.RAILwAY RACKET.

Clarksville is proud Of her new
passenger depot, now ready for use.
Double daily passenger trains again
running on the g., st. L. q N. o.
road.
The break in the c., St. l.. & N.
0. road has been repaired, and trains
are now running regularly.
The accommodation train pulled
out a drawhead when it started from
here Thursday evening, causing
short detention.
A guard passed here Thursday with
ten negro convicts from Somerville,
taking them to the penitentiary. We
judge there will be less stealing in and
around that town now.
Some forty or fifty French and
German immigrants laid over here
Saturday and Sunday last on account
of the washouts in the roads south.
They were bound for Louisiana and
Texas.
Hatchie river got up IA boom last
week and damaged the T.. u n. road
pretty badly, washing out much of
the track. Trains were abandoned
for day or two, but are now running
on time.
Fayetteville Express: The narrow
guage railroad will be. completed, pos
sibly. in two weeks, but through
trains will not be put on until May.
Both engines need repairing before
being put to regular duty.
The Alamo Sentinel says: "The
completion of the Tennessee Central
is about the only chance for Alamo to
ever have u railroad" Then join us,
neighbor, in working up boom in
its favor. Get up statistics of what
would probably be shipped over it in
your county and send them to Presi-
dent Wise A. Cooper at Trenton.
MIR. G. P. Huntingdon, the railroad
tycoon, accompanied by T. w. Pierce
of Boston, President of the Sunset
road in Texas, passed here in special
car last Saturday. One or two Of our
Tennessee Central directors took oc-
casion to call his attention to that en-
terprise while he was waiting here
He intimated that he would look into
the matter if brought properly before
him. Let our people go to work and
make a good showing.

where in this paper.
Mrs. Guion last Tuesday sent us a
branch from peach tree which was
full of white blooms. The peach is
a free stone variety, but we do not
know the name. Who ever saw
white peach blooms before? She also
sent us some branches of the Craw-
ford which were just as full as they
could well be. If nothing happens,
she will have fine crop. The frost
has not yet hurt them.

A Parting Word.

A great many of ur subscribers
have renewed during the past week
and many new names have been ad.
ded to our list. A few-whom we
have been unable to see-will get the
paper this week, with a cross mark
opposite their names. If we do not
hear from them by next week, we
shall take it for granted that they
wish their papers discontinued, and
will cut them off. Thus far we have
had only one to stop, and we think he
will renew shortly.

Food for Thought.

A locomotive engineer was watching
the unloading of lot of plows here
the other day, when he sententiously
remarked: "This is the d-dest coun,
try to buy plows, and afterwards the
d-dest country to buy corn that |
ever saw" Itdoes look a little strange,
when it is we'll known that we have
the finest timber in the world and as
productive soil as any in the country.
We need more and better farmers, as
well as more mechanics. A farmer
who will not raise corn enough to feed
his family and his stock ought to be
ashamed of himself.

Buying q Girl.

From the Toronto Globe. Fort Calgary Letter.
Yesterday, though the weather was bitterly
cold. there was a lull in the storm. and word
was brought over to the saloon that there was
to be hOrse-race between the Indians and
half-breeds on the other side of the Elbow.
There was general stampede for the foot
bridge, and made my way over in company
with cowboy, whom I know only as ''Shorty. 81
As we were crossing the stream he handed me
handful of nuts and remarked that he was
taking pocketful over to ''his girl
''Where did you get girl?' asked
81 bought her over here at the Blackfoot camp
last night"
''What did you give for herr"
'.Thirty-f dollars. Oh, here she is," he
added, as little six-year-Old Blackfoot girl
came caperng down the bank to meet him and
take possession Of the nuts. The little one had
on new dress warm stockings. new shoes and
little black blanket all of which had evidently
come ont of the store within the last twenty
four hours. After loading her with the nuts,
Shorty allowed her to start back toward the
lodge, but thinking her blanket did not fit her
close enough. he called her back and taking of
the empty cartridge-belt which held his own
ovefcoat together he belted her little blanket
snugly around her waist and then sent her off
the happiest youngster In the Blackfoot camp.
What will you do with herr" l asked
Her mother Is to keep her till go back to
Montana. and then I'll take her down home and
give her to the old woman (his mother). and
then, he added very seriously ''she's nice in
nocent little girl now, but ii she stays here she'll
starve Till she grows up and then go to the bad.
II take her home and mother III make woman
of her,
l could not help thinking, as went back to
the saloon. that Shorty and his mother were
likely to accomplish more between them than
many a pretentious society Of wealthy philan.
thropists might do during q prosperous career
Of several years.
