WASHINGTON, D. c., JUNE 9, 1878.
G. ". Arnistead, ESD;
l received your telegram day er
two ago and up to the present moment
had resolved to attend the Commence
ment exercises of Col. Becton's school
on the 18th, but I am now confronted
by such state of facts in respect to
the business before Congress and my
duties here as would render it discred-
liable in me as public representa-
tive Is leave here before the adjourn
ment. So many are gone now that
there is scarcely a quorum left, so that
I feel compelled to remain. 1 have
written to Col. Bect6n formal letter
explaining the reasons why l cannot
come. Won't you do me the kindness
to publish it IN your paper in order
that my friends may know the cause
of my absence. 1 have written to
many of them to meet me at Grand
Junction on the 18th, and fear they
will be disappointed at my not COM
ing. Very truly your friend,
CASEY YOUNG.

BOLIVAR, TENN, June 9Th, 1878.
Murphys at POcahOntas.

BOLIVAR, Tenn, June 9th, 1878.
Murphys at POcahOntas.
Messrs Editors:
Professional business called me
yesterday to the thriving town of PO-
cahontas. By 9 o'clock a. m. I found
myself billed for a Murphy speech at
the Christian church at night. Owing
to the fact, that but few people visited
the town during the day, the people
of the surrounding country were not
apprised of the speaking. By 8
o'clock P. M. the commodious church
was filed by large and appreciative
audience of the town people. Rarely
have I addressed an audience SO atten-
tive. The people meant business; they
wished to learn what this Murphy
movement was, and what it proposed
to accomplish, and if satisfied, to man
ifest their appreciation by joining its
ranks, I knew the audience and the
task before me.
The meeting was opened by singing
and prayer by Mr.. Reuben Bass, after
which 1 addressed the audience fol-
near two hours, and had the satisfae.
ton of seeing about seventy persons
subsequently sign the pledge, many
of whom belonged to the ''Old Guard, >
and drank their whisky straight.
About the close of the meeting, Mrs.
Lizzie Wooster, presided at the organ,
and assisted by an able choir, added
mush to its interest. For hospitali
ties and kind attentions, I am indebt
ed to the Messrs; Rosson, Mr.. R. Bass
Capt. Joyner, Mr.. James Wooster
and others. The people are alive il
this cause and intend business on Sat
urday next. The people of thu
town say that for once, Middleton
wont acknowledge Pocahontas j
ahead. Respectfully,
D. G. Day.

An Astonishing FRct.

A large proportion OF the American Peo-
pie are to-day dying from the effects of
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
OF these diseases upon the masses of in
telligent and valuable people is most alarm
ing, making life actually a burden instead
of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and
usefulness as it ought to be. There is no
good reason for this if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad-
vice of your Druggists and your friends,
and try one bottle of Green's August Flower.
Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfactory re-
suits in every case. You can buy sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses will
relieve the worst case. Positively sold by
all Druggists on the Western Continent.

We see in the Bulletin letters from vari-
Gus parts of the country, but do not see any
from Clover Port In order that the people
may know that there is such place as Clio
yer Port, we will endeavor to tell them
where it is and what kind Of 4 place it is, if
a few lines from here can find room in your
valuable paper. Clover Port is situated in
the midst of rich and fertile section of
country, lying in the Northeastern corner of
the county, between big Black Creek and
Clover creek, and has the praise of being
the best garden spot of Hardeman county.
The people of this neighborhood are well
aware Of the value of their locality, and are
profting thereby. This community is made
up Of sober, diligent, industrious and well
TODD farmers, each one trying to be more
generous, hospitable and entertaining than
his neighbor; thereby rendering it one of
the most desirable localities that can be
found in the Western part of the State.
Travellers and visitors are always met
with hearty welcome, doors are thrown
open for their reception, and the richest
inequalities are extended to them; all of
which make them feel their inability, at
the hour of parting, to pay sufficient rec
ompense in thanks and we'll wishes in re-
turn for the cordiality of their entertainers.
Our farmers have glowing prospect OF
good crops, and are busily engaged in cult
waiting them to the best advantage. Wheat
crops are short, but are proving to be bet
ter than were expected.
Our little town is not doing much bust
ness now, but some able and energetic par
ties are contemplating carrying on lively
business here next fall and winter, which
we are satisfied, will greatly enhance the
wealth and prosperity of the neighbOrhood
We are not backwoods people allowing
the children to be reared up in total igno
rance either. But we can boast of as fine q
school as any town in the county. Our
school has for its principal, Prof. Futrall, {
man of good moral character; a thorough
graduate, of Understanding in SOCIETY, and o.
great reputation as teacher. The patrons
of the Glover Port academy are and should
ever be proud of having such teacher il
their midst, and should strive to continual
Iy support him with good school, that hi
may remain with them so long as h: see
proper to continue his labors as a teacher
The good people around the academy an
ever ready to accommodate boarders whc
come from distance to their school. w,
feel proud to Recommend to the public
Prof. Futran as a man in whose care nc
one should hesitate to place his child to re
to receive proper training and institution

Messrs. Editors:

Ne1SIs. Eo1tOIs'
have seen no letter from Clover
Port since the close of Prof. Futralrs
school and fearing that the people in
other parts of the county might forget
there was such place, l thought l
would write you a short letter. Since
school has closed and the students
have all left for their different homes
it seems very dull here. If it was not
for the weekly visits of your interest
ing paper we could not get along at
all. Crops are very good through this
section. The health is not so good
here as it has been. There is an cpl
demic going through the county doing
great mischief. So far it has only at
tackled females and cause them to use
their tongues in a fearful manner.
Drs. Anderson and Robinson have
tried every remedy, but all in vain.
They turn their tongues loose against
them; and / will say here that DIR.
Robinson says the only thing he can
think of to give them any relief at
all is for you to publish everything
you can hear of him through the
Bulletin and save his neighbors and
relatives the scandal of so much idle
gossip. We are soon to have a paper
at this place conducted by few of
our strong-minded females. 1t is to be
called the Clover-Port Tattler. We
predict a wide circulation for it.
There was shooting scrape near this
place; will give full particulars when
l write again.

for the past few weeks, until the last
few days. 1t is now quite cool; have
had no rain for more than two weeks.
Although crops look very well, farmers
are laying by early corn, and l believe
all are through harvesting wheat,
which turned out better than was ex-
pected. And, l must add, that we
have the finest garden vegetables [

Christian blessing to that worthy
family. 1 feel that the day of its in

engaged in the good work. Oh, let

the land will cherish temperance as
one of It's greatest votaries. Your an
