BartIett-The Small Fruit BusIBes. E,e.
From an Occasional Correspondent
BARTLETT, May 18.-Just now Bart
lett is "lOOking her prettiest;" clothed in
green garments of heavens freshest mil
linery, she presents pict1re that would
tempt anyone rustically inclined to for
sake the noisy solitude of the city and
become denizen. The strawberry sea-
son has fairly opened, so We have lively
times about the depot and pOstotfice
when the hslf-past three o'clock train
from Memphis arrives. A great many
berries and peas are shipped by ex-
press on this train, mainly to st. Louis,
but also to Louisville, Cincinnati, In
dianapOlis and Chicago. The berries
of, the next excitement is receiving
and comparing sales of former ship
ments and receiving the money for the
same, The principal dealers in st. Louis
and Chicago pay by drafts upon Wright
q Son, Of this place, which is a great
convenience to the shipper aud 3
shreWd dodge OF the consignee to get
trade. Fancy stencils are furnished free
to all who ask for them. The condition
Of the market is telegraphed
daily by Mr.. n. W. Wetmsre, Of
st. Louis, who seems to be the most
enterprising dealer in any of the cities
named. This industry brings to Bart
lett from two hundred to five hundred
dollars daily during the strawberry sea-
son. These are handsome results for the
eight or ten men engaged in the busi-
ness. But the infection has taken, and
most of the farmers in reach of the de-
pot will be shipping small fruit in a year
or two. 1t brings in money at such a
ioh inn nf n
Mr.. L. w. Hamilton, northern man
and an estimable gentleman, belongs
the credit Of having initiated the small
fruit business at Bartlett. He has de-
mOnstTated possibilities that were un-
thought Of by our native citizens few
years ago. There is to be an entertain
ment at the courthouse on the evenings
of the nineteenth and twentieth instants
for the benefit of the Cumberland Pres.
byterian church. 1t is to consist of mu-
sic, charades, tableaux, Strawberries and
ice-cTeam. Our village was hon
ored a few nights ago by having
pitched upon its streets the tent of the
tOheeLbGTTO1O man, Weston, on his way
to the centennial show at Philadelphia.
He was interviewed by your correspond
ent. He is laboring under a strange
species Of insanity, or else he is "longeT
headed" than some of US. He says
"there are millions in it," that is, the
wheelbarrow. He read TO us from his
diary kept during his former notable
role. 1t was well written, abOunding,in
amusing incidents connected with the
trip. He says he will have this printed
in Cincinnati, and expects to sell copy
to every person he meets from there TO
the centennial, and putting up his tent
finally in the centennial building, will
cOnsummate his fortune. His three
children are with him, the mother is
dead. The babe has through ticket on
the wheelbsrrOw. The muscular devel-
Opment of the children is wonderful.
Our annual fish-fry at Well station
takes place on Saturday.

JEFFERSON DAVIS AT LAST.
His speech nt HOesioR Received as an
Ear1ost OF IA Revival Of Patriot
ism ana Leve of Our Union.

Me- nrk Herald
We congratulate jefferson Davis upon
bis Speech at Houston, Texas, in which
be called upon the old Confederate SOL
oleT5 to give the same devotion to the
Stars and Stripes that they had shown to
the flag q the lost cause. The influ-
euce OF man like Jefferson Davis upon
The people who once followed him, IL
properly exercised, will be OF unspeak-
able benefit in the pacificatiCn Of the
country. We have always felt that it
viii be remembered TO the discTedit of
General Lee that at the close Of the war
he sank into policy Of apsihy and 81.
lence, and did nothing TO reconcile the
people he had commanded to the new
order OF things. Mr.. Davis could scarce
ly have done this, considering his treat
meut by th5 Federal government for a
long time after the war. This made il
impossible for him to do anything but
content himself in prison. We can
well pardon the feeling of resentment
in the heSrt Of the proud and disap-
pointed man which has led him into
many indiscretions since the war;
bat Jefferson Davis has won too great
place in history for him to throw
it away by any foolish encouragement
Of the old spirit of rebellion. He lives in
the past. He has written his name with
the few who will be remem bered for all
time. The history of the COnfederacy,
fOrlorn as it is, will always be a roman
tic episode in the history Of America.
Its defeat will attract the sympathy of
millions who respect valor and who
mourn over misfortune. There is moth
ing left to Jefferson Davis and his fame
but to give the remainder of his years to
the people, to extiuguishing
the embeTs Of war, to the encouragement
OF patriotic affection, and bringing the
old remnants of the Union together in a
more solid and lasting embrace. We ac-
cept his speech at Houston as an earnest
OF his spirit, and congratulate him, as
as well as the country, upon this evil
dence Of timely, il late and reluctant
patriotism.
