To the west: To the west !

VI :
Before making your arrangements TO
follow the advice of the thousands who
have already gone," it would be well to
consider what has been done to make
the journey to your CLONE in tile
West as pleasant and as free from dam
ger as human skill and foresightscan
accomplish.
BY consolidation and construction n
road has been put into operation on the
shortest possible line from Nashville to
st, Louis, ''the future great CITY of the
world. This line, the
ST. LOUIS AND SOUTHEASTERN RAILWAY,
has, during the past year, earned an en-
viable reputation by its smooth track,
prompt time, sure connections, and the
maguificence of its passenger equip
ment. Its trains are made up of new
and cOmmOdious day cars, provided
with the celebrated Miller coupler and
platform, and the Westinghouse air
brake.
1t is posifUeIy the only line rugHipg
PaIlmdR Palace Dr0aeiRg-P0 Sleeping
Cars through lCi,hOut change fr9ul Ndsls-
Uille 10 st. Louis. No other line pre-
tends to offer such advantages, either in
distance, time or equipment Why,
then, journey by circuitOus routes? Do
not be induced to purchase tickets to st.
Louis or the West by any other line, re-
membering that the
st. LOUIS AND SOUTHEASTERN
Is the shortest, cheapest, quickest, best and
only line under one management from
Nashville to st. Louis, and is from 80 to
200 miles the shortest to St. Louis, Kan
sas City, Omaha, Denver, California,
Texas, and all western points. 1t is al
so the .'Chicago Shortest Line" Cia

Killed bv the Train.

Mr.. Bud Hill, a man who lived upon
the place of Mrs. Tyree Rodes, four
miles south of Pulaski, was killed by
the north-bound train last Saturday
night at Hicks bluff, about a mile
south of town. He came to town that
day and started home after dark intox-
icated, when he met the train at the
place above stated, and notwithstand-
ing he saw the train approaching and
the engineer whistled an alarm, he
failed to get off the track until the en-
CINE was within a few feet of him, and
then he escaped the cOw-catcher only
to be struck in the breast by the corner
of the beam that supports the cow
catcher and knocked some distance
from the track. He died in about TWEEN
ty minutes We understand that lie

G A correspondent of the Gilmore
In.) Star from Pulaski, who is for
mer resident Of that city, says:
81 have several times thought that !
would have to get myself iron bound to
stand the hospitality of the people of
the South. These rebels that tried to
kill us during the war, with bullets,
now try to kill ms with acknowledged
chickens and all the good things of the
land"
1t is refreshing to find a man once in a
while who will tell the truth, regardless
of whether he gets up a sensation or not.
This communication is written in prop
er spirit and comes nearer showing up
the real feeling that exists at the South
toward Northern or any other class of
men than any we have read.

Mulberry village, in Lincoln county.
has been visiting our town during the
past week, and during his stay has
preached a series of interesting and
able sermons at Antoinette Hall. 1t
was the original intention to protract
the services during the entire week, but
on account of the excessive heat it was
thought best on Tuesday evening to
discontinue the services until Sunday
next, when they will be resumed. A
Pulaski Baptist Church was organized
on Sabbath last, with Rev. Mr.. Van
Hoose as pastor, and services win be
held regularly as heretofore every sec
ond and third Sunday.

ES- A private letter from Maj. All
man informs us that we were mistaken
in our article last week as to dates
The attempt was mace upon Watson
some two years ago and part of the cat
tie were poisoned and died soon there
after. The others happened as stated
last week. This gives a deeper tinge OF
atrocity to the deeds of the unknown
villain and shows that his acts were not
prompted by the sometimes incontrol-
liable bursts of passion, but that a deep
seated and damnable malice had settled
upon his heart like slime upon cess
pool, and the whole thing was maturely
and deliberately planned and executed.
Maj Altman thinks that Canwell's eyes
are irretrievably gone. Watson has en-
tirely recovered from his mishap.

Huntsville Railroad COnVen-
ton,

ton.
The Railroad Convention at Hunts
vile, Ala, on the 9TH inst. adopted the
following resolutions:
Resoiced, That we welcome with pro-
found satisfaction the adoption of the
system OF railways properly known as
"narrow-guage" as peculiarly adapted
to the needs of the South, on account of
small cost, light interest account and
operation expenses, and adaptation to
our wants for cheap transportation and
especially to our means for cOnstTuc-
ton.
ResoIred, ID, That the system required
for our immediate wants and develop
ment is a railway from Huntsville to
the Tennessee State line, at such point
as Will best accommodate the interests
OF Madison county, and at the same time
afford connections to the several pro-
posed lines in Tennessee DESTROYS of a
connection with the Warrior and Ten
nessee Rivers Railway, via Huntsville,
south to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
ReSolced, Sd, That the Warrior and
Tennessee Rivers Railway Company,
by its route from Huntsville to the Ter
nesSee State line north, and its line
south TO the Tennessee river, thence di-
verging to Tuscaloosa or Opelika, will
effect the desired Southern connection.
and has our hearty approval, and we
pledge our earnest cooperation TO this
movement.
Col. E. Hurlburt, of Georgia, PreSi-
dent of the Warrior and Tennessee Riv-
ers Railway Company, being present,
was called upon to address the meeting
In short and able address he urged
upon the people of Madison county the
importance of prompt and energetic ac-
ton, to secure the building of one or
more roads through this county to con-
meet us with the northwest and south
east BY a continuous line of road from
st. Louis to some point on the Southern
Atlantic coast.
Letters were read from many distin-
guished gentlemen, including Governor
Brown, Col. /. ID. Myers and others.
The meeting then adjourned to the ID
of August, in order that gentlemen in
terested in contingent roads in Tennes-
see and elsewhere may have an oppor-
tuniUy to attend.

1t is amusing to hear some of the pc
titions to the County Court for the lOca-
ton of new roads. Their locations are
described so accurately that it would
take four hundred search warrants, sew
enty-five surveyors and fourteen packs
of bloOd-hounds to find them. One
commences at poplar root at the
mouth of Bill Jones' lane and runs,
winding across Tim DOdson's meadow,
through the crack of fence to a gulley
and fetcheS up at the edge of the
"barnes," etc. Somebody knows, how
ever, and the Court generally finds out
how TO act.

On Monday, 9TH inst, Mr.. John Gray
died near COrnersville in his SD year.
He was a very industrious, energetic
man. Jas. S. Haynes, Esq'r, the oldest
citizen in this section, is not expected to
live many days. The above two men,
together with Benz. Morgan, Jas. Hen

est men in this section, have more ener-
gy and get-about in them than any sim
liar number of young men. Who is to
fill their places? Farmers unusually
busy. Wheat, rye, oats, hay and clay

Wheat is good; the stand is too thin
froze out-the result of our slip-shod
way of seeding. Oats very good--hay
better than for several years-more hun
garian grass and millet sOwn than ever
befOre-prospect for an average yield
of cotton gloomy. The growing of cot
ton in Middle Tennessee is a culse and
the sooner it is abandoned the better it
will be for our children.
