FREIGHT REDUCTIONS.
Pulaski to Got as Low Rates as
Other Points.

Complaint is continually made by
persons living in the north end of
Giles that they could not get as
much for wheat in Pulaski as in
Lewisburg. The consequence was
that large quantities of wheat that
legitimately belonged to the Pulaski
trade was going out that way. We
sought for a reason and then adj
dressed the following letter:
JAMES GEDDEs, SUP'T, &C.
DEAR SIR lis it rot the policy OF
YOUR road to build up its towns and at
the S 4me time increase its freight bust
ness? If so, note this:
Wheat buyers at Lewisburg, on the
D. R. V. r. r. are able TO give from ten
to twenty cents more per bushel than
| Pulaski buyers. 1t is because that road
lowers the rate out through Fayette-
vile and necherd. The consequence
is that nearly all the wheat from the
northeast end of this county goes to
Lewisburg. Result: Pulaski loses
thousands OF trade and your road losses
freight. Can you not meet this and
remedy it? II you can make any con-
ceSsions or reductions, please communi-
cate with me in form to be published
and the tide can be turned this way.
Wheat is moving rapidly and whatever
is done must be in haste.
Yours Truly
LAPS. d. MCCoRD.
Mr.. Geddes answered Immediate
ly that the matter was referred to
Jno. NJ. Culp, Gen'l Freight Agent,
who at once wrote to Mr.. Teft, the
agent at Pulaski:
w. A. left, ESQ. =
DEAR SIR:-Please note attached
letter from Mr.. McCord. Please call on
Mr.. McCord and have talk with him
and then go out into the country and
guarantee the same rate on wheat 60
ing to points which we can reach via
Montgomery, say West Point, Opelika,
Columbus, Union Springs, Troy, &C.,
from Pulaski as from Fayetteville. Let
this rate cover wheat from counties sur
rounding Pulaski, say ten miles distant.
Yours truly
J. NJ. CULP, G. F. A.
Now the difficulty is removed and
if Pulaski buyers do not give as
much for wheat SIS Lewisburg it is
OuClI ldulG. w = nave UCSu dSSuIGQ
that this has been the cause of the
lower prices. 1t cannot be now
Wheat raisers will therefore take
notice that the rate is to be as cheap
as Fayetteville rates to all points
equally accessible by Pulaski and
Fayetteville. The buyers will doubt
less at once take advantage of these
instructions to Mr.. Teft, and if they
do not, raisers may ship themselves.
This makes Pulaski
AS GOOD WHEAT MARKET
as there is in Middle Tennessee and
will doubtless induce others here to
buy who have stood back on &C
count of the rate, and will remove
any objection farmers may have in
bringing their wheat to this market.
1t is commendable in these gentle
men of the railroad that they answer
so promptly andp satisfactorily. 1t
is to their interest to build up this
section, for it increases their bust
ness, and it is to our interest to up
hold the railroad that thus promptly
affords relief.

How He Got a Home.

As an instance of the rapid in
crease in the value of property in
Nashville the following incident is
a good one: Three years ago, a
young married man bought four
lots in West Nashville, on one, two
and three years time. When the
first note became due, he had a
cash offer for two of the lots which
would meet the entire amount paid
for the four. It was accepted, the
original purchaser thus becoming
the owner of two desirable lots
without paying out a cent. Prop
erty continued to increase in value,
and about four months ago one of
the two remaining lots was sold for
81 500, which was Immediately used
in erecting a neat brick residence
on the fourth lot The purchaser
thus secured a home now worth
over So, 600, by fortunate invest
ment, and has not paid for it a dol
lar, except the profits on the origi-
nal purchase.

BOdenhan.

AS there has been nothing
from this place for some time L viii
try to give few items.
Farmers have at last finished
working their crops and wheat
threshing is nearly over, and the
yield is very light. Not more than
two-thlrds of a crop was made.
Wheat was very badly damaged by
the rust in this section. The pres
ent prospect for a good corn crop
is flatteringly promising at present.
L don't remember to have ever seen
corn look better in this section.
Cotton crops are much more favor
able than they were a few weeks
ago.
The excitement which ran
very high in this vicinity q few
days about mad dogs has to some
extent subsidized since a large por-
ton of the dogs in the neighbor
hood have been killed. 1t was gen
orally believed that a dog which
belonged to Mr.. Lafayette Cook,
which was beyond doubt rabid,
had bitten nearly all the dogs in
the neighborhood. 1t is known to
have bitten horse, COW and
sheep, and also several dogs, be-
fore it was killed. People became
so much alarmed at the threaten
ing probabilities and dangers of
having the whole community
stocked with rabid dogs, that they
began to kill their dogs and since
last Monday a goodly number have
been killed.
I'VE have had a few cases of
murrain among cattle. ESQ. T. A.
Puryear lost two COWS, which died
of murrain q few days ago. Mr..
N. w. Hardeman also lost a cow
last week.

A Strange Story.

