OUTLOOK OF NASHVILLE.

10 the Union and American:
While private citizen, feel mich inter-
est for the present and future success of my
city ss a mart for the provision trade, con-
nected as it is, with our general wholesale
merchandise. l have been very recently
visiting your several depots, noticing tie
shipments for and to the Southern market.
While they are immense generally, noticed
one that certainly exceeds any one ship
ment sent from our city ever before, and
feel this is but the budding of the future if
we can only keep the right sort of merch-
ants with us who have the nerve and inter-
est Of the city at heart. l saw 43 cars of
beautiful white corn sent with one bill of
lading from the house of our enterprising
wholesale -four and grain merchant D. F.
Noel, to one house at the South, bought on
order. This is truly large shipment, but
learn Mr.. Noel is working to make Nash
vile, not only the point to buy Swans
down" and Seem of the Burg" -four, but
is determined it shall be the lowest corn
market for the many customers and friends
he has in the South. He is working for
this and bis success is palpable, as the reg
listers of freight at depots already indicate,
from his house.
sCSJ SLY ICdL eSteGS - suNaIlClDg3 as IL
should, but not comparable to what it must,
within the next two years. You want
more liberal, public spirited, enterprising
men in your city. You certainty have less
number of such than any city called South
ern. Call for such through your columns;
bid them come and see; our sister at termi-
nus of the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad will soon be rival, and a formi-
dable one, if we don't wake up to what is
our duty. "CITIzEN."

Medisons, as now you have as good as eny

reffrns you can go to -, they sir not &C
guainted with me, but they are acquainted

all sorts OF bitters, chill medisOns, or eney
thing will cure disess, will sell fast in this
country, and when eney one wonts medi-
son they have to go to Sherman, and they
youse lots of it. There was 10 of Gus in
Family and we used 3 bottels of quenine in
a bout months. You can give a guess

A Famous SuIhy.

The sulky taken to New Orleans with
Highland Maid when she went to that place
in company with Lady Sufold, twenty years

received four coats of paint, and 1t looks to-
day nearly as good as new, but somewhat
out of style. There is not loose bolt about
it, and it is to-day capat lie of carrying man

it at that rate. II weighs 10 pounds and
