The canvass in Hickman among the
county candidates is waxing warm;
| their appointments TelarGely attended,
| and they would have a glorious time
were it not for the warm weather and
severe drouth, which makes it little
| inconvenient sometimes for getting fOrS
age and commissary stores. A special
reporter of the Banner was present last
Saturday at their appointment at Bon
Aqua, where they had to face the elite
and ton of Memphis and Nashville.
Some of them obtained furloughs home
rather than face the music.
They have had no rain at Centreville
and in it's neighborhOod since the spring
floods. Some of the discOnsolate citi-
Zens attribute it to the first experiments
of an amateur farmer at Centreyille.
Boaz is nowhere to him if his expert
euce was told.
II. Clagett is going to Lick Greek this
week TO catch some of those large trout
recently reported to be in it's waters.
He hasn't slept any since he read Colo
mel Akers' account of his trip in Virgin
ia. He would have wound up his lines
for the summer had it not been for that
fishing expedition from Columbia and
the letters of Col. Akers from Virginia.
j p. Baird, the excellent Postmaster
at Columbia, and once highly respect
ed citizen of this county, is down on
visit to his mother and father, who re-
side about eight miles east of Centre
vile, on Duck river. He was in Gems
treville the other day, among his old
friends and acquaintances.

time. Some of our subscribers here |
thought perhaps, it came that way in |
order to make up a Mail on that route; |
as the rider on that route at one time |
came to Centreville with nothing but |
postal card. We would ask that this
route be appropriated to carrying the
Congressional documents and Agricul-
tural reports rather than the HERALD, If |
this be the object.
A tremendous bush drag was made
in the vicinity of Centreyille the other
day to catch fish in Duck River. 1t was
mostly 4 water haul they made, yet
they caught two very large salmon
weighing about twelve or fifteen pounds
each. The idea of stocking our streams
with game fish, is good one. Sir
Charles Lyell, the great English scientist,
says there are no streams in the world
better adapted to the growth of fish
than Duck River and its tributaries.
