from Wclumpka, Ala, where he
sold a carload of mules and horses
for Fleming.
Buford Gordon, so long connect
ed with Jennings house, and whom
every one likes, has been having
chills, involving his health to such
an extent as to tUrce him to re-
tire from business.
The Englishes and Houstons
shipped last week to Louisville
three cars of beeves and oDe of
hogs.
l might report another car load
of negroes shipped to Arkansas
Wednesday night. People are be-
coming justly exasperated at these
fellows and somebody may Get hurt
yet.
Three good-looking young men
from Ohio got off Thursday. One
wished to buy land and the others
to hire. We welcome such men.
They went on to Fulton S. Whites,
and if they are pleased, will doubt
less be followed by others.
John Wilkes has just returned
from Arkansas. He gives gloomy
account of that Promised Land"
He was gone five months and says
he lived near a country grave yard,
where from three to five persons
were buried daily. The ground had
been used only three or four years,
and yet it contained three times as
many graves as our Elk Ridge
grave yard that has been used since
1908. His nearest neighbor made
eight bales of cotton last year and
" hen he left he was splitting rails
for bread ana meat to eat. The
wells have lice in them all winter.
He thinks he escaped by the skin
of his teeth. Giles countians should
assemble their neighbOrhoOd ne
groes and read this to them.
The pike is materializlng. The
charter and right of way granted in
1872 is revived. Something like
$1,000 was made up in Lynnville
tor the Cornersville pike, with a
promise to double, if necessary. Ii
Lynnviile had doubled at once, /
think the pike ould have been as
sured. The up Robinson and Cor
nersvllle people are iD dead earnest
aud If it fails now it need never be
hroached AGAIN. The condition OF
the road is an argument IN its vor
that no eluquence can controverI.
Ii q strong pull is now made by
Lynnvllle il will secure this road,
indispensable TO her prosperity.
Good business men say tast stock
IN this pike will pay 10 per cent.
Then it is a paying Investment be-
sides the trade it will bring us, the
enhancement of our property and
the pleasures of good road.

ran down the line as the dread mo

and find a poor dog with as much
sense as a legislator caught in
steel trap set for a mink. Col. Ross
had the trap demolished.
