Never in its history has there been
a more favorable outlook for the ex>

iness men of Nashville have walked up
to the Importance of the trade to be
reached by the completion Of the road
to this rich section of country, and the
Nashville, Chattanooga q St. Louis
line, which has the best interest of
Nashville at heart, stands ready and
willing to do its part in finishing the
work already commenced. The fifteen
thousand bales of cotton which this
section will this season put on the
market is desideratum the merchants
of Nashville are not inclined to disre-
gard. With the Memphis market
closed for nearly the entire season, our
cotton and cereals must and will seek
a market, and why Nashville should
no reach out and by the asking for, re-
ceive it, is question they will serious
ly consider. The Nashville, Chatta-

road whenever a sufficient amount of
money is secured to put the road bed
in proper condition. VIII the business

TENNESSEE CENTRAL II. II.
A Sound Letter From Wide
Awake Milan Man on
the Situation.
To the Nashville American /,


MILAN, Aug. "a, 1S79.-Your ed
itorial of yesterday was to the point,
and should stir up the business men Of
your city TO the Importance of taking
some steps toward securing the trade
of upper West Tennessee, and more
particularly that of Gibson, Crockett,
Lauderdale and the west of Carroll
counties. Our cotton crop is admit
ted to be the finest for fifteen years
past. 1t is boiled from the bottom to
the top, and from this point alone
will be shipped this season fully sixty
FIVE hundred or seventy>fve hundred
bales. Our corn crop is the finest ev-
er raised in West Tennessee, and the
crops of peas are simply enormous.
Carroll and Gibson counties look like
vast pea fed. Our hog crop is I'M
mense, the woods being full of the
finest kind Of porkers. In fact, in
telligent farmers from all portions of
our country say that their crops of ev-
cry kind are better by third than
was ever known before.
We all feel like we are just about
starting upon an era Of renewed pros
perity, and | have a few plain ques-
tions to ask the business men of Nash
vile.
The Memphis market is closed for
the season; so il that of New Or
leans. Our only outlet is Louisville,
Cincinnati and st. Louis. Our cot
ton, corn, peas, bacon, wheat and
surplus grass crops are and will con-
tinue to seek outlet in the cities north
of US simply because the Capital of
the State will not reach out its helps
ing hand-will not help Us to get to
it with our surplus.
Why is it not an aim of the bUsi-
ness man to reach out for this trade ?
Isnot the $4,000 bales ofcotton which
viii be gathered from West Carroll
and Gibson counties as much an item
to Nashville men as q ike number from
North AIaban,a or Georgia. Would
not the profit to the Nashville mer-
chants and the Nashville q Chatta-
nooga Company on this years crop
pay for the construction to Milan and
Trenton Of the Tennessee Central Rail
road ? In one month from to-day the
road could be completed to this place
and the enormous crops of this section
he poured into the lap Of Nashville.
What steps are being taken to do
this? Why are the unused funds
the idle capital i'll your banks and
employed in drawing trade
to your city? Did any trade ever 90
to your city unsought, unasked? VIII
the merchants and public-spirited
men of Nashville allow our trade to
enrich Northern cities because we
have no outlet, no direct connection
with Nashville?
The profits of the n. & G. Railroad |
from one seasons carrying would finish |
this road. What is done should be
lone quickly. Let US hear from the |
business men and the N. IL c. mag
mates. BLACK JACK.

The Lottery Ass.
Puck.

1t is unpleasant for a man who has
regard for his own compatriots to be
obliged to write down any considera-
bic portion of them as asses; but that
does seem to be forced upon the OBJ
servers of the daily newspapers-he
who notices the very great prosperity
of the lotteries which are periodically
drawn in certain Southern and Wes-
tern States.
The extremely gorgeous offices and
the more than gorgeously attired clerks
cashiers and funkies generally; to-
gether with the very expensive COL
umns of advertising in all TIE great
journals are proof that the genus ass
among us is greater than one would
believe from studying the physiogno-
mics of the passers by in any of our
thoroughfares.
Some years ago one of our esteemed
contemporaries used to publish under
the captain f'The Fool Fishers certain
experience OF parties who purchased
boxes of saw dust, cheap, flncy;ng
they were purchasing counterfeit mon
ey. But even then, our contemporary
could only fish up about two Fools
month.
But who draw the prizes? Any
dear donkey will tell you. 1t is ad-
vertised in the great dailies, alongside
of all the nasty patent medicines.
Ministers without churches and I'M
known to any classes or diocese; prin>
ters fsome unknown country journal;
and Mrs. Mack, poor widow of o.
552 Chambers street, Boston, (Which
number existed not) gi7e their certif-
Gates that they drew $4,000 SIS, 900,
$4,000, as the case may be. But did
you, reader, ever draw, or personally
know anybody who ever did draw
big prize? If so you are one among a
million; and if so (again) please inves.
tlgate, and aacertain if the fortunate
prize winner is not a sister or cousin
or an aunt of the people who run the
lottery.
But still the donkeys rush on to
dump their dollars into the lottery
NAV; the home and the honest indus
tries of the country suffer; rich thieves
become richer and poor workers poor
er; and when, once in while man
who has beeen investing his monthly
dollar for years happens to draw a
ten dollar prize, he rejoices-all his
friends rejoice-the honesty of the lot
cry man is proved,
And many more donkeys invest
many more dollars.

