We will give some jottings
without combining ourself to this
place, but will take the liberty to
write some items from Pisgah cir
cult { Methodist),
"A question for naturalists What
has become of the June bugs? We
haven't seen one this year. Never
failed before since we have been old
enough TO tie ones leg to hear it
hum.
We observe that some of our
folks are moving clover that was
sown last spring. Some varieties
of winter apple trees are break
ing down with their load Of
fruit. Was there ever such q thick
carpeting of the various grasses?
AS land caR be greatly improved by
turning green vegetable substances
under, we think much of this i'm
portant work will be done this fall.
We hear of parties proposing to sell
new corn at 90 cts. per hushel.
Hogs are scarce-not much meat
for market.
We report the following cases
of sickness that come to our knowl-
edge: Mr.. NJ. D. Claxton has a
pulmonary trouble. He has been
very sick and is a little improved at
present. Mrs. Sallie Marks, consort
Of the late Maj. L. B. Marks, is in
very bad health. Neuralgia with
age and feebleness extreme make
her recovery somewhat doubtful.
Mr.. Dock Worsham is down with
bilious fever.
There are four octogenarians
(white) living within the bounds of
this Methodist circuit, three of them
members Of it, the fourth a respect
full attendant of preaching. We
begin with the youngest and give
their names, Edward Marks, IN his
S1st year; VIM. Kersey, in his S3rd
year; William Aymett 50 or Sc;
William Williamson, we understand,
is older still, These four veneer
able men still circulate among their
fellows, a connecting link between
the present and the pioneer genera
tions of this healthful Tennessee
country. Mr.. Aymett attended for
two or three days the Blooming
Grove meeting. We heard him
speak of having, when young, heard
the eccentric Lorenzo Dow preach,
also Frances Asbury, who was con-
temporary with Wesley. Mr.. Marks,
we believe, attended seven days
successfully the meeting at the
grove. We have heard him speak
of going with his father a journey
of a day or two when his father
went with a company of soldiers to
fight the British at New Orleans.
We love to listen to the converse
ton of these venerable men. The
latter two gentlemen have numbers
of descendants who are making use
full and well-to-do citizens.
The Rev. Wallace w. Graves,
who was recently visiting kindred
and friends at Blooming Grove, did
some faithful and profitable preach
ing for US during his sojourn among
US. The Pulaski Methodist pastor
preached for US two excellent ser
mons. We are thankful to these
brothers and also to Revs. Mack
Harweu and f. B. Worsham for
efficient pulpit services. The church
enjoyed a gracious revival and had
a few accessions. Mon.

The rain still continues to come
and it is thought the cotton will be
injured thereby. The corn crop,
however, is excellent and for the
immense quantity of fruit and other
gifts so lavishly bestowed, we should
return many grateful acknowledge

-Rev. Joe. Tyler of Alabama
preached at Olivet Sunday evening,
Aug. 9th. We learn that he holds
important positions at the Shelby
Iron Works, in the capacity of
minister, teacher, etc. Bro. Tyler
was formerly our pastor at Mt.

success.
Rev. Joe Irwin delivered an
eloquent discourse at Olivet last
Sabbath. A contribution in behalf
of home and foreign missions was
taken up, and the pri2oely sum of
$92.4O was secured This speaks
much for the Iiberality of some dis
tinguished citizens, and verifies the
fact that Olivet never does things
by halves. G. M. w.

Mr.. Taliaferro's Card,

Mr.. Taliaferro's card declaring
his intention not to be a candidate
for congress this term will be read
with regret by many. Two years
ago, and four years ago. he was
very prominently supported for this
high office and it was generally
agreed that this time the way might
be open to his nomination. In
eliminating himself from the can
cass he lessons the complications
and other possibilities are engen-
dered. We are not permitted to
inquire into his reasons, but we
know that he is in the midst of a
lucrative practice which is increas-
ing continually, and it might in
volve a sacrifice to interrupt it at
this juncture.

WoMAN's BEST FRIKND.-TO relieve

Col Gil. T. Alternately was nom
mated last week at GAINESVILLE by
the Boilers for the legislature. Col.
Alternately is a native of Giles
county, a son of the late Charles c.
Alternately, and is a man of broad
intellect, like his brothers here. We
have seen no indication that he &C
cepts and hope he will not. If he
were to come to Giles he would
have to search long for a Bolter
among his kinsmen who are so nu-
merous here. We interviewed one
of the older members of the family
yesterday and he said that out of
nearly three thousand voters of the
name in the state, Gil. Il. and DR..
j. j. (of Decherd) are the only
Boilers heard from, and they are
crankS on all subject.

We think the Texas crew have
decided not to SOW any wild oats
this year; they will no doubt remain
here. We love to see folks act
sensible.
Road working in this section
for the two weeks has been on a
boom. We can boast of the best
overseers that Giles can afford; men
of sense; men who know what the
road law is, and what it ought to be.
Prof. w. S. Bass closed his
school at Mars Hill last Saturday.
He will start in n few days TO Bed

sing one eternal song to Moses and
the Lamb for aye and ever.

C. speaks as though the Doth
district is solid for Whitthorne.
Let a Giles county man enter the
field and we will soon have the honor
OF seeing the scales fall from his
(Cs) eyes. We believe we have
men in Giles who are able TO relieve
Whitthorne Of the responsible duties
of that office. Why should we step
around and over our neighbors and
select a man of less ability If we
send him back, let US give him

Capt. A. G. Irvine, of Dallas,

Texas and is prospecting there, we
are glad TO know, but like all the bal

Mr.. j. IL. Morris had on eXhibi-
ton on the square Tuesday one of
tue DeVany wagons. As far as we
could Judge, it is as good a wagon
as any as its kind sold in this mar
ket, trim, neat, nicely proportional
and skillfully made all over. 1t is
an actual demonstration of Mr.. De
Vany's superior workmanship. We
fail to see why it is impracticable to
start their manufacture in Pulaski.
We believe it is sent here for the
purpose of exhibiting the maker S
mechanical skill. He has submitted
figures covering every piece and
evero stroke of work in it and shows
that it will pay. 1t seems to US
that some of the capital lying idle
here or some that is now used in q
plodding way might be put into this
and made to pay the persons wei
and at the same time be an advant
age to the town and county. Farm
ers can get wagons cheaper and tn,
money will be expended and circu-
lated at home.

A Lesson for Tennessee.

A wholesale merchant of Nash
vile informed US the other day that
the collections of his house were
always better out Of the money real
lied by the people from dried fruit
than from the wheat crop. There
is a sermon in this statement. 1t
can be safely said that three-fourths
or more of the fruit crop of Giles
county is wasted and allowed to rot
every year, and Notwithstanding this
fact, it yields more ready money
than the wheat crop. TIE money
that comes in for wheat comes in
bulk and is used in bulk to pay
land debts and store accounts, but
this fruit money, smaller in amount
of course, constitutes the pocket
change and currency. 1t can be
developed into a large industry and
nothing is wanting except n DISPOSE
ton to bring it to market and care
for it more closely. We consider
Mr.. Craig's fruit drying venture one
Of the most important steps for
farmers that has happened in Giles,
All day yesterday wagons loaded
with apples were before his door
and he actually had to advertise
that he does not want any more. 1t
will require several evaporators TO
dry the crop, and rs they increase,
more fruit will be sold and greater
care taken to preserve it for market,
and the final outcome will amount
to thousands Of dollars. 1t utilities
apples for which there has been no
market. The farmers should study
these facts and let the care and
preservation of the apple crop go
along with the other saving of little
things that they now waste.
