To invoice two stocks of goods and

Mr.. Jesse NeilI returned Satnrday

Mr. Jesse Neill returned Saturday
night from protracted trip through
Illinois and Indiana where he has
been buying wheat for the Eufala
Gala. Mills. He reports an album
dance of the cereal III those states
and says it was nothing unusual to
run upon a man who had fifty or
seventy-five thousand bushels to
sell. Mr.. Neil, during his stay,
bought about $4,000 bushels.
Somebody asked how he liked the
soil IN that part of the country.
He replied that he only saw a patch
about as big as his hand and he
had to dig through a snow drift to
get at that; but as far as the sam
pie went he thought it was finely
adapted TO the production of frost
bitten heels. Mr.. Neill spent sew
eral days in St. Louis and while
there met Mr.. j. B. Stacy, jr., who
is filing satisfactorily a lucrative
clerical position and otherwise do
ing remarkably well. He is quite
popular in business circles and ap
pears to be in fine health and spir-
its.

Messrs. Mcdowell, who run a
saw mill near MN. Burns mil, will
finish up the poplar timber in that
vicinity and then move down
on Bradshaw near the post village.
Since saw mills were introduced in
that neighborhood white cottages
are the rage. The Triggsboro sec
tioh exceeds any other portion Of
the county in erecting mise res
licences, churches, school houses,
etc. That portion of the county is
hard to beat. Most of the citizens
are landholders, out of debt, great
stock raisers. Industrious, and a-e
rapidly striding to prosperity.
They are planting a fair acreage OF
wheat. Such work, industry and
frugaliUy, if universal, would make
this county a land of Goshen.

Since DR.. Leftwich has resided
in Pulaski he has received quite a
number of asttering ''calls" to first
class churches in some of our larg-
er cities. Even since the late ses-
sion of the Tennessee Conference
here, he has been offered the pull
pits of three such churches, with
tempting salaries. We happened
to see a letter in which he was of
fered a salary of not less than
$4,000 a year, with an elegant par
sonage free, and travelling expenses,
to take charge Of the Oldest and
wealthiest church in one of the
largest and haudsomest of our
southern cities. 1t is no small
compliment to Pulaski that he pre-
fers to remain here and forego the
superior and professional advanta-
ges to be derived from an accep-
lance of any one of these offers.
His attachment to his present con-
gregation has induced him TO make
sacrifices, which they, as members
of his flock, ought to, and doubt
less do, appreciate

She aroused her husband who

there was no serious cause ior

Mr.. j. NJ. Hardeman, oVerseer of
the Chicken creek road, desires us
to warn the public Of a dangerous
place in that thoroughfare immedi-
ately in front of the old Grandson
Pittard place, miles southwest of
Pulaski. 1t seems that a sort of
cave runs under the road at that
point, and the other day a negro
man riding q mule broke through
and fell into a chamber twelve feet
deep and ten feet wide. Mr.. Har-
deman and some neighbors man
aged by hard work to extricate the
darkey and the mule and then re
paired the road as best they could;
but a day or two later it caved in
again. 1t seems that the direction
Of the road was changed some time
ago on account of cave having
been discovered beneath, which
caused a similar accident, and it is
now thought that the two connect.
Mr.. Hardeman hasn't the means at
his disposal to make the extensive
repairs needed and it would be well
enough for the county court to give
the matter some attention.

Y. NJ. G. A. Book Reception.

made for the entertainment of
those who attend the Book Recep-

The committees of ladies and gen.
tlemen are providing music, ETC.,
for the entertainment of the guests,
and the list of donations to the Ia
BILE indicates that magnificent
supper will be spread. The ladies
have responded literally to the
calls for contributions of all kinds
of dainties and substantials. There
will doubtless be a universal turn
out OF the people. if. the weather
permits, and that they will be right
royalty entertained is absolutely
certain. Nothing is to be sold and
no person need to have a cent of
money with him. This is a depar-
ture in this character of entertain
ments that will strike everybody
favorably-especially the young
men, who are sometimes induced to
spend a months wages on a fifty
cent lake. The charge at the
door will be book, or as many
books as person sees proper to
give. If it is not convenient to
bring your books, just write their
titles with your name upon a slip
of paper and hand it to the door
keeper and theAssociation will send
to your residence for them. 1t is
thought and hoped that this will
add a thousand or more volumes
to the library. Bring good books.
They will be worthily bestowed.
But do not stay away because your
books are not very fine. Come with
whatever you have.
