TRIGG'S STORE.

Perhaps some of your readers would
like to know where Trigg's Store is To-
Gated. X. 81 A. Trigg are the sons of
Hiram Trigg who was Deputy Sheriff OF
this county once. The store is located
in the northeast corner of the 10th Civil
District, on the west prong of Brad
shaw's Creek, within one mile of the
head OF fish navigation, three fourths of
a mile of Mt. Pleasant meeting house,
One-fOurth of a mile north of Pleasant
Valley meeting house and two hundred
yards west of G.. w. Clarks. Our lands
are good, worth from $40 to $40 dollars
per acre. Prospect of corn good, wheat
good, cotton and Millet not so good.
We were too dry up to the 18th, had a
storm which blew our corn down and
damaged it. l think consequently our
prospect for hogs not good. We have
two church hOUses-Mt. Pleasant of the
NJ. E. c., and Pleasant Valley of the @.
+. &. We all get along tremendously
Preaching at Mt. Pleasant the first sab
bath by Rev. Pagan, second by 5. Moore,
third by w. J. Brown, fourth by Cole

giving out his appointments, he said NJ.
G. would preach the 9Th Sunday, and
asked if there was five Sundays in this
month. They answered that they didn't
know. He said if it did not come this
month, it would come the first of next
month. Bill DOss (TOm Doss' brother)
said the preacher said so, and of course
he said it.

hood, and if we get sick, and are not
sick enough, he can give US medicine

Mr.. Waiver lives in the Thompson

hard to beat. We have new wood, and
a new blacksmith shop. The Orr sons
do work when called on, they object
TO doing anything but fine work. We

Fatal Accident.

Through correspondent at Corners
vile, we learn the particulars ola sad
accident, which caused the death in a
most horrible manner, of Mr.. Jas. Tur-
ner of that vicinity. On the 23d inst. Mr..
Turner was in town, riding a very large
fine mule, which he valued very highly.
In the evening when about to start
home, he invited a neighbours little son
to get up behind him and ride home.
The lad gladly accepted the generous
offer, and in attempting to mount, fell,
frightening the mule and causing it to
dash MIR. Turner to the ground. His
foot hung in the syrup, and the mule
ran up and down the street, the unfor-
tunate man being unable to extricate
himself.
The people were awe stricken, and
could do nothing. Mr.. Turner was
dashed against shade trees, corners of
houses &c, and finally the mule ran to
a rack and became cntangled with
other horses. Mr.. Turner was bruised
into jelly, and was insensible up to
the time Of his death the next morning.
He was one of the best farmers in that
section and was aged about go years
and feeble in health. lie was "a lover Of
good stock, and had them well cared

LYNNVILLE.

Owing TO the drouth of last season,
this has been an unprecedentedly hard
year in this section. PrOvender of ev-
cry kind has been exceedingly scarce.
More plentiful now. Bacon is in annie
supply, but nothing to buy with. Prices
from l215 10 Is cents per pound. I
venture to say there has been less bacon
consumed this season in Giles county
than ever before. Nature has been
most Profuse in her gifts this season TO
the farmer. The wheat crop already har-
vested, and for the most part threshed,
is abundant for home consumption and
thousands of bushels to spare. Average
yield per acre twelve TO fourteen bush
els.
K. H. Laird has raised on his two
farms near this place three thousand
bushels of wheat and five hundred BUSH
els of rye. There has been between
nine and ten thousand bushels of
wheat shipped from this point already,
and yet there are thousands of bushels
to spare Every farmer in this vicinity
with few exceptions has from twenty
five to one hundred bushels to spare
II the shipments continue as heavy for
the remainder of the month as for that
past it viii double th3 shipments of any
month since the railrlad has been built.
In addition to the wheat, large quanti-
ties Of lumber are being shipped from
the various saw mills in this vicinity.
Corn and cotton are looking well with
promise of heavy yield with favorable
season.
Hogs are scarce, not enough TO supply
home demand. This being the case,
with favorable seasons there will be
thousands of barrels OF corn for sale
The hay crop, most remunerative of all
crops, has made large yield. Col. w.
w. Gordon has moved and housed two
tons of Hungarian grass pc acre and is
preparing the same land for second
crop.
Col. A. II. Higdon has been very i'll

