We paid a visit to Messrs. Cox &
Dunlap's Vineyard last Sunday eve
ming and were very agreeably vel
coined and entertained by the accom-
modating Mr.. Dunlap. He informed
us, and we saw, that the vines were
full of grapes, in perfect condition.
The fruit trees are also full, except the
late varieties, which are about half full.
Mr.. Dunlap thinks this an advantage,
however, as the fruit viii be much
finer. They have about $500 gallons
of wine of the vintage of last year and
the year before, and about 100000 cut
tings of choice varieties of grapes,
which he feels confident will be sold
this year. Everything is in splendid
condition and gives undoubted promise
of bountiful yield this season. Messrs.
Cox q Dunlap's enterprise has proven
a magnificent success and has demon
strated the practicability of grape cuI-
ture in Tennessee. This is their fifth
year, and the vineyard is not only self
sustaining but is firmly upon a paying
basis. Mr.. Dunlap will accept our
thanks for his courtesy.

Week before last we stated that a
young man of Pulaski was about to be
married in North Alabama, and added
that We pitied him. The Florence
Times takes us up and intimates that
the pith of our remarks was a ding at
the fair damselS of that section, and
infers that we have been smitten and
sighted by one of them. He misappre-
bends us. We were born in North Al
ALBANIA, and about its red-topped hills
and among toe black jacks of its
swamps our memory loves 70 linger-
when it hasn't got anything else 60 do.
We think with tears in our eyes of the
lovely land where a covered wagon Gre
ated as great stir as lion let loose on
Broadway, where blackberries were as
plentiful as seedticlSs, and persimnaons
as sour as this editors temper. Long
may everybody live there that wants to.

worth We have never assaued), but If

it's our wife and children. They ne

A country man came to town last
Monday with a hat on. Nest people
wear hats, but we wish to be under
stood as meaning that this man had the
hat worse than any man we ever saw.
1t was evidently made where there was
more hat material than heads. 1t was
an old-fashioned, long-linted white
beaver. 1t was surmounted with the
prettiest striped tassel you ever saw,
and he looked like hungry calf under
hay-Iick. Anticipated, revolutionary,
old fashioned, or any term of that sort,
only half expresses what it was. 1t
was evidently made when Tennessee
river was branch and Tennessee itself
about the size of calf-lot.

IT'S said that Pixies Peak can be seen
upon the plains hundreds of miles, and
that the boundless eNpanse, dotted with
herds and hills, beggars description for
beauty. The ear Is ravished in Italy,
the senses awed in Germany, the fancy
crazed in France, the mind satiated in
Greece, and the eye delighted in Swift
erlaud. Combine all these scenes and
effects and let your inauguration trans
port you to their midst, and while thus
hallucinated climb to the scenic brow of
East Inn and take a view OF Pulaski,
and you will be forced to exclaim, in
the language of the poet, ''Wen, III be
burned"

that amount and proceeded to choke it

Mr.. EDITOR You editors have the
advantage and are always getting off
something You consider smart about
other folks. Please publish this, and
then don't come back atme. \ certain
local editor i'm Pulaski was seen last
Sunday to be chasing . loose horse with
2 side-saddle on up one of the public
streets bareheaded. He caught the
horse and mounted it and rode up and
down the streets for an hour, grinning
to himself and much elSted over his
good fortune in finding a loose Negroes
horse that had been tied up about the
Church. He finally got enough riding
and got down and hitched the horse
and then scared him and made him
break the bride. This is all, but it's
true. Please excuse me for telling it.

First Monday.

We have been requested by some of
our merchants to state to the public
that last Monday was a total failure as
a first Monday, and that it shan't count.
1t didn't amount even to a rainy Satur-
day, and it has been suggested that
next Monday be set apart for first Mon
day. Let everybody come to town next
Monday, bring everything they have to
swap, trade or sell, bring all their mon
ey and buy everything they want, and
let's have a real old-fashioned, ante
