dashing raids by train and bank plunderers,

Nashville Sunday and took his seat

feeble when he left. not having fully
recovered from the effects of his re-
cent dangerous illness, and nothing
short of a sense OF public duty would
have induced him to make the

to public affairs since his election,
and the policy he will probably pur-
sue has occasioned considerable
conjecture. His course will be
watched with absorbing interest, es-
pecially as his vote may determine
the fate Of the democratic party in
Tennessee for the next two years.

thought about the subject that

the readers of the CITIZEN last
week, viz: planting the black To-
Gust on our worn out lands, and
have often wondered why people
in many portions OF our county,
who are almost destitute of timber,
haven't been planting the locust OF
some other valuable growth. An
other wonder to my mind is that
our people do not SOW more of theiI
lands in grass. There are thou
sands of acres of fertile land il

TO cultivate, that would grow or
chard. blue, herds, timothy, clover

our stock in the pastures for yea
or two; SOW all the rough land out
side in grass; buy more bloodet
sheep and cattle; kill three fourth

working or pike-building system b

A HEAVY FAILURE.
Rosenau & Loveman Make an
Assignment for the Benefit
Of Their CreditorsATheir
Liabilities Over
$4,000.

Nearly everybody in Pulaski was
surprised, we believe, to learn on
Saturday last that Rosenau d Love
man, the well-known dry-goods
merchants, on the south-sids OF the
square, had made an assignment to
Capt. John S. Wilkes for the benefit
Of their creditors and that their liza
bilities amounted to over $40,0 900.
This firm has enjoyed an. enviable
reputation in mercantile circles
and it was thought by many that
they were doing lucrative bust
ness. 1t seems, though, that they
were seriously crippled by certain
cotton transactions a few years
ago, having lost $4,000 in one
year, and that they have been una
BILE to recover from the effects of
these losses, Notwithstanding many
heroic efforts to do so. A careful
investigation Of their affairs con-
vinced them that the wisest course
they could pursue would be to dis
continue business and place their
assets in the hands of trustee for
the benefit of their creditors. In
the deed of trust they convey all OF
their goods, wares aud merchandise,
store fixtures and furniture, notes,
bills and accounts, including, also,
Mr.. Rosenau's dwelling no use on LIST
Main street (subject, however TO
the homestead exemption of 81 600.
and all OF Mr.. Loveman's house
hold and kitchen furniture, which is
transferred without any reserve
whatever. The interests of theil
home creditors were fret cared for
and all of these have either been
paid or fully protected. The stock

property will be disposed of a. pri

completed it will be impossible tc

sets of the firm, although they are
stated nominally at $4,000. 1t il
