This is good weather to get land |
ready for wheat sowing. The price
is not likely to get much lower for
several years than it is at present,
and if the land is properly handled
and fertilized it will pay to raise
wheat in Warren county. 1t will
pay better to put in ten acres well,
than twenty acres half way put in
and not fertilized. ,,., t.,,.t,.
Mrs. r. A. Bridges left Wednes,
day afternoon for Gallatin, where she
will spend a few days with her
daughter, and then go to Louisville
to buy her fall stock of millinery,
dress goods, notions, etc. She will
be absent for week or ten days, and
will hunt up everything that is new
and fashionable in her line. . va.
Hon. HI. O. Snodgrass has been
mixing among his friends here since
Thursday morning. He has made a
thorough canvass of the eastern end
ofthe district, and reports compact
organization of the democratic hosts
up there. He leaves this friday
afternoon for Woodbury., where he
will speak tomorrow. 70 f"
Collier & Arledge are now offer.
ing their entire stock at greatly re-
duced prices in order to close out.
Mr.. Collier expects to remove to
Texas. In view of this all of their
old accounts must be closed up at
once, and they request every one hav-
ing an account on their books to
come in and settle Immediately.
1T is astonishing how much new
life a few Tennesseans can throw into
a town in a short time. Messrs. Will
! H. Magness, Jr., and Jas. S. Doyle,
of this place, only took charge of the
bank of Alfalfa, Ala, about two
weeks ago, and we notice from our
Birmingham exchanges that the
Mayor of Alfalfa has already issued
proclamation extending the corpo-
rate limits of the place so as to include
Gadsden and one or two other towns,
} several iron furnaces, and about 30
miles of railroad track. If our boys
would call down few reinfOrcements,
probably they might scoop in Birm-
ingham also.
