Our farmers have nearly finished
gathering corn and cotton and
sowing wheat: and there has been q
terrible slaughter among the pork
ers.
Esq. James Reynolds has sold
his farm to Nj. Rogers, and will move
to Arkansas about the first of Jan
uary. Will Wheeler has also sold
his farm to Mr.. Davenport, and
bought Newt. Hardeman's farm
near Bohemian; and Newt and JAS
per Hardeman have purchased Mrs.
Conyer Smiths farm. Mrs. Smith
has moved to Pulaski. w. j.
Keeling has bought the Frank
johnson farm, and DIR. Byron Rob
erts, who has been living there for
the past five years, has moved to
the Rankin place north of Pulaski.
Dave Hannah has purchased part
of the Reynolds farm. Probably the
advent of little Miss Hannah at
Dawes house since my last letter
was the cause of this. While we
welcome orr new neighbors into
our midst, we regret the loss of the
old ones.
will Wheeler's little boy fell
from wagon and broke his arm
several weeks ago.
John T. YarLrough has anoth-
er little darling who will call him
papa in few years.
Since our last report we have
had several visitors, among whom
we mention Miss Laura Cant OF
Maury, the guest Of Miss Lille
Short; DR.. Ben Hardeman and his
brother Alonzo of Henry county,
who were visiting their brother,
Jasper Hardeman; Henry Sowell of
Lawrenceburg, the guest of his sis
ter. Mrs. Julia Marks, and some
one else whom we will not mention
just now.

Whara 70 Trade

| We want to impress on the coun-
try people of Giles county the fact
that it will pay them to trade with
the merchants who advertise. The
merchant who advertises freely sells
more goods than the one who does
not, and though he may be no clev
erer man and no more reliable, vet
he can sell them cheaper because he
sells more. He also makes it
point to offer special bargains, for
he is wide awake and wishes to
catch your trade, and if you will
watch these columns you will often
find exactly what you need and had
made up your mind to buy offered
to you at a bargain. These men
don't make as much profit as those
with less trade (you want to buy
from the men who sell at short
proft) but they sell more and turn
over their money oftener, and in the
end make more money tor them
selves and save their customers
large amounts, 1t will pay you
then to trade with merchants who
advertise. Some men do not think
it pays to advertise and they plod |
along and have to sell at larger
profits to pay expenses, whereas if
they would persistently invite your
trade they would soon be able to
sell at lower prices, sell more, make
more money themselves and save
you many dollars. If you find one
too stingy to advertise you may be
sure he will want a big profit.
CITIZEN readers do not have to
search far to find the best place to
trade. Watch these columns and
when you see man advertising lib
orally you may count on it that he
S doing we'll and knows how to do
better, and he is going to give you
bargains to secure your trade.
Please mention when you trade with
| Pulaski merchant that you saw
lis advertisement in the CITIZEN.

Carp Culture.

To the CITIZEN.
DIR. w. L. Moores some time since

pond making and carp culture and
will supplement his suggestions
with my experience in raising Ger
man carp Of the Mirror species. ]
had been in the fish business about
five years trying TO accomplish
something in that line, but without
success, with the common fish oil
our country, when my attention was
drawn to carp and / obtained from
the commissioner at Washington
six Mirror carp and placed them in
my ponds Dec. /, 1880, the fish be
ing about five inches in length.
drained my ponds Sep. 10, 1881,
caught the fish and found them Is
inches long and weighing four
pounds each, accidentally killing two
of them. In the spring of 1882 they
commenced to spawn, beginning in
April and spawning once month
for five or six months. In Novem-
Der, 1882, again drained my ponds
and found l had about 1000 young
fish of five or Six sizes. 1 reserved
600 of the largest and sold the bal
ance to parties for stock fish. NV
old ones then weighed eight pounds
each and were over two feet long.
Again 1 have just drained nv
ponds Nov. 1 and have about
1000 young fish, 500 yearling fish,
and surplus of $500 of both ages.
My old fish now weigh ten or twelve
pounds each, the two sexes being |
different in size. The young fish
are all uniform in size. [ had sew
eral of them on the table in the
spring and in my opinion they can
not be excelled for eating in the
winter and spring. In the summer,
like other fish, they are not good,
the water becoming impure and
they lose their flavor but continue
20 grow with plenty of water and
,Oom. They are not expensive to
,aise, are vegetable feeders and will
thrive on anything a pig will do
we'll on. They need attention, of
course. 1 labored several years un-
Ter disadvantages but my efforts

flying success. l was the first man
