The unfortunate German alluded

tatiOn of an anxious mother. But

From Buford's Station.

Our bridge is at last completed.
The last nail was driven several
day ago, and the bridge is now open
to regular travel 1t consists of
one span of 60 feet, without central
pillar. The abutments are of the
finest limestone rock, and are con
sidered one of the best pieces OF
worlain the county. The builders
are Messrs. Brady and Hagerty,
whose skill and industry are widely
known through our county. The
contract was let out to the lowest
bidder and was received by the above
mentioned parties at their bid 81
per perch. Mr.. Compton did the
wood work, and a stouter, more
substantial job is seldom seen over
any of our streams. The cost of
the bridge was $1,26O 90. This
was more needed than any other
piece of public work in the county.
Since its completion every body is
perfectly satisfied and happy, every
thing wears a more smiling appear
ance, Our crops seem better and
our neighbors more bright and
friendly. There are however, two
unregenerated souls that will not be
made happy. The reason, l under
stand, Is because they have not vet

gard to shipments from BufOrds.
They were handed me by Mr.. Kerr,
our worthy agent. For twelve
months ending Sept. Ist 1875, there
were shipped 1903 bales Of cotton,
42S Of which were bought and ship
ped by W. 5. Alternately. OF wheat
there were 1888 bushels shipped
during the season.
Since Aug. 1st, A. c. Thompson
q Bro. have shipped % car loads
100000 feet, of lumber, chiefly to
Cincinnati. During the same time
they have received thlrteen car loads
of logs. The amount received for
freight and tickets during the month
of August $S6S.35. August is
always a dull month. Mr.. L. NJ.
Laneaye has just arrived here from
st. Louis, with lI6 head OF hogs for
himself and Judge Spofford. They
cost him here about seven cents. l
understand there is to be car load
here this week from near st. Lous
for sale.
We are very dry in this portion
of the county. Our grass is suffer
ing very much for want of rain.
Very little grain has yet been sowed.
Cotton is beginning to open very
fast, and several have already begun
to pick. Enough for once. \.

The Late Col. F. G. Huntington.

We chronisle the death of Col.
Huntington, at his home in Column
bia, on the 9th inst. The deceased
had been in feeble health for some
months past, but his friends did not
apprehend his early demise.
As far back as 1S49, it was our
pleasure as it was our profit, to be
intimately associated with the de
ceased under the friendly roof Of
that good man, long since gone to
his reward, Judge Edmund Dilla-
hunty. The impressions made on
us by that association, the lapse Of
a quarter of a century has not been
able to etface. We remember him
as the intelligent, cultivated gentle
man, the practical well poised man,
and the judicious counselor of those
more than his peers in age.
His career in Tennessee has been
one full of honor to himself and of
grateful remembrance to his family
and friends. He leaves to them
the heritage of that "good name"
which is better than precious oint-
ment."

Blue CREEK.

Mr.. EDITOR Believing that old
Blue Greek should be represented
in your good and widely circulated
paper, ! have concluded TO give
your readers Il kind of pFeiusOFy
article, and as l have neither sand
paper nor varnish, my remarks viii
not appear in polished style.
Your writer is but an rough asher,
from the quarry in its natural
state - has meyer been polished
in literature So IL yoGr readers
should see anything green" in this,
Just attribute il 70 the writer's igno
rance. Doubtless all your readers
have heard of Blue Creek, but per
haps some do not know where it is.
Well, II anybody can tell where it is,
they may do so. There is . branch
here, but no creek.
We have fine crops in this sec
ton, which, by the way, is nothing
strange, for we always have good
crops here, if anybody else does.
We have good farmers and good
dirt, which are two very essential
components in making 4 good crop.
A goOdly portion of our lands are
rolling and rough, and our roads
are rough and rugged, but a person
with a true and trusty steed can
travel here with but little danger of
losing his life.
We have two schools in progress,
one at Forest Grove, taught by
Mr. I. +. McCOFd, the other at
Blue Creek Seminary, taught by
Miss Ida Martin.
We have preaching at Forest
Grove two Sabbaths in each month,
by Revs. Brown and Pagan.
We think we stand in need Of
rain at this time, a good ground
soaker, out not a gully washer.
Health of this section very good
at present, and were it not that the
people here live in strict obedience
to the frst command, our doctors
wonid suffer, bus, as it is, 1 think
Blue Greek alone could support ,
good doctor.
There is one case of consumption
on the creek, Cd Miss Genelia Hen

EDIro RS CITIZEN Permit me
through the medium of your paper
to make a few suggestions to the
farmers Of this and adjoining coun-
ties The cotton picking and gin
ming season is approaching very
near, and ! would respectfully sug-
gest to the farmers the great import
ance of handling their cotton more
carefully. a very great mistake is
made by the farmer IN what he
thinks is economy IN picking up
the fiyings of the gin and the scat
tered and waste cotton about the
gin-yard and putting it ia the bale.
While there NAV not be more than
two or three pounds of this dirty
and trashy cotton in the bale. vet it
frequently causes a loss of from one
to two cents per pound, or eight
dollars per bale 1t would be far
better if this bad cotton was thrown
away or kept separate until there is
enough Of it to make a bale. By
q little care in this and other points.
thousands Of dollars would be
saved to the farmers annually.

Capt j. X. p. Blackburn, q live
practical, wide-awake granger, of
the Brick Church vicinity, who is
a Giles countian and therefore a
friend TO Pulaski, says that Pulaski
is destined to lose the entire trade
of his section, unless a turnpike is
built from Pulaski thereto, when
ever the narrow gauge road is com
pleted to Lewisburg from Columbia,
which, according to our informa-
ton, will not be many months.
We do wonder if our people are
never going to wake up to the i'm
portance of building this turnpike.
We have already lost the 18th dis
trict and her entire trade, and now
we are about 20 lose the trade of
that entire region about Brick
Church. For years we have
warned our people against the i'm
policy Of leaving our neighbors of
the north eastern portion of Giles

The American.

Such is the title of a new daily
paper in Nashville, the result of a
marriage of the Banner and I'm
ian and american. The of
spring is larger and better and more
comedy than either of its parents.
In fact it was a happy marriage,
and we think will be fruitful of
good results. We heartily cOrgrat-
ulate the prOprietors upon the wis
dom displayed in this consolidation.
At first we thought the new paper
ought to have been christened for
its parents "The Banner-Ameri-
can" or the american Banner
but are satisfied now that it is best
as it is. 'The American" is good
enough. Success to you all gentle
men,
