The Garden spot Of West tennessee,


UNION CITY, ORION Co., TENN, May 5,
1873.-Tbinking that letter from this sec
ton would be no Infringement upon the
rights of the people and seeing that others
more competent are backward about such
things, l assume the responsibility for
once myself, and If you think It worthy OF
a place in your most excellent paper, | viii
consider myself amply remunerated for the
"trouble" of writing. l do not purpose
writing a very lengthy article, but only
wish to say few words to those who are
tired of working their worn out, rocky
lands, vino are barely making support with
out any reasonable prospect of their lands
ever being Sny better.
There are thousands OF acres of unculti-
waited lands in w, 81 Tennessee that are in
vitiDg 10 these who wish TO mako farming
their chief object. Obiou county is the
garden spot Of West Tennessee. The lands
are rich and veil adapted to the raising of
corn, tobacco, cotton, and the sm2llar
grains, and also the grasses sHd various
kinds of bBlboUs roots and vegetables, most
of the land lying so nearly level that with
anything like care they will last for ages TO
come.
Union City is hourishing little
town of shout 5000 inhabitants. Its peO-
pie are industrious, civil aud courteous.
We have six schools in operation in the
city, one having about 125 pupils.
The Union City Male and Female
Collegiate Institute is already located,
and Board Of Trustees aud Building
committee appointed and the work will
soon be put under contract. 1t will be
erected a. a cost of $4,000 or upwards.
1t viii undoubtedly prove great blessing
to the country, as the young OF both sexes
will have the advantages of acquiring fin
ished education without having 10 go off
froK home to get it. The lumber trade OF
Union City is extensively carried on. The
surrounding country abOunds in oak, pop
lar, gum, ash and hickory, and vast quanti-,
ties of lumber are being saved daily and
shipped by rail to st. Louis and other
points. viii only add in conclusion that
we had heavy frost on the morning of the
10Th ult., which fear will have its dam
aging effectsupon the fruits and wheat.

LAWRENCE COUNTY.
The Railroad 1uestion-The People
AwakiDg TO the Importance OF the

SuO1cCts
To the Union and American:
LAwRENCEBURG, Tenn, May 5, 1873.
Permit me to say that Lawrence is now
upon rising grounds. She is fast awsking
from that lethargy in which she has long
been slumbering. You are aware that the
nature of any compound substance de-
ponds entirely upon the elements Of which
il IS composed. 1t is automatic, therefore,
that the wealth, enterprise and prosperity
of community are Immediately depen-
dent upon its individual members. Tho1gh
Lawrence county possesses go Alexander
Stewards, it would Re doing her injustice to
say she does not possess some very enter
prising men; and were we as faYorably sit
uated Commercially az some of the ad-
Joining counties, Lawrence would doubt
less ere longrank 10 wealth as well as pop
ulation With most of tbs counties in the
Safe. The slow progress hitherto expe-
rienced by this county has been owing In q
great extent to the deficiency
of commercial advantages. Railroads
are great desideratum in this county.
Great disadvantages are experienced in her
internal commerce, which can not be rem
edied except by some improved method Of
conveyance. l am glad to say that our peo-
pie are wide-aWake upon the railroad cues
ton. Not long since, Gov. Brown and
Mai. Sykes spoke to the people of this
county upon the subject Of railroads, urg
ing them to tale action thereon immediate
"; and their exhortations did not by any
means 90 unheeaed. Maj. Sykes is rail
road man; and when he had finished bis
able and well digested speech, every enc
who had listened to his arguments was full
IL convinced of the great benefits that
would result to the people by the construc-
ton of the contemplated railroad.
One advantage we have, which we have
not had heretofore, that is good newspa-
per, whose editor is ever ready to advocate
any subject which would be beneficial TO
the county.
Before closing must say something Of
our schools, which, though numerically
small, are doing well. Prof. j. V. johnson
is fine scholar, and so far has given gen
eral satisfaction. Mrs. E. 81. Lochert is sn
excellent and amisble lady, and she well
deserves the patronage of the people.

