Brown publishes list of prices that
will compare with any market in this
country. The people will do well to
consult his announcement, for he makes
1t point to DO exactly what he says.

Messrs. I. j. Wells and j. Cal. Young
have formed cO-partnership in the
grocery business and the new firm con-
template adding to their stock until
they are able to supply every demand

Messrs. Rosenau & Loveman are sell
ing their immense stock of goods at cost
for cash. The people need but be noti-

at cost. They offer extraordinary in

such large, fresh and varied stock is
offered Mt such prices.

the Singer. The people are the proper

Whites office is on the same floor with
the CITIZEN office, and he is prepared TO
deliver machines at any point.

E%- A Pulaski lawyer rusticated in
Lawrence during the cholera scare, and
while there spent his time in angling.
One day a friend came across him qui-
city sitting upon the bank of one OF the
beautiful streams that meander through
the county, his pole firmly wedged un-
der rock and his eye fixed on the cork.
The usual questions ELECTED the facts
that he had been fishing there three
hours, hadn't got a bite, and that
he baited with frog. The friend sat
down TO talk and help watch, and dur
ing the time noticed a chunk sticking
out of the water and frog quietly sun
ming himself on 1t. "Did you say you
were fishing with a frog2" eyes; and
it's powerful poor bait, or there's
mighty few fish here ssWen, yonderss
your frog on that Chunk The lawyer
raised his pole, and sure enough the
frog fell from the chunk and came to
the bank with the hook.

The Use of Cistern Water.

The Gallatin Examiner has this to
say about the use of cistern water:
awe have often called the attention
of our citizens to what we regard as a
well settled fact that those who habit
uaily use cisteTn water are nearly, if
not entirely, exempt from attacks of
cholera. All the experience and infor-
nation we have leads US to this concur
sion. During the prevalence of the ep-
idemic in Nashville in 1S49-50 it was
often remarked. During the present
visitation, although it is raging in
Nashville, Edgefield is exempt from its
ravages, and we understand that not
single case has originated there, al
though a few have died there who con-
tracted it in Nashville. We learn, also,
that there is like experience in Mem
phis. In one ward of the city, where
cisterns are plentiful, not a single case
has occurred. At GAINESVILLE, where
nearly every family is supplied with q
cistern, the citizens feel a sense of secU-
rity impaired by their possession. In
1886 the cholera swept the town-there
were no cisterns. In lS49-50 it was OBJ
served that there was not q case in
family that used the rain water. At
once the citizens went to work and so
many were built that place is not re-
upon it. 1t was proved in 1865, when
the cholera swept Nashville, carrying
off $40 persons. The records at Clarks-
Vile show that there was mortality of
20, of whom 50 were negroes living in
the outskirts. and one white man, an in
ebriate, all of whom drank spring and
we'll water. And we are informed that
the citizens of GAINESVILLE, amid the uni
versal panic that overspreads the coun-
try, are cool and confident, and as eX-
empt from fear as though the cholera
was no nearer than the jungles of Indias
This feeling of confidence itself is price
less in time of panic. We may men
ton, in addition TO the many other facts
supporting our theory, that the cholera
has never prevailed in a fTeestone
country. Surely these are sufficiently
we'll established points to enlist general
| attention"

The Mammoth Pear Tree.

Mr.. EDITOR-EOr the sake of your
readers who love good fruit, | will give
you a brief history of a certain pear
tree, its origin, magnitude and its fruit.
This tree was purchased from the nur-
sery of Price & Co., Florence, Ala, in
1865, and transplanted in the orchard
of L. NJ. Kersey. This is of the Sekle
kind. Its growth was slow for about
ten years, and then began to bloom. 1t
blOomed five years before it commenced
bearing. The 18th year Mr.. Kirsey ate
one mess, after living in despair five
years. When it did begin to bear they
came in a shower. 1t stands now the
eighth wonder of the world, as l under
stand the 9TH wonder has been discov-
cred. This tree is about Is feet high.
The limbs measure II feet all round,
that is % feet in diameter and 66 feet in
circumference, and seems to have the
last one it can bear. The fruit is of a
purple hue. l will say to your readers
if they want to enjoy the year they had
better set out soon. This is enough
about one tree. julius PEABoY.

