LYNNYILLE.


US to write the Lynnville letter this
week, a work we always feel re
luctant to undertake, since we know
our dry and pithy communications
only bring disappointment to those
expecting an article from 7. L. \.
Through the kindness of Mr..
John Shields, our very polite and
clever railroad agent here, we have
been permitted to get up what we
believe to be tolerahly accurate sta
tistics of the shipments of some of
the leading products of this part of
the country. To these are added
some which, although not entitled
to a place in the leading commodi-
ties, make up a more important
item than most of our people sup
pose.
We find that since September the
1st, 1875, there have been shipped
from this station thirty-four car
loads Of mules and horses, fifteen
Of hogs, thirty Eve % coru, sixty
five of wheat, fifty-three of lumber,
eight hundred and sixty-two bales
of cotton. Besides the above there
have been shipped a number of car
loads Of beef cattle, the exact sta
tistics of which we omitted to look
up, but believe ten would be low
estimate. A great deal of wheat
and produce of almost every de
scription h9s been shipped on the
R. R. in small quantities, while a
great deal more, especially of wheat
and cotton, has been hauled on wag-
ons to Pulaski and Columbia in
quest of better markets, (which in
justice to Lynnville merchants it is
but fair to say they have scarcely
found. In addition to the articles
mentioned above the agents books
show that there have been forward
ed from this place over 1000 pounds
of butter, 1881 pounds poultry
and IL, $50 dozen eggs.
Notwithstanding the low prices
that have ruled throughout the sea
son the produce sent away by car
load alone must have brought to the
sellers at least $4,000 to $4,000,
yet there does not seem to have
been any perceptible increase in
''greenbacks, "and every one is appa-
rently as hard pressed now as at
any previous time. Can any body
tell what has become of the money
or how much it will require to re-
lieve the country of debt?
We are glad to learn that salts.
factory arrangement between Mr.
Martin Fry and his creditors is nc
longer a thing to be talked about
but a liked fact. Col. John Wilks
aud Mr.. J. NJ Farmer, the trustees
elect, arr here to-day arranging mat
tiers preliminary to the win ding NJ
of his estate, consisting of above
nine hundred acres of valuabl,
farming lands and personal prop
erty. We are informed a consider
able quantity of the land can b,
rented at once by applying to til,
trustees.
The quantity and quality of rea
estate to be put on the market neal
this place, during this year togethe
, with the schools, churches and SUI
, rounding society ought to be a grea
inducement to those desiring t
emigrate to Middle Tennessee.