GALVESTON, July 24.-The Lam
pasas special to the News says a
carriage containing the skeleton
of three grown persons and two
children, sitting bolt upright as if
in life, was fonnd under a large
tree near the road in Plano county.
The tree was battered by lightning,
and it is supposed the driver of the
carriage shought shelter under
the tree, which was struck, killing
horses and inmates. The weather
beaten appearance of the carriage
and trimmings looked as if it had
been done a year or two ago. In
a small trunk a letter was found
addressed to James G. Chamber
lain, London, England. The re-
mains were found by a stock man
driving cattle, and reported it at
once to the authorities. The par
ties are supposed to have been tour
lists. The spot where they were
found is very secluded, and far
from any habitation.

Brick Church.

Since my last 1 have had the
pleasure of attending one of the
most magnificent ice cream suppers
that it has ever been my lot to at
tend. This supper was given by
the ladies of the Brick Church Mite
Society at the manse for the pur-
pose of securing funds to aid and
carry forward the work on the
manse, which is now nearing com
pletiOn, and it seems that the good
people of this vicinity and those of
Cornersville are in sympathy with
the good ladies of this benevolent
society, tor they turned out en- masse
and contributed largely; but how
coald the young, gallant beaux
avoid spending a few dollars for the
enjoyment of a few hours in the
pleasant and agreeable society of

The Great Enterprise in Flor
lido

Ex-GoY. Jno. C. Brown, who was
in the city yesterday attending a
meeting of the Bon Air Coal Com
pany, stated to an American re-
porter that he received the most en-
couraging reports from Florida re-
garding the ship canal. Chief En-
gineer Stone and Assistant Engin-
eer Hill are running three lines of
survey. From these the lines of
the canal will be selected. Stock
holders in this city, who have lib
orally invested in the enterprise, are
in the best of spirits over the news
they receive from Florida, and
more than ever of the opinion that
it will be one of the grandest sue
cesses of the century. The value
of the stock has increased wonder

Turn the RascaIs Out.

1t is silly to say that republicans
are rascals simply because they are
republicans. There are rascals
everywhere. 1t is true, however,
that the rascals in the republican
party rule the party and gouge the
country. 1t is not because republi
canism is dishonesty, but because
the dishonest members of the party
are in control. 1t is further true
that these rascals have made their
methods the party methods, so that
rascality is a part of the creed of
republicanism and the practice of
republicans. The policy OF ras-
cality is as indellibly stamped upon
republicanism as virtue is upon
christianity, and it has run so long
that it is part of it and cannot be
eradicated, and if you take its soul
of rascality out it, it will die of
hamilton. Rascality is its life
blood and the whole body has piemia
and it crops out every day in loath-
some DEMONSTRATING, pilfering, ex-
pediting, duplicating, defaulting,
etc. This is as plainly a policy of
republicanism as double marriage
is policy of mormonism. 1t can
not be expurgated, there is no cleans
ing for it, its heart is desperately
wicked. "Turn the rascals out" is
the battie7cFy, and it means in
tensely everything the words sug
gest. The politics of republicanism
is secondary to this. 1t is the per
soneI that must be changed. A re-
publican in Office has to have extra
virtue to resist being a rascal. His
brother officers are taught it and
the head officers wink at it. "They
all do it." The honest people of
the country are called upon to puri-
fy their government and kick cor
ont of Dlace and DOwar

with the other saints:
Tell me not in empty jingle,

Chapel the 10th inst. with an atten-
dance of about 30 or 80 pupils, and

they are very scarce in this commu-

The dust, the dust; we are
again needing rain very bad, al
though crops look splendidly, as
they have not suffered very badly so
far. Wheat has all been harvested
and nearly all threshed, and the
yield is going to be considerably
smaller than was anticipated, but
we Will have some for market and
some has been put ON the market of
Pulaski. We heard a farmer say
after carrying his wheat to Pulaski
that he was forced and compelled to
sell at price for it that he couldn't
afford to raise it, and since he re-
turned L notice all the wheat going
in the direction of Lewisburg, be
cause that market is better than the
Pulaski market. When will the
people of Pulaski wake up to their
own interest. Why do they not
push forward the work of construct
ing the turnpike connecting Brick
Church and Pulaski, and then when
people bring their products to their
market, pay them a reasona Die
price for it, for do not think these
good and substantial farmers would
leave their own county town to pat
ronize some other, if they could get
Justice at their own.
Mrs. j. X. P. Blackburn has

Last Thurday Judge Allen or
dered the Banner reporter from the
court room on account of an article
that commented on the trial of the
Polk case. That caps anything that
has occurred lately in this land of
the free. 1t will do for the car or
the kaiser to clap their hands over
the mouth of the press, but for q
little circuit judge in Tennessee to
attempt such muzzling is too alb
surd to criticize. 1t has struck us
that Mr.. Allen was too "previous"
on several occasions, shaping things
up with view to his own notoriety.
1t may be little out of place for a
newspaper to pass judgment on an
important case pending, but the
propriety OF it lies solely in the dis
erection of the publisher and admits
of no outside suggestion or control.
Particularly in Tennessee is such
an order as Judge Allen absurd,
in view of the fact that jurors are
qualified solely upon iliiteracy and
cannot be said to know even how to
read a paper, and besides that the
paper is not given them to read.
If the press of Tennessee does not
'ebuke this upstartishness it will
all to do its duty. The judge said
N the bench that the Banners arti-
lie was 80 damn lie" That's nice. l
