of the river above the locks is said to have un'

not have much to do with the extraordinary eI

substitute will provide that all past or
prospective appropriations for public

the secretary of the treasury to exercise
his discretion as to the time of COM

The associated press reporter at JEFF
fersonville, Indiana, in announcing
that the city council OF that city had
passed an ordinance taxing drinking
saloons five hundred dollars, says: ''This
being excessive, it meets with the dis
appreciation of the citizens, who will
elect, at the coming city election, an
entire new council. The proscriptive
manner in which the temperance ele-
ment is being brought to bear is driving
several of our best German citizens to
Louisville. Thus, instead of Guiding up
and sustaining live mercantile and
commercial citytit is fast producing
stagnant appearance in all business de-
partments.n

BOLIVAR.
The Wet Weather and the Planting In
teyest-The Memphis aud Knox
vile Railroad will Succeed
-GeBeral Neeley.

From an Occasional Correspondent
BOLIVAR, TENN, April ., 1874 The
extreme wet weather has made the
farmers very backward in planting
their crops. Very little has thus far
been done, but if there should be dry
weather in April and May they will
make up for great deal OF lost time.
1t is an old saying, and believe true
one. d" dry May for great crop year.
If the farmers would prepare more OF
their ground in the fall, in October and
Novenber for the next years crop, 1t
would he much better for them. Land
we'll and deeply plOwed during those
months is easily prepared for crop for
the next wear. Deeply plowed land, that
has been subsOiled, remains dry
i'm wet weather and retains moisture in
drv weather. The difficulty is that our
farmers generally have so much land
planted in cotton that they have no time
.for fall blowing. Fewer acres planted In
cotton. and well cultivated, would yield
as much cotton, and leave time for fall
pIowiug. Farmers are preparing to plant
moro corn. .Hnd to SOW more grass and
clover than usual They have strong
homes of getting the Southwestern Pres
byterian university at this place, and to
secure the location they are subscribing
literally of land aud money. jackson
Is also making a powerful effort to get
this institution of learning located there;
This place has, understand, increased
s-.nidly in wealth since work was COM
menced on the Memphis and Knoxville
road. tWenty-four miles of which road
will soon be ready for laying iron. 1t Is
said Bolivar now has one hundred thou
sand dollars more Of taXables than she
had when General Neely, with
his 5ndomitsble will, undertook
the buiI,ying of that road. Like all en-
terprising men, he has met with oppo-
sition from croakeTs, who are always
ready to cry down every public enter
prise, but sustained. as he is, by such
men as NJ. aud .. Jones, and by MAJOR
+. P. McNeal, WHO have subscribed hve
thousand dollars To the enterprise, ana
by others Of the sam sort, there Is every
prospect that he will succeed IN building
q road which will confer more suostah,
tial wealth upon West tennessee, ana
especially upon the city OF Memphis,
than any road now in existence. Inc
men of wealth, who are SUSTAIN q g6ener-
aiNeely will become great public bepefac-
tOrs, and will leave something Dehlnu
them which will entitle them to be re"
memhered with gratitude by those who
are to come after them. They feel con-
siderable interest here in the railroad
convention which is to be held IN your
city sometime during April, at when
Governor Brown and other disting ulsh-
ed citizens of Middle Tennessee will be
present. Let Shelby, Fayette and Har-
deman be well represented. Important
facts will be presented at that meeting.

GERMANTOWN.
The Shooting Of tOOney by Johnson
Another Statement by COOney.

EDITORS APPEAL--An article, writ
ten by some person to me unknown, was
published in the APPEAL about the
fourteenth of this month, which gives
some of the facts in regard to q difficult
ty which occurred between Mr.. John
son, of Olive Branch, Mississippi, and
myself. Your Germantown correspond
ent gave the facts in regard to the diff
Guilty as they were stslted to him, sup
pose, and as Mr.. johnson has given
you his version of the mat er, and has
used my name pretty freely, l hope you
will give place to the following state
ment (which can prove to be cOrrect)
viz: When l first met Johnson l did not
recognise him until we passed each
other. He turned around and asked me
If my name was not Cooney. / told
him that it was. I then recognised him,
and we entered into . friendly eonver-
sation about different things, and Mr..
Johnson made some boasting remark
about a girl that he had seduced, who is
q distant connection of mine, and al
though / did not feel called upon to re-
dress her wrongs, yet it nettled me, and
told him that if her father or brother
had have had any manhood about them,
they would have made him dance
to the music He said, "D-n her
daddy; he and everybody kin to him
are a set of prostitutes. told him
that he lied, and struck him in the face.
He then pulled out small-sized pistol,
of the Smith & WessOn pattern, and
aimed it at me.I caught it with my
left hand just as it fired, it making a
slight cut across the left fOre-finger.
(If did the shooting, I will ask Mr.
johnson why is it he has told so many
inconsistent tales in regard to it. He
told one person, who can be produced,
that he backed me down; another, that
be did not know that L was shot at all /;
another, that he tied up my hand; an
other, that / shot at u stump and shot
myself; and still another, that 1 shot at
q dog. And then agsin, will ask Mr..
Johnson, If he did not do the shoot
ing, why it is he has not come to see me
about it, l then pulled out a small
one-barrelled pistol, which was half
cooked, and it fired behind me. l then
caught him by the collar. Mr.. John
son seemed to regret ii as soon as it was
done, and began to make apologies, say
ing that he spoke unthOughtedly and
was sorry that l was hurt. We then
parted on good terms, and / thought the
matter settled, but as he has started it
again by denying it, say, Lay on,
Macdutf, and damned be he who first
cries hold, enough" j. w. COoNEY.
