The undersigned have formed partnership for the pur-
pose of inducing immigration to this section Of Tennessee.
Heretofore thousands of immigrants have been carried by
the railroads to their cheap lands further south Capt r.
H. Wood and other representative of Hardeman Coun
y, seeing what these people have met with in
claiming the waste lands of other localities, are fully sas
ed that this community will be compelled in order
its former agricultural prosperity to bring in peo
ple who will buy and reclaim the old lands Capt Wood,
in his talk to meeting Of the people OF Bolivar held for
the purpose of comforting with representative OF the Soath
Immigrant, stated that this county could be
claimed with the labor have. We will have to get
peope here quit At the solicitation of Capt Wood and
other gentlemen have opened real estate Office in Boil
war; for the purpose Of selling lands and locating mm
grants, We are in receipt Of letters of inquiry from all
parts of the country concerning this section of Tennessee
We have secured the of the Southern Immigrant and
other real estate papers, and have arranged with railroads

HAS the Commercial Ap-
peal, in indor:ing the candi-
dacy of the Hon. Josiah Pat=
terson committed the unpar-
dOnable sin? For some
cause it has lost caste with
many Of its e1stwhile supper
tiers. 1t is now advocating
as zealOusly as ever the free
coinage Of the two metals at
the ratio of Is to l, and in
every other respect pursuing
the even tenor of its way as
in by>gone days. NOtwith-
standing this fact a change of
sentiment in regard to that
paper has occurred, and GER
tainly not because of its con-
tinued advocacy of free coin
age. It is therefore presu-
mable that the casual OBJ
server will discern that the
transformation of sentiment
is because ofpersoua, prefer
ence. OF course the usual
charge, that Of being bought
up, will be promulgated by
the former friends of that
paper. fit were true that
it is no longer an advocate of
free coinage and only circu-
lated in the 10th Congress
sional District the appeal to
prejudice might have some
weight. But the truth is,
that paper reaches thousands
of homes not located in this
congressional district, and as
it has not changed in regard
to the leading issue, will
doubtless be welcomed out
side Of this district IS of yOre,
because such subscribers rec
ognize the fact that the reg
ular congressional committee
have the right to decide as to
the method to be pursued in
nominating candidate for
congress.

LAST week the BULLETIN
stated that it was loath to-
believe that the county exec
utive committee would ap-|
pend their names to an in=
strument not in accordance
with facts. The BULLETIN
has since ascertained that
there are numbers OF that
committee who knew moth
ing of the circular before
publication, though their
names appeared among the
names of others constituting
the advisory board. There
are those in Bolivar who
seem to think that a great
deal depends upon their eff
forts,at least they are taking a
very active part in the Car
mack campaign, which in this
country they have a right to
do. But it was not known
That there is a ventriloquist
Jmorg tAe number. HoWev-
or, il seems that one or more
possess that peculiar art, for
we see the county executive
committee giving advice, and
yet there are members of the
committee who deny having
made such a request of the
voters as is set forth in the
circular alluded to. Doubt
less the ventriloquist pos
sesses more power than ST.
mon, for it is necessary for
Simon to give the order be-
fore wigwagging begins, while
the ventrilOquist causes
Punch and Judy to do
his bidding without even con-
sulting or ordering them to
tumble to his racket. The

quests" admittance to the
next Punch and Judy advisory

Of course, the Nashville Sun will
admit none of these facts to its col
umns nor meet them in fair argu-
ment. 1t is only capable of seeing
through one cross eye, and it is in
capable Of dealing in anything but
unsupported statements and the repe-
tition of a single idea. Living in
an atmosphere peopled with de-
mons, dragons and red-headed Chi

that the poor, soft thing should
never miss an opportunity to be an
object of mingled pathos and ridi-
cule, Commercial Appeal.

