heavy taxes have ruined our railroad

nuts. They will raise over four thOus,

barrels of corn, and large amount OF
cotton, this year. They have the finest
crops they ever made. Clint and Sam

The fall session of Centreville Acade-

court of this county for twenty-four
chiIls.
Somebody's old horse ate up Jack
Moore's late roasting-ear patch the 9TH

The candidates fol the Legislature in
Hickman and Perry are getting ready
their armor to go into the field this fall.
Whether the fight will be on the BUSH
whacking or "cooning" fashion, or in
regular pitched battles, our reporter is
not able to itemize. Col. Lewis WagA
goner shelled the woods on Cane Creek
and at Centreville few weeks ago. He
let off some twenty-fOur Founders at
the Civil Rights Bill, certain. 1t is un-
necessary for the candidates to discuss
the finances, for there is none in Hiok>
man to discuss.
The only banks in Hickman are iron
banks, and if Q only had old Lycurgus
TO make laws for us while, we would
resume specie payment Immediately,
and blackbacks, greenbacks and Ave-
twentIes might go to Guinea. We would
cheat st. Louis of the capitol, pay the
funded debt of our State, move Washs |
lngton City to Hickman, and have Wall |
Street in Newburg, with Black Friday |
every now and then to make the HER |
AID AND MAIL more lively. We would |
have the Nashville dailies filled in ev-
cry column with our greatness, and |
when Governor was to be nominated, |
a dozen or more apartments in the Max
well secured and numbered with the |
names of our delegates printed in full, |
to that con Yention. We would have no |
mistakes or omissions, when our peo-
pie were looking with anxious ewes for
their names.) We would have them
printed, aud we would know that they
were there, and that they were repre-
senti7sg our people. We would scorn
We would do all this, and we would de-
ny that we eVer raised goober.
There was GOOD crowd at Centreville
IN the 10Th of last month, to hear the
for Congress speak. Their
petitions are rather on the exparte or
Ter, all being Democrats and running
IN the same platform. The rights ofthe
parties, however, will all be settled on
he 18th inst at Columbia, unless some
are we'll taken and filed to
he report of the convention.
The mails are getting to be so large
between Columbia and Centreville that
he mail rider can't carry them on
horseback. Complaint is being made
IN account of part of it having to be
eft behind.
Some people in Hickman believe that
'orn this fall is going to be GWdy up
,O1eder. We need railroad to bring it
Town. So say many who have TO buy.
September is here with the sere and
Fellow leaf of Autumn.
Autumn leaves are falling,
And the flowers of spring are gone.
