1 have gladly accepted an invita-
ton from your correspondent to
give you few lines, I hope inter
esting, from this section. l think
your champion correspondent is at
present looking much to the interest
of one, fair and lovely one, instead
of to that of the village.
am sorry indeed to pen the
death of one of our old and venera
BILE citizens, Mr.. John Story. He
has been a resident of our neigh
boring village for forty years past.
and was, L am glad to learn, a
Christian. He joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church in 1887, aud has
up to his death been prompt at
tendant to his post of duty in the
Church. His death was sudden and
unexpected, and was indeed shock
ing to his neighboring friends who
deeply mourn his loss.
The accomplished wife of our
neighbor Mr.. j. NJ. Parker has Just
returned from two weeks visit to
he sister Mrs. Fletcher Cheatam,
nee Mrs Lou Hicks, where her niece
is lying at the point of death, much
to the regret of her many friends.
Rock Spring church was visited
on Sunday last by quite large
number from different sections of
the country. Quite an interesting
sermon was preached by the Rev
Mr.. Bell. 1t was a day of remem-
brance by all who were present.
After service the members perform
ed that great and glorious com
mandment, "Foot Washing" and
then adjourned to dinner. With
thanks your correspondent accept
ed an invitation to dine with a
friend in the neighborhood. So
pleasantly. was the remaining part
of the day spent at the hospitable
residence of Mr.. j. L. +. that the
sun had almost hid itself behind the
far western hills ere home was men
toned. After bidding the good
host and lady adieu, we mounted
upon our fieeting steeds and home
ward bound, fed DER hill, valley
and plain the distance of seven
miles, and when we reached the
suburbs of our village the sable
shades OF night were fast gathering
DER our mundane sphere. This is
one Renaissance which the storms
of life can never obliterate.
Our handsome, entertaining and
accomplished young friend. Mr.. w
whom we remember with pleasure.
who was appointed by the commu-
nifty as principal of our free school
at Hebron last year, visited our
burg not long since, much to the de
light of -. His bright smiles
and social qualities render him
welcome visitor in our city. Wei

Our pastor, Brother Weakley,
preached to quite an interesting
congregation on Sunday last at He.
bron. He is said to be the best
scientific pastor of his age that has
ever been stationed here since the
war. He seems to gain the affec-
ton of everybody. Old and young,
big and little, speak the same of
him. Our never failing Presiding
Elder, Brother Wellborn Mooney,

South Side Public Square,
Pearcy's Old Stand,

The price of wheat has gone down
almost to the old figures. The war
fever has cooled down. The appa-
rent probability is that the war will
last for months yet The armies of
either side are slow and ineffective.
The Turks failed to use their supe-
rior navy when they could do so to
advantage, and the Russians do not
push the advantages they have
gained on land. There has not
been a decisive stroke made yet.
They seem to be awaiting some for
eign interference that will settle the
matter, and, in our opinion, if there
is no foreign mediation, which we
think extremely improbable, the war
will drag along for months. TAX
ing in the whole situation, we be-
Iieve the chances for settled rise in
wheat are good, and that the farmer
can safely count on better prices
than now offered. There is no
doubt but that wheat spectators
North manufacture war reports to
control prices.

Heralded by the non-appearance
of MaXima and Phil Anthropy in
quite a number of issues of the
CITIZEN, I'll endeavor in a salebrous
manner, to give you all the news
of this immediate vicinity, and all
that is untold will be the conse
quence of my ignorance and not any
bad intention whatever.
Preachers and farmers are dill
gently praying for rain. Cotton is
dying for the want of it and from
the effects of the cool nights which
we have been having now for some
time. Corn, too, seems to be under
the impression that "life is but an
empty dream" Wheat Is doing
splendidly, and is rapidly growing
ready for the reaper. Mr.. Richard
Baugh was in town a few days ago
Boosting that he would begin har
vesting Monday, which is to-day.
Mr.. j. d. Baugh and his amiable
and intelligent lady are visiting Mr..
JOS relatives at this place. 10 was
very much embarrassed yesterday
by advice administered to him by
little kinsman of his in the presence
of quite an assemblage of ladies'
and gentlemen. He advised him to
return home ,nd take his wife with
him, that all the young men in Elk
ton had fallen in love with her "a
word TO the wise is sufficient"
A party of our young men and
ladies spent the day at Elkmont
Springs Saturday. They dout tless
had a pleasant time; if not, whose
fault but theirs? for to say nothing
of the many attractions the Springs
possess, the proprietors employ
every effort in their power to aug
ment and facilitate the pleasure and
comfort Of its visitors.
A dance was given at Mr.. Ed.
Griggsby's Friday evening, LIST. /
am told a large number was in at
tendance, consequently We have
every reason to suppose that with
the music of Brooks Naples most
excellent band, the fantastic toe
was tipped to the satisfaction of all.
DR.. Glaze is bearing his late adj
versity remarkably well. He iscer-
tainly a man of unremittiag cour
age, superior professional qualifica
tions, and a perfect gentleman.
The charming Miss Lizzie Mason
of Prospect has been in this vicinity
for the lass few days. She drove
all the boys from the field of labor
into their Sunday clothes and with
her winning ways and tewirching
smiles she is playing havoc with
hearts. I>wish she would promise
some of the boys to maki her stay
lasting, for she woRld be q bright
star in any heighborhood. Mr. A.
L. Baugh was also with rs yester-
day. Wonder if he reached Pulaski
safe with his screech owl. 1 am
proud TO say, and doubtless the
friends Of DR.. Bowers viii be glad
to hear, shat he is convaleseing
Drs Grant and Alternately are un-
doubtedly physicians of extraordi-
nary skill. He was snatched, we
will say, almost from within the
letters OF death.