EDITORS BULLETIN-The school
here, under the management of
Miss Ella Barham, of Toone, clos
ed last Friday night with an enter
tainment given by the school, as
sisted by the young people of the
neighborhood. The house was
tastefully decorated and was crowd
ed to it's utmost capacity. Three
fiddles and a guitar furnished de-
lightful music for the occasion.
Great credit is due each and ev-
cry one who participated in the
entertainment for the most admira-
BILE way in which they carried out
their parts. But we would like to
make especial mention of A. J..
Blair, who acted the part of an ed
ucated negro in "Fandango" to
perfection. His appearance on the
stage was enough to create rounds
Of applause, without his ever
speaking a word.
The protracted meeting at Pleas
ant Hill has been in progress du-
ring the past week and was very sue
cessful, we hear.
Misses Jennie and Bonnie Hill,
two charming young ladies from an
adjoining neighborhood, visited
Misses Priscilla and Fannie Marsh
Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. L. NJ. Patrick and son, Mr..
Robert Patrick, of Bolivar, visited
relatives at Glenn Hill recently.
Mr.. George Keller, Jr., passed
down the road late Sunday evening
in buggy on his way home. We
presume from his happy and con-
tented look, and the smile he wore,
that he must have carried his best
girl to Glover, and that she also told
him eyes" Be happy, George, our
best wishes are with you.
Misses Ella and Laura Blair who
have been quite sick with fever, are
at present convalescent.
The Glenn Hill Base Ball Nine
are quite Of the opinion that they
will not tramp ten or twelve miles
again soon for game with the New
Hope Nine, just for the purpose of
getting beaten. They have, howev
er, challenged the New Hope Nine
for a game and will play at theil
own grounds, one half mile south
of Glenn Hill next Saturday after
noon.

1860 have rival democratic
national gatherings met. In
1872 an element of the dem
ocratic party refused to sup

vention i'm Louisville, which
nominated Charles O'COnnor,
but that was more of a local
than national gathering, and
represented only an insignifi-

COTTON FACTORIES.
ONE WAY TO bring THEM TO FORT
WORTH.
A business Man Has Some Practical
Suggestions to OTer the Peo-
pie OF This city.

The effort of the Promotive league
oil mill and other Industries in Fort
Worth Is bringing much discus
sion to the surface and will no
doubt soon bear fruit. Business men OF
all classes are beginning to see the ben
eft to be derived from institutions OF
this kind in our midst. and are going
TO work In their usual energetic way
to secure II.
Speaking on these subjects yesterday
Mr. s. NJ. Fry, a member of the city
council. and one OF the representative
business men of Fort Worth, said:
I'm recent years the number OF cot.
ton mills In the South has greatly In
creased. and this too. In the face of the
fact that each succeeding year has
witnessed decline In the price of the
staple. But Notwithstanding the de-
cline In the price of cotton, the profits
OF the cotton mills have become larger.
All this IL easily explained when we
understand that as the raw material
becomes cheaper the cost of Transports
tion becomes very important Item.
and as matter of course the nearer
the cotton mill Is to the raw material
the less II has TO pay for Its transporta-
1t of it,"
Here In Fort Worth we have mag
niftccnt Held FOR q cotton mill. We
have all the requisite conditions to-wlt:
Proximity to plenty OF raw material
and to the consumer; we are nearer
the coal helds than any other distribut-
Ing point In the state; we are the great
est railway distributing point south of
the Ohio river and west of the Atlantic
ocean; we are far removed from other
manufacturing centers. and here Is
whore the low price Of cotton and the
matter of transportation cut very Inn
portnnt figures In the manufacturing
problem. This matter OF distance and
transportation charges constitute pro-
tective tariff in our favor more effectual
than any ever enacted by the govern
ment to foster Infant industries in
bleak New England.
II would suggest that we ought to
have a committee composed OF such
men rs Captain Sidney Martin. NJ, p.
Bewley. w. ]. Boaz, John +. Moore. H.
C. Burlington, N. Harding. Colonel r.
ID. Hunter, Captain Lloyd. ]. w. Spen-
GER and other practical business men
and manufacturers OF Fort Worth. Let
such committee visit some cotton mills
and find out all about them. how they
are paying and what 1t costs to run
them--in fact get all the Information
that suggests itself to our minds that
would be useful concerning the estab-
lishment Of cotton factories. II what
we see In the papers about them In
true they pay much better than banks,
and II never was much trouble TO es-
tablish bank here think IL a COM
mittee could be appointed composed OF
such men as have named, that upon
their investigation and favorable re-
port the money necessary to establish
a plant In Fort Worth could be raised
in short time. 1t is at least worth a
trial"

campaign of 1894. and by a close or-
ganization of every precinct in the
county containing any Republican votes
we were enabled to give the Hon. j.
Il. Schmltz of Denton, our candidate
for governor in that year nearly i've
times as many votes as polled for Hous-
ton in 1892 Notwithstanding the ( lot
we had the active opposition of the
black and tans' with another Re-
publican candidate In the field.
The above speaks well for our county
Organization, and It is to be hoped
that every member of the county exec
utiye committee will remain at his
post and continue to do his duty until
our next county convention. when we
can make a final report of our two
years in Office and have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that we have made q
good fight In a good cause.
Some active work should be done in
the near future. and 1 would thank
you to inform me by return mail

as chairman of your precinct. Also
make such other sugg estions as you
may think proper and for the general
good. Yours very truly.
