q month ago as beng so low wit
y consumption, is still alive, but j
g no better.
We are always pleased to note
new industry, however small tn
beginning. Mr.. j. L. Beavers ha
commeL ced making ak handles ant
he turns out the best article of tn,
, sort, and of the best timber, too
? that l have ever seen. He coulC
sell ten times as many as he is able
to make.
Mr.. H. M. Fleming has bought
this season 1864 bales of cotton
Very little cotton is coming in now
Fifteen hundred bales have beer
shipped from this point up to date
and it ia thought the shipments
will reach 1000 bales this season
against 1,450 last year. j. NJ
Farmer shipped $4,000 bushels OF
cotton seed to Nashville this fall,
and other parties several car loads.
Lynnville is still blocked up with
several hundred big saw logs lying
right in the center of the town.
They have been here ever since last
summer and are in everybody's
way. Why don't the owners move
them?
! Mse.TTried, at Palestine, Oblon
county, Tenn, recently, Mr.. J. Hol
land Thompson, formerly of this
place, to Miss Lula Thompson, for
merly of Maury county. Although
the parties are of the same name
there are no ties of kind.e ed bind
ing them. The groom was raised
here and enjoyed the good will and
friendship of all who knew him.
He is brother of Mr.. H. Z. Thomp-
son, at Craig's, and is now living in
Hickman, Ky.
Miss Bette Martin, one of Prof.
Campbelps graduates, will teach a
private school at Elk Ridge this
spring. She is entirely competent
and her pupils will receive careful
instruction.
Mr.. Fleming shipped a carload of
mules and horses to Wetumpka,
Ala, last week and on Monday last
shipped another car load to DIR.
Johnston at Eufala. The doctor
reports the market brisk. Mr.. w.
R. Grigsby sold car load of mules
TO Mr.. Haynie Rose, of Pulaski,
this week, and o. 8. Smith sold a
car load to some Columbia buyers
at $l07. so per head. Most of these
mules were raised by the parties
selling them and the price received
for them must be set down among
the clear profits of the farm. From
200 to 300 mules have been sold in
this neighborhood this season,
worth at least $4,000.
Mr.. Miles Higdon,- who has
been in a low state of health all
winter, does not improve. He was
first taken with pneumonia.
There is a little Anna Belle at
DR.. Johnston's that will call the
doctor grandpa" and Mr.. 10 Bra
den 'papa," in about two years.
10 hears the arrival with heroic
competency.
Mrs. Rebecca Griffis, aged about
70, had bad fall enc night last
week and it was feared for awhile
that she was fatally injured, but
fortunately this was not the case
and she is now recovering slowly.
| Sol. Philips, a youth of about Is,
ran away and went to Missouri re-
Gently. The other day he wrote
for money to get back on and said
he was much dissatisfied out there.
His poor, widowed mother raised
the money and sent it to him.
Other young men of a rowing turn
might take lesson from him.
Lynnville, although an orderly
place, is determined to have force
sufficient TO enforce her municipal
statutes if an occasion should arise.
For that reason she has elected two
policemen this year instead of one
heretofore. Messrs. Brooks Alex
ander and j. H. Crenshaw were the
gentlemen chosen and both will
make efficient officers.
Mr.. w. G. Carter and wife have
just returned from two weeks, So
journ in Mississippi where they en-
Logged the society and hospitality Of
relatives and friends. Mr.. Carter
says our sloshiest mud hole is a
sandy desert compared to the roads
down there. He saw six good
mules, hitched to an empty two
horse wagon, tackle a mudhole and
it was all they could do to pull the
light vehicle through-they went
up to their knees every step. Wood
was worth from IS to $I4 per cord
in the little towns. Hotels were
burning shade trees and fencing
Carter says for real comfort he had
rather go 10 the north pole in win
ter than Mississippi.
Our friend, Tom Mcmahon, is
one of the lucky McEwen heirs,
who are threatened with a tremen-
dous legacy of sixty-four million
dollars from some old Scotch an
cestor. Where is the family In this
broad land that has not at some
time been thrown into ecstasies
over a fortune left them by some
dear defunct person, of musty mem
DRY, in Europe? But show US one
: that ever got anything.
A. d. oyd lost two valuable
horses recently with epizootic
! This is hard on Mr.. Boyd, who is q
young man just starting in the
world, but he is not one of the sort
to be daunted by misfortune. Mr.
w. II. West lost a good horse in {
peculiar manner during the colo
snap. He had hitched a pair o
horses TO his wagon, which wal
: locked in by the ice, and when th'
! animals made violent effort to pull
it out, one fell and broke his skull
dying almost instantly.
Houston and English shipped
car load of cattle from this plac
!, on the Goth ult. A car load of cat
tie has been shipped from her
nearly every week. for the pas
twelve months, and some week
three or four. Surely nothing bu
the little Jerseys will be left to Civ
us milk after awhile
