A letter from the treasurer of the
Cumberland Telephone Company at
Nashville to the editor of the CITI-
ZEN, in response to an inquiry as to
what is necessary to be done to Sc
cure the building of a telephone line
to Nashville, says our people will
have to subscribe for stock at the
rate of 500 per mile. This stock
pays per cent now and will pay s
after Aprii-2 per cent quarterly.

Col. Solen E. Rose has long let
ter in the last Milan Exchange with
reference TO our proposed railroad.
He has enlisted the interest and
aid of the people there and that in
terest is gradually extending along
the proposed route. This will at
tract the attention of railroad build
ers after a while. 1t is merely a
matter of time before the seed sown
by Maj. Sykes and the CITIZEN and
Col. Rose shall bear fruit. The
idea is taking hold everywhere that
the want of the country is direct

There is no such thing on the

keeping with the slanderous intelli

Commissioner McWhirter has
transferred the Tennessee exhibit
to the capitol at Nashville, utilizing
a large space in the second story
hitherto useless. Our people when
they go to Nashville should be sure
to visit the capitol and see how

more specimens of our products

We cannot too often or too ear
nestly bring before the people of
Giles and the adjoining counties
the necessity and importance of a
road through Pulaski from the
northwest to the southest. The
iron regions of Tennessee lie west
and northwest of us and the coal
regions on the east and southeast.
They are now building roads in Al
bama in this direction and all we
have to do is to meet them at the
Tennessee river at or near Gunters-
vile, Ala. The Illinois Central
and the Texas and st. Louis rail
road are deeply interested in this
through line. No road would or
could throw more business upon
the Illinois Central road than the
route projected. We hope they
may give it a full investigation.
Let the people in the counties of
Wayne, Lawrence, Giles and Lin
coin take hold of this matter in
earnest and they can do much to-
wards securing the road.

The False Prophet whipped and
annihilated the Egyptian army in a

an eyewitness says they offered

we see whether he does it right or

Franklin Review and Journal =
We learn from Col. John H. Say
age, the president of the railrail
commission of this state, that they
are busily engaged in formulating
a plan for a campaign before the
people for a mandatory commission.
1t will not be long before the can
vass for this sort of commission
will be inauguratedS
Was it for this kind of a work
that this commission was created2
Wouldn't it be more in the line of
duty to attend to the business set
apart to them than laying cut plans
for damaging Tennessee by precipi-
tating this question again, heated
hotter? Or do they see that this
farce will not be tolerated much
longer and they get up something
fresh so they may be reappointed
What business is it of theirs to be
making issues and campaigns and
politics and plans? Look at the
concluding sentence to Col. Roses
letter. Railroad builders are hold
ing aloof from Tennessee on ac-
count of the seeming hostility to
railroads. When will Tennessee be
rid of demagogues and idiots

1t is reported that Cleopatra, to
express the intensity of her love for
one Mr.. NJ. Anthony, dissolved a
100000 pearl in cotton seed oil
and swallowed it. The world has
for centuries contemplated with in
tense awe this costly foolishness oI
the giddy maid, but the poetry and
romance is all knocked out of the
transaction by the recent finding of
a pencil note on the dy leaf of her
copy of Peck's Bad Boy stating that
she expected to regain the pearl.
1t is now settled that she was the
original and only Mother of Pearl.

When Engineer Gabe Gabell
came booming round the curve at
Whiteshoro, Texas, and saw that
collision was inevitable, he closed
the throttle, put on the brakes and
said to the fireman: Jump; one
of US is enough on this train" The
fireman jumped, and the engineer
stood at his post till the crash came
History records no grander act of
bravery. That short expression
embodies the very essence of chris
tianity itself. The Son of Man
came and placed himself in the
breech of danger and told man to
jump and save himself, while He
went down into death. What sub
lime self-sacrifice Thoughtful
evensin the instant of terrible peril
of another's life, he commands bis
subordinate to save his own life,
while he sets his face resolutely to-
wards death, stands at his post
with hand of steel upon the throt-
tie and goes down on duty. What
man that reads this could have
done it? Such sublime heroism
takes the name of Gabe Gabell out
of the list of ordinary mortals and
places 1t alongside of the greatest
and best that ever lived. The self
substitution of Pythias to the
death prepared for his friend was
prompted by enduring love for that
friend, but Gabe GabelPs sacrifice
was made to cold duty. There was
not time for emotion. 1t was not a
friend whose life was imperiled.
No hope of reprieve stood guard
against utter dispair. 1t was a
pure offering of his body sacrifice
upon the altar of duty.

A singular case of excessive
emotion is recorded by the Gil
bertsboro letter in the Athens Cou-
rier. A young man from over this
side of the line has been paying his
addresses to a fair one in Alabama
and last week came to the point and
proposed. Receiving an answer in
the affirmative, his JOY was so un-
bounded that he fell to the floor
dazed. A physician was called who
pronounced it rush of blood upon
the brain, and he had to be hauled
home hext day.