sheep shearing.

A three-year-old ram was sheared
OF twenty pounds OF wool on the
farm of Robert .Rodes at Wales
Station, Giles county, on Saturday.
Five one-year old lambs were shear
ed Of from nine 10 eleven pounds
each. State Commissioner Kille-
brew was present. and brought a
specimen Of the 6ool 70 the city
with him and showed it to q reporter
Of the Banner this morning. IL is
a fine a specimen Of wool as can be
raised in any State in the Union.
The farmers of Tennessee should
turn their attention to the produc-
ton Of wool, and raise lambs for
the Northern markets. Lambs
reared IN Sumner county brought
recently six cents per pound. Mr..
Rodes has a flock Of four hundred
sheep, and has farm is one Of the
most magnificent IL the State. He
has an abundance OF grass, and
could easily raise 1000 sheep on the
same land.-BdnNer.

Things are exceedingly quiet
here, so much so that it takes at
least one half our number TO keep
the other awake. The patent right
agents kept things lively here awhile
but they will have to get up pat
ent to make Bank Bills if they create
any excitement this dry season. In
this connection we will mention
that citizen of our town, Mr.. j. c..
Horton, has invented a wheel to run
10y water that we think will be a
great improvement in that way. 1t
is very simple and will cost but a
triflle. Some Of our moneyed men
might profit by taking an interest
in it.
Next Friday is the appointed
time for the citizens of our District
to hold a meeting for the purpose
Of taking steps toward building a
school House and Church at this
place. We sincerely hope al good
citizens Of the District who feel
any interest at all will be present,
and help us al they can in this
glorious cause. We have already a
first class school near this place
under the supervision of Prof. T..
w. Holt, whose reputation as a
teacher is well known throughout
the country, and with this advant-
rye, together with the advantage of
2 saw mills to get the lumber, we
should not let this opportunity slip.
Corn and cotton are both back
ward owing to the wet weather 10
the planting season and the dry
weather since that time. Wheat is
promising, though it will fall short
of last years crop. Mr.. Killer Jr.

ed the name of Bellvile. We would
like for him to give us its precise
location, the number OF inhabitants
aud how they stand ON the Galoon

Aspen Hill.

Although it has been some time
since | have given you any items
from this place, l have not much OF
interest to relate. 1t is very dry in
this section, it being about four
weeks since it rained. Corn seems
to be growing where the land has
been stirred, but in low lands farm
ers are complaining of it dying.
Wheat looks well, and our farmers
are expecting a good yield and fair
price. Cotton is not much, and
farmers are speaking OF bad stands.
| do hope that they will finally see
no money in raising the plant in
this State and turn their attention
to raising stock, grain and grasses,
and enrich their lands and live at
home. Mr.. John Pruett, Of Ala
bama, formerly of this place, is Wis
iting his friends and relatives here.
He has been making his home late
ly at the Muscle Shoals on Tennes-
nessee River, where he was boss of
the second division of laborers, and
says it will take at the present rate
at least five years to complete the
entire work, and that Congress will
have to put forth her hand again
with large bills TO foot the expenses.
Mr.. j. 5. Jones OF this village has
the best thresher In the State, and
says that he can fan out one thou
sand bushels per day, and our farm
ers are resting easy about their
wheat being threshed. Our clever
agent j. Nj. d. has had his head
shaved, and it looks like a green
gourd with frost on it. G. d. But
Ter and r. b. Causby have turned
out their mustaches, and you would
hardly know them. The south
bound freight train, l learn, on
Monday last ran over a fine mare
on this road and cut of her hind
legs about hall way up. After the
train passed the animal got up and
walked off a short distance and fell
dead. She belonged to Mr.. Andrew
Knight.
Mr.. Gillum Harwell is one of the
best farmers in this county, and has
the finest garden of the season. He
can't be beat on peas. He sticks
them with fishing poles, and they
run to the top, and he gathers them
with ladders. 1t is cloudy in the
west, and l hope by the next writ
ing we will have plenty of rain, and
the farmers hearts will be made
glad and all will be well. LEO.
