SOME of the members of the gen.
eral assembly are very severe in
their criticisms Of Gov. Taylor on
account of his vetolng the Moody
bill. If these members had remain
ed in Nashville and attended to
their duties instead OF going off to
Washington to see a republican
president lnaugurated or to New
Orleans to mardiGras, the laws that
they have enacted would not have
been in such a muddle and per-
haps Gov. Taylor would not have
been put to the necessity of vetoing
the Moody bill. Certainly there
would have been no necessity for
another session in May. AS long as
the session will convene, however,
we hope the members will be kind
enough to let the people know what
laws have been enacted.

would be a great benefit both to the

courage the farmers to raise more
wheat which could be ground into

ever, that where clover can be rails
ed, wheat can also be protitably
cultivated. Let us get up a stock

The Methodists and Baptists have been
the pioneers for century. and carried
their religion into the wilderness and es-
tabliHhed civilization. They rode mules
and drove OK wagons and cleared the
land and built log churches, and when
everything was sorter comfortable the
Presbyterians came riding up in their
buggles aud rockaways and settled among
them and planted out shade trees and
rose bushes and built a church with a
steeple and set up the shorter chatechism
and predestination and moved around as
though they were the elect. BY and by
when two or three railroads were built
and the shade trees had all grown up and
the green grass was growing all around
and around, and the streets were macad-
emized, and an operahOuse built, the
Episcopalians came along in apostolic
succession, with stately steps and prayer
books and Lent and MaIdi Gras all mix
ed up together, and they bobbed up Sc
renely into a fine church with stained
glass windows, and assumed to be the
saints for WHOM the world was made in
the space of six days and all very good.
And so it is all RICH all round, for folks
are different and cant help 1t, and what
suits some don't suit others, and the rule
is to be liberal and tolerant to all.-Bill

FREQUENTLY the question is ask
ed will railroad running from Boli-
var TO the Midland benefit our
town. That it will pay in many re-
spects is easily proven. The saw
ing in ireights and fuel alone will
repay us for constructing said road,
TO say nothing of the inducements it
will offer TO come here and estab-
lish manufacturing enterprises. We
have the cheapest lands in the south,
capable of producing almost any
thing. Within a radius OF fifteen
miles Of Bolivar can be found some
of the finest bodies of timbered lands
in this section of country, that are
for sale and can be bought cheap,
in fact so cheap that we viii not
give the prices. The proposed road
will give us an additional outlet and
enhance the value of these lands
one hundred per cent. We are
confident If the road should be built
from the Midland to Bolivar it
would not stop here; but go on to
Henderson or Corinth, or perhaps
connect with the Ship Island, run
nlng north and south, thus giving
us two great trunk lines. We
would then be in direct connection
