able reports there were four other cases
among the section hands near White Bluffs,

he mole than half crop. Oats look bad,
corn is considerably In the weeds on ac-
count of constant ra rs.

Our mail last evening also contained the
following letter (:
To the Union and Americas:
REYNOLDS STATION, June 20, 1879
Mr. Cal. McIendoD, brakeman on the
freight train on n e. d, Railroad was put
off at his brother-in-law's, Mr.. Cover, on
Wednesday night with cholera. He was
taken in Nashville and brought down that
night on the freight train. The case is re-
ported to be cholera, but was better yester-
day. There seems TO be great excitement
in this neighboIhood about it. Numberless
and | think groundless rumors are spread
ing rapidly, and getting worse every day.
II one believed all they hear, they would
think Cholera would rage near Reynolds
Station in short time as it Is IN Nashville.
Some think that not one half the deaths are
reported in Nashville; that hundreds di9
that the undert kers nor Board of Health
never hear of, and are not buried in the
ox5or ri hot A. u 1r,6rad nd
forty or fifty die day, and is worse than
it was in $685., Cannot something be done
to prove the ssReport of Deaths, in your
Daily Is official and correc,? HowHdo you
get that Report Don't you think that some
of the mechanics are called on to make
coffiHs, that the under;akers never hear
of. The negroes and some whites eat
what they please, .greenapples, vegetables,
and say they have bat one time to die
others are very prudent and eat no vegs-
tables at all--bu. on the other hand diet
themselves very strictly
I'VE again insist that our daily reports are
as correct as they can be made. It. is pos
sible that few collins wtre furnished to-
day by those net undertakers, but this is not
likely to be the case. The county of Dsv-
ioson has contract with one Of our I'M
dertakers to furnish pauper collins at
stipulated price, and this contract has exist
ed for many years, and Justice Of the
Peace In any district of the county has the
right to give an order to the county under
taker when applicant is made. Hundreds
of these orders have been issued since the
cholera made its appearance here Hence
we imagine when cofiDs can be Irocured
so easily for psupeTs, there is no necessity
for pressing others Into service and pay for
what can be had for nothing.-ED
AT LEBANON.
The Lebanon Herald issued an extra on
Thursday evening, from which we extract
as follows:
Lebanon presents now the appearance
of q genuine deserted village. The only
open Goors visible on the Square yesterday
were those of the drug stores and saloons,
one or two business houses and the Herald
Office. Occasional groups Of two or three
men could be seen at intervals, congregated
in some shady place, languidly discussing
the situation, while eyer and anon jersey
wagon, loaded to the guards with miscel-
laneous assortment of 'plunder," hastily
gathered together, ratified through, en- route
to ''the mountains Of Hepsidam." Only
two ladies appeared on the Square duriog
the day.
