This is to state that having made a
contract with the Columbia Herald
Co. to accept coupons-issued by them
in part payraeut of goods purchased
for cash, we fully iutended to take in
same ou plows aud potato planters,
but the State Agents having been
notified by our competitors that we
"were cutting and slashing prices"
on these articles, they notified us
that we must not accept coupons on
these goods. Will say however that
since the first of January the prices
on our celebrated Olive Chill Plows
have been reduced from 10 to 20 per
cent. As these articles form a very
pinali part of our business, we have
made them exceptions. All parties
having these bonds are sure to get.
what they nay on the fac, and will
save ten cents on the dollar by buy
ing their goods from us; and but for
the Interference of our competitors
we would have saved the farmers of
Maurv county this ten par cent on
their plows and potato planters.

Dr. Hobs' Sermom. Rev. Dr.
Hoss. Editor the Nashville Christian
Advocate, filled tbe pulpit at tbe
Methodist church here last Sunday,
and preached a sermon which for
power of thought and beauty of lan
guage can rarely be equalled. The
beautiful spring-like weather, the
large and appreciative audience and
all the surroundings combined pro
pitiously for ihe speaker, and there
was that perrect accord between pul
pit aud pew which alone make pos
sible tbe highest effects or eloquence.
It was however the eloqeuce of deep.
earnest thought and simple though
elegant Huglisb, and nolo! oratorical
pomp aud nourish, t rom beginning
to end the voice of the preacher was
hardly raised above the level of a
strong conversational tone, and at no
time was there auy very animated
gesticulation ; aud yet the attention
oi the audience never lor a moment
Utrgged. It was the triumph of a real
power, aud shows that, after all, the
average congregation appreciate ideas
aud earnest simplicity more than
mere words, however ornate, or atti
tude however dramatic. Love for
God was the theme, and tbe sermon
impressed its desirability and necessi
ty with a logic and pursuasiveness
none could escape, and noue, for tbe
time beiug at lea-tt, would willingly
have escaped. Dr. moss preached
another tine sermon ou the evening of
the same day, but, owing to the in
cessaut dowu pour of rain, the con
gregation was uulortuuately not so
large as in the morniug. It is hoped
by all that he can be persuaded to re
peat his visits olteu hereafter.
The Cumberland Presbyter
ians Celeuuatb. As is perhaps
well known by many or our readers.
the rourth day of February is the
regular anniversary of the founding
of the Cumberland Presbyteriau
denominatiou. it was organized on
the fourth of February 1810, aud is
consequently uow eiglity-oi.e years
of age. It is also a Tennessee plant,
for it was organized In Dickson
county, this state, at tne nome or a
regular minister iu the Presbyterian
church, the Rev. Samuel MoAdow.
It is one of the few denominations
therefore, that are native born. Tbe
services on Suuday were of an inter
esting character. Behind the pulpit
was a large picture of the old house In
which the denomination was begun
in the form or its first presbytery,
Essavs. speeches, and songs of the
oldest description, were the order of
the riav. both mornin? and nla-hL

