LEATHERWOOD ITEMS.

LEATHERwooD, HICKMAN COUNTY Tenn,
To the Editors Of the Herald!
Through your columns permit me to. make
a few suggestions in regard to the propriety
and the great need of q mail route" through
this and other neighborhoods in this county.
Living, as we do so far inland, destitute of
he advantages of river, railroad and tele-
graph, we are cut off, as it were from all COM
munication with the outer world. If we
write letter we must ride distance of FIVE
m les to mail it. If we get newspaper we
m asst go to Williamsport, distance of five or
six miles, to obtain it. And oftentimes letters
and other matter of importance demanding
immediate attention, belonging to citizens in
our neighborhood, lie in the office for weeks
for the want of mail facilities. Newspap per
men would see their list of subscribers in
crease to some extent had we direct means of
conveyance. There has been a route proposed
which would give direct communication and
general satisfaction TO the people of these
Iarts of Hickman and of many counties, lying
on the North side of Duck River, which IS as
follows: From Columbia to Wisener's store,
ON Knob Creek, q distance of miles; thence
to Cooks store on Lelper' Greek, distance
of miles: thence to Leatherwood, on Leather
wood Creek, distance of miles; thence to
Little Lot a distance of miles; thence to
Lick Creek or Little Rock Mills, distance of
miles thence to Bon Aqua Springs d s.
lance of 10 miles; thence to Burns tation,
on the n. q n. w. II. ~, distance OF o
miles, The above route would include seven
offices and the aggregate distance about As
miles, and the annual expense of carrying the
mail would be about $500. In securing this
route, it would have the advantage of railroad
at either end, the branch route running from
Centrev:lle via Little Lot TO Lick Greek, and
which costs the Government $3.50 TO 5000 an
nuellv, could be dispensed with
We hone to have the cordial and undivided
support of all who feel interested in the effort
10 establish mail route through onr country.

Mr.. Frierson has not attempted 10 make q

bills which have no chance of being passed,
and many of which should not pass, ana
others which IL Is immaterial whether they
are passed or not; but he has devoted his

A trio of the editorial corps of the "Olio,''
anew literary production here, made us a visit
the other day. Their coming was the
more welcome, because such visitors are SO
rare. Their presence made US glad twelve
hours afterwards.
"Three Iovelier nymphs the pencil never
drew;
For the fond graces formed their easy mien,
And heavens soft azure in their eyes was
seen"
Their overpowering presence made us feel,

Handsome New Depot.

Mr. Hine informs US that the old Depot
building, which has 50 long been disgrace to
the town and the railroad will soon be torn
down, and a new brick building erected in
stead The passenger Depot will be at the
crossing of High street. We have long been
in nee of a good Depot and We have felt that
the railroad con pany did not do as justice in
this respect, but we are willing to forget 1t all
now that we are to have nice new one. Let
it be worthy of Columbia, Maury county and
the Great SO theTn Railroad.

will find sale for his bricks in less than an
hour, that his energy anu capacity will be as
highly appreciated by every one as it is by us.
