TEMPERANCE REFGRT IN GIRSOS
COUNTY.
Knowing you, Mr.. Editor, to be
decidedly temperance man, it is with
| pleasure that | elicit the attention Of
the readers of the EXCHANGE to some
encouraging thoughts rs to the sue
cessful efforts being made at TIE pres
ent time in our county in behalf Of
temperance.
There are about thirty societies,
with an aggregate membership Of
about two thousand, in successful Op-
Grafton in Gibson county. There Is
less opposition to encounter from
the ranks of the Incorporate than
ever before. Leading citizens, bust
ness men who control their appetites,
temperance men, religious men and
women and ministers of the gospel,
are in the front ranks of the contest.
We are happy to learn that the indie
fatigahle workers, Rev. NJ. VI. BAL
ly) Taylor and Rev. 10. McTeskey
have been appointed deputies for Glib
son county, and are actively engaged
in the field We are happy, also, to
learn that brother j. II. Holt preach
ed few Sundays ago in the Chapel
Hill pulpit, "rousing' sermon on
temperance, which has had glorious
effect. We are glad that brother
Holt did this, from the fact that We
are credibly informed that the only
public enemy of the temperance re
form of which we have any knowl-
edge, on the part of the ministry, had
or previous Sunday, at the same
place, publicly guessed that the writer
had not examined his Bible for d spec
fled time.
Now, Mr.. Editor, though it is a
seeming depression, let me call atten-
ton to a rumor put in circulation by
some unknown, irresponsible party.
The writer is charged with having
slipped in at the back door of some
saloon in Milan and drank whisky at
the bar. | have only to say, calling
all the whisky sellers of Milan to
witness, that it Is as infamous a false !
hood as the bad man ever allows his /
boys to tell. j. j. GRAY,
State Deputy |. o. g. I.

Tomorrow delegates from all the
oranges of West Tennessee are to
meet in this city for consultation on
points of interest to the order. Our
citizens viii of course give them a
hearty welcome and make them COM
Portable during their stay with us.
We hope steps will be taken to estab-
lish a large manufactory of some
kind here by them. Why not build
a large cotton mill? Our farmers
would by this means save transporta-
ton on the raw cotton to the New
England mills and freight on the goods
back here. Besides, ready sale can
be had for all they can manufacture,
at handsome profits. A mandatory

We are panied tie hear that our
friend, Mr.. James Young, was thrown
from a buggy last evening and very
badly, though not seriously, hurt.
The accident was caused by the horse
taking fright at some of the show
vehicles and running away, threw
the buggy against the fence, which

PASSING NOTES.

The EXCHANGE has reached my
Office, and 1 am highly pleased with
its appearance, its editorial depart
ment and the general and local news
it contains. Indeed, everything com
ing from Aiilan-the future great city
Of West Tennessee-is pleasing, and
you, Mr.. Editor, Will not be Surprised
at this when you are informed that the
writer's better half was raised near
your sanctum, and that within and
near your city live many of the best
friends | ever had; while others sleep
"hard by" in the cold arms of death.
/ The health of our viiluge is now
good. Mr.. J. T. Grier, one Of our
Oldest and most respected citizens, died
at his residence in this place Friday
last. His remains-after appropriate
religious services-were inferred by
the MasOns, Changers and United
Friends of Temperance, to each of
which institutions he belonged for a
time before his demise. He had an
extensive acquaintance in our county,
and was known by all to be loved and
admired for the many traits Of moral
and christian character that he pos
sessed. He was a good and true man.
Peace to his memory. So mote it be!
The weather history for the present
spring seems to be without a parallel
Change Is certainly the standing order
Of the elements above us; while the
rain torrents are almost constantly
laughing at the wild confusion mani
tested in human society; but it is all
for the best, and he can best submit
who properly considers the words of
Earth's great King: "Wait upon the |
Lord and he shall give thee the desire |
of thy heart" We have the "most |
knowing weather prophet in all the
realm, and it is to be guessed from his /
physiognomy and recent revelations
that We are TO have nothing but rain, |
rain, until the 18th Of May, and then
Jack frost will uncover his hide
Gus form and bite, woefully bite, ev-
erything in the vegetable kingdom.
Time is the great fortune-teller of all
earthly events, and we shall see wheth-
er his prophecies are false Or true.
The wheat crop was never more
promising at this season than it is now,
and if not injured by the fuliilment Of
the prophecy alluded to above, there
viii certainly be an abundant yield.
Your correspondent is inclined to
the opinion that the Patent Office
(to save expenses) will have to estab-
lish branch department here, unless
the brakes are put on the inventive
genius Of several of oar friends. W. |
A. Hearn, Esq, has just visited the
Capital of our Nation, and received
letters patent" on some two or three
inventions that are necessary and con
vcnient in agricultural work. Anoth-
er party has invented ''selfcoupling
apparatus for cars; another a "brake"
for the use anil benefit of railroads,
said by some to excel the patent air
brake altogether; and still another,
Mr. Stubblefeld, says he has the long
and often dreamed of perpet-
lal motion. Well, well, what next,
'ay you. l will try and Keep you adj .
yiscd. The time allotted to this letter
having passed, l will close. More
