Grand junction Items.

MEssRs. EDITORS As might be expected
Grand Junction is improving daily, to sub
stantiate which fact you have only to look
at the vast amount of cotton daily arriving
from the surrounding country, averaging
about fifty bales per day. The past two
days we have sent twenty-five cars loaded
with cotton and other products to New Or,
leans.
Our town was the scene sf many happy
congratulations last Thursday evening, in
consequence of the arrival of our lovely
young bride, nee Miss Calce Stephenson, and
fascinating groom, Mr. Alfred Gather, they
having selected your town for the celebra-
ton of their nuptials. The bridal party
arrived here in due time, accompanied by
members of the groom's family, and imme-
diately repaired to the residence of Mr.. W
D. Gather, where they enjoyed r sump-
tuous rePast ready for the reception of the
young couple. Among the friends present
Misses Matte Prewitt and Mamie Irwin
and Messrs. Tom Jones and Rob't Prewitt,
and after a delightful evening the party
dispersed with the many good wishes of all
present.
Rumor has it that one of the attendants
at the marriage ere long will be acting a
more conspicuous part on similar occa-
sion. How is it, Tom?
We of this part of the county think that
Gov. Porter is trying to serve for the good
of the people, though we think 60 cents is
too much. He has given satisfaction SO far
and we hope that the people will sustain him
in whatever is right.
The railroad men are anxiouslv awaiting
the arrival of the pay car, and hope in the
great press of business GenI Nicely will not
forget that Christmas is near at hand and
the laborcr is worthy of his hire.
We had the pleasure of listening to the
newly appointed Rev. Mr.. Walker, of the
Methodist church. last Sunday. He is very
acceptable TO our people and will doubtless
make many converts to religion ere his task
is complete.
Steadily progressing is the Academy, and
Col. Becton is making daily improvements
He will have large increase of scholars
and we'll sustained academy by the home
patronage.
The BULLETIN is growing daily in the
estimation Of our people.

I'm Damned" the Dying Youth Whispered
Several years ago an eminent clergyman
observed among his auditors a young man
whose appearance excited him with an IN
usual interest. He took pains to learn the
youthful strangers history, and found that
he was the child Of pious parents, and had
/ been trained to respect the ordinances Of
religion.
| By-and-by the young man was missed
/ frsn his accustomed place in the sanctuary.
| The eye of the pastor sought him in vain.
| He had met with company OF lively and
engaging skeptics who had persuaded him
/ to abandon the house of God for the more
manly" entertainments of their inhdel club.
Soothing and sensuality went hand in hand
at that club room. When his conscience
stung him, the opiate bottle soon drowned
the troublesome monitor. He became an
/ apt scholar in the ways Of sin. No young
man descends so rapidly into the abyss Of
dissipation as he who has plunged in from
the high standpoint of a quiet, moral coun-
| try life. This young man went fast through
| the several stages Of soothing, drinking,
| brotheling, drunkenness and his brief ca
Eeer Of sin soon did it's work Of ruin on his
| slight. delicate frame.
! At length the pastor was one day startled
| by summons to visit the unhappy young
mans death bed. lie found him sinking
| fast, and sinking without hope. As the man
! of God approached the bedside the youth
! hid his face in the clothes and refused to
speak to him. Finding it impossible to
draw word from the wretched victim Of
remorse, who was thus entering eternity in
sullen despair, the pastor offered a fervent
prayer and turned away. He reached the
! door. His hand was upon the latch, when
the young man suddenly rose in the bed and
| beckoned him to return. He went back and
leaned his head over the bed. The young
man threw his arms about and drawing his
head close to his lips whispered IN convul-
sive accents, I'm damned ~ and then sunk
silently On the pillow. No further efforts
or cntreaties could rouse him. HayiDs pro-
nounced his own awful doom hislips refused
to speak again, and before midnight his
wretchcd soul had flown into another
world
Here is a solemn sermon for city pastors
and pious parents in the country. It Is an
admonition to the one to watch well over
the tempted youth in our great Sodoms; 1t
is a warning to others against sending their
sons too eagerly and hastily into the fiery
furnace of city temptations A young man
in Baltimore withouta parent to watch him
or Gods grace to keep him lives on the dizzy
edge Of the pit.
/ Young men, as you read that poor profit
gates doom, be careful lest it be your own,
His history may be yours. If you have
forsaken Gods house for the house of de-
bauchery, or the haEnts Of the scofer; il
your evenings are spent in the theatre, the
drinking circle, or az the card-table, You
have good reason 70 tremble. Stop short
or you are lost.

OpenInr Services.

