Ny Dear Dear: i spoke to you short
time ago about point Of interest TO your
Iailroad company that occurred at the last
session OF Congress. 1t was on the last
night OF the session. when the bill renew
ing the land grant to the State OF Ar
kansas for the Little Rock road was
reached. by julian. OF Indiana, chairman
Of the Public Lands Committee, and by
right entitled TO the floor. attempting to
nut In the bill as an amendment TO the
Fremont III Paso scheme-a scheme
probably vel, known 10 Mr.. Caldwell.
The House was thin, and the lobby
In the Fremont interest had the thing all
set up. and Julian's amendment was likely
TO prevail II brought to vote. Root and
the other members from Arkansas, who
wee doing their best for their own bill, to
which there seemed to be no objection,
were In despair. for II was well known that
the Senate was hostile TO the Fremont
scheme, aud IL the Arkansas bill had gone
back to the Senate with Julian's amend
ment the whole thing would have
gone on the table and slept the sleep
OF death. In this dilemma Root came
TO me to know what on earth
be could Go under the rifles, for, he said,
Il was vital to his constituents that the
bill should pass. l told him that
Julian's amendment was entirely out
Of order because not germsne. But
he had net sufficient confidence in
his knowledge CT the rules to make
the point. but he said General Logan was
opposed 10 the Fremont scheme, and
would probably make the point. l sent my
paee to General Logan with the sugges-
tion, and he at once made the point. i
could not do other than sustain II, and so
the bill was freed from the mischieyods
amendment moved by Julian. and a. once
passed without objection. AT that time
had never seen MIR. Caldwell, but you can
tell him that, without knowing 1t, did
him great favor. Sincerely yours,

Mr.. Editor:-Glen Mary moums the
loss of one of her best aud most in
Auential citizens. The late Mr.. J. b.
Taylor, gentleman highly respected,
formerly from Covngton, where he was
extensively engaged in large enterprises,
moved among us upon the opening of
the G. S. railroad. AT the time of his
death Mr., Taylor was in the employ OF
the G. n. d r. p. Railroad, having
charge Of the water supply from Cum
berland falls to Memo. AS gentleman
with the good of the community at
heart, always ready to forward its in
terests, liberal in his ideas and purse,
he will in his death be greatly missed.
Mr.. Taylor was the kindest of hus-
bands and fathers. He leaves n wife,
daughter recently married and two
sons. Harr, the younger will continue
his fathers business. His remains were
removed to Covinston and inferred with
masonic honors; he was mason OF
high position.
Mr. J. G. Hamby's new store is an
ornament tc the p ace; he has got well
established, and we hope he will re-
ceive II fair share Of the village patron
aye.
The winter school is under the very
efficient management Of Miss Scott, OF
New River; the reports from her school
are hattering. Hotel de Haines i
full, good place to stop. The
mines are working very large force
and turning out lots of coal and coke
none better. Bridge over Black Vol
is completed and travellers to aud from
Glen Mary will find it a pleasure t,
travel now. Yours, truly,
SCkIBEIER.

The most important thing in pur
chasing land in Tennessee, as, indeed,
anywhere else, is the title to- or right
Of, possession. Unfortunately in times
past things We're so mixed up that at
the present day it is NO easy matter in
some portions Of this State for man
to know when, or whether, he is hold
ing his own, or somebody clses. 1t is,
therefore, a subject for unlimited COM
placency to know and feel thai in the
wise purchases of the Board of Aid
only that land WAS bought that was free
and clear, or capable of b ing cleared
The titles are indisputable, and the
Boards block of $4,000 acres is with
out claimants shadow. The settler
may come and sit down and rise up,
with none to make him afraid, backed,
withal, by the Boards warranty and
defence of title.
No progress can be made where there
is anxiety or uncertainty, and can there
be anything more vexing than to see,
Just when the crops and improvements
are beginning to tell, the hand of some
stranger stretched out to grasp that
which you deemed was your ownl W.
would impress hpon our many readers
some of whom may be thinking o
coming here to purchase and live, tn,
great fact that all lands upon tn,