bushels of wheat at ninety cents per

GB- One of Pulaski's incest young
men went to Culleoka last week to an
ice cream supper. He got there before
dinner, was invited ont to dine, and
future generations will tell with won
der how he got away with cabbage and
bacon. He went to the ice cream sup
per that night feeling like he had a
cage of wild cats in his paunch, and he
took occasion to tell all the young ladies
that he was indisposed and that he at
tributed it to the cabbage that he got
away with from the dinner table. They
lived, however, and so did lie, until he
got home. He ate and slept and sat
around in the shade as usual for a day
or two, and the second day after his
arrival at home a barrel OF cabbage
came to his address through the express
office. He paid the charges, opened the
barrel and saw the joke the young la
dies had played on him; and then he
thought he had the best end of the Joke,
the barrel of cabbage, and he was de-
lighted with it. He gave the cabbage
to his hostess, because he could afford
to be liberal, when there was no cost to
pay. And then he settled back down
to living quietly again, and the matter
passed out of his mind as soon as the
cabbage passed out OF his hands; but
in day or two one of his hands came
up to him and said.
"Lookee here, Mars. Clay, whar's
dat barrel of cabbage Use done had sent
down here from Nashville to your care ?"
He never said one word, but he saw
that he had played the joke all on him
self, and that the young ladies had
nothing to do with it; and he sat down
and ordered the negro another barrel of
cabbage. A cabbage patch now gives
dies will send little paregoric it may
do him good.

Attempted Assassination.

Last Sunday night about II O'Clock
some unknown person shot through a
window of the cabin in which Ike
Hawkins, cold, lived, OH 7. b. Wade's
place, four miles north of town, several
balls taking effect in Hawkins hands
and body. His wife had just gotten
up and struck a light when the shot
was fired, and Ike was laying in bed
with his hands folded on his breast.
Two balls entered his right nipple and
ranged through his lungs, his left wrist
was broken, his left hand torn to pieces
by several balls, and one finger of his
right hand broken. DIR. Sumpter was
called in and dressed his wounds. He
does not think the negro will survive.
Hawkins has an idea who did the shoot
ing, and the person has probably been
arrested before this.

got tired of catching three pound trout at the
Wilson Factory dam, and baited his hook
with fifteen inch hog-suekcr, weighing two
or three pounds, and let it float down under
a bridge, where a big trout struck it. He
gave 1t plenty time to bite, although every
body told him to "Jerk, Gil! jerk" Gill
knew what he was about, and when the trout
had thoroughly swallowed the three pound

Advantages of Cheap Railways.

W. J. Sykes Brow rs vile Speech.l
Railroads had not paid as Investments be-
cause they had cost too much in the con-
struetion and in ooerating them, for the
amount of business they aid. He said we
need roads more cheaply built and operated
tie gave the experience OF the Cairo and St
Louis road to show the advantage of cbeap
railroads That road carried as many pass
engers and as much freight "a ann Of our
southern railroads at one third less expense
the coaches were equally as comfortable, the
time made was equally as great being
twenty miles ani hDsr, and they were Hable
TO fewer accidents The amount of freight
carried by them was as great on each train
as any road having as steep grades. He
had for some years thought these railroads
would answer all the purposes of more costly
roads and what was formerly a matter OF
opinion was now s matter of knowledge.
ne gave IN detall the advantages Of these
roads and described the manner IN which
they were built and operated. but we have
not space TO give all his renarks on this
branch Of thu subject He said he had ne
ialth IN legislative or congressional enact
ments to regulate railroad charges Sucb
at tempts had always proved abortive. and
had increased the very evils they were inten-
ded TO remedy. The only practicable RENE
dy is system OF cheaper roads, which could
be more cheaPly operated than those now in
use. Ali other remedies ould prove vain
and Elusive. He said he was aware that
anyone who would attempt to INTRODUCES a
new system would have many difficulties to
contend with, and no matter how iaudable
his object, how good mis- intentions, or how
practical his plans, would subject himself to
be considered Quixotie in his views, if he did
not incur the derision, or even odium, of
those who differed with him. He. how
ever, felt so confident on this subject that he
was willing for time and experience to deter
mine the soundness of his views on this
question If the people desire to submit TO
the present high rates of transportation on
local freight and passengers, all they have to
do is to reject the plan proposed and refuse
to build a system of cheap roads.
