and bamboo pole?, jointed rods; lines of
silk, grass and linen ; reels, bobs, artificial

the fishing business, for sale at wholesale
and retail. At Veal's is the place to get
the well knowu genuine Virginia books.

An intelligent citizen, who is also a
member of the county school board, has
been traveling a good deal among Chat
tooga farmers in the last week, and makes
a sad report of the condition of things.
His judgment, based on observation, is
that the trying times of '66 are being re
peated in some parts of the county. Our
lemark last week about a “corn famine”
is no exaggeration; and readers will be
lieve it true when we add that some far
mers are forced to feed their stock on
green wheat—their corn and fodder are
gone, no money in sight, and the mules
must have something to keep them up
during plow-time. The person to whom
we refer is utterly disgusted with the
hallucination of cotton, and fully realizes
the mistake that our fanners have made-
He calls for a vigorous denunciation of
the all-cotton method of bankruptcy ; and
it is to be hoped that before another
planting time comes, farmers of small
means will have learned the much needed
wisdom.
Lately we have published some very
sweet letters from Texas. Now we beg
to present an extract from the Chatta
nooga Commercial: “We have been
permitted to make some extracts from a
letter of Mr. W. B. Parham of Mineola,
Texas, to his father in this city. Mr.
Parham is now employed as foreman of a
brick yard at $3.50 per day, but says his
position is an exceptionally good one—
the best he know of. Times are hard in
the Lone Star State, and have been for
five months past. There are too many
men for the work there is to do. Dallas
has 300 idle laborers. Bricklayers get
s2.soand common laborers $1 and $1.25
at Dallas, and pay $4.50 per week for
board. Men come in the yard daily, where
"Mr. Parham is employed, begging for
Ifojk. He has a young Englishman, a
good book-keeper and scholer, rolling dirt
for a living. Out of thirteen brickyards
in Dallas none are ablejto pay their hands
promptly. Altogether, this letter from
an old Chattanooga friend is cot calcu
lated to entice many from this city to
Texas in search of fortunes.
From Dirttown. —Mr. John Crawford
died of consumption on last Sunday night.
He was related to Rev. Mr. Crawford of
Dirttown. Funeral services were held
to-day by a clergyman ol Home, at the

A daughter of the Mr. Bagwell who
was some time since arrested and taken
to Atlanta, is dead.
The examination of Prof. Marshall's

Mrs. Speight, wife of Rev. Mr. "Speight
of Dirttown, was buried last Sunday.

