A Very Profitable Industry.

Thru Mr. Ed Dietzel, we have the
privilege of reporting on the success
of Mrs. d. C. Maddox, of Number
Seven, in the poultry line. BY the
way, Mrs. Maddox is very kindly es
teemed as one of the very good wom-
en- of her community. crecited with
social accomplishments 40 well as do
nestle achievements. Mrs. Maddox
made q modest beginning last spring
with nine turkey hens and one tur-
key gobbler. On Monday she was
paid total of $414.26 by Mr.. Dietzel
for her crop of turkeys, having sold
"a few TO other parties, which made
a complete total of $465, as the out
come from the original investment.
The story is not told until it is stated
that Mrs Maddox has left nine hens
and one gobbler Sounds like Alad-
din's lamp instead of a practical APP
plication of farm industry. Mrs.
Maddox has lately invested in two
fine full-blooded bronze turkeys and
expects, if possible, to have a more
interesting report to make in the fu
ture

More Train Service.

Some very encouraging reports
seem to have gained currency COIL
corning additional train service on
the N, c. & st. l.. Ry. since the
visit of Messrs. Walker, Burdick,
Bratton, Bransford, Oliver and Smith
to Nashville and the conference re-
ported on the first page, which Calls
for a period of thirty days in which
to develop the facts in the case, our
committee has not been idle. Mr..
Walker has been to Louisville in con-
ference with the president of the l..
& N. r. r. with assurances that
counter propositions will have favor
able consideration. Mr.. Walker, it
is understood, goes SO far as to say
that the night train on the NJ, C. 4
st. L. Railroad will be restored or
its equivalent in the way of traffic
accommodations from Hollow Rock
to Hickman. The meeting in Nash
vile developed, besides the report on
the front page. the very important
fact that q number of the wholesale
,jobbers and manufacturers in Nash
vile, who were present on that &C.
casion, volunteered the information
that trade between northwest Ten
nessee and Nashville had been almost
entirely cut off on account of this
lack of freight accommodations on
the NJ, G. & st. l.. Railroad.
Some of the wholesale merchants
said that all efforts to maintain COM
merce between these localities had
been abandoned. The mail lists had
actually been discarded and nothing
is doing
Mr.. Walker and Mr.. Burdick, es.
pecially are making a business Of
this job and will keep at it until the
train service is restored or they will
know why 1T cannot be.