THE NASHVILLE EXPOSITION.
First Week.
A General Review from the Opening
DaY.

Uays
The third Annual Exposition of the
Nashville Industrial Association opened last
Thursday night under the most favorable
auspices, there being about 5000 persons
present. Great alterations and improve
ments have been made by tho Board OF
Managers, aud these received no lack of
praise from all present.
On Friday the cold weather affected, to
some extent, the size of the crowd present.
The manseers have made arrangements
with the Post Band, under the leadership Of
Capt. Gibson, to be present during the en-
tire month, and the music they discourse
add greatly to the pleasure of the visit.
The dining-room has been rented by the
ladies of the First Baptist Church, for the
sum of 1857, and it is to be hoped they
may be literally patronized by the public.
as their object in taking the dining-room is
to pay of a Church debt.
Saturday large number ofexhibitors ar
rived with articles intended for exhibition,
and many attractive feature were added to
the display. The crowd at night was much
larger than during the day, notwithstand-
ing the fact that there were strong indica-
tons of rain.
On Monday, the weather was much
more promising, and the attendance showed
corresponding increase, the scene at night
being very brilliant indeed. 1t having been
found that there was not sufficient pump
power to make the cascade as attractive as
was intended, three large pumps were
placed in position during the day, with the
most satisfactory results, and many were
the EXPLANATIONS of admiration and delight,
on the part of the visitors that evening, up
on seeing the torrent of sparkling water
dashing and splashing over the Lodges, and
winding away among the rocks.
Tuesday was very disagreeable day in
deed, rainy ard lowering, but notwithstand-
ing this fact large number of articles were
placed on exhibition by persons from New
York, Boston, Cincinnati, Louisville, Bow
ling Green and other cities, and the interior
of the buildings presented very lively ap-
pearance indeed.
Although the weather has been very dis
agreeable during greater portion of the
time since the opening Of the Exposition,
the board of managers are highly gratifed
at the success which has attended the en-
terprise thus far, and the indications now
are that their receipts viii be largely in ex-
cess of th9se of any previous year, and that
the Exposition will be much better attended
than ever before.

A horse weighing from ten 10 twelve
hundred pounds will eat about six tons
of hay, or its equivalent, in a year. And
we suppose the real point to get at is
whether one can keep his horse cheaper
on some other product than hay. This is
an exceedingly difficult question to an
swer-it depends SO much on circum-
stances. We shall not attempt to answer
it fully at this time, but will merely say
that, in our opinion, three and half tons
of corn stalks and two and half tons of
corn would keep horse year in fully
as good condition as six tons of good hay.
We may estimate, also, that it will take
three and half tons of oats to keep
horse year. A bushel of oats weighs
thirty-two pounds, so that it will take
over 1855 bushels and three and half
tons of straw to keep horse year. It
would take about two acres of good land
to produce this amount.-Ame11c0ae Stock

Cola pse of the Nerves.

There is nothing more dsheartening than nerv-
GUS debility. In extreme cases of this class the
sufferers do not care whether they live or die. A
feeling of hopelessness comes over them, and in
some instances where the threatening symptoms
are not met by prompt and proper treatment, luna
cy or idiocy ensues. Yet nervous debility is not
dangerous complaint if wisely dealt with A med
icated stimulant is the remedy needed, and in
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters this specific for the
complaint is presented in its purest and most
potent form. Nervous disease is usually compli-
Gated with other ailments. 1t frequently involves
biliousness, constipation Irregularities of the bow
els indigestion, and great mental depression. In
the spring of the year. owing to the effect of
chilling fogs, searching winds and other unhealthy
atmospheric phenomena, upon the external nerves,
persons who are subject to nervous affections
often suffer acute distress, both of body and mind
from this cause. 1t is, therefore, advisable for all
who are liable to these troubles, and to the other
bodily ills above mentioned, which so frequently
accompany them, to commence the regular use of
Hostetter's Btters early in the The severe
nervous and bilious attacks, with which they
might otherwise be visited, can by this means be
certainly avoided. As nervine, gentle aperiem
and antibilious medicine, the Btters have no
equal.
