Giles will take the lead in cotton
as she does in almost everythin
else, except roads. COMMISSIONS
Killebrew, in his report for July
says: SIN Middle Tennessee l
out of 81 counties reporting, plac
the cotton crop at an average O
IO1, the highest being Giles, lis
the lowest being Marshall, u.s."
We are especially anxious t.
publish religious intelligence of ;
local character. Pastors of churches
of all christian denominations, ant
itinerant ministers are earnestly
requested to furnish us regularly
list of their appointments, especi
ally on Sunday, or with any othe
information connected with thei
work that may be of interest to tn,
public.
The outlook for cotton is en-
couraging everyway. The crops
of the southern states for 1875
and 1879 were the largest evel
grown, but the crop of 1880 promi-
ses to be larger than either, and
the general demand seems to grow
more rapidly than does the volume
of supplies. In consequence, the
crop will be consumed at peyine
prices.
Are farmers paying enough at
tention TO drying apples and
peaches? The fruit crop is gener-
ally very good this year and if one
has any on hand all it costs is the
labor TO dry it. Next year there
may be failure of fruit, and il is
well to have a good supply on hand.
Dried fruit is an excellent thing to
have for the table. 1t is good,
healthy fGOd.
BY reference to list of appoint
ments published in to days CITIZEN,

forlorn hope, but that is no reason
why he should be denied hearing
Lend him your ears, fellow citizens
Mr.. j. II. Cannon will leave for
the great shoe centers of the east
in a short time to buy his fall
stock. In the meantime, he will
close out his present stock at re-
duced figures to make room for
the new. If our country friends
want bargains in boots and shoes
they would dc well to give him an
early call. Remember the place
southwest corner of the public
square.

The young people threaded the
mazes of the dance at the hospita
BILE residence of Mr.. Mel Patterson
Thursday night, and wooed Terp

the diminutive hours admonished
them to depart. The hop, which
was exhilaratlng and joyous, was

We are quite sure the verdict of the
people will be: Let Judge
Hughes, of Columbia, remain
where he il"