▲ Level Headed Opinion.
To the Editor of The Ouiette:
There has been a great deal said about
kuklux and lawlessness of late, and a little
about picnio parties, and various other
things. It seems that every one has a
right to his opinion; why not Granvil to
his? So here it is.
If every man will turn his attention to
his farm or whatever his business may be,
and stick closely to it for about five weeks,
meanwhile saying and thinking as little
as possible about other things, Granvil is
of opinion that times will change, and
there will be a prospect for the bottom
cracks in many corn cribs to show less
daylight during the year to come.
June 4. “Granvil.”
From Bosque County, Texas.
To the Editor of The Gazette:
Your neat and interesting paper has
reached me away off here in Texas, and I
assure you it is a visitor that I hail with
much pleasure. I get more news from
one copy than I do from a dosen letters.
I wish to say a few words in rogaid to
Texas, through your paper, to my friends
in Georgia—l mean, when I say Texas,
this section (Bosque county), which we
call a portion of northwestern Texas. It
is situated along the Brazos river. The
soil is varied, embracing sandy, black and
other qualities, all of it being adapted to
corn, cotton, wheat, barley, potatoes aud
many different articles of less importance.
The land is divided between timber and
prairie—tire timber being confined mostly
to the streams which flow through the
county, and funishes sufficient fire wood
and rail timber, in connection with abun
dance of splendid rock that we have. The
higher land, and that remote from the
water courses being prairie, gives us a
fully supply of the finest grazing grounds
in the world, and reminds one of old
ocean spreading out in the vast distance.
Our seasons are somewhat like those of
Georgia, being near the same parallel of
latitude.
As I promised myself brevity in the
beginning, 1 will only note our present
prospects, and then close. The winter
lasted longer than eonmion, and spring
lingered to take a last and long farewell
of her predecessor. The clouds, too, seem
to be on the reserve, and have only given
us a few gentle showers; but sufficient ty
make crops hold their own ; and if we are
favored with a “ground soaker" soon,
there will be lack of nothing in our Lone
Star State.
If any of the people of the old State
have relatives or friends in this far-off
land, and wish to make them a present,
let them send The Gazette for one year,
and the favored ones will ever he thankful.
It is worth more than money to a man far
from home. J. B. Strange.
PoweU Dale, May, 1875.
The Picnic and Dance Question.
To the Editor of The Gazette:
I wish to reply to an article in the last
issue of your paper, sighed by a somebody
who “ Wants to Know,” you know. He
gives vent to impertinent questions that
are repugnant to the feelings of respect
able people. He allows himself too much
latitude for the severity of his judgment,
and reflects too savagely upon the young
ladies and gentlemen of our day. Mothers
(according to your ‘ knowing' correspon
dent) seem to be so steeped in ignorance
as to need awakening by this far-seeing
fogy of bygone days. ,
I tale no exception to his frowning
words in reference to taking the bridge
for a place of amusement; for indeed it is
not right to obstruct the public highway.
Although, as a fact, the picture he drew
is too highly colored, and by no means
the scarecrow he would represent it.
I was no participant in the bridge
pleasures of the day, but would have been
had not I found on arrival that the bridge
was selected for it. I passed through
without disturbance, and all stepped aside
in a quiet orderly manner. The mail was
driven through without let or hindrance.
While Mr. 0. W. Grumley was passing
over, the forefeet of his mule went through
a rotten plank—which same plank had
been a dread to me on former occasions
of crossing. The accident was caused
solely by the unsound plank.
Two men also passed through, each
aimed with shot gun and pistols. After
they had passed, Mr- F. C. Flournoy
quietly remarked that they “looked like
revenue officersto which one replied in
a low tone that they “were revenue offi
cers enough for him." They passed on
up the road, and discharged a volley into
the neighboring forest. These events are
all that transpired to give an appearance
of bad conduct to which you (Mr. Editor)
had reference. The day was one of very
pleasant enjoyment Some were singing,
some dancing, some playing, and some
rowing in a pleasure boat It was kept
up until the shades of evening began to
fall, when all dispersed to their homes.
I am proud to say that I was present at
the picnic of Bth of May, in the beautiful
grove at Mellville—and at that gin house,
too, which Mr. Want-to-Know would have
made notorious and its inmates oonsign
to eternal infamy. A great number were
gathered there from different parts of the
county, and some from Floyd. It was a
day long to be remembered by lovers of
genuine pleasure. At twelve o’clock a
bountiful repast was spread before the
people by Mellville's hospitable citixens,
which was partaken with keen appetite.
Afterwards, the crowd was very cordially
invited by Mr. John A. Starling, a prince
of generous souls, to the first floor of his
gin house, to dance. It was optional with
us. Some chose to remain in the grove:
others went to the gin. A grand feature
of the day was music and dancing, and
pleasure was sought in various ways. Old
men and matrons looked on approvingly.
Aife proper hour the pleasure-seekers
aujOtriuHl, wishing for another such picnic
in the same beautiful grove.
I have no desire to write myself into
notoriety, but prefer to remain quietly in
our rural nook under the shade ofTaylor's
ridge. In taking off the old man of other
days, (though he be unknown to us,) we
yet like and respect him. Young people
of our day have never envied his enjoy
ment of yore, when ignorance with some
was bliss, and it was folly to be wise. We
in all deferenoe think the young people
are able to take care of themselves, with
out having the principles of old fogyistu
thrust upon them —relies of days when
the chief sport was a regular jig danoe
(with a jug in the centre), and driving
oxen and going barefoot:
We hope, old man, that the hand of
time will deal gently with you ; and when
length of days shall make you tire of
earthly joys, and you be beckoned hence,
may you “ cross over the river” peacefully,
and rest iu soberness under the shade of
the trees.
June 7, 1875. Bismauk.
A Word or Two.
To the Public generally:
Some people busy themselves a great
deal about my workmen, because I have
some who cannot repair watches. 1 de
sire to state for the benefit of the public
that I have watchmakers as well as my
self, jewelers, clock repairers, engravers,
and tinkers. I have had men in my em
ploy for many years, whom I could not
trust to work on a watch; and it is no
evidence, because a man has worked In my
establishment, that he can fix watches.
Respectfully, Jos. E. Veal,
Watchmaker, Rome, Ga.
The Columbus weekly Enquirer is 47
years old. It was established by M. B.
Lamar, afterwards president of the Texas
