AN ESSAY on DOGS.

written for the "OId DeestricE sIsuIe.,,
Dogs are the most faithful friends
Of mankind. They are the truest, the
most devoted and their mute actions
ARE the expressions Of the love their
tongue cannot express.
Their have been many famous dogs
| in history, and the records are
crowded with the accounts OF lives
they have rescued from death i'm the
mountain snOwdrifts and from
watery graves.
But the dog that lie to be here next
month, to show his speed on the fast
est track in the world, ia the first 10
add to the pleasure OF man in the
harness.
In conversation with a gentleman
yesterday who has seen this wonder
full dogs performances, we were told
that Doc always proved TO be great
attraction. He said that bis speed was
moderated if any thing, and that ne
would surely surprise the people OF
Columbia with the speed he Will eX-
bibit. He is harnessed like pony,
and will take his position for start
like a veteran racer. No trouble has
ever been experienced in driving him,
and it is said that be cOquettes with
his antagonist, and just as he is about
to be passed he will plunge forward
and never fail to come first under the
wire

SIS Said"

"A yearling by Brown Mark 2:24,
owned by Taylor Il Shelton, Columbia,
is said to have trotted a quarter the
other day in 40 seconds
For several weeks we have seen
the above clipping floating along the
bright streams Of our exchange list,
like a water lily broken by ruthless
hand from its parent steam and going
quietly out to sea on the great ocean
of eternitY-as the sophomore has it..
We have refrained from comment;
but learning that the gentlemen who
own her have been very much wor-
ried by getting numerous letters from
parties who wish to purchase this
animal on the strength of this quar-
ter that she "is said" to have trotted,
we beg to say that though this colt is
promising and naturally fast, yet it
has never been asked to go quarter,
has never gone a quarter, and Its
owners don't know how fast it could
go. "Is saidn will soon be as rank as
barring accidents" and the whole
thing savors of coming from the
classic spires of Gallatin.

An Interesting Talk.

Mr.. Lloyd Cecil, of Lipscomb, one
of the most observing and best posted
farmers in Maury County, is just
back from a trip to Louisville and
other Ohio river cities. In answer
10 our question as to how the Lamb
business was doing, he replied:
think our Lamb Club is all right
and is going to do much good, but /
believe if we had tried harder, or
perhaps hadn't gotten into the field
50 late this year, we would have got
ten better prices. When l was in
Louisville Saturday, / inquired at
the stock yards and they told me that
lambs had not been quoted at less
than ~ this winter and spring. They
also told me that "a of one cent would
cover cost of shipping and loss from
Columbia to Louisville. | under
stand the GoOdlettsville Club sold
theirs, delivered, / think, in Louis
vile, at ~"
"What about the potatoes, Mr.. Ce-
cil? we asked.
"Well, sir, our people are making q
great mistake in selling so cheap.
The potato country of the Northwest,
or rather that part of it that L have
been in-Indiana and Ohio-has
hardly turned a wheel. They are
washed out and largely under water ;
have done no farming to speak of
at all; even in the staple of corn they
have not planted to any great eX-
tent, and they told me that the coun-
try would have to depend on us for
their potatoes for sixty days or more.
I would not be surprised to see pO-
tatoes go to $3.50 per barrel. My adj
vice would be to go slow before sell
ing cheap. 1t was pouring down rain
when l left, and but little gardening
had been done. l don't think our
potato crop is being sold high enough.
More than that, you will see that corn
will advance, too, if the bad weather
continues as it now is and has been
in the Ohio Valley
