Sweetwater Democrat From
what we learn In conversation with
farmers from different localities IL
the county, wheat promises an
abundant harvest. Oats ,own in

tent, in places, that farmers will
plow up and plant corn or reseed
to spring oats.
The Carthage Mirror says that
the Tennessee & Pacific railroad
extension, ut an early day, from
Lebanon to the mouth OF the Caney
Fork river, Is creating a good deal
of interest among some OF our clear
headed people. This great trunk
line will be extended, and our peo-
pie can get the benefit Of 1t, il they
but show proper appreciation"

Dickson County Press: We learn
that two or three Mormon preachers
are preaching and teaching their
licentious beliefs In portions of this
and adjoining counties, with the
object OF securing converts to their
doctrine. Any commu-
nifty could well spare The ignorant
and iebased creatures who become
converts to the doctrine that makes
prostitution a religious duty; but
will the people submit quietly to
having such doctrines promulgated
i'm their midst?

B. McInturff's little boy, about

killed in the afternoon by Mr.. Nc
