An Improvement.

This county is already real
izing the improvement following
the change in our railroad man
agement. The Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad last Mon
day extended the accommoda-
ton train that has heretofore
stopped at War Trace to Cow
an. BY the new arrangement
people will be accommodated
for q distance of 81 miles on
the main road. Travellers will
now leave Fayetteville at Ais
A. NJ, arrive al Nashville at
l2:OO, and return home by the
regular passenger train next
morning, thus remaining in
Nashville only one night, where
as under the former arrange
ment two nights were spent
there. Twenty-lour hours are
thus saved to the people of Lin
coin county, who have hereto
fore been delayed that long in
going to and returning from
Nashville.

make his third season this year,
at the Centennial Livery Stable,
which will begin March 18th
and close August 1st. His colts

this section Of country. There
will be an exhibition of his
colts at Fayetteville, on the 1st
Monday in April, when suita-
bic premiums will be awarded
and where parties wishing to
breed, can judge for themselves
what John is capable of doing.

o. New England is aff1ic-

@ New England is Attic
ted with dam disasters. The
Haydenyille catastrophe in
Massachusetts, was startling and
appalling. The unloosed wa
tiers swept through three or four
villages, almost wiping them
out. This time it is Stafford,
Connecticut, that is the scene
of the food. The Staffordville
reservoir gave way Tuesday, the
9th, and the waters wrought
fearful ruin. j National Bank
was washed away, and it re-
quires a tremendous flood to
conquer National Bank. A
Congregational Church was
swept into ruin, and a Congre-
gational Church, in New Eng
land, is one Of the most stable
of things. But there was a
vast amount of damage done by
the overlooking of the village
Of Stafford. Miles of railroad
track were washed away. Two
Howe truss bridges were an
initiated. a freight depot was
washed out. Thirty houses
were watered away. Only one
life is known to have been lost,
but the loss of property will a.
mount to half "a million dollars,
as nearly as can be estimated
perhaps more than that. Prob
ably one thousand persons will
be temporarily thrown out Of
employment, and several manu-
featuring Companies will be
severely crippled. There must
be some defect in the New Eng
land system of managing wa
ter. They don't dam it enough.

The Narrow Gauge.

A regular meeting of the d.
rectOrs of the Duck River Valley
Narrow Gauge Railroad was held
in Lewisburg on Monday, the
Goth, and an adjourned meeting
in Columbia on the night of the
same day. DR.. M. D. Hampton,
OF Fayetteville, represented Lin.
coin county. The Board passed
over the road and reported it in
excellent order, notwithstanding
the work is not completed, con-
siderable ballasting and Ginning
up having yet to be done. The
track is very smooth, and the
time required in running from
Columbia to Lewisburg is only
one hour and q half, including
stOppages. The coach comforta.
bly, seats over thirty passengers,
leaving ample spacefor a room for
baggage. The road is to he
pushed forward as rapidly as pos
slble TO Petersburg and eventual
iy to Fayetteville. Those famil.
lar with the road, its capabilities
and prospects, think that, when
completed to the Winchester and
Alabama road at Fayetteville, it
will be one Of most profitable lines
in Tennessee.

A New Industry.

Mr.. John Purcell, a recent
welcome immigrant to Fayette-

comc associated with NJ. d. II.
Chandler in the manufacture of
the Purcell Spring Bed Bottom.
A half hour can be spent very
pleasantly in a visit to their fac
tory, on the South side Of the
Square, to see the dexterity
with which the springs are made,
how fitted to the Stats, the in
genious devices for preventing.
noise, the ease with which the
bottoms are packed for ship
ment or put up for use, the evil
dent lifetime durability OF the
invention, and the very low
price at which it is offered. In
the construction Of the Bottom
not a nail or screw is used; yet,
it is so ingeniously arranged
that it cannot get out OF order.
