Onr Levee Proepecl.

There was never an enterprise which
was received with more sincere sympa
thy and good will, than the idea of a
levee and railroad from Hickman to the
highlands of Madrid Bend, by the peo
pie of this community. Yet, with all
this the enterprise hangs FIRE. We want
organization and some earnest practical
work. What is every body's business is
nobody's business. Hence, the work
moves slowly. No one man eau, or
should be expected, to leave his private
interests, aud give the enterprise that
close, practical attention, necessary to
success. With thorough, earnest can
vass. letting the people know exactly
and truthfully what is expected of them,
and how the work is to be done, etc, we
think there can be no doubt Of success
Our temporary organizations should
advance a step further. They should
select some reliable, competent, efficient
man as agent, to devote his whole and
entire attention to the enterprise, solicit
ing stock in private aud public, and to
every general interest, and for which he
should receive liberal and competent
salary, to justify his exclusive attention
to this and nothing else. If the Ken
tucky and Tennessee organizations, can
and employ an undeniably |
active, live, thorough going agent, to
give the enterprise his exclusive atten
ton, twelve months, in our opinion, will
see the Levee and Railroad in operation.
If it is made to wait on the public spirit
of this and that one, it may drag its slow
lengths along to complete failure.

puff suppose he expects US TO
pronounce it good thing" but as we
don't know anything about it, we decline
to do so. We do know, however, that our
people complain of the scarcity of money,
that these travelling shows are heavy
drains upon the people, that they carry
much money out of the country and
return very little. Therefore in view of
these facts, and the sweltering hot weather.
(and it must be insuffe-ably hot jammed
up under one of these show tents on such
days as these,) we suggest, that every
sensible man, stay at home, aud save his
money. Our county willbe several hun
dollars better off if all will so act.

as happy as young soul could be up to

morphine for neuralgia pains with which
she was threatened or perhaps then sui

having exhibited The least consciousness
from the time her condition was discov-
cred TO her death.
The deceased was one of the most es-
Unable. beautiful, aud highly apprecia-
ted young ladies about Hickman. She
was. we believe. in her 18th year. Who
shall presume to measure the unutterable
sense OF loss which pervade the hearts ot
