blast we must do our city the jus
tice to call it by its original name;
not because we have an aversion to
Long Branch, but because it is bet
ter known by that peculiar appella
ton. Mr.. John Clark, formerly OF
Campbelisville is our store keeper,
and being apparently man of en-
ergy and business tact, it is reason
able TO suppose that he will build
up good trade. AS he deals in
barter to a great extent he will
be of great advantage TO those of our
people who are accustomed to pro.
ducing such articles and stand in
need of market to which they can
have access without having to tray
Ell new roaos cut out under the old
ones A Post Office would add to
his interest, as well as being bene-
fetal to the community at large,
and we hope that the enterprise
will be set on foot and be carried
to a successful issue at an early
date. The press generally would be
benefited by it, the CITIZEN espec-
tally, as it is about four miles to
any Post Office, and Of course it op-
crates hardship upon those who
are in the habit Of getting mail.
Our farmers have commenced
turning their stubble lands, clearing
up new grounds, cleaning out fen
ces and bitches, and doing other
work preparatory to pitching a
crop, They are working with q
vim when the weather is favorable.
Experiments are being made that
will tend to the development of a
better system of farming in this
section, no doubt. L am glad to
see a spirit of improvement mani
testing itself in our neighborhood;
it shows that we are trying to keep
pace with the times. Under the
stringency of the times and the
present Improbable system of la
Dor, our farmers are gradually com
ing from under the tyrannical yoke
of King Cotton, and are slowly con-
verting their farms into wheat and
corn fields; and instead of sappicg
the substance of the soil they are
enriching it. Wheat is looking
well in this section and promises a
large yield; especially that which
was sown early and put in well.
There is q greater area sown this
year than usual. We hope the peo-

year, live cheap, and be able to IL
quidate all their debts. We ought
not to stamp the stigma of repudia
ton upon ourselves as individuals,
flour State does become a reproach
among the nations of the earth. A
debt accommodating an interest at
the rates of four thousand dollars a
day will mean Reputation after a
while, The crash will come and
great it will be. Then Tennessee
will lose her exalted position among
the States and her rump legislature
will blush with shame at the evil
they have wrought. She will never
he able to even scramble herself out
Of the dust hole of degradation into
which she will be plunged. 1t
seems To me that a man favoring re-
pudiation would not be too honest
to favor any scheme that would re
lease him from his own debts
Sink or swim, | am in for paying
the debt ana maintaining the integ-
rity of the State at all hazards.
PERSONAL.
Mr.. j. p. Woodland returned
q few days ago from trip TO
the South with a drove of mules.
He reports q successful trip. BY
the way he is going ahead with his
new residence, and when it is com
pleted it will be by far the finest
house on Dry Greek and IN the lat
est style. Miss Mollie Puryear,
one of Vale Mills most bewitching
young ladies, was visiting relatives
in our neighborhood last week.
We give q. cordial welcome to such
visitors. They remind your bach
elor correspondent of his PALMER
days. Miss Adnie Alternately, one
Of Big Creeks pleasantest young
ladies', spent a few days with Miss
Mollie Puryear last week. Mr.. Gill
one of Wales Stations
young men, was in our
town the other day, looking as
sweet as a jug GLASSES with a corn
cob stopper, Taking "roundance"
won't enable you to eyade a vigilant
eye, Gill. Messrs. j. Parker and
10. Braden, two of Pulaski's rising
Dung bloOds, were in our village a
-ew days ago, the one on legal bust
ness, the other on an electioneering
