MR. EDITOR: Everybody is at
work; some gathering the crops mace
last year, and others preparing to
make one to gather next.
We have our proportional part of
sickness. Ensley Harris has been
dangerously sick for several weeks
past, but is now cOnvalescent.
We have good school, of which
Robert McNall is principal.
Our mill, owned by Mays & Hal
tom, puffs early and late. They saw,
grind corn, and have a cotton gin at
tached. They are enterprising men,
and their mill is great help to the
community. ....s--
Our cooperative store does a fair
business, with Ed Harris behind the
counters.
w. d. Ross is here with his photo
tent; makes things lively, everybody
having their pictures taken. W.
J. says he would have his taken, but
is afraid he would tear up the factory
A hyena has been doing all kinds
of mischief in McNairy, and some PEG
pie in this county have been fright
ened by him. George Haltom says he
is the one that escaped from Prof
TeaPs sight-of-hand show in 1878
He made his appearance in this vicin
ity yesterday, and killed and ate 6
whole family one mile east of here
came on and snatched Geo. Halton
out of his door, biting him badly; i
met Esquire Suggs on his way to SEE
his girl, pulled him off his horse, ant
dragged him down the road about tive
hundred yards; rs it passed, Ed. Har
ris made grab at it, had his overcoa
torn off, and then jumped over in Mr.
Buffers lot, leaving the squire in
dying condition. 1t killed all tn,
mules on the place, and the last tim,
I saw the hyena he was going dow
through the woods with one of Squir
Jim Lowry's oxen in his mouth.

and, therefore, Of the publishing en-
terprise Of the nation. This building,
though SIX stories in height, 25 feet

tory to be erected.
Their list of recent and early forth
coming publications are extremely in
teresting to all who enjoy what is
choicest in literature. The Library
Magazine is unique i'll both form and
character and altogether delightful in
the richness of its contents. OF the
books announced, Green's larger
History of the English People" re-
duced from SO to 81; Carlyle's
History of the French Revolution"
reduced to 40 cents; Carlyle's "Heroes
and Hero Worship" 20 cents, and the
Revised New Testament, which is
promised to be manufactured with ra-
pidity heretofore unheard of, will at
tract special attention. It is worth
while for everyone who has not
already seen it, to send and get the
illustrated pamphlet, "B.o Making,
and Type Setting by Steam" which
will be sent free upon application.

Mr.. EDITOR: As it has been gen.
orally Observed that the hen and
chickens over which two of the Bull
LETIN's correspondents had so much
fuss year ago have been Fraudulent
ly disposed of by the night hawks, and
therefore. that neither of said CORES
pondents would contribute to the Bull
LETIN this season. I have concluded to
give a few facts to the public concern
ing our village and neighborhoOd.
The female institute at this place
has been chartered under the four
mile law, and board of directors or
ganized, with VIM. r. Reaves, p, esi-
dent, and J. 81. Shivers, Esq, treas
urer. Prof. Richard Crowder, late OF
Stanton, Tenn, has been employed as
teacher. Mr.. Crowder has an expe-
rience of many years as school teacher,
and comes in our midst very highly
recommended, and we are satisfied he
will prove a very valuable acquisition
to the community at large. The pres
ent session began on Monday, Febru-
AIRY 21st, with about thirty scholars,
and will increase in numbers as the
weather and roads continue to i'm
prove. May success crown his every
effort in this undertaking. 1t is said
that lodge of knights of Honor will
very som be established at New Cas-
tie. This is rumor, and not given as
a fact. Esquire Thomas Polk, our
merchant prince, says business is not
so dull with him as might be supposed.
He has two frst-class business men ell
gagged as statesmen, and so long as the
obliging Howell and good looking
Coffmann remain behind Mr.. Folks
counter, the public will observe bust
ness increasing and frauds diminish
ing. Yours very truly,
D. /. STURBER.

ALMOST A FIRE.
The Bolivar Hotel This Time the Scene
Of the WOaId-be COnfia-
grafton.

At y m. last Sunday, just before
the churches had dismissed their con
gregations, a dense volume of smoke
was seen to issue from the roof of the
Bolivar hotel, the fire alarm was at
once sounded, and in a very short
space of periods, every body was on the
spot, and went to work like a regularly
drilled fire company. Water was
carried up to the attic, and from
thence thrown upon the flames, part of
the roof being necessarily torn up III
the effort to reach the blaze.
IN TEN MINUTES
after the alarm was given, no trace of
the fire could be discovered, so prompt
ly and effectually had the water been
applied Some of the furniture anu
fixtures were removed into the street,
but it was soon found that the flames
were under control James Fontress,
jr., proprietor of the hotel, says no
damage WAS done save to small por-
ton Of the roof, and returns thanks to
his many friends who worked SO faith
fully to save the building.