If road be built from Milan to
Pulaski it will then connect with
the Illinois Central running 10 st.
Louis and also to Chicago. But
this not all. That road would be
extended west from Milan and
would connect with the Texas and
St. Louis road running through Ar
kansaw and Texas at or near New
Madrid. This projected road
would cross all the roads in the
southern states and run parallel
with none of them. In this con
sis.s its great value.

The Commercial Gazette says the
election of Carlisle is a forerunner
of old time southern supremacy and
that all the northern democrats
can ow take back seats. Il spits
venom and fire and hatred and
abuse and warns the country to be
ware and not suffer the rebels to
carry off the government. And yet
this is the first time man south of
Mason and Dixie's line has held
any of the higher offices since the
war, and this one was a union man
and was born and raised
in a suburb of Cincinnati, within
rifie-shot of the old slush singer
who thus abuses everything south
ern. Its warnings are also in face
ofthe fact that for, r,nineteen years the
south has asked no office, but al
ways selects or acquiesces in the Sc
lection of candidates from among
northern democrats, and even now,
when there are southern voters who
were babes when the last gun fired,
there is a universal desire to have
the northern democrats again select
a candidate from their own num-
DOlo. L nc oOubn Has NOluubaIilJ
taken back seat and kept it in de-
cency and moderation, has borne
patiently the abuses and lies of
such slanderers as Halstead and his
sanity partner, Deacon Richard
Smith, who few months since was
the object of Halstead's hatred
and whom he delighted to call q
miserable dog. She has not asked
anything, is asking nothing now,
and all of this is known to this man.
In decent contrast to these rawlings
and SANDERS, is the tone of modera-
tion that characterizes the southern
press. There is a universal cry of
peace! peace! peace They are in
viting northern men to come and
live with us and they are coming,
and there is new era of fraternal
feeling and coming together of men
in the bonds of peace and with the
one single purpose, under the same
flag, loyal alike, to bury the dead
past and build up our common in
terests. Let this madman rave and
slobber and SANDER. There are de
cent things to be done by decent
people and we have no time to stop
and kick all the dogs that bark
at US.

The Cow Pea For Ensllage.

The COW pea, which plays SO important q
part in Southern agriculture, whether to
turn under to enrich the soil, or To convert
into hay for stock, has been found 10 make
d most valuable ems ilage, especially for
COWS in milk. This pea, so far IS its herb
age is concerned, may be as our own expert
ments snow, utilized beyond the Southern
States. In the climate of New York City,
while it will hardly riptn its seeds, it will
give heavy weight of green fodder, and /
is worthy OF a trial for ensilage. When
cured as hay the leaYes DROP every lime it
IS handled, loss which can be altogether
avoided when il is cut and stored in silo
This pea, which is a great blessing Il
agriculture, presents great num-
Der of varieties. A few years ago we ,througl
the aid of some friends in Georgia, made Il
collection ofall the different kinds we could
procure. We received peas under nearly
f. ty different names, but found that only
about twenty of these we're really distinct,
so far as we could judge by the appearance
Of the seeds. A share Of varieties are cult
yated in the Southern States Just Tor food,
but the majority are regarded as forage
plants. We notice that some New York
seedsmen offer the seeds of WhippoorwIll"
and others which are esteemed in Southern
States as forage plants. We know no plant
more worthy Of careful test by those WHO
practice ensilage, than the Southern Cow
Pea" Like other beans (for it is much
nearer bean than a pea), il should not
be sown until the soil is well warmed and
all danger of late frosts is over.-Agrlcm

Raising Chickens by Artificial Mothers

Raising CnlcKens DY hrtlnclal motners
Mr.. Renwick writes from large expert.
ence on this subject in the Agricuiturist
He says:
When fancier raises forty or ffty chick
ems year, as amusement, the amount oi
care which he gives them is never taken
into account but if the number o: chicken,
be increased to several hundreds, som,
means must be provided by which so larg'
a number can be taken care of without too
much labor. For supplying warmth and
protection to young chickens, various Ear
ufcial mothers," or "bro oders," have beeL
devised. Those in the market are wei
enough adapted to the raising oi a small
number Of chickens Of nearly the same ag
but it bCcomrs delicate matter when from
Two hundred and fiftv to five hundred ar,
to be raised, and OF all ages, from those jus
hatched'to those large enough for broilers
Y Jung chickens must have plenty of all
exercise, and wholesome green food; ant
means OF protection against injury must b
provided. Where young chirkeLs OF di!-
ierent ages are together, the elder tyrlnnlz
over the younger, the newly hatche,
chickens being frequently trampled L
l.ath, or are driven away from their food
by the stronger. Young chickens are very
often lost in the grass when at liberty, and
are frequently wet and chilled. Hence, to
successfully raise large number Of chick
ems by hand, various means must he pro-
Vided by which those of different ages can
separated, and by which the chickens
can be protected and at the same time have
sufficient liberty for exercise and develop
ment in the open air.
