past year. Charley is a close student,
and looks rather worsted on account oft.
G The foundation Tor the court
house fence is about completed. Mr..

The railing viii be set in Immediately,

u Mrs. a Cox having determined
to leave Pulaski about the first of July,
proposes through our advertising col
umns to sell all of her household and
kitchen furniture, a fine piano and

everything Immediately.
G8 a patron of Martin Female Col
lege who had subscribed $75 for the
erection of the buildings, after witness
ing the exercises of last week at the Col
lege expressed his satisfaction by offer
ing to raise his subscription to $500. Go
thou and do likewise.
q Harvesting is now in full blast in
this county, and the yield is large, but
the oat crop is a failure, and without
rain very soon the corn crop will fail in
this immediate section. There have
been partial rains in this county but
none in this immediate vicinity.
~ A fight on the square last Mon
day between Messrs. John and Dan
Sullivan resulted in the former receiv-
ing a deep cut in the thigh from knife
and a severe confusion on the head.
The latter received four hard ticks from
hickory stick in the hands of the for
mer.
GZ- The benches at the NJ. E. Church
are not remedicd, as the painters prom
ised they should be. Last Friday even
ing, on the occasion of the Commence
ment exercises of Martin College, a
great many persons ruined their clothes
by having them to stick to the benches
where they were sitting.
Is We call the attention of our
readers to a notice published in our col
umns this morning of a stockholders
meeting of the Tennessee River Iron
and Manufacturing Company. Let all
who wish to take stock do so before the
day of that meeting. DR.. J. F. Grant,
John @. Lester and VIM. Il. McCallum,
Esqrs., have subscription papers.
"a One of the opposers of the rail-
road tax voted last Saturday, much of
whose valuable time has been spent in
the last week in contending that the
voting of the tax would not raise the
value of real estate, asked one hundred
dollars more for town lot Saturday
evening than he had asked in the morn
ing, and we understand that he sold it.
-eSs s-s-
Gz- 1t required a three-iourths ma
jority to carry the railroad tax last Sat
urday, and consequently it took three
votes for it to balance one vote against
it. Notwithstanding this, we heard of
one or two instances where voters paired
off. This was taking an advantage of
the OppOsers of the tax and may posi-
bly, result in a contested election, as that
is their only chance.
q Although they were balloted for
in the county convention on the lst inst,
the names of Jno. r. Johnson for Sher-
if, VIM. Houston for County Court
Clerk and w. G. Lewis for Tax Conec-
tor, were not before the convention at
all. Neither of these gentlemen sub
mitted their claims nor will they with
draw from the eanYass. So with Maj.
Aymett.
gB We have on our table samples of
wheat and oats grown near Brick
Church by MIR. F. 5. White, which are
absolutely wonderful. The oat heads
will measure at least 10 inches and are
full and heavy-of the Northern Black
variety. The wheat is the Tappahan-
mock and was first introduced here last
year. Only half gallon then produced
~ bushels, which is equal to 90 to /.
There are over eighty grains to the
head.
- The people of Giles are trying to
unite their strength against radicalism.
The late convention was called for no
other purpose but to defeat the negro
party. 1t was held in the interest of no
particular set of candidates, but for the
sole and only purpose of concentrating
upon good men, to be selected from a
number of good men who We're aspi-
rants for the various offices to be filled.
OF course every man who went into
that convention is bound by its action.
q There was some difference OF
opinion among our people eve mean
democrats and conservative, of course
for there are very few white radical;
now as to the necessity of a convention
