Now that the winter is so near

at best, Remember the poor dumb
beasts that have to draw heavy
loads; and remember also that your
own safety an! your wagons, bug
gies aud hacks are Ienporjized ev-
erv time you travel bad road.

&C. II. Anderson, Esq, Chair
man OF the county court employed
Andrew johnson to repalnt all the
county bridges spanning Hatchie
river and doubtless the work viii be
Wen and speedily done. When
these bridges were built the cons
tractors specially requested they
should be repainted every two years
as it was necessary to their preser-
walton and prevented scaling and
rust. We are glad to see that the
authorities are so watchful Of the
county interests and desire to CONS
mend Esq. Anderson for his prompt
action,

DIR. Doris lives nine miles east Of
/ Bolivar, 10 a high hIllY country,
and the frost never strikes Yegeta-
ton i'm his locality until very late in
/ the season. Cotton blooms and the
| English pea bloom were also shown
us. Truly we have the grandest
country on earth, the 1st ofN OVEN
her and gardens bearing as abund-
| autly MS ia midsummer, Itstrikes
us that the doctor could realize a
| handsome profit from his land by
raising a market garden OF planting
an orchard.
"A promising industry on a
small scale has been started in Boil
ivar. We refer to the Shipment
Of butter, There are a number Of
fancy herds of Jersey COWS owned
by gentlemen living near town, and
from them are obtained the finest
richest golden butter, All over and
above what is needed for home con-
sumption is shipped to New Orleans
and some of the largest towns in
Mississippi where it commands the
highest price. The only trouble
is we cannot supply the demand.
We trust this industry may fostered
and improved. It beats cotton rails
ing a hundred fold.
The management at the asylum
has awarded TO the BULLETIN the
contract for furnishing stationary
and lob printing. We propose tC
do as good work and as cheap a.

facility and we challenge criticism

state that the policy Of the Officials
