January II, 1881.
MR. EDlToR: 1t has been some time
since We have noticed anything in
your paper from Pocahontas. We
feel somewhat enliyencd in our town
at present, Notwithstanding the hard
weather and hard times. Trade seems
to be tolerably brisk; then again, our
school, Phoenix like, has risen out Of
Its own ashes in all its former glory.
Measles and whooping cough, as you
know, interrupted our school during
the fall months. But that having
subsidized, our teacher, Elder D.. w.
Lcath, with his never-failing energies,
announced school next Monday. and
in the children focked like so many
snow birds through mud and snow.
Prof Leath once thought Of locating
at another doint, but he had friends
here who did not wish to give him up,
consequently he'll continue at the in
stitute. Capt Wheeler, another en-
terprising man, is running the steam
mill successfully, and in short time
will have his planning mills up, and
railroad running from the station de-
pot out to the mills. Pocahontas may
yet bloom like a beautiful rose in a
wilderness wild. DR.. Frank Nethery,
n young physician of much promise,
has just returned from Vanderbilt
University, aRd is row taking che
place of his senior brother in prac-
tice, who has gone to Mississippi bot
tom, where he expects to move be-
fore a great while. Indeed, it will be
trial to Pocahontas to have to give
him Up, both as citizen and physi-
clan; in fact the whole surrounding
vicinity viii greatly teel and regret
his loss rs physician. UaA.
GRAND JUNCTION, Tenn, ]
January II, 1881.
Mn EDITOR. We are pleased to see
fhe improvement in Grand Junction.
The hotel is said to be one of the very
best between Memphis and Charleston,
and there are none superior on the St.
Louis, Chicago and New Orleans road.
The house is crowded all the time.
The Hawkins" house is also doing
finely-not a spare room to be had.
The merchants are doing splendidly.
We are to have a first-class drug
store under the control and manage
ment of Mr. John T. Hayse, who is an
educated, practical, experienced drug
gist, formerly of Jackson, Tenn, late
of Somerville, Tenn. He is bringing
on a new and well selected stock of
fresh drugs, so give him call, gen
tlemen, if you wish good bargains.
And young ladies, if you want to see
good looking young lark, call round.
But what next? A paper, sir. The
"Grand Junction Journal" edited
and published by Messrs. Ragland
and Field. of Huntsville, Ala, will
make its politest bow to the literary
circles of the country in a few days.
Three cheers for the "Grand Junction
Journal"
This is not all in the great boom,
which is pressing Grand junction on
ward to splendid success. Prot.
Price, of Bolivar, who is said to be
one of the best educators in the State,
will open his school in this place 4re
first Monday in February next. Our
people are delighted to have him and
family in our midst Send on your
boys and girls, if you want them
properly educated We have one IF
the healthiest locations in the South
ern country. If you want property
here come now, or it will soon be to-
late; there will be no room for you.
We are needing carpenters and work
men of every kind to push forward
the buildings that are to DO put up in
the spring and summer.
FORWARD MARCH
