CAMPBELL,s STATION ITEMS.


Mrs. VIM. winn, who owns a part G
the original tract of land of the lat
John Cheatham, snapped her land. acr
for acre, with Mr.. Sanders, SO far as her
would go, add then gave Mr.. Sanders
per acre, tor the balance, what he hat
paid for it on the day OF sale. Mr.. San
doIs now offers the tract that he go
from Mrs. Winn for sale. Lawsuits be-
tween our citizens seem to be the ordei
OF ths day. Several have occurred re-
| Gently, and the loser almost invariably
! appeals to the Circuit Court. In the
cases referred TO, the amount in dispute
was not more than fifty dollars. 1t is
| very bad policy for a man to take case
10 court when the amount is no more
| than fifty dollars, especially when he
has to go twelve or fifteen miles, and
accompanied by a dozen witnesses. II
| lie gains it, he will be loser. A bad
compromise is better than a successful
lawsuit, any time. Times are too hard
for neighbors to spend their substance
at law. When men cannot settle their

bors, think of it,
The train that runs between Columbia
and Nashville, as an accommodation,
runs south of Column ia as freight. II
the superintendent would allow the
people in this portion of the county to
come home on that train at night from
Columbia, it would be a great accom-
mediation to them. They would be will
ing to ride in the caboose-the passen-
ger coach being dropped i'll Columbia.
There would be no necessity for this
any farther south than this station.
The next station south OF this is in Giles
county, and the people go to Pulaski as
their business point.
c. S. Williamson has commenced a
school in the neighborhood of Hopes
well. 1t is about five miles from Mr..
WilIiamson's to the school-house. He
goes from home. He is considered one
Of our best teachers, having had an ex-
perience of eight or ten years.
Our farmers have done nothing i'll the
way of farming. January was very
bad month ior the business, and Febru>
d ~, so lar, is no better.
Miss Jane Ramsey, daughter of the
late Robert Ramsey, died on the 9th
INST, at the residence of her brOther~in- |
law, William Lowrance, in Marshall |
Thomas White is having some rock |
fence built. That kind of fencing is |
very scarce in this vicinity.
b. f. Hobbs, who lives near this place, |
cut down an ash tree on the 9Th inst,
and caught twenty-eight squirrels.
There were thirty-four in the tt ee, six
Of which got away. He strung the
Jwenty-eight on a string, and brought
them to the station for show.
\ certain stone-mason, who resides at
Hurrican, came to our village not long
}ne few miles south of this, but not
being able to do anything this cold
weather, he came to town to while away
he time. While here he ccnclud-
ed to go to trading to see if he could
make something. He traded off his
ck-kuife tor two drinks of corn-juice,
md being satisfied with his days bust
less, ne started for his place of work.
IN his way he got into a difficulty with
lie railroad, and received a heavy blow
.cross his lett optic with a cross-tie,
' Itch closed it for a time.
Tue RAIDS seem to be dying hard.
should they succeed in making the CT vii
lights bill law between now and the
irst Of March, the only harm the South
rn people ought to wish them is, that
hey may be fortunately situated that
hey may enjoy the fruits of their labors
0 its fullest extent, prdcticaLLy.