Ma. AIlman.s nIisfortune.


1t is with great sorrow we chronicle
the recent misfortune of our esteemed
friend, Maj. Altman, of Cornersville.-
No man in Tennessee has labored more
zealously TO introduce and propagate
the thoroughbred; no man has been so
uhtiring in his endeavors to foster and
encourage a spirit of emulation among
stock breeders, and to cultivate REIN
ed and elevated taste in farming gener--
ally. Yet it seems that some devil in
carnate, some fiend unknown, has en-
deavored to thwart his good purposes,
to beggar him and his children and to
stop the breed of his fine stock. On
Saturday evening, 2Ist ult., Major All
man fed his stock in person and found
them all right; on Sunday he went to
church, according to his well-knoWn
habit, but returned in the afternoon to
find that an enemy had visited his prem
ises- 1mporte Canwell, by the great
Stoekwell, was found to be almost blind
his eyes closed and running; Watson,
By Lexington, had also been tempered
with in a similar manner; seven head OF
hne cattle. his Shetland stud, and many
OF his fine sows were found dead. 1t is
feared that Canwell and Watson viii
lose their eyes. Thus the fiend, for
what reason Maj. Altman is entirely
ignorant, resorted 10 mean and cow
ardly attack upon poor dumb brutes to
injure their owner. Words are toe poor
to paint the deep and damning black
ness Of the heart that would perpetrate
such crime.

United after Twenty Years-A
Story of Slave Times.

VIM. Jenkins, a colorod man, who
twenty years ago was sold from Fayette
TO labor on cotton farm in Mississippi,
came back the other day in search of
his wife and child, from whom he had
not heard during his absence. After
the war he purchased a small farm and
improved it, and began TO look about
fol some one TO take care of il tor him,
when his thoughts went back 70 Old
Kentucky and the wife and child he had
left there. Accordingly he wrote sever
al letters to his wife, directing them to
the neighborhOod he had left. Receiv-
ing no response to his letters, he came
himself, Instituted inquiries, and found
she had moved to Paris. He came here,
and was directed to her house. She
was out at she time, but his daughter,
who was an infant of two months when
he went away, now a woman Of twenty
years, instinctively recognized him and
asked, "Ain't YOU my fathery" but he
failed to recognize his daughter. The
mother was sent for, and when she
came the meeting is said by those who
witnessed Il 10 have been most affect
ing. After remaining In Paris several
DAYS, jenkins returned to complete
some improvements on his estate, when
his wife and daughter viii join him in
his Southern home. Husband and wife
had not remarked during their long sep
aration.

Parker,s Store.

Mr.. EDIToR-As nothing has made its
appearance in your columns from this
place for some time past, presume that
a few notes would probably be of some
interest to some of your readers and
give them an idea as to what we are do
ing. The rainy weather has somewhat
retarded the progress of our farmers,
and the consequence is, they are behind
in laying-by their crops this year.
Prospects for good corn and cotton
crop are very promising. Wheat is not
so good. 1t will not average over five
bushels to the acre. Oats look fine.
Mr.. Jas NJ. Parker will commence the
erection of his new dwelling house in a
few days, which will improve the looks
of our village eonsiderably. Mr.. Yam
cy's examination came off the goth ult.
1t was a grand thing. One of our
young experts" has invented n cotton
chopper. May it prove a success, and
may he realize handsome profit there
from. A little excitement prevails
among some of our neighbOrs i'm regard
to the mysterious appearance of a young
man by the name of Rackley, who on
the 18th inst. went to che pasture to
catch a horse, but has not been heard
from since. He was living with Mr..
Jas. NJ. Chapman as a bound boy. Our
illegal friend" has returned from his
western trip with his cheeks glowing
with health and success perched upon
his banner. KULLY.
