People imprudently eat vegetables
everywhere, it seems.
Sallie, little daughter Of Captain
Richard Beard, of MurfreesbOrO,
received the premium of n solid
silver fruit stand, offered by the

George NJ. Smack, formerly edi-
tor of the Pike Co.. Indiana Demo
crat, and of the Coffee county Dem
ocrat in this State, of the Prairie

The Huntingdon Republican thus
speaks Of our friend En-. Etheridge:
"Emmerson Etheridge, the George
Francis Train of Tennessee; the
Diogenes of America; the McCaw-
Ter (Micawler?) of the age; and the
Spotted Tail of his tribe, was in
Mckenzie last week.
The Dyersburg Gazette thinks
that town must have n ten thousand
dollar college, if IL is ever to pros
per and grow" Better have fewer
colleges, and better schools. There
are about a dozen chdTteTed-b
not a single active tCOrkiHg college
in West Tennessee.
Mr.. John Collins, living near
BoOn's Hill, Lincoln county, was
thrown from his horse some ten
days ago, and one of his arms was
broken. II was carefully set by a
physician, and he was apparently
doing well, when lock-jaw set in
and he died.
They had "gala day" at Lynch
burg, the capital of Moore County,
| last understanding to the Pio-
neer. The great international Cir
Gus was there, and the people were
there, and the Pioneer was as happy
as a clam at high-tide. The editor
had a dead-head ticket and was there
of course.
The editor of the Brownsville
Bee, with a benevOlence character
| istic of the profession, has invented
a new light for the especial use of
the City Fathers of that burg. 1t is
a post, with a small boy perched on
top, with AN oil lamp in each hand.
They have no gas at Brownsville.
The Mckenzie Times says:
Our Weather Editor predicts a
parching drOuth in July and Au-
gust, and from q long acquaintance
and close connection with him, we
have learned TO look upon his pre-
dictions almost in the light of
prophecies; therefore, we advise all
to get ready for it.
The Lebanon Herald says there
was a wild panic in that place last
Sunday week, about cholera. A
Young man ate of Cove Oyster, ice
cream and strawberries, and went
bathing in the creek, while labOring
under diarrhOea,, and hence the pam
| ic. We had not supposed the usual
ly sensible people of Lebanon could
be stampeded in that way.
There were six deaths of cholera
at Gallatin for the two weeks, end
ing Friday, June 18th. They were
ali colored, and lived in low, fiat
part of the town. On the 18th one
white woman, Mrs. ISIS, died in four
or five hours after being attacked.
That is all the deaths that have taken
place in Gallatin of that disease. So
says the Examiner, and we know it
is true.
The Nashville Union and Ameri-
can mentions as remarkable cir
cumstance that there had not been
single death in DIR. j. w. HOyts
(secSnd Presbyterian Church in
Nashville, during the cholera excite
ment there and but one in Rev. I.
A. HOyt's list Presbyterian Church,
though the members of the two
churches reside in every portion of
the city.
A difficulty occurred on the farm
of Capt. w. A. Shaw, in Haywood
county, Sunday before last, between
two young men residing on the
place, named respectively Conner
and Clark. Clark was shot in the
neck by Conner, with a ball from a
small Smith & Wesson pistOl-not
dangerously. Conner, In default of
bail, was sent to Jail. Making a
walking battery of ones person in
these days don't pay.
The Dyersburg Gazette says that
reports calculated to ruin the char
aciers or two ministers OF the Cos
pei, a married lady and young la
DIV, have been rife i'll that cOmmu-
nifty for some days. No names are
given. The Gazette says: sit would
be a healthy public sentiment that
would justify man in taking the
law and double barrel shot gun in
tOihis own hands, and blowing the
slanderer of female innocence into
atoms too small for an inquest to
be held over his remains" Better
go slow on such teachings.
Tho Bolivar Bulletin gives a glow
ing account of the crop prospects in
Hardeman county. 1t says: Most of
the cotton and corn fields around
Bolivar present a clean and thrifty
appearance. Oats are looking re-
markably fine, and the few patches
of clover to DO seen are really beau
tiful. BY the way, seeing that clo-
yer grows so luXuriantly i'll this vi
entity, is it not a great wonder that
more land is not devoted to its cul-
tiyation. We have seen many of
the clover fields of the Northwest,
but they do not excel those of Har-
deman, except in number and ex-
tent. Really there is no excuse for
our consumption of Northern grown
hay, and the farmers of this section
can make hay while the sunshines,
