Hotchkiss is sorry. He is afraid. He
hopes he is mistaken, and all that sort of
thing. One of his admirers, and a dill
gent reader of his paper, expressed his
regrets that he does not always get that
delectable shcet-the Experimentation
it is forty:eight hours old, and Hotchkiss
makes the complaint the subject Of a
quarter column article, denunciatory of the
postmaster, and charges that officer with
a disposition TO keep the Republican from
its readers. and with various and sundry
crimes and misdemeanors, concerning
which the postmaster has to say, that he
is not only willing-he is anxious to have
Hotchkiss' paper reach its destination
carly-hc is glad to get the filthy thing off
his hands, glad to have its lies and its
ISLANDERS placed before a Discriminating
public-glad to hear the judgment of
popular condemnation which is pro-
nounced against the infamous authors of
the lies which it contains, and glad to
hear it early. Why! to give an idea of
the pleasure which the postmaster derives
from sending out the old mans papers,
and from sending them out early, we may
state that the postmaster has advanced
the money necessary to pay the postage
required on the circulation outside of the
county. His papers are directed in such
a villainous hand as to render it impossi-
BILE for a person not used to it to dccipher
the supcrscription. Some of them have
been in the post-office for weeks for the
reason that they were misdirected. For
instance, one Of his papers intended for
SANFORD Ritter, comes to the Office regular.
]y directed to IS. Bitter,' and until the
blunder was discovered and the blame
was placed where it belongs the post
master was cursed by Hotchkiss for not
delivering his papers. That officer does
not desire to escape just criticism, but he
will not longer suffer abuse in silence from
q man who neither pays his postage nor
properly addresses his papers, nor gets
them into the Office until it is so near the
hour for the departure Of the..mails that
there is not sufficient time either to weigh
or to put up his packages. He has no
more right to expect that his papers will
go into another county without the pre-.
payment of postage than he has that a
letter can 60 without stamp, and
although we have advanced the money
necessary to admit his paper to the mails,
he is so mean as to abuse us for it. We
hope he will continue to publish his ras.
cality, for it is by such means that we e.
pect the people ultimately to learn what
a hypocritical fraud he is.

We wish some one of the Pulaski
physicians would seize his dissect-
ing knife, and, after minute analysis
and inspection, would inform the
world if there are any horses among
the nightmares, or uncles among
the ants. Although history don't
say so, it is our opinion there are
both. We will give a sheet Of fools
cap to the first one that makes the
discovery. One of our neighbors
not long since went to his well to
draw p bucket of water. Seeing the
moon reflected in the well, ae drop
ped down the bucket to draw it up.
Vigorously pulling, the rope broke
and he fell backwards, exclaiming:

bless the Lord, l pulled the moon
back in its place" ANXIOUS.

In this our feeble attempt to pre-
pare a sketch for public criticism,
we have to say there have not any
very interesting events occurred
since we wrote you last. The health
of our community is greatly i'm
proved; consequently, with no mar
riages or deaths we will have to
chronicle the passing incidents. Mr..
j. II. Caruthers passed through our
village few days ago en- route for
West Point, Miss, with a nice lot
of saddle stock. He purchased
them in Marshall county near Lew
isburg. So much lost by not hay
ing them to sell in our own county.
Mr.. j. +. English and family have
returned from a weeks visit to
their relatives near Spring Hill.
Mr.. VIM. Rea, formerly citizen of
our community, and wife are visit
ing friends and relatives here now.
His paw possesses the same genial
warmth as in the days of old. Mr..
A. j. Yokely, one of our clever
young countrymen, has returned
from a trip to Lincoln county,
where he went to purchase some
stock. ProJracted meetings are in
great progress around about here.
Rev. j. +. Walker has been con-
Quoting meeting at Minnow
Branch school house, which has re
suited in great good to the commu
nifty. Many professions, and sew
eral accessions to the Church. A
meeting has also been going on at
Rock Spring church which has
closed with favorable results. Rev.
G. L. Thompson stopped and de-
liyered an excellent practical SER
mon, which clearly defined the tenn
poral and spiritual duty of man to
his household. We learn from our
S. S. Superintendent that the stu
dents contemplate a celebration at
an early day. Our church is now
splendidly lighted up with nice
chandeliers which were furnished
by Mr.. Willie Craig of your city,
who made an excellent display of
taste and Judgment both in selec-
ton and price.
Rev w. E. Mckenzie has left us
for few days to attend the dedica-
ton of church at Manchester, if /
mistake not. We had the pleasure
to-day of meeting DR.. III. I. Camp
bell and lady, of Hickman county,
on the streets. They are paying her
father and friends a visit. The
Doctor will leave for Nashville to-
morrow morning on business. Mrs.
Campbell has a host of friends here
who will ever welcome her and her
highly esteemed husband to our
community.
We have just interviewed the
post master In regard to his delay
in not answering Esq. Farley's in
quiries of the distance to Pixies
Peak. He says he has given him a
time card and a table of distances,
and he is expected to leave soon.

