Correspondence Of the Democrat.
Business is fourishlng 4. Cotton
picking constitutes the principal oc-
cupation Of the farmers. :. We have
had an abundance of rain lately, but
1t came too late TO redeem cotton,
which is somewhat short, though
better than expected /. The new
machinery of Mr.. Burrell Zachary is
now in operation and the hum Of the
gin from early dawn till close of
day tells that it's owners mean bust
ness. The Cleveland and Hen
bricks club which was organized at
this place two weeks ago, met last
Thursday night. House was called
to order by w. A. Baker, President.
After roll call and reading Of consti-
tuition by Secretary, the house was
addressed by S. C. Burgess, J.J. Rye
and DR.. Zachary. speakers for the
next meeting: DR.. Linzev, John
Scruggs and H. c. sapington. All
arc invited to attend. Success to C.
and III. SEMPER AMERICUs.
Correspondence of the Democrat,
! noticed an article short time
since in the Reflector Supplement
from one John o. Conner, u boy /
suppose in the back woods of X. r.,
from the ambiguity with which his
article is expressed. Now being a
philomath, and pregnant with phi.
lanthropy. l do not propose to phi
lologise Johnnie's article. but only
wish to offer some kind admonition.
l feel quite sorry and very much
grieved that the press and public in
general have been so irrespective as
not to give Johnnie's vision the pop
ular notice and discussion which a
boy of such meager opportunities,
and such augmented ambition justly
merits. Now gentlemen, because
Johnney has been reared to date In
the tobacco patches of lick skillet
township Of X. T., and a servant Of
the great organ of the B. Of F. is no
reason why he should not be the re.
cipient of the eulogy, praise and
commentator OF the great and the
learned. What raised Sherman from
the humble station Of shoe maker to
honor, fame and glory? What raised
Franklin from a printers boy to the
first honors Of his country? 1t was
this self same ambition. which will
no doubt raise Johnnie O. to the
Presidents chair if be only receives
the admonition and encouragement
Of the enlightened public.
Now Johnnie vision prognosti-
Gated is no vision. A vision is a
dream, phantom, something unex
pected, unlocked for, never thought
of,&c. Now you have told that you
and your aunt Pat would have some
interesting dreams and visions,
which destroys all the visionary
properties of your vision. Now
Johnnie, you have been badly treat
ed and sadly misinformed by those
who raised you, as regards your re
lationship to Pat. You say Pat is
your nephew, this cannot be, as Pat
is a woman of III fame, but l guess
you are Pats nephew. Now you
had better keep your relationship to
Pat quiet as long as you hold this
honorable position as agent for the
organ. You also say behold | aweke.
(but never did say that you slept, J
and saw Samuel &c. You say you
was on the steamer John Simpson
on the Cumberland river. Now
OOnuuiC, ac tuot was tuC III b'oe
you ever saw it may be it was a fit
you had instead OF vision. My
advice to you is, to send to the Rus
sellville Democrat and get copy of
that paper issued July 3lst, and the
vision by the Night Waterman will
give you more information on visions
than you and all Of your friends ever
did know. Now Johnnie, because
the Night Waterman is u man who
has been encircled with rare facili-
ties for preparing himself for cope
ing with the great, the wise and the
learned, and making great display
of the vivacity and volubility of
man, and hurting to naught yonr il,
iteracy, is no reason that you should
despair and fail 20 adopt MILL DEs
PERANDUM, as your motto. The Night
Watch is just what you may be by
proper study and unretiring energy,
and employing better teacher and
writer than the p. M. Now johnnie
o. / do feel great interest in your
unhuildinU and wellfure and esuac