Last Sunday evening the Rev. Mr.. Wal
ker commenced his pastorate Of the Mstho-
diet church in this place Revs. Messrs.
Eorment and Smith called in their appoint
ments at their respective churches, and their
members attended service at the Methodist
church. This was graceful and practical
exemplifcation of the spiritual oneness of
Christ's followers. The world can but be
impressed for good by such anexhibition of
sincerity among christian professors De
nominationalism is = uon-eEsential in the
light of eternity.
At an early hour the main audience rosm
was well filed, and the devotional bear
ing Of these present evidenced the interest
felt in awarding the new pastor most cor
dial greeting. RevF. hessrs. Norment and
Smith occupied the pulpit with Rev. Mr..
Walker. The subject of the sermon was
the Great Gospel Commission" as found
in the writings of St Mark The reverend
gentleman lucidIy exemplifed by argument
and personal reference the nature and Office
of gospel evangelism and showed that both
in the Old and New Testament DAYS the
truly ordained preacher was he who had
been called of the Spirit, and not of man to
proclaim the glad tidings Of salvation. For
an hour the audience was edited by clear
and forcible statement of truths. We con-
graduate Mr. Walker that his introduction
to our people was made under such aus
picious surroundings. His devoted piety
and preaching ability will be appreciated
by our people. Cody conservation and
high mental gsfts are always valued by an
intelligent christian community. We hope
this year all the churches in our town will
move forward to occupy higher plane of
usefulness and religious development

Wn Wednesday evening, two weeks ago,
at an early hour, 7 war startled from my
dreams BY sounds unusual in this locality.
I hurried to the street, and half bewildered
took in the scene. Proceeding from the
direction of the depot Was 3 motley thronE,
white citizens and black-eepeciaIly the
female sex Of the latter-eld m II and boys;
vehicles drawn by prancing steeds, and
drays with sturdy mules; natdens with
hands over their hearts, and old DANES
leaning upon their stats news boys and pea
nut venders; black dogs and brown, ali
mingling made one KuriouS Krew." Even
the cats-Tommie and his madams-Con-
gregated upon the hsuse-tops, and bowling
this backs looked down upon the scene in
wonderment and pride, while the ringing
of bells, beating of drums and blowing Of
horns, added to the Wild enthusiasm Of the
crowd, made it all too deafening for pen to
picture. What did it mean? Had the
Chief Executive from the National Capital
dropped in upon US, or was Bolivar to be
honored by the visit of some crowned head
of foreign birth These and hundred
like queries flashed across ny mind, when
news boy thrust into my hand An extra cdi-
tion of the Morning Eclipse, with an intro
ductory yell, "All about the arrival of

Judge James Fentress has been appointed
Chief Solicitor for the consolidated New
Orleans St. Louis & Chicago railroad line.
This is a gratifying and practical evidence
of the appreciation of this distinguished
gentleman's services in the complicated and
important litigation attending the recent
railroad purchases by the Illinois Central
Company. In common with the comm u
nifty at large, we cordially congratulate
the Judge that his legal attachments and
personal force are held in such high repute
by SO influential a corporation, especially
when eminent men like Judge Emmett, of
New York, Judge Aver, of Chicago and
Judge Campbell, of New Orleans, would
esteem it an honor to direct the policy Of
the company he has been called to repre-
sent.

In support of the idea that narrow gauge
and short railroads pay as investments we
rc-publish what the RGiEuuy Age says on this
subject:
1--WE have noted several cheapIy-built
local railways, but the Pennsboro and Har-
risville, in West Virginia (three feet gzuge)
is about the cheapest yet. The president
writes uE that the whole cost of the nine
miles of road, including locomotive, a
passenger car and two gondola cara, was
$4,000, which is IN average of g., 1873 per
mile. The capital stock is $12, 900, and the
property is mortgaged for the iron, etc, for
$4,000, running ten years at eight per
cent. The earnings average from $500 TO
5000 per month; the expenses about $3.50.
At this rate the net earnings are from $3.50
per year. The lowest figure would pay a
handsome interest on the entire cost of the
property, which il what very few railways
in this or any other country do nowadays
We would like very much TO have the exact
figures for an entire years operation. One
other noteworthy feature besides tLe re-
markably small cost of the road is suggested
in this item: No paid officers on this road
but two freight agents, who are paid one
hundred dollars per annum each Here is
something for other companies to read and
consider. When they get the aggregate pay
Of their officers and agents down 70 two hun.
dred dollars per year they viii begin tc
make money"
These figures are marvellous. Nine miles
ofthree-feet road cost only-fuily equipped
$4,000, or S3,33S per mile. Moreover, il
will be seen there are no officers paid high
salariea to eat up the earnings Of the road
We call the attention Of the friends of the
Memphis and Holly Springs Narrow Gauge
road to these figures. There can be no full
development of tbs countEy's resource.
without railroads, and the narrow gusge
