is Low in full blast and the grand
State Fair at Nashville will open
next week, Those of our people
who wish to attend can get reduced
railroad fare, and find at these fairs

MIR. l. B. Austin, who lives
four miles southwest of Bolivar on
the old Knight farm, brought to
our Office last Friday four mann
moth ears OF corn, weighing seven
pounds. This shows what hard
work will do. The land upon
which this corn was raised has been
In cultivation for years, and every
body thought was worn out. Mr..
Austin came to Hardeman about
one year ago from Michigan. he
saws we can raise better corn here
than in Michigan and that this is
the easiest country to make money
IN he ever saw.
Rev, Frederic Howard, OF Jack
son, preached the opening sermon
at Unity Association in East Har-
deman last week. Great dissatis-
faction was manifested and a num'
Der of the churches represented
withdrew to join different assOcI-

much to be regretted, and the
BULLETIN sincerely hopes that this
grand denomination may not bt
| further harrassed by internal strife
and schism. Towards libel suit
it will be remembered, brought grea
scandal with it. If he is an IN
worthy preacher, no stain on TIM
account attaches to the church
which numbers among its minister
some OF the grandest men now liv
ing.
