Last Friday the water was drawn
out of the court house cittern, and
the cistern cleaned out. Puro water
is an important item and we were
flad to see thiH evidence of the atten-
tion of the officers to the good of the
people.
We acknowledge ourselves under
many obligations to U. 8. Senator
Coke for copies of the Congressional
Record, and alio for "memorial ad-
dresses, Life and Character of Gus*
tavo Schleicher.” published in book
form by the government.
The train, on the evening of the
7th, brought thirty-seven or thirty-
eight emigrants from Tennessee.
There were three families, Taylor,
nine in family ; Andrews, eight in
family ; Cozart, three in family,
and a joung man named Houston.
The were also seventeen people, men,
women end children with them. All
came from the same’ neighborhood,
about seven miles north of Lexing-
ton, Henderson county, Tennessee.
Mr. Taylor has rented the Farris
farm across the river. The colored
people will divide out on the farme
we suppose. All of them look like
good, hard-working people ; who
will muke us first-class citizens. They
are expecting one or two more fami-
lies to come soon. Let them come;
we welcome them.
Last Saturday morning the train
rolled out of fhe LeG range depot
with 500 balee of cotton . This cot-
ton was shipped by Messrs. White A
Bradshaw, John Scliuhmacher and
Wm. Ruppersberg. That looks like
business. We have plenty of work
and buiiuess here for everybody.
Here is the place to sell and ship
your cotton, and farmers throughout
the county should come to LaGrange,
their county seat, and givo Itac mer-
chants here a chance to show them
what will be done for them ic the
way of higbf prices for cotton, and
low prices lor goods. Gome ore,
come all to old LaGrange.
Four hundred and twelvo bales o
cotton were shipped one day last
week by the “Branch,” to Moody A
Jemison, Galveston. These gentle-
men should not allow their names to
be out of our advertising column*
when they are doing such a fine bu-
siness here. Give us an ad. and
you will increase the number or bales
to 500 or 600 in a day.
Every day cotton has been rolling
in, for the last ten days, from places
that never before brought a bale to
LaGrange. People have been com-
ing to LaGrange to sell their cotton
and trade who - would not bare
thought of doing so before the rail-
road came. They will continue com-
ing, because our merchants pay high
prices for cotton, and '■ell the best
goods at the lowest figures.

Mr. J.B. Lyon, agent for the Il-
lustrated Family Bible, with all the
bible library attachments, called on
us last Monday. Mr. L. has his head-
quarters at Branham, lie will re-
main at LaGrange for a while, and
canvass tho county this being tempo-
rarily his headquarters.
In our last issue we omitted to
mention Mr. John B. Carter as be-
ing one of the Railroad Committee.
He is too active a business man, and
does his part too well to be left out,
in naming others, hence onr men-
tioning the matter.
We are informed that Mr. John
D. Hunt while out bird hunting on
the 10th was accidently shot by his
■on. Thirteen No. 7 bird shot took
effect from his hip dowaward, making
a troublesome, but aot dangerous
wound.
Jake Wise, who shot Charbula,
bad an examining trial before J uatice
Baker on Monday, and waa admitted
to bail in the sum of $2500. In de-
fault of bail he was remanded to
jail. Charbula was living at the
time of going to press. The facts
developed on the tnal were about as
stated elsewhere.

much. Leaford Green (col.) has rent-
ed the place, and keeps ■ temporary

Last Friday the water was drawn
out of tke cistern, iu tho cjurt house
yard, and it was well cleaned out.
The fire eugiiie was taKen out, aud an
attempt made to pump the water out

work, however’ ou account of defect-
ive valves or other canses. Wo are
