RALLY HILL ITEMS.

, The quiet and peaceful atmosphere
> Flat Greek has been stirred in quite
r bellicose manner OF late. The warlil
y ardor was wound up to such a pitch
} the report that Columbia was going
have a military company, that Jal
!, Shires, little jake the great cat fishe
0 man, who always catches fish for ii
I? franklin boys when they are uniuck
in angling, has had a regular rough an
tumble ground fight with VIM. Clarl
There was deal of scratching and hi
ing in the fight. Jake has contendeC
ever since, that be got badly dog~bit i
. the muss. Col. VIM. Bostick and Ans
Harmon have had rumpus, that re
suited in wool-pulliug no bones bro
ken, however. One of our most quie
and peaceful merchants. about the dat
mentioned above. was attacked i'll hi
store by young man who was spoilin,
for fight, and nothing would do hin
but fight. Cal. accommodated him il
a very satisfactory manner; and Joseph
eye is in mourning over this Waterloo
defeat.
Last Friday night, some one attempt.
ed to rob Mr.. Lewis Ring, ST., just in
the edge of Marshall county. A person
| (Mr. Ring thinks he was negro) came
to the gate and called Mr. Ring out and
| asked him for directions to Franklin.
He asked Mr.. Ring to come closer to
him, and on Mr.. Il. doing so demand
was made for his money on his turn
ing to back into the house, he was shot
at by the unknown person, who quick
ly made off.
Governor Green HinsoD, knight of
the awl and follower of st. Crispin, has
now turned his attention altogether to
the Esculapian art. In short, the Gov
ernor has spontaneously, without hav-
ing his peg of knowledge rubbed against
anybody's medical college, gone to
practicipg medicine on Little Flat
Creek.
1t is thought probable that Mr.. K.
Burr Warren, the popular school teach
er of Ash Hill, and Mr.. w. b. Glenn.
the genial young merchant of Oak Hill,
will both study medicine under DR..
HinsOn.
Young Mr.. Snowman, a hide and fur
trader of Columbia, came through Rally
Hill recently on large mule with one
small coon-skin.
The only thing now active about Flat
Creek is the fur trade. Mr.. E. j. Will |
liams, the great polecat merchant of the |
city, of Spring Hill is making things |
lively on the creek. He is getting from |
fifty to one hundred skins a week. |
Ephe's presence in the neighborhood is |
always made known by unmistakable |
aroma in the atmosphere
An old war-horse on the creek sug-
gests for the new military company
hey expect to organize at Columbia,
hey elect Nat Jones Captain and Elder
ounkin DAVIS Chaplain of the company.
The tapping Of corn cribs along the
'dge OF Williamson and Marshall has
'een quite common of late. Several
moke- houses have also been entered,
nd various amounts of bacon stolen.
Notwithstanding the hardness of the
lines, and the fact of the citizens of
tiles eating a considerable amount of
over the Senatorial election,
here seems to be but one opinion of be-
ef in the wisdom of sending Andaew |
ohnson to the Senate. The Legislature
uilded wiser than they knew when
hey did SO. He has lived to be appre-
lated by his State; her debt of gratitude
or first raising the hand of defense
gainst the wave of Radical hate that
to forever submerge Demo- t
ratio landmarks has, has been paid; and t
his election the oft repeated Radical /
ander that a national Union loving :
eling among the Democracy, was a t
thing that the Southern people preach a
/ but failed to practise, has been nail !
to the counter. His election has been q
Drdially endorsed by all the great Lead S
g Democratic organs OF the Southern t
,ates. Elements are harmonized; the ,
obraidings of the past will be forgot +
II; the hot and bitter words of anger v
i'll be heard no more in the Democratic a
Id Conservative camp; moderation and
'udence will in the future rule the n
our.
