failure of Jones Bros. to move their |
wooden mills to Jackson should |
also have said that the local COM
pany decided to buy entirely new
machinery, and start entirely new
mills with double the capital origi-
nally contemplated. Jackson will
soon have two wooden mills in oper-
alton.
Columbia Herald: A club is be-
ing organized in Columbia some
what similar to the. Hermitage
club of Nashville. A meeting of
number interested in it was :held
last Wednesday night and a COM
mittee consisting OF Horace Frier-
son, Geo. l.. Thomas, and A. N.
Dale were appointed to canvass the
town and counties and see what
could be, done. Quite a number
have signed an agreement consent
ing to join, and it is thought, the
organization will be effected.
Jackson Tribune and Sun: Capt
Thomas Clark who lives about one
mile Northwest of Jackson, saw a
large black bear in his yard last
Monday night, several times. It
was light enough to see the bear
distinctly, and he seemed to be ma
king himself at home about the
premises, Capt. Clark had no gun
nor dog, and he thought it best to
let the bear have his own way, and
take his own time for leaving. AT
ter providing. about the yard and
garden for good part of the night,
bruin left for the Forked Deer bot
| tom.
McMinnville New Era Mr..
William Martin, and one or two Of
his neighbors on Rocky river, about
the first of last August, bought each
one half dozen of German Carp,
and placed in their respective pond.
The young fish were about inches
in length when placed in the ponds.
On the 10Th of January Mr.. Martin
found three OF his fish dead, float
ing under the ice of his pond
though perfectly sound. in flesh
took them out, and the largest one
was eighteen inches in length and
weighed g. lbs; and the other two
81 pounds each.
Judge Greer severely repriman-
ded the jury that brought i'm YER
diet of not guilty in murder case
tried in the Memphis criminal court
last week and then turning to the
clerk said. "Enter this order on
the minutes of the court: Ii is Or
dered by the Court that the names
of the twelve men comprising this
jury be spread on the minutes and
the sheriff notified not to summon
them as jurors for any purpose in
this court at any time, as the Court
is satisfied from the verdict they
have rendered in this case they are
incapable and unworthy to serve"
Murfreesboro News: Capt. Ed.
Arnold gave us some four-mile
gourd seed the other day. The
guurd takes its name from the
length of the handle. 1t is said that
the people who live in the country
near incorporated schools, may, by
leaving one end of the handle, In
town, get their morning toddies
without violating the four mile law.
Capt. Arnold has the gourd mere
ly as curiosity-he doesn't live in
the country and wouldn't have any
need of the gourd if he did. But
we have bad a demand for some OF
the seed from other friends, who do
live in the country.
Dickson Press: A drove of fat
cattle were brought to this place.
Monday last, from Cumberland Fur
mace, and shipped that night to
Memphis where they will be sold.
We understand that the DrouilIard |
Iron Co., are feeding a large num-
Der of cattle this winter and this lot |
is sent to Memphis as an expert
ment, in order to find out if that |
city is a good market for cattle from
this county. Mr.. L. G. Curtis, a
representative of the company, has
gone to Memphis to attend to sell
ing the cattle. They were In fine
condition when fhey lett here, and
no doubt will command the highest
market price.
The papers published in Jackson
and Union City have been engag-
ing in some silly pickering of late
as to which of the two places do the
biggest business and have the best
promise for future greatness. Both
are flourishing towns and there is
plenty of room for both to prosper
In view of what has been said we
were gratified to find the following
in the Union City Our Country of
last week. 1--WE congratulate. Jack
son upon the interest her citizens
seem at last to be taking in her fu-
ture prosperity. Nothing helps
town more than manufactures, and
with the fine lands which surround
Jackson there is nothing to keep
her from becoming large city, if
the proper enterprise is shown in
the manufacturing en-
terprises she is capable of.
