Narrow Gauge Railroad Meeting.

Monday night the citizens of Bolivar met
the committee appointed at previous meet
ing to solicit subscriptions in aid of the
Narrow Gauge Railroad. Though the
weather was Indictment yet the attendance
was very good.
On motion OF r. L. Lightfort, Rev. J. G.
Acton was called to the chair, and W. S.
Armistead acted as secretary.
The chair warmly endorsed this railroad
enterprise and recommended it to the peo-
pie Of the town as one of the most feasible
agencies by which to give fresh life to the
waning energies of orr section.
jesse Norment, Esq, proceeded to make
the report Of the committee on subscription.
He stated that about s., 600 had been sub
scribed, and that the people objected to sub
scribing, though warmly favoring the build
ing of the road. 4 majority preferred that
the necessary amount of money required OF
Bolivar should be raised by taxation, as
such method was more equitable.
Whereupon, he submitted a motion that
a committee of ten be appointed to draft a
petition requesting the President and Stock
holders OF the Memphis s. Knoxville rail
road to ask the Board of Mayor and Alder
men of Bolivar to ascertain by vote of the
people whether or not the amount of $500
shall be raised by taxation Before, how
ever, presenting this petition to the railroad
authorities, the committee will wait on the
people to obtain their approval Of the same
by their signatures.
Acto dinghy Jesse Moment, F. Fentress,
c. A. Miller, L. Bills, \. T. McNcaI, J. w
Tate, r. l. Lightfort, NJ. Kahn, J. NJ
Richardson and Rev. J. G. Acton were APP
/ pointed to carry out the above resolution.
| On motion the committee was requested
to report at Il meeting to be held next Tues
/ day night. The people of Bolivar are NOV
cd to do something to revive the cuisines:
prospects of our community, and they deem
/ this railroad enterprise as of chief impor
lance in imparting fresh impetus to al
kinds of enterprises in our town. 1t is t.
be hoped that the opportunity now present
ed viii not be lost to our citizens to max,
our town a centre of new commercial anC
manufacturing life. Surrounding towns ar
getting the trade and doing the business lie
ultimately belonging to Bolivar, but !
seems that since the late fires our people ar
sleeping upon their privileges. Let matter
thus drift as they have been for the past l.
months and Bolivar will be the county sea
only in name.

Nevvsy Letter from Toms.

MEssRs. EDITORS Once again doth We
veritable Occasional" intrude among your
correspondents. The stranger visiting this
quiet village is at once forcibly impressed
by the open-handed hospitality Of the citi-
zens, the homelize atmosphere, the picrur-
esque scenery, the crystal spring, the vine
clad cottages, dotting hillside and dale, and
many other attractive features, serve to
make looms Station one Of the most pleas
ant places known to your correspondent.
/ Travelling five or six miles northwest from
this place, we arrive at the rural village OF
CIover-Port. If looms is hilly and pic
turesque, CIover-Port is level and beautiful.
While viewing its velvet lawns, its hand
some residences Its unpretending church and
its commodious academy, we are reminded
/ of Irving's charming description of "a
Country Village in England"
| 1t is useless to speak of the excellent
crops in the vicinity of looms, or the de-
/ lightful weather that extends Throughout
our southwestern belt. The good people are
well informed on those subjects. The days
$50 pure so calm, so bright" remind us Of
the pleasing stories of an 'Italian autumn
Can it be that the suns rays are miIder, or
the sky brighter in Italy's sunny cline?
Two soldiers of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia, who had fought side by side in every
important battle from Manassas to Apo
mattox Court House, had an accidental
meeting at this place a few days since.
| They had not seen each other for twelve
/ long years What meeting! What chan
! ges since the beautiful Gross of liars" went
down at Appomattox on that gloomy April
morning in 1863 They related many tales
"Of hair-brcadth 'scapes in the imminent
deadly breach" The writer of this was
deeply interested in the following: They
had found a grave III secluded spot
some distance from the battle fields Of 1864
1t was little mound of earth with Vrude
board at ting head, upon which was en-
graved the following words: mo name
Archcr's Tennessee Brigade" The hand OF
affection had not been there, but the winds
whistled a requiem, the birds tuned their
evening songs of love, the green grass waved
and a beautiful wild flower bloomed above
the hero's last resting place. How touch
ingly his fate Is sung by the poet in the
following lines:
I'm a Southern land, by the river side,
In a sunken grove, with thick grass o'crgrown,
Sleeps a Southern Soldier-name unknown
''He had fought all day, he bravely fell
Meath the dear old flag that he loved well,
Till the stars of eve, in sweet pity, shown
On ~ Southern Soldier-name unknown
There stranger had scooped shallow grave,
Meath the dreamy light the moonbeams gave;
And laid him down, with a board for a stone,
Marked y Southern Soldicr-nane unknown
There anxious hearts in Southern home
As they wait for absant one 10 come;
All! they do not know that in death, alone,
Lies a Southern Soldicr-name unknown
yet the time Will come which shall rc-unito
Those who pass from earth to the realms Of light
The loved ones mect-at the heavenly throne
, With y southern Soldicr-name unknown"

An Immigration Society for Hardeman
County.

Fellow citizens let us organize such an
association. Other counties of the State are
moving in this direction, and let US not be
laggards in the race of material develop
mont Such a society would be valuable
auxiliary to the immigration scheme now in
successful working operation by our indie
fatigable Commissioner of Agriculture, J. B,
Killebrew Have the President and central
office here in Bolivar, with a President
in each of the towns and sections OF the
county.
An immigration society has been formed
at Manchester, Coffee county, and large land
owners are donating alternate lots to
actual settlers About 1000 acres have
already been placed upon the books to be
given as above specified, and on the whole
the outlook for immigration to Tennessee is
encouraging
Just below Grand Junction over fifty
families from Indiana are located, some
having leased and others purchased lands in
that section. We have large tracts of land
which would be in demand if the owners
would only move to secure purchasers. We
offer this suggestion to our people and hope
that enterprising men will come forward
to project this society. Tt can be rendered
immensely valuable in filling our country
with class of thrifty settlers and with the
advantages of two railroads, most judicious
offers can be made to immigrants. Along
the line of the Marrow Guage road large
number could be induced to locate. The
lands around Bolivar, the Junction, Toms
Hickory Valley, Salisbury, Middleton
Ubet, should be brought to the attention OF
of these colonies from New Jersey and Wis,
consin, now seeking more genial homes IL
South
Let us be astir to make our county the
the theater of new and more inviting enter
prise. We are entitled to great prosperity
and should have it, and can have it, il om
people will only take heart to avail them
selves of the opportunities presented. Who
will respond to this suggestion?

NIEssRs. EDITORS Westward the star
of empire covered wagon) takes Its course. F"
Yesterday, several covered wagons left this
vicinity for Texas, representing several fam
lilies. Though we are 10th to lose these
good citizens, yet they have our best wishes
for their welfare and success in the "Lone
Star" State. We fear some viii be greatly
disappointed. We don't like to use e cuss
words, even in quotation, but we noticed in
a paper recently that a wagon passed East
ward through a Texas town with the follow
ing inscription on the cover: On
Texas. Bound for West Tennessee" no
tice in another paper that the aforesaid State
eemed to be wabbling;" that in one hour
fifteen wagons crossed a certain bridge
bound Westward, and about the same num-
Der passed over the same structure Eastward
seeking again the old home they had left a
