale Of years." or is she youth
ful2 Is she <'ugly as mud" or
comely if not exactly hand
some? Lydia's notable silence
on these points is fearfully sug-
gestive,
We are afraid that Lydia
seeks in a husband only those
attributes of which she is
destitute herself! IF so, she is
not "healthy" and she abhors cx-
ergo, she is "homely as
sickly and indo-
lent people cannot well luxuri-
ate in much personal loneliness.
The only wonder is, consider
ing her unfastidious notions on
the subject Of love and matri-
mony, that Lydia does not put
herself up as a first class prize
in a lottery. She would be
quite as likely to secure a good
husband in that manner as by
advertising for one, and the pro-
ceeds Of the sale Of tickets
would purchase a cradle at any
rate, as we'll as q bread-trough,
table and stove-all of them in
dispensable adjuncts to a hyme-
neal speculation in Iowa,
Lydia is truly unfortunate
in Rehabilitation, if husbands are
so scarce in Iowa that it is nee
essary for eligible women to
scare them up by means Of a
newspaper. We advise her to
come to Lincoln county. The
Welsh have a saying that at
tempted matrimony is "bob-
bing for an eel in a barrel of
but the Welsh are not
remarkable for philosophy, and
know very little about Iowa.
Miss Lydia is evidently in
clined to fancy that nothing
but fish will come to her net,
and that only "big fish" will
with herself for bait
FishY proceedings altogether.
