AFTER feeling the pulse OF
our magistrates last Monday,
the effort to induce the Coun-
ty Court to make an appropri-
alton for the Tennessee Cen
tennial was abandoned. The
opposition to it was almost
unanimous. The members
of the court are exactly corr
rect in regard to this matter.
They have no right to vote
away the public funds Of Har-
deman for any such purpose.
Of course, all Tennesseans
feel an interest in the Centen-
NAL, and are willing to
render any assistance possi-
BILE, in a legitimate way, to
contribute to its success.

Down in Tennessee.
IFoR THE BULLETrs.l
Then carry me back to Tennessee,
Back where long to be,
Among the fields Of yellow corn,
Way down in Tennessee.


There must be something partic-
ularly charming about state that
drew out such pathetic strain as
we find in one of the best of the old
fashioned darkey melodies, and
when the northerner, on these bri ght
crispy mornings in autumn, feels
the full force of that charm he tries
to analyze it.
The long, narrow state that IS
stretched out from the great smoky
mountains on the east to the broad
Mississippi on the west, seems to
have unity of northern vigor and
southern advantages. Northern and
southern crops do well here. 1t is
neutral ground for resources. Ten
nessee is rich IN forests of valuable
hard wood, rich In health-giving
properties of pure air and water and
rich in beautiful landscapes. This
is land of beauty and fertility; the
land of warm hearts and eloquence;
the dream-land of summer with all
it's delightful attributes; the land
where the plant kingdom never
sleeps; the land called in simple
terms the "South." The yellow
corn yields from forty to sixty
bushels per acre. Wheat and other
small grain yield an abundant har-
vest. Two crops of Irish potatoes
are produced in one season, while
sweet potatoes and all other vegeta-
bles do remarkably well. Grapes
grow in the greatest abundance that
can be produced. Peaches, plums,
apricots, apples, cherries, damsons,
ounces, and all other fruit can be
and are raised here; in fact nothing
is lacking to make this an ideal To-
cation for the progressive farmer.
| Tennessee farmers in the old days,
when help was plenty and many
owned large number of slaves, cul
tivated as high as one thousand
acres in one piece. This, however,
no longer proves profitable. They
find it pays to sell off all but one
hundred acres or so, and cultivate
that we'll. In consequence, farmers
wishing to locate In the Bolivar dis
trict of WestTennessee can purchase
valuable tracts of land at very rea
sonable figures.
Many farmers from the north and
west, having grown tired of the
ever present cyclone and blizzard
and seeking pleasant homes and
good and fertile land, have settled
here in Hardeman county. They
were welcomed with a hearty gooG
cheer, and they are pleased with the
surroundings.
There is no question but that the
Bolivar district is the best place fol
people from the north who are seek
ing homes in the south to locate

1t is learned that Mr.. Carmack

is expected that these parties will
move about from place to place il

investigation is completed. The de
positions taken tomorrow are in the
interest of Col. Patterson. Mr.
Carmack will not undertake to ge
any dispositions until the Patterson
side of the case shall have been al
in. Col. Patterson has forty day
within which to cover the entir'
territory. 1t is believed that h
will be able to complete the worl
within that time. After that Mr.
Carmack will have forty days within
which to cover what dispositions b
may think he needs to answer Col

close the case. The dispositions thu
taken will be laid in mass befor

HORSE SWAPPING DAY.

Horse swapping day comes once month
We're glad that it is over;
And those who got the best Of it
Will 1--we a month in clover.
Horse swapping day in Bolivar
Is sometimes quite exciting;
But as the day begins to fade
To some it's not inviting.
The vhiskey man awaits with Joy
The coming of the "swappers;"
A bc1miug smile adorns his face
As he rakes in the eoppers.
And when the day is over
The "swap2ers" mount their nags,
And homeward 60 a whooping,
Together with their jags.
1t is not a legal holiday,
As one I'D niger ''thunk;ii
Nor can we call il anything
But grand old monthly drunk.

A BAD THING TO SAY.

Mcdowell Recorder.
Governor Atkinson has set 2 decid-
edly bad precedent in endorsing on the
papers RENTING the fine Of a man
for shooting at the man who had bro
ken I'D his family, these words:
The only regret in the matter is
that HINES did not kill Hall. He ought
TO have done it. He tried to do it, but
his pistol missed fire. He shot the
scoundrel four times, and unfortunate
" did not kill him. Every man who
has a soul in his body Will agree with
me that he ought to have killed him
The Governor may have believed
that way, but he certainly ought not
to have given official utterance TO such
words.
