LeMinConntr Lands

We learn that Gen. Whitthorne has
engaged Mr.. r. o. Smith to survey his
tract of land in Lewis county, lying on
the waters OF the West Fork of Big Big
by. The tract consists of about four
thousand acres, and contains some very
valuable iron ore banks, We UNDER
stand that Gen. Whitthorne intends es>
tablishing a furnace at one of these iron
banks. We are glad to chronicle all
such enterprises, for they are benefit
tothe country at large.
Mr.. II. B Titcomb has tract OF fif~
teen hundred acres adjoining Gen. Whit

expect to examine as soon as the weaths

Sell Your Produce at CoIu mbIa

Every article produced in Maury
county for sale, should be sold in Coz
lumbia. Wherever the farmer sells his
produce there he will spend his money.
Thousands of dollars are added to the
trade of Columbia annually by the sale
OF cotton in our midst, and in facilita-
ting this, our banks have been bless
ing to the town. AS Columbia becomes
more and more a centre for The sale of
agricultural products, will she thrive
and prosper, and new business houses
will be built. Whatever causes Column
bia to grow in size and wealth, benefits
every portion ofMaurv county, by max
ing the lands more valuable, and secur-
ing better and more lucrative market
for the products of the soil. Every
farmer should, therefore, feel personal
pride and interest in doing all he can to
built up his county town.

what Makes a County Rich.

A county grows in wealth in proper
ton to the amount of products it ex
ports. Maury county should not only
export largely of it's agricultural pro-
ducts, but should also have manufacture
| ing establishments. There is probably
no stream better adapted for propelling
machinery than Duck River. Its fall Is
great and its banks high. About three
miles east OF Columbia and about one
| mile and a half from the Great Southern
Railroad, and near the line of the Duck
River Valley Railroad, there is mag
niicent site for large cotton factory, in
the neck of a peninsular. Across this
penninsular it is only about two hun
dred yards, while the course of the river
around is many miles, which, together
with the dam, will give about seventeen
foet OF fall, sufficient to run the ma
chinery Of q factory of the largest kind.
Our people should not wait for foreign
capitalists to come here and start manu-
factories, but should form stock compa>
mics, and go into these enterprises them
selves. There is enough money In the
county, now invested in bonds, stocks,
etc, which is doing the county no good
to build a number of first-cIass manufac-
tories. Let some enterpriSing man, in
whose sagaGity and integrity all men
repose confidence, get up a stock manu-
featuring company, with $500 600 capital
The cotton factory at Nashville, which
is run by steam, made over forty-one
thousand dollars clear profit last year.
This enterprise was very unfortunate for
several years, from the fact that the di-
rectors expended too much In the con-
struction of the building and on ma
chinery. We firmly believe that fac
tory on Duck River which would AVOID
the very great expense of steam, would
pay handsome dividend to its stock
holders from the start.

OVER THE COUNTY.

Our young friend, VIM. 1. Sowell, of the
Gath civil district, was married on the 10Th of
of November to Miss Josie Darnal, Of Mar
shall county. They were married at her moth
er's, ten miles beyond Lewisburg, at 10 o'clock
in the morning, and he brought his bride to
his fathers, Col. W. j. SOWells, in Maury,
where they received q hearty welcome and q
sumptuous feast. Billy is a business young
man, and did not take q ''bridal tour" but
went to work next morning, killed hogs, max
ing an excellent hand. He has been hard at
work every day since, killing hogs and gather
ing corn. He will succeed.
Jacob Bennett, of the gath district, met with
q serious misfortune last Friday. he lives
near Sowelrs Upper Mill, and was hauling
wood home with two gray mares, when they
became frightened by one Of them falling into
a sink-hole. They broke off through the &C.
dar timber, and ran about three hundred yards
when one of the lines gave way. He tried to
get off, and that it was the last thing he re-
membered until he awoke, badly hurt. He
followed the track of the horses. and soon
came up with the hind wheels, and q little
further on the fore wheels were lodged against
two trees; and further on he found the horses,
held fast to two trees by the tongue chains.
he attempted to ride the big mare, but he was
so bloody that she would not let him-horses
being afraid of blood. He managed TO get
home, on foot, but it was q painful walk to
him. He has been in bed ever since. He
thinks one of his thigh bones is cracked, as
he cannot use it. A large cash was cut on his
head, TO the skull, and he is badly hurt all over.
He was in the Sd Tennessee regiment four
| years, and was wounded three times-once at
| Franklin. He says he never was in as tight q
| place as he was last Friday. He says he had
rather 60 into another Franklin fight than into
another such scrape as riding on a wagon
behind q runaway team through the cedars.
We have had little experience in the runa-
way business Ourself. and we know something
of Jake's feelings while he was being jostled
against trees. over stumps, legs, bushes, rocks,
ETC., and his legs and feet, which dangled be-
low, in constant danger of being broken by o
stump. Language is poor when it attempts to
describe man 8 situation in such a condition.
There was fight in WilliamspOrt Saturday
Nov. END, between Mr.. Jim Cox and young
Mr.. Anderson. Cox was considerably hurt in
forehead by q rock. Anderson fought in self
defence says rumor.

Many county All Right.

For week past about one hundred
bales of cotton have been brought to
town daily. Tuesday one hundred
and ssyenty-six bales were sold, and
Wednesday two hundred and seventy
eight bales, at 1S4 cents per pound.
Now it took many thousand dollars to
move this cotton, and but for our banks
it could not be done. They have strain
ed every nerve to help the farmers, and
in another week or two, ifthe good work
goes bravely on, times will become easy,
and every trace OF the panic be gone.
Farmers find that banks, etc, are not
their enemies after all. Our cotton
merchants are liberal and prompt, and
planters find it greatly to their advanN
tage to sell 10 them. ..
