Popular HiII (The Hub )

To the CITIZEN:
You no doubt are an older citi-
zen than myself, and understand
where this locality is. However, /
propose, for reasons that may occur
to you as proceed, to give rather a
detailed description of Poplar Hill.
1t is situated in district No. 2, at a
point where the Elkton and Pros
pect road crosses the Cherokee In
dian -boundry-line, which passes S.
$50 and 500 E.from some point above
Aspen Hill and terminates at old
Fort Deposit in the south bank of
Tennessee river, short distance
above Ditto's Landing, now Whites
burg. Poplar Hill, though center
Of Hub of Giles county, so far as l
know is but a village, merely So
is not regularly laid off or out as
your pleae, has five principal streets,
viz: Gilbert street, extending west
from Church square; Rlchland
street, extending east from the same
point; Pulaski street leaves Church
square at an angle of n. 33o and 800
W. on the said Indian boundary
line. These are the three principal
streets; beside these there are two
other minor streets, both running
south, viz: Amasa leaves Gilbert
street between Campbell's shop and
the school house; Chuckley leaves
Richlend street east of the Indian
boundary-line about two hundred
yards and runs parallel with it.
l have INDUCED in giving a spe-
cial descriptions of this place on ac-
count of its growing Importance as
well as the happenings past and
near future that may be worthy of
notice and interesting to your read
ers.
The Baptist association exnected
to convene here ~ Lnursday, 18th inst,
" H'0h expect to make memoranda
curing it's session and deal out, if it
pleases you, weekly doses for the
pleasure and amusement of your
readers.
1 will mention one circumstance
only in this communication to show
you something of the growing i'm
portance Of the Hub: Geo. r. Pow
ell is putting up some excellent and
valuable gin machinery that will
no doubt be considered an oasis
out of the great desert Of want in
this part of the great Sahara of
Giles.
If you can stand this, 1 may give
a few weekly items from this point,
but if it does not go well with you,
treat it as the work Of a double-ad-

Richard Golden was a splendid
development of the commercial
traveller. He saw with prophetic
eye the surprising influence which
the United States was to exert in
changing the conditions of interna-
tional trade competition. Writing
in 1885, before he had entered upon
the agitation for the repeal OF the
corn laws, Mr.. Golden declared
that it was by industry and peace
full economy of America, and not by
the efforts of barbarian force, that
the power and greatness of En-
gland were in great danger of
being superseded; by the successful
rivalry of America, England was
in all probability to be placed sec
ond in the rank Of nations. 1t was
pointed how, through the dominion
of steam, our vast territory was for
all the purposes of commercial or
social intercourse to be compressed
into an area sufficiently small to be
welded with the most telling effect.
In a phrase, Golden looked to a pc
riod when the United States would
dictate terms to the commercial and
manufacturing nations of the world.

mate trade, to support this PERM
cious system of gambling. Neither
they nor the gamblers should be
shown any mercy if they fail. They
know the chances they take as
the common gambler does, and
they take no heed of the mis-
cry and suffering their acts may
cause. Their ears are deaf to
the pleadings of the honest trades
people who they ruin; their eyes are
blind to the rags and tears of the
widows and orphans whose destitu-
tion they have wrought.
Another feature of this great ini-
quity is the temptation 1T holds out
to those who are entrusted with
funds-cashiers, tellers and book
keepers-who are lured on to their
ruin by theIgilded promises held out
by stock gamblers. They venture
little at first. The margin" is
swept away and the loss is very
light; or, perhaps, the stock gam
bling vampires think it will suit
their purpose best to let their vic
tim have few dollars gain, and
he is drawn gradually on and on till
he finds himself penniless, perhaps
an embezzler or defaulter, or both.
Disgrace and ruin is now his lot.
His family is broken up, his wife is
widowed and his children are or
phaned; but what is worse, a ia
theirs crime is to forever follow and
curse them.
While all this is being enacted,
the gamblers who manipulate the
markets and cause all this misery
ire holding their nightly orgies,
ieasting and drinking with vile
creatures decked in fine raiment, all
IF which is paid for with the money
so foolishly given them by the
trusted employe or tradesman.
Human nature prompts US to pity |
ihe poor victim, because of the sOr-
'ow his acts bring on others; but |
when any of the big stock gamblers
70 down in the storm they have
started for the purpose of running |
'thers, we have no word of pity. 1t
would be better for the country if
hey would all go as the Grants,
Wards and Keenes have just gone,
nd the whole system would go
long with them. Legitimate busi-
less would then thrive and receive
he attention that is now divided

For an hour or two the neighbors
all wondered what had happened in
at Fosters, and the cook wondered
the roof had not fallen in, for she
never heard such language. And the
return of David's with his account
of false arrest and Imprisonment
did not mend matters.
But Agatha was right after all.
In few months the old gentleman
felt that he could not do without
his girl, and finally wrote her a let
ter which established the happi-
ness Of the family. To-day, the
young lawyers strategem and his
manner of getting old Davids out of
the way is considered an excellent
joke by his worthy father-in law.

the sensible utterance of w. A.
Thoma, in the Davidson county
convention, on the railroad commits
sion questian. Mr.. Thoma was a
democratic elector for this district
in the Hancock camgaigni and a
true democrat:
He claimed that a mans democ-
racy was not tested by his fealty to
a railroad commission. 1t was not
a principle of democracy, and had
nothing to do with it. He argued
that commission was antagonistic
to the best interests of the country
and therefore not to be countenan-
ced. He declared that the courts
should decide the question before
the people had anything more to do
with it.
