Gallatin Tennesseean The pres
ent outlook for farming is gloomy.
Nearly all the farmers are behind
with their work, especially so with
those who failed to break their
ground in the fall. The weather
has been so unfavorabfe since the
first of January, that it has been
impossible for them to prepare the
land for planting their crops. A
great deal of land is yet unbroken,
and the continued rains will make
everything late.
Murfreesboro News: Messrs. c.
L. Roberts 4 Co., sent General
Hirsch to the, cotton regions of the
South with q car load OF the best
medium sized mules we have seen
lately. The General is the man to,
sell a good car OF mules. The
same parties shipped also two other
car loads of very fine mules, and a
Car of horses, to the Southern mar
kets. Among the horses were sew
eral nice steppers.
Fayetteville Observer The rails
ing of mules has increased steadily
in this county, until now it is Of DO
mean proportions, but to the con-
trary, is one of the leading enter
prises of this country. The fame
of Lincoln county mules is not con-
fined to this "pent up Utica" but
has extended to the "land Of Hep
sidam, where the lion roareth and
the whangdoodle mournetfi for its
first born"
Bolivar Special: Bolivar has
inaugurated manufacturing boom
by raising $4,000 capital stock to
establish slack barrel stave factO-
ry. The money is all subscribed !;
we are only waiting for an arrange
lnent for satisfactory rates with our
railroad, which, we have no doubt
we will get, as the Illinois Central
proclaims it to the world that it
will encourage all manufacturers
ON it's lines.
Nashville American: The title
of Hon. b. A. Enloe'S address,
which has commenced to attract
such attention in the State, did not,
it seems, originate with him. 1t
was originally IAN address on d.
versified farming" but the Sheriff
of a certain county in West Tennes-
see, when calling up .crowd for
Mr.. Enloe, announced, o, yes! o,
yes Mr.. B. A. Enloe will now de-
liver a "diversified address on
farming" etc. The transposition
was at once adopted by Mr.. Enloe.
Brownsville Democrat: The
union revival meetings going on at
/ the Methodist church are said to be
the most glorious that ever occur
red in the history OF Brownsville,
even surprising in their results the
great Teasdel revival of the last
decade. The number of converts
to date is about seventy-fve, inclu-
ding large majority of the young
men OF the city and surrounding
country. In fact, only about half a
dozen are left in the ranks of the
devil, and they are beginning to
feel rather lonesome.
Memphis Special: About four
weeks ago Lewis Scott, hailing
from Atchison, Kas., married Mrs.
Minnie Gregory, of this city. The
newly married pair lived in a per-
feet heaven of bliss for about ten
days, when Scott was, as he says,
called away on urgent business.
Nothing was heard of him until
to-day, when the Clerk of the
County Court received letter from
the Chief of Police at Atchison,
who informed him that Scott was
wanted there for bigamy, having
been recently indicted for thatof
tense, as he has two wives residing
in Kansas and another in Missouri.
The Memphis lady was his fourth
victim, with other States yet to
hear from.
Dickson Press Solomon Snaf-
f1etree, snake hunter from Slow
down Switch, out on the "Narrow
Gauge" invaded the priv acy of
our sanctum, yesterday, and gave
us the why's and wherefores of the
wretched weather we have expert
enced of late. He fearlessly stated,
and defied successful contradiction,
that the End of February was so
clear that the grounding cast
double shadow, and consequently |
we have to endure double quantI-
ty of bad weather, for the six
weeks that this weather boss leads
a secluded life. Well, if Mr.. s. is
correct, thank fortune that week
or ten days more will end the
grounding business, and then we
will have-but let's wait and see.
