a famous race track, fast horses
being carried there from all over
the south. It was at Bowling
Greene that the last surrender of
iConledreate troops took place tin
'der General Breckenridge, after
the disbandment of Mr. Davis' chb
inct at Washington. It is a small
tural settlement, remote from the
i ail road, but ever noted for tho
high class of citizens that lived in
that section. A number of Ath
ens best and most enterprising
citizens came from in and around
BowUn^ Green®.
Mr. Hardy tells us that the well
into which a r.egro man threw the
body of his wife after murdering
(he woman, was in his fathers
yard. This hoxriMc tragedy oc-
cuired some forty years dgo. The
woman’s body remained in the
well until it btgan to decay, and
the Sunday it .was discovered hun-
dicd3 of people who. were attend
ing n big religious meeting, in the
town drank water from it. Late
In the evening, when the water be
came low, the bucket brought up
a rag which led to discovering the
body, which had turned white. So
thoroughly sick and nauseated
was the negihborhood that
well, noted lor its fine water, was
filled up.

little farm work has been done. A
great deal of land was left uncul

who owns 640 acres, tells us he
has but one hand o:i his place and
so had to let it remain idle.
We are glad to see Captain Bar
nett again on the street and look

live pounds in weight, but Rich

cently returned from a fishing ex
pedition near St. Marks, Fla., with
Mr. Billups Phinziy and other
gentlemen of this city. ‘ Captain
Barnett said he simply rested up

but other members of their party
