DEPOT DOTS.

The shipments of cotton from
this point average rs bales a day.
Two carloads of scrap iron from
Lawrenceburg were shipped north
Monday.
Samuel 6. Rice has been APP
pointed assistant superintendent of
the N. and d. division.
The movement of through
freights, in both directions, contin-
ues to be very heavy.
Trains were supplied with water
from the new tanks at the depot
Tuesday for the first time.
W. Whysons, route agent of the
Union Express Company, was in
town last week looking after the IN
terests of that line.
Over three hundred bales of cot.
ton were at the depot Tuesday.
This would seem to indicate anoth
er rush" of the staple.
The storm Thursday night
played havoc with the telegraph
wires. All trains were delayed, not
being able to obtain orders by wire
A car load of horses and mules
was received here Sunday from Sui
liYan, Indiana, consigned to Mr.. FL.
d. McCrory. The railroad gave q
liberal rate, probably to encourage
other shipments from that part of
the moral vineyard.
A carload of corn was shipped to
Montgomery last week. AS this
was the first of the season, we in
fer that there is no surplus of that
grain in the county. Heretofore,
the shipments have been considera-
BILE at this season of the year.
1t is the intention of the Union
Express Company to establish an
agency at Havana, Cuba, as soon as
the Louisville and Great Southern
commence running line of
steamers from Mobile. This will
be a great convenience, enabling
dealers to order tropical fruits di-
rect, and giving them the advantage
of quick transportation.
While at the depot Tuesday we
were shown through Agent Dunn's
supply of coupon checks" and
we're surprised at the completeness
of his stock. There were over sew
en- hundred forms, reaching all the
principal points north, south, east
aad west, especially to points in
Texas, there being a heavy demand
for emigrant tickets to that state.
Mr.. Dunn has also a large supply oil
the latter for all the principal sta
lions in the west and northwest.
For indurated cheek and down
right effrontery, commend us to the
average tramp. A vagabond Of
this species boarded the caboose of
the south bound freight train at
Lynnville one day last week, while
the train men were forward attend
ing to their duties, and coolly pro
ceeded TO devour the dinner of one
of the brakemen. Mr.. Shannon.
the supervisor, was in the caboose
at the time, but did not suspect
anything wrong, as the tramp APP
peared to be entirely at home and
conversed so glibly about railroad
matters that be thought he was EN-
ployed on the train.
Freight Conductor Jesse Price, Of
the n. and d. division, met with
fatal accident in the South Nash
vile yards Friday last. He stepped
between two cars, while the train
was in motion, for the purpose OF
coupling them, when his foot
caught in the flange of a wheel and
before be could extricate it he was
thrown under the car and dragged q
con siderable distance. His inju-
ries were so serious that he died
the same night. Mr.. Price had just
been promoted from brakeman to
conductor, and his distressing death,
at this point of improvement in his
fortunes, is heartily deplored by
railroad men, with whom he was
very popular.