several miles on horseback during the

of many good qualities of mind and
heart and his death will be deeply
deplored by those who knew him best.

More than Two Bales TO the
Acre.

Aberdeen Miss Examiner: Sever
al times during the last four years we
have taken occasion to call attention
to the new process of cotton planting
so successfully pursued by Mr.. j. j.
Crump, of this county. The result Of
this process was 1879 pounds ofginned
cotton to the acre in 1877, 1000
pounds in 1878, and this season the
prospects are good for the heaviest
yield he has ever had. For the benefit
of our readers and exchanges we will
again give Mr.. Crump's formula:
He prepares his land in December by
digging holes three feet from each 9th
er, each eighteen inches square and
eighteen inches deep; these holes he
fills with manure to within four inches
of tho top, and the remainder Of the
way with the top soil. At the usual
season he plants with view to having
three stalks to the hill, and piles the
clay from the bottom of the pits as deep
over their tops as the supply will ad-
nit of, with view to keeping down
the grass, and then cultivate with
hand and hoe, never allowing a plow
to be used. The preparation is made
in December in order to subdue the
fiery qualities of the fertilizer, and the
holes when prepared will make at least
three crops without changing their
contents-the second crop generally
being the best and the first and third
about the same.-This plan has gotten
beyond the sphere of experiment, and
there is no longer necessity for a man
to scrape over dozen acres when he
can obtain more cotton and better
cotton b. cultivatingtwo or three acres
by Mr.. Crump's process.

We call the attention of our cotton
planters t.. the necessity of taking
pains in wrapping their cotton in a
neat and tidy manner. By so doing
they will add considerably to its ap-
pearance and also enhance its value.
1t is also importantthat farmers should
be particular as to what class or kind
ofbagging they buy, as there is a cheap
kind of nnrotted fax bagging that
greatly stains the cotton and thereby
impairs its sale. In fact we see that
the National Cotton Exchange has
published circular calling attention
to this inferior class of bagging, con-
demning cotton wrapped Herewith as
understandable. We therefore sug-
gest care in the purchase of bagging.

General .JOilu f. Wheless.

| CoMNussARY DEPARTMENT, NASH
VILE, Aug. %, 1S79.-Having beer
charged with the duties of Commissa
ry General, under the appointment
of his excellency, Gov. Marks, l de
sire to organize the department a:

affording the relief contemplated fl
his proclamation, and, in the accom-
plishment of that object, respectfully
request the assistance of the people
generally, and especially the charita-
bic associations in the State, and earn.
estly suggest that prompt and cordial
cooperation is necessary to relieve
present wants and prevent great dis
tress and suffering in the near future.
Therefore every city, town, village
and community in the State is solici.
ted to put in use the organization
they now have, or perfect such other
as will at once collect and deliver to
the railroads the supplies ready to
be contributed by a humane and gen.
erous people.
To secure, without confusion or
loss, the speedy movement of contri-
butions,it will be necessary that there
should be some one atevery point auth
orized to receive, receipt and ship the
supplies, and that these appointments
may be wisely and quickly made the
citizens of each place are requested
to select and forward the names of
such suitable person, or firm, as will
undertake the discharge of that duty,
and the person, or firm so recommend
ed will be duly authorized by this
department to act in that position,
except in cases where appointments
have already been made. As the
demands of the situation are urgent,
and delay will paralyze and defeat our
best efforts, it is Of the greatest inn
portance that every one receiving an
appointment should instantly and
earnestly begin the discharge Of its
duties.
Suffering humanity is appealing to
you for help, and public benefaction
should be equa. to the emergencies of
human calamity.
Let our open>handed, generous
hearted people respond nobly and a
merciful and approving Providence
will reward them abundantly.
Let all give as liberally as they
can, but none should hesitate because
their contributions may be small.
