SANTA FE ITEMS.

Our village has been changing on every
side the last few weeks, buying, selling and
moving. DIR. Sebastian has sold his property
to DR.. Hume, of Hickman county, who will
move in soon. Last week we had general
trade among our business men. Esq. John T.
Sparkman and Rev. VIM. Nj. Robinson bought
out the stock of goods of two of our firms
and united them in one house. Messrs. Me-
Kay & Mckay sold their entire stock, and have
returned to Carter's Greek. Nessrs. E. G.
Church Co. sold their goods and store house,
and NeSsrs. Sparkman Il Robinson now hold
forth in the Church store house, Cowley d
Meroney have bought the Irvine store house,
and are fitting it up nicely, and will move into
it soon. They have their -four and corn mill
running now, doing very good work.
The public schools OF this district will open
the lst Monday in September. A good deal
of interest seems to be manifested in the
schools this year. Mr.. L. G. Church will teach
the school at this place.
Our crops are looking well generally. The
cotton is really fine. John NJ. SpaTkman re-
ports on one stalk one week ago, one hundred
and seven bolB and squares, and in Just seven
days after, the same stalk showed two hun
bred and one bolls and squares, au increase of
nearly double in one week. Fruit is almost
total failure. The orchards of some of our
farmers never was known to fail entirely be-
fore.
The protracted meeting at the Methodist
Church here embraces the 1St Sabbath IN
September. The Richland Presbytery meets
at the Cumberland Church on the 4th Sab
bath of September, Quite large crowd are
expected to attend.
Our young friend, Maston Church, has lust
returned from Texas. He liked the country
well but could have no health there, and re-
turned to old Maury.
We are much annoyed at the conduct of our
mail contractor, Mr.. McLary, in not sending
US our mails. He has changed our mails from
Saturday to Wednesday. Our papers that are
published in Columbia on Thursday and Fri
day, he holds from us until the next Wedues-
day, just as long as he can they are then
about ten days old when the subscribers get
them. Many of our people are going to dis
continue their papers. This is contraTiness on
the part OF the contractor as it costs h i'm no
more to send the mail to US on Saturday than
Wednesday. mail on Saturday would give
us our papers of the week a mail on We'd
nesday keeps them until they are out of date.
There is great Indignation expressed at this
treatment, and talk of petitioning for new
mail route from Duck River Station to Pine
wood, connecting with the n. n n. w. r. r. by
the Centrevile mail hack. Hope the plan may
succeed

LEWIS COUNTY ITEMS.

J. NJ, Gilmore and lady, spent few days
! with their friends on Big Swan last week. He
| is now residing In Hickman county. During
I the late ''Hnpleasantness," Jim made an eX'
| cellent Confederate soldier m company H.
| Sd Tenn. Regt. His gallant conduct as a sol
| der viii long be remembered by his suryiv-
! ing comrades.
Key. Paul CASTOR, of the NJ. E. Church,
| South, held a two DAYS meeting at Swan Chap
| Ell, embracing the second Saturday and Sunday
| of this month. He Joined the Tennessee An
! nnal Conference six wears ago, when a beard
less boy. In the pulpit his ideas are clear,
language ehaste, and arguments convincing.
Peanuts are selling for 5 100 per bushel on
Big Swan. Merchants of Columbia have lost
fully $4,000 in trade during the last three
months by refusing to offer the full value for
peanuts. The farmers mOvem ant, y which is
absorbing so much interest liz the great west
and southwest, is causing the tillers of the
soil to open their eyes, and to look to their
own interest. Hereafter very few peanuts
win be sold in Columbia unless the merchants
show more regard for the interest of the farm
ers of Hickman and Lewis. Mark the predic-
ton, and let the merchants Of Columbia heed
the warning.
Deputy Sheriff Richard stockard applied
and received q warrant from the county court
CLERK of Wayne to deprive Miss Josie, daugh-
ter of q. j. Walker, of her single blessedness.
The cause was heard before Rev. }. A. Gillian,
W LU AGCIUGu llldJ DlCh SuOulu 'lOVet DEOIeCi
and support MISS Josie for life, He received
the sentence without a murmUr, and looked
with pride upon his accomplished bride when
she blushingly gave her sweet assent, Dick
must resign his office in order to give one of
his young friends an opportunity of making a
similar arrest with the same consequences.
We recommend Nicely Flanagan. We know
that he will come to Big Swan with his war
rant.
The Hampshire widower, whose "chickens
came home to roOst," is now declaring "that
Lewis never did cash county claim" The au-
thorlties of Lewis have decided that they can
not with propriety submit to joked with such
an indisputable fact. The first time the gen
tieman comes to Lewis, the authorities intend
to give him one ounce Of laudanum, and
WheeloarrOW ride, as he is fond of the sport.
IL Will be done too, and it will.
Bad stock and worse fences has created
very demOralizing epidemic on BIC Swan. The
prevailing" was not half so contagious as
the disease of profanity which is now threat
enlng the destruction Of all swine and dogs
on Big Swan, The natives preserve their
gravity towards each other when they meet,
but when distance lends" security ito the
guns at Chlckamauga sinks into insignficance
when compared to the great bombardment
going on between the natives by the use of the
mouth. The natives need a religious, if not
political reconstruction. Courses issue from
the mouth Of the man who can't bride his
tongue. It can't be done on Big Swan. Let
other neighbOrhOOds take warning, and guard
against the spread Of this great evil.

We regret TO lean that an infant child OF
James Ormes of this place, was found dead in
the pea Win us parents on MONDAY morning.
! Mr.. Ormes and his wife had been 70 church

No alarm was made by the infant during the

On last Sabbath the Sacrament Of the

Hill, \. G., and knows the importance,
benefits and advantages of an educated

Our village is infested by night
providers, disturbing the orderly and
quiet people, by bowling like wolves,
screaming like demons, shooting off
pistols, stoning private houses, drunk
enness and disorderly conduct general
ly, under the nose and in the hearing
of peace officers.
The tinkling, and we might say, mu-
steal, sound OF the hammer, of the re-
nOwned Jamnlie Cunning, a scientific
worker in tin, can be heard now in
our village, which is a valuable and
beneficial accession. Jammie is one OF
those generous, honest, liberal and in
dustrious mechanics from the "Ould
Country" always ready to accommo-
date and undertake jobs in his line of
business, from the guttering of house
TO encasing "any other man" IN a tin
case.
An oppressive drouth is upon us,
and we predict failure of the turnip
crop. Cotton is dotting the fields with
its white Unity bolls.s

Mr.. Polk Reddpg, of this vicinity came
very near meeting with an accident few Sab

huge tree suddenly fell in the road before him,
filling the road with fragments. Had he been
ten PAGES farther he would have been immediate
lY under it, and had he not stopped Just before
and passed about three words with an ac-
quaintance, he would haYe been, no doubt,
killed. We hardly think it was any of Folks

hear he was on his way to see her, and who

German MilIet is the rage now. Most every

was never known to be better than it is this

now loaded with bolls.

number Of campers has been sorcly afflicted
this summer, and it is feared that some Of

other ueighborhoOds should exert themselves
and send out more campers, aud those that
have hitherto sent none send some. Mt.
Pleasant and Mt. Ne0o should be represented,
One or more tents can be procured, either
bought or borrowed. Columbia should have
