LynnViIIe Items.

LyHHFlIIe Items,
We regret very much that Lynn
vile does not have a regular cor
respondent, as there are a thousand
things transpiring in this commune
ty as in every other that would be
interesting to the public to know.
We have had a number of marrria
ges, deaths and other incidents
since you have had any report from
here. Lynnville, like the rest of
the world, has felt the wave of pros
perity in the enjoyment of a better
trade than since 1872. Lynnville
is now famous as a cotton market,
much coming here that formerly
went to Columbia and Pulaski.
Twelve or fifteen cotton wagons is
a common thing now to see at one
time, and our merchants are giving
within a fraction of Nashville prices.
Some time ago 100 bales more had
been shipped than was received last
year; 600 shipped to date. This is
a great wheat market. One of our
merchants shipped about 100 cars
this season. He held a lot and
made $1,000 on the late rise in
wheat. This is a great shipping
point for live stock. Scarcely a
day passes but car is loaded with
mules, horses, hogs or cattle. Surely
all this will make money plenty
and times better. But we are of
fered every facility to get clear of
this money. Never was seen such
mammoth stocks of goods in the
old establishments and new ones as
are being opened. Smith and Wag-
staff have brand new stock in a
fine new house, and j. NJ. Farmer is
a new stock in his old
house. Sixty-nine loaded cars were
forwarded from here in Oct, be-
sides any amount of way freight.
Our young friend Richard Comp
ton died Saturday night after
brief illness. He leaves a bereaved
widowed mother for whom this
community feel the deepest sympa-
thy, this being her only son of any
size. She has twice been widowed |
and has lost more near relatives |
in the past few years than any one |
we ever knew. An infant son of j. |
W. Dickerson died the past week.
Esquire Spivey has been afflicted |
.Or a long time with something like |
he cannot recover.
Did Uncle Zophir Compton, one of
,he old pioneers, is very feeble. A
son of w. j. Wilsford happened to
1 very serious accident. They were
Daling cotton at night. BY some
accident the follow block fell,
Roberts foot, and grazing
.wo others. 1t was very providen-
.ial the others escaped.
David Laneave who has so ably
Judge Spof'ord's
for 6 years, will start to
Florida the 18th. He carries a fine
OF of stock and wagons. Those
Who have seen it say he has the
pest outfit ever seen in this coun-
ry, We regret his going. A num-
Der of our young men go with him.
This too we regret, but hope they
nay do well in the land of flowers.
Il is said Judge S. had $50 applica-
ions for Mr.. LIS position, all of
whom he declined and employed Mr..
Ross, one who had not been thought
If, for the position. We think he
made a good choice.
Several thousand fruit trees are
It the depot from the Rosebank
Nursery for distribution to-day. If :
IL the trees that have been sold {
Iere since the war were bearing, it I
ooks like all might live on fruit. |
But not so, there is no fruit here to ,
re had for love or money. When t
7ili we have a good fruit year? {
;orn is very light; some have sold /
heir hogs and will buy again to ,
eep them from eating up all their {
orn. Big wheat crop being sown. {
,otton crop is fine. If
Friends of DR.. johnson are get {
ing somewhat uneasy. He went 6
orth with a carload OF fine stock c
nd has not been heard from in {
our weeks. Presbyterians held a O
cries of meetings. They had a )
lumber of converts, and the luke c
arm revived. Yesterday was sac i
lmental meeting, but on on &C g
cunt OF the inclemency of the 7
Gather, the congregation was I
mall. Our young friend, Tom Err !
in, has just returned from Texss ]
ftc- a twelve months visit. He !
ives a gloomy account of Texas e
nd our boys out there; says they a
Il come back if they could, nearly. 1
