Messrs. Hodge and LipscOmb need any
witnesses in the investigation to be had
on their Lick Creek trout, to set them
selves fair and right before other fisher
men, let them send to Hickman for
them. The party aforementioned
caught fOrty-twO trout in their two
days fishing. We dislike TO consume
our space and make the subject of perch
and trout thread bare to some OF our
readers, but great events like the one
we have described cannot be well put in
without Soioo allusiou to things which
hav TRANSFERRED in the past; therefore
we beg charity of our readers to allow
US the privilege of reverting to the sub
.ject again in order that we may transfer
honors, upon which they have surfeited.
TO others who will bear them with great
er equanimity Mr.. johnson declares
that hencefOrWard he wears the red belt

Seven Pound Trout was never known
to be caught on line and reel in Piney,
Lick Creek or Swan, before.
The big trout OF Piney has swallowed
all up all our Hickman County Items,
and shaded out past recollections OF
Blue Buck and Lick Creek.

HICKMAN COUNTY ITEMS.

Veni, vidi, yici ! Marsh John son, on
Tuesday evening last, in Pine River, in
Hickman county, caught the biggest
trout that ever turned reel, or brought
a smile DER the jubilant cOuntenance of
any fisherman in these or any other
waters. Capt. John Barnes, OF NASH
Vile, II. Clagett, DIR. Norris, and Marsh
Johnson, of Centerville, were the party,
who were engaged in this piscatOrial
sport when this distinguished stranger
of another cline was welcomed, thrice
welcomed to the banks of the beautiful
and romantic Piney. Clagett, forgetting
his usual gravity of manners, dropped
his reel and shouted for Douglas Capt,
Barnes, leaving off levitv and witty hui
NOR which generally characterizes him
on such occasions, Immediately assume
ed an upright position, IAN unusual pO-
sitiOn for him) with the most serious
air, and stood as motionless as a statue;
while DR., Norris knocked over the min
now bucket, fell in the creek and lost
his tackle, and thought it was Jonah
with another whale which had come to
light. Alter few minutes quiet was
restored, and they began to take more
conservative view of the situation.
Capt. Barnes did not believe that his
pocket scales would weigh the fish, and
so they sent him to Centreville to be
weighed. DIR. Norris arriving late in
form scales at DR.. Wilson's Drug Store.
1t is enough to say about this Piney
JOhnsonian~trout, tn at the black perch
of Blue Buck, and the C"Runt'') trout of
Lick Creek, are as Insignificant beside
him as all former perch and trout were
to the Douglas and Hodge triumphs,
sometime back. In order that John ID.
Miller and other fishermen may have an
idea of his immense size, we will say that
DIR. Norris has a board eight inches
wide thrust in the mouth of this Pine
River Jobnsonian monster, preparatory
to sending the proportions of his head
to the Exposition at Nashville, by Capt.
Barnes, on his return home, there to be
exhibited as another Wonder of the
World, and if it can be preserved. it will
be afterwards forwarded to the Centen-
NAL in 1876, constituting one of the
chief attractions to all fishermen in that
great exhibition. We will say now for
the benefit of our friend Hodge, that all
investigations, we learn, as to the size of
the Lick Creek trout by Hickman
county fishermen, will be dismissed at
once, and all insinuations as to
six pound trout, will be stopped by
them, and if any queries or installations
come hereafter about the size of trout
in Hickman waters, they must come
from other sources; the association OF
fishermen in Hickman are not now
skeptical on that subject at all; and if

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

Rev H. \. Jones received eight persons
into the {. l.. Church last Sunday morning
accompanied by a few admirable words,
After which DIR. A. w. Smith, the MethO-
the 4th chapter of the first epistle of John,
I'VE love him, because he first loved us. y
This, the preacher said, was the logic of love.
Everything has its logic; mathematics has
its logic; science has its logic; and love has
its logic. After preaching grand sermon,
DIR. Smith closed with the following beauti-
tul eclectic parable, illustrating the power
OF love. A beautiful rose nestled in the mid
die OF a garden; and the North wind came
with its chilling breath and, like lordly
h1ng,aSked for a kiss, but the rose would not;
the sharp east wind, salt and biting, came
and in the language of a monarch, required
a kiss, but the rose turned her sweet head
away; the West wind came In thunder,
lightning and hail, and in the language OF
a cOnquerOT demanded a kiss, but the uari-
ing rose hid her head in fear and trembling.
Andthen the sweet, gentle South wind came
stealing softly and meekly and sweetly,
and in the modest, timid Language OF love,
begged for a kiSs-and the rose kissed the
South wind. When DIR. Smith had nn1Shed
preaching. he at the suggestion or permls-
sion of the pastor of the church, Mr. Jones'
opened the doors Of the NJ. +. Church, and
received six. The Doctors words to each
one of those he received were touching and
affecting.

authorities of the &. z. Church of this city,

Prosperity of Columbia.

From information and observation
we learn that no town in Middle Ten~
nassee is keeping pace in prosperity
with COlumb ia. On every side. and in
every direction, the carpenters hammer
can be heard, and new residences and
cOmmOdious business houses are going
up. Every contractor and every
carpenter has his hands full, and other
towns and cities are laid in contribu>
ton. Property has advanced of course,
and in few years Columbia can claim
to be a city What has caused this
spirit Of enterprise and progress? Moth
ing less than the building of the narrow
gauge railroad to Fayetteville. When
il is completed, then continue it to-
ward the West, to some trunk line,
and Columbia will continue to advance
and grow, and prosper. Does anybody
regret the little amount the corporation
invested in the enterprise? Already it
has baen paid back in the greatly i'm
proved condition ofthe town.

The meeting of the Maury Trottipg
Association took place last Tuesday, at
the Fair Grounds. The day was beauti-
tul, and numbeg of first-class horses
were present, which promised to make
the day lively and interesting one; but
one important thing was lacking-a
crowd. Strange to say, only very few
persons were present. Very liberel pre-
miums had been offered, AID the pros
pect for the Association was gloomy
indeed. In the nick of time, Mr. A J.
McKimmin, who is we'll known in this
vicinity, came to Col. Keesee and volun-
tarilY proposed that no race be run.
This was exceedingly liberal and gener>
GUS, when it was almost absolutely cer~
tain that Mr.. McKimmin would have
taken at least one hundred aud seventy
dollars in premiums, and probably
more. He said he had always been
generously treated in Maury county,
and appreciated the fact. Col. Keesee
insisted on one race, anyhow, for the
$50, for horses that had never beat three
minutes.
A. j. McKimmin entered Lee Bell;
w. G. Lewis, OF Giles, Lancaster; J. T.
l.. Cochran, Ginseng. Time, 3:4K. Ian

third. Second heat, Lancaster first, Lee.

interest the crowd; no premiums or bet
ting. DR.. A. l.. Pillow, Jesse S. Harris
and Joe. Ii. Dew, were the judges.
McKimmin entered Chieftain and
BlackwOod. The first heat ChieftaiD
came out ahead. Time 1854, which |
was better than his recorded time. Sec |
Ond heat, BlackwOod came out first. |
Time 2:34H. This race excited great in
terest.
Col. Keesee's beautiful Diana trotted |
against time, and made it in 2:4612
A scrub quarter race was gotten up |
between Mr.. Hays gray mare and DR.. |
J. t. Atkins pony. The pony, which |
had splendid rider, beat both heats.
Messrs. McKimmin and Lewis were |
just from the Huntsville Fair, where |
they were quite successful. Mr.. Lewis
is a Columbus horse. Mr. |
