trying to get near enough TO give the beast
something, Jumbo stood swaying his
trunk In front OF tho crowd, but suddenly
stopped and looked intently at the lady
pushing her way toward him. Then he
seemed TO recognize her and leaned as far
forward as his short chain would allow
him and stretched his trunk out toward
the woman, regardless Of the many other
choice bits that were held ont 10 him The
lady reached the rope stretched across in
in front of the elephant aud began TO feed
him some nuts He would take none from
any other person, and seemed delight.

Our people here are adjusting
themselves to the hard times. Ma
ny of the best families have dismiss
ed all unnecessary help in house
work, and are trying to pull through
the year. The other day 1 dined
with Prof. Scobee, at the Murfrees-
borO Female Institute, and l asked
him if it was a joke about cotton
seed oil taking the place of lard.
He said it was no joke, for he was
using it in his boarding house, and
it answered all the uses of the best
Land and at about a third of the cost.
l know the dinner was good.
Last week l attended the County
Sunday-School Association in Muir
freesboro. All the denominations
join in it and the representatives
meet every three months. The next
session is to be held at one of my
churches. During our recent session
a prominent layman who is a MEM
Der of the legislature was up max
ing a speech and wishing TO use an
illustration, called on one of our
young station preachers to know
who it was in scripture that served
fourteen years for his bride. The
young man replied very promptly
that it was abraham, and the smiles
that followed were very nearly au-
dible. Rev. ]. p. McFerrin sug-
gested that it would be well for the
young brother to attend Sunday
School a while himself. Jupiter
nodded once, and this young man
claims that he was nodding.
Our farmers here work on rather
large scale, one of our neighbors
cultivating fifteen hundred acres in
cotton and nine hundred acres in
corn and cereals. Africa rep
resents about three-fourths of our
population in this community, and
what Africa is to do for bread is a
question. If s. Nj. n. g., could To-

We regret to learn that Rev. J.
9. Pullman, the preacher in charge
of Asbury circuit, has been in poor
health for some time, and has failed
to meet his appointments for preach
ing. He will not be able to preach
again, perhaps, for several weeks.
Mr.. Will DAILY has retired to the

Daily now fills his old position be-
hind the counter at the grocery of
Keesee d Northington. He is al
ways glad to see his friends and
customers.
The many friends of Capt. E. M.
Howard will be pleased to learn
that he is now with the extensive
and well known house of Messrs.
Maddox, Hobart q Co., Cincinnati.
This firm is probably the most ex-
tensive manufacturers of highwines
and all kinds of fine liquors, in the

business. Capt. Howard will have
his headquarters at New Orleans
and represent them throughout the
Southern States. We are glad to
hear of his success.

MRS. MARY BOURNE, of Boston,

out for that bourne from which no
traveller ever receives a return check,

son, Allen Thorndyke Rice, editor

the punishment he received for
publishing Bob Ingersoll's diatribes

While l do not think / merited
chastisement from the hands of so
worthy a gentleman as yourself;

me, but on the contrary it was very
acceptable. Allow me therefore to
thank you most sincerely for the

" complimented, me with, in con-
junction with my friends d. Mari,
o. NJ Blackman, DIR. Bailey, G. ID.
Bailey and Hon. r. n. Rhodes.
You say that although sit kindly
took on Republican finish while
in your hands, yet it is believed to
be at heart true Democratic stick"
This circumstance enhances its val
ne greatly, for in estimating the val
ne of things we should not be mis-
lead by the mere SUFFICE, but should
search for those qualities which lie
within, which give them their char
acter and value. | have lived too
long not to know and appreciate
the fact that in party politics there
is much to condemn and always
something to commend, and think
experience has so far liberalized me
as 10 enable me to see and appreci- |
ate the good on either side and re-
ject the bad. So that if the stick |
possesses the twO-fold quality of a
smooth and handsome finish with |
a true Democratic heart it is all the |
more valuable.
Permit me again to thank you for |
the friendship which prompted this
compliment, and l assure you ac- |
cept it in the same spirit in which |
it was so pleasantly and gracefully
presented. Trusting you may live
long to enjoy the proud satisfaction
of seeing our noble State redeemed |
from the damning disgrace of repu-
diatiOn and once more standing
erect in the front rank of debt-pay-
ing States, / subscribe myself most

man or have had any business con-
nections with him.
As previously announced there
was called meeting of all his cred
itors to meet at his store-house in
this city, on last Wednesday. The
meeting was attended by majority
of his creditors, both local and
foreign, and after a consultation
OF a few hours, in which all his
liabilities and assets were laid be-
fore them and fully discussed, il
was unanimously agreed tocompro-
mise with him on basis of 80 cents
on the dollar, with payments of six,
twelve, eighteen and twenty-four
months time. This is regarded as a
most liberal settlement OH the part
of his creditors and speaks volumes
in favor of his unquestioned bust
ness capacity and personal integri-
ty. How highly he is esteemed by
all, both personally and rs a bust
ness man, is further evidenced
when it is stated that he was pres
ent at the meeting, by his attorney,
and did not ask for any compro-
mise whatever beyond an extension
of time, when he would pay dollar
for dollar to every creditor he had
IN the world. The generosity of
the creditors, however, prevailed,
and it was unanimously resolved |
that he be requested to accept the
of 90 cents. Mr.. r. d.
Moseley, the trustee, was instructed
to re-convey to him all his assets
and take his personal notes for the
above stated Captain
Crusman finally agreed to accept
this and in less than four hours after
his creditors met, he was in charge
Of his store, with the doors flung
wide open for business. GAINESVILLE

man as IL merchant and citizen,

THERE is now but one exit from
the city without crossing the high
waters, and that is by the Nash
vile road. None of the regular fer
ries are running at all. There is a
small boat at the lower Red River
bridge and a skiff at the upper
bridge. 1t seems to us that it
would pay some one to put in a
boat at the upper bridge. There
would be great deal of crossing at
this place, if good substantial fer
ry-bOat was put in and moderate
rates charged. Let some enterpris-
