Vi'hile in Nashville recently, on n flying
trip, we came across a number of Maury
('unity gentlemen doing business in Unit
rty. They seemed to be djiltg well, wliich
is eiiariiete;'hilicoi men from our county,
First, we stumbled upon Pitts Dobbins, of
the linn of Turner, Dobbins v. Bryuii. Pitts
is a smart, young man, full of vim, and of
tine attractive business qualities, us well as
a very fascinating lady's inau. M'. I-airy
says Pitts gels ou the good kida of all the
gills. Lower down, we eanie across the cot
ton and tobacco house of Gordon Pro's :
Aluerson, where our clever friend, Joe Fos
ter, slays. On Broad Street , we met our old
friend, II. A. Hardison, and near bv, Major
J. F. Gray and It. Gooeti, two excellent
Maury men, am' W. J. IlureUsno, forming
lite stai.tieh nrm v. Rtrei-s A: Fain. Mr, JJy.
er. of the H.rii., is also from Maury near
'.t'.lamsport. Lower down, our name was
called by our olt( ix.inrade and messmate,
Jas. A. llajiey, alesinaii for Sorry A- Mitch
ell. AH ot these firms seem to be deiitfg
well. They all saiel business men were
looking up, untl times getting better. A lew
doors south of Broad Street, on College, lye
ente'reel the house of George J. Goodrich A
i o., and were shown into nil elegant busi
ness ollice. This tlrni has one of the linest
looms for storing cotton we ever saw it is
very, very large, dry and clean, and the first
floor above ground. Mr. Goodrich, is one ol
tho best colttm liien in Nasltvllle. uud sold
ubout av much, as any other firm in the city
last year. He has a lot of cotton on hand,
the best bale being nal net I Tilden." of
course we called iu to see R, Dormaii, lite
great music ir an, or rather dealer iu musi
cal Instruments, sheet music, etc. We f oil ml
him cheerful and in line spirits; said busi
ness was never better, and that ihe demand
lor pianos, and especially for organs, wius
Increasing iamily parlor not considered
furnished without an organ. Has sold -tnu
pianos and as many organs this year. This
is all an evidence Unit, times are getting bet
ter. He sells Chiekeriug, Bradbury, James
it Halseytow n, Grovesleen tV Fuller, Stan
ley tfc Sous, anil others. He has slxdillerent
make of organs. Tho day we were there he
had received -even new pianos anel shipped
3, to 1111 orders. He sells pianos in Ken
tucky and Oiiio outselling ail competitors,
up there, by reason of freights, etc. He re
cently sent a piano to Texas lo 1111 an order,
to a man who hael to haul it L'T.'i miles In a
wagon. He also sent one to San Francisco,
anil an organ to John Shirley Ward, in
California. Surely R. Doruian is one of the
greatest music men In the South he Is an
Institution In Nashville. He has the best oi
everything lu his line, aud will lot you
have it at the low est possible price. Call on
him. Nashville is the legitimate business
point for this section. It contains men we
all know reliable, trustworthy, honest,
substantial, capable, experinced men; many
of them having gone from our own county.
Our County fair.
The twentieth annual Fair of the Maury
Couuty Agricultural Mechanical Horticul
tural and Live Stock Society, was inaugu
rated on Tuesday lust.
The weather was delightful a slight
shower Uie night previous, layed the dip-t
ou the Fulr Ground, and cooled the atmos
phere; indeed, every thing was most suspi
cious lor a charming occasion, but we are
sot ry to say that the ul tendance was very
slim on the two Bret days. We are very
sorry to see our people so lndlti'eieut lo au
enterprise, which, if properly appreciated
aud heartily pulroni-.ed by them, would
add so much to the wealth and develop
ment of the country. Maury County is un
surpassed Ln Its ability to grow rlne stock
and all kind of grain and grass crops. Na
ture has done her part most amply, anil il
only needs that her people should appre
ciate and avail themselves of lier generosi
ty. The ring of Jack aud mule stock was
very creditable, anu some very fine uul
muls were txhibiteef, aDd the eAhibilion of
blooded hogs was peculiarly fine on the lirst
day. showing that our stack-raisers uro go
ing back to their old love, Ou Ihe second
dav, the linest display of Shorthorn untl
Jersey eaHlu thai we huve ever seen, was
made, and also, some superb Southdown,
andCotswoid Sheep. Now, us we know
that there is a groat demand for t his class
of slock, especially ihe lust named, it is
somewhat surprising that there was not
more Interest manifested by those wanting
such slock. We are almost forced to the
conclusion thut the gentlemen directors
have lieeii too eootiouiioj.il in the use of
printers ink. We very much hoie that the
coming days of the Fair will show a vast in
crease in the attendance, and that in our
next issue we may lie able to record a most
satisfactory result of the Fair.

When the Nashville train came down, a

even a synopsis of the speeches ou the oc

Gov. Isham G. Harris w:s loudly culled

hoarseness. Now John M. Bright was in
IriHiueeil and made a long, able and elo
