CULLEOKA.

CULLEoKA, Jan. l9.-We are at home
again after a most pleasant visit to rela-
tives at Robertson Fork and other points
in Marshall County. our visit was in
homes along that splendid pike run
ming through the pretty valley country
between Lynnville and Lewisburg. On
either side of the pike lay lands level
enough for any kind of machinery and
rich enough for any crop. Hills, some
Just rolling others precipitous, form a
beautiful background, preventing any
monotony in the scenery, The farms
are well titled and well kept, bespeak-
ing a prosperous, industrious people.
We saw great fields of cOrnstalks that
told of a rich harvest gathered in the
fall. The graSs-set hills told us of fine
stock, while the great woods here and
there promised comfortable tire5, good
fences, lumber, ETC. Yes, it is goodly
country and people, and "Barbara'
likes both.
Substitute" must have had a little
bird to tell her the news, or she is a
good guesSer, for she wrote a long let

leoka something attempted is usually

Will Calvert has accepted a position
as agent for Mcconnell IL Iamar's uur-
sery, and will leave soon for the South.
We were sorry to miss the visit from
Mrs. John Fitzpatrick, little Mary, and
Miss Lula Belle Corpier. We have read
several of Miss COrpier's poems and
prose productions and would be glad to
know that talented writer more init

BIGBYVILLE.

BIGBYVlLLE, Jan. lS.-Nale Belle!
We inadvertently failed to mention in
our last week 5 letter the recent extern
ton of the Citizens Telephone line to
this place, thereby bringing our citizens
in direct communication with nearly
every business house in Columbia and
several neighbOrhOOds in the county,
which fact, in connection with its cheap
rates, soon gained for the phone a pop
uiarity that completely overshadowed
that of the Belle, and caused the man
ayers of the latter 'phOne to remove
their instrument from the public office
here. The only objection to the Belle
was its eNtravagant toll rates and eX-
ceedingly small number of local sub
sCriberS. But now that il is gone, no
one seems to mourn its departure. Just
in this connection we take pleasure in
stating that the owners of the Citizens
line from this point TO Columbia cheer
fully tender the use of their poles to
the citizens of our neighbOring com
munities of Southport, Broadview and
McCains, should they desire to con
struct lines to this place and continue
their respective wires on to the central
office at Columbia. And now trusting
that the various correspondents of the
HERALD, throughout the glorious
county of Maury, Will turn their at
tention to this most important home
enterprise and lend their influence for
the advancement of its interests and
