THOMPSON STATION ITEMS.

Thompson station and vicinity were
never known to b9 so healthy as
this season. If we did not know it was
wrong, we would wish some one to get
sick so as too make our two handsome
and skillful physicians feel good.
We suppose there are more beautiful
and accomplished young ladies in this
neighbOrhood than III any other on the
American continent. We judge from
the number of young men who weekly
visit here from Nashville, Columbia
Franklin, and Marshall county.
In last weeks HERALD AND Mali
was II otice that certain young and
talented gentleman of Columbia, had
obtained license to practice law in the
courts of Maury county. If he courts
practice Oflaw in Maury with the same
assiduity that he practices counting in
Williamson, no is bound to succeed
we mean in the law practice
The lavender col0red painted, stOYe-
pipe hated and kid gloved wheat
threshing young man, OF which mem
ton was made by our spicy Spring
Hill correspondent last week, who came
to this county to thresh wheat last
week, was sadly Disappointed; the
cause OF his disappointment was, a cer~
tain young lady had gone to visit her
friends in an adjoining county, Giles.
The first day after his arrival he was
dressed ike other farmers.
Mr.. s. A. Pointer, the greatest wheat
lSt of Middle Tennessee, is about fins
ishing threshing his fine crop, and will
deliver at this depot, between eight and
ten thousand bushels.
Mr.. II. G, Wilson, young handsome
merchant of this place, has gone to
Beersheba Springs to spend a few
weeks, for his health. He has bad
case of heart disease.
I, - XI,oE n
ant correspondent, who, on one Occa-
sion not long since, wrote such grand
Eloquent description of ayoung lady en-
gagged in a game of crOquet, whose eyes
were of sapphire blue? There has been
great sympathy manifested here for
that correspondent; the general impress
sion is, he is certainly dead.
We noticed splendid sleeping coach
designed for the Duck River Narrow
Gauge r. r. passed this place the Oth~
er day, on Mr.. Rufus Miller's, wagon
it had wooden wheels. Mr.. Miller said
the able and efficient president of the
road, DR.. Mcclure, OF Lewisburg, order
ed it.
We were in Franklin few days ago,
and saw the renowned Bullock, of the
RcUie1U and Journal. His hair was cut
so short you could see everything in his
head-we mean everything on the out
SlON, ~ iOOhCI llhS CS pLO5o INIIOOJ DuO
full of good sound sense on the inside.
His friends say he had his head
shaved while Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
w re in Washington-he had said some
bard things about them in his paper
and was afraid on their return to the
Black Hills they would take Franklin
in their route he wanted to save his
scalp.
There was prOtIacted meeting at
the Methodist Church in this place, last
week, the results of which we hope are
good. The preaching by DIR. Wilkes,
of CulleOka, and Rev. G. L. Staley, of
Lebanon, could not fail to impress their
bearers feelings. These noble men OF
God won place in hearts of our people
that time alone can obliterate.
On Sunday evening last, we had a
woman preacher with us. There was
quite crowd ont to hear her preach,
not that they expected to be benefited,
but from mere curiosity. She halls
from the land of the Victoria Wood
bulls, and Susan B. Anthonys. She
was sent out by New York mission
airy society. We suppose, to convert
the heathens of the South. God help the
heathens, when it comes to this.
Look out, we think she is going to
make raid on Columbia.
