To the Union and American:
HURFREEsBoRo, TENN, Aug. ,, 1873.
Again the 'boro' comes on the list for 8
word or two, en- passant, wHi,e we, as usual,
are happy to make any cheerful statements
in her behalf, to place before the thousands
of readers of Telnessee's standard paper,
the staunch old UNION AND AMERICAN,
snat ever fails.
THE RAINS,
within the past few days, have been most
gratefully received from the Solver of all
good Gifts" Aud it does one good to see
what an electric effect the "salvation show
eTs" have had upon our hosts of farmer
friends. Their visages began to take on
sunshine, and gloomy looks vanished
tellingly, as the showers came thick
and fast, somewhat in the manner
of multiplied blessings. From nearly every
portion of the county we have in
telligence of fine rains having fallen recently.
Many one in returning thanks we fear
had an eye slmost entirely to the extra
dimes and dollars, that eight barrels of corn
TO the acre will bring, instead of only two,
reckoned on a week ago. The difference,
body in first rate humOr. While prices
rise and fall, loss ard gain seems to be large
ly discussed In town; at the "resting pla-
ces" around, in the country; On farm house
porches else, at the fence with a neighbor.
THE CROPS.
The oat crop is said to be the finest by
far that has ever been raised in Rutherford
county. Cotton is reported to be iD a
beautiful condition, and of the rich waving
fields of corn "'twere vain to Jell." Iu
fact, our entire county appears TO be vege-
tating splendidly under the charms of such
delightful and refreshing weather as we
are eI joyiDg at present, and which watts
o'er memory a few choice lines from
Moore. This seeming
Zone of those Ambrosial ewes
a day of storm often leaves
At its IN setting--when the west
Opens her golden bowers Of rest,
And a moist radiance from the skies
Shoot trembling down.,
Bathing in beauty all things around.
While we, individually, can brighten up
such lovely summer days, with the delights
on our table, Of lucious fruits and
EXQUISITE FLOWERS
from the generous bosom of old Rutherford
fruits that would tempt an epcure, and
flowers, the essence of poetry; emblems of
burn" 'mong which ''roses and the myrtle
do entwine," clustered with "ambrosis,
once food for the GODS" reminding us by
their sweet perfume,
"That you may break, you may shatter the vase
But the scent Of the flowers will hang round it
still"
THE HEALTH
of the "boro" we conclude, is even better
than hoped for, though there have been
several deaths within the past tea days.
Some of the runsways put in an appearance
carefully now and then, however, not to
tsrry long. A gay an festive party home
ward bound few days ago. landed safe
a nd jolly at the depot, where the report of
the death of citizen was heard, causing
them shock similar to the effect of fully
charged galvanic battery. The last we
heard of that party, they were fastening
spriDgward on the next train. As factions
speak louder than words" we are inclined
to believe that this portion of our commu-
nifty, con the wing" as it were, have ceased
to sing that sad sweet song of 81 would not
live always" decidedly favoring prolonged
stay on this green earth.
REPRESENTATIVES, OF THE BAR
and nearly al our prominent official heads
are out on self imposed tickets of pleasure,
and the talent of which the "boro' may well
be prou,S" hss left quite number of "va-
cant chairs IN our mids', pr obably would
cause some grief, but for several rising stars,
yet with US, in the days OF danger, trials and
tribulations; numbering among these, our
editors, gallant, true and tried, and
always to be found at their post of honor.