Drs. j. +. Grant and Theo. West
moreland have associated them
selves in the practice of medicine
and surgery, land we invite attention
to their card. 1t will be seen that
they will give special attention to
the diseases of women and to sur
gerry. In the latter speciality DIR.
Grant is well known to have no su
perior, while DIR. w. had equal ex-
perience with DR.. G. in the late war
and is doubtless fully equal to any
in the skillful use of the knife. The
diseases of women has been a spe
cial study with DIR. Grant to our
knowledge for several years, and
during the time he has accumulated
large and complete outfit of in
struments and appliances for use in
that special line of practice. When
the new association was formed it
was discovered that DR.. W. had
also made this a study and was in
clined also to make it a speciality,
and thereupon another invoice of
instruments was ordered, aggregat
ing an expense of five or six hun
bred dollars. So we have no need
to send off for a woman's doctor,
and for this reason we take upon
ourselves the responsibility to say
what we have said on the subject.

Bethel.

Thinking perhaps a few items
from this prosperous little village
might interest and perchance bene-
fit your many readers, l make bold
to write you, although l am not in
the habit of writing for any paper.
Bethel is improving vely fast for an
inland village. We have fine
school conducted by DR.. Gardner.
We have a fine Methodist church,
and the contract has been let out to
build a parsonage for our preacher.
Mr.. w. G. Inman is building an adj
dition to his store house in order
TO keep n large stock of goods. Our
village is not finished place yet.
You can hear the sound of the ham
mer at all hours of the day. We
already have two stores. two gro
ceries, two shops and lookup TO
keep folks in when they become I'M
ruly. All we lack of having real
business place is a railroad.

bruised himself considerably. He
has the sympathy of everybody,
and we hope that it will not be long
until he will be entirely stored.
He is an Industrious and hardwork-

Mr.. j. w. Parker was very badly
kicked by a mule the other day, but
was improving at last accounts. He
finds by experience that it is a bad
idea to twist a mules tail. Mrs.
Saphronia and Master Louis Wynn
of Maury county, in company with
Mrs. Sanders of Mt. Olivet, visited
this village few days ago. Louis
seems to be struck with the appear
ance of one of Weakley's fairest
flowers. Success to his matrimo-

Mrs. Vaughn of this place yester-
day. Your correspondent has been

Gen. w. c. Whitthorne addressed
a very large audience of our people
at the court house Monday. He
expressed himself decidedly upon
all the questions of the day, strik-
ing plumb the democratic line
throughout. He condemns the
manner of Hayes election, but
would not disturb the country by
contesting it, and counsels the peo-
pie never to condone the fraud.
He favors the repeal of the gold bill,
the silver demonetization bill, the
resumption act, a modification OF
the tariff, curbing of the powers
of corporations, a more rigid OBJ
servance of the rights of the people
and especially the laboring man,
the acquisition of the northern
States of Mexico, the Texas Pa
cific r. R and all southern nation
al public improvements, etc. He
entertained the people nearly two
hours. His views are endorsed al.
most entirely by the body of our
people.