. , Harris Amputated Hands.- '
In the Herald of Feb. 6th. the Edi
tor, unintentionally no doubt, made er
rors as pertains to the facta of the phen
omenon connected with Mr. Harris and
his detached members, lie says "Mr.
Harris complained of his hands being
buried in a cramped oondition. and
that if they were taken up aud adjust) d
to normal position very likely it woulu
afford relief."
I was the person, and not Mr. Harris.
who made the above suggestion, and
my recollection is that 1 did so after he
had minutely described the aenxation
of his amputated hands. After all the
facts of the above phenomenon had
been related to aud by Mr. Harris, he
saia: "i aou't believe in any bucn."
Thus vou seo. Mr. Kditor. you will
have to tax to a greater degree the
over you exercise in framing opinions
before you can entirely solve the he
notnenon on the grounds of accident
and imagination. It seems from the
verbage of your piece that you place the
sensational feeling of amputated limbs
ujo.l tue ground oi imagination.
1 presume mere is not an auheu lien-
ted work on Physiology nor a practic
ing M. D. who lor a moment douots the
sensational feelings of detached . iiium-
ers or the physical body. Aim they ko
urther, assigning a physical causi
(though I tliinic a vague o. ej for said
sensations. The reading ot your piece
lso madthe imprei.siou oii'my ininu
that 'you .always (.f the surrounding 1
uircumstauces would -admit) sol.e -al.
wun your novor, railing anu ever ready
cause "accident and iinauuiittioiiM.
I amot the opinion that vou have fro
queutly noticed a dog howiing while a
hell was ringing, I have. Why dossil
do soT ' What makes' the wiuuow-paiie
rattle whon it thunders?
In accoustics we aro taught that a vi
brating tuning-fork, will start ar.o.hr
ot tho saiuo number or piioh souihu.ik.
Why so? I am inclined lo think thai
your Kitolligenoe would debar you
irom giving "accident" or "iiuHHiiia
tiou" either as thu im mediate cause for
the solution of tho foregoing phenom
ena, if you "had nothing to predicate
another on." '
I think tho dog and boll have unison
rords tuned to the Kami tentioii.
Hence when the boll begin to ring thu
same loiilioiiou cord in toe ui g cutiscs
him to howl; likewise with ihe other
phenomena. '
As I am so intimately connected witli
the detailed facts as delineated by Mr.
Harris, 1 beiug the one who drew from
his lips the cramped condition of those
detached members, suggested the pos
sibility of their beiug buried in a
cramped condition, and If thoy were
placed in a normal condition he might
experience roliof; those who aro so iu
credulous as not to believe that the
cramped condition of those severed
mom Dors bad something to do with the
sousational feelings ot Harris, places
rue in a very superstitious light .before
thinking and intelligent people.
Now friends, if' believing in the ro-
storal of cramped, amputated niomtHirs
to a normal condition la superstition,
then 1 am frank to confess to you that 1
am greatly tinctured with superstition.
Iu as much as I hold that there can
be no faith unless predicated upon tes
timony, it would be well for me to pro
duce the witness upon whom I rely for
the faith I have in the matter under con
sideration. But before examining tlie
witness 1 wish to remark that men are
diuerently constituted aa regards de
grees of testimony (as well as a great
manyotner tumgsj (to carry . convic
tions to their minds. One example will
suffice. 'Ten apostles could believe - by
seeing Christ that he had arisen irom
the dead, out there was-one aouuting
Thomas who had to have the testimony
of feeling by thrusting his . fingers Into
the. wounded hands , and aide of the
t maculate Jesus.
Mr witness and grounds for belief is
some of the contents of a scientific li
brary, the wrltinga, A.' Wilford Ball,
P. H. i. L. L; and hia coadjutors.
Two examples out of the many will
suffice, lit. Air. Htark, Sherilt of Pike
county. Mo., had a broken arm ampu
tated py ur. riariieit, ana tne uetacneu
member ntirieu, as is nsuai in uon
cases. Mr. mark poinpiatnea or great
pain In small linger or burled ' member.
Dr. Bartlett was vailed in and believing
that such suffering might be caused by
improper burial or the amputated mem
ber, took it up, straightened the finger
adjusted the member in a natural osi
tion andreburied it, when .Mr. Htarks
trouble was removed;
2nd. J. O. Kidridge, of Hm Francis jo,
California, says. "Fifteen yearn ago I
lost a log aud it was closely packed, iu
casket, causing constantly, terrible
pain. A goou wire umtnown to me sent
a faithf ul servant to arrange the ampu
tated limb comfortably in anew and
larger cannot, i ne moment tne ieg was
bandied 1 knew it, and the comfort be
gan then and has never eoased."
Therefore I think I had ample evi
deuce to produce faitli in me that par
ties baviug amputated limbs were in
some way mysteriously connected with
their detached parts, llence I sugges
ted to Mr. Harris the possibility oi nis
being relieved if his amputated hand
should be plaaed iu uatural aud com
fortable condition. 1 believe the lacts
in Mr. H. condition verities the posl
tlon that "there is a sympathetic feel
ing between amputated ninus anu me
person from whom they were taken
that has a velocity equal to or greater
than 6le:trioitv." Therefore 1 think

In edition or Columbia Hekau,
dated February Gth, under the caj
isi UVu. 1 .. rw. , 1H imu.rt M Iu a
communication that has brought sor
row and regret to the hearts oi several
or the denizens or this community. I
venture the assertion, without the
tear or sucef fful contradiction, that
it is the universal verdict of the best
iKjonle who will patronize the school
at this place, that said communica
tion sboald have. been relegated to
the waste basket. It seems to me
that tbe Editor's better judgement
bould have thus consigned it.
If Free Lance mutt have a personal
newspaer thrust at Bivouac, (which
we thi'ik is bad policy to sav the least
of it) let him tlo it to his heart's con
tent; but why. In the name of com
mon sense, good morals, education
aud religion, must there be lopped
into that thrust the name of a good
ittzen, nnd any thing that is calcu
lated to depreciate the interest in our
antic p tted schools?
T. h. Wiliiaius is personated in caul
piece as applying for position as as-
istant teacher lu said school, trea
ianco - also charges by saying:
From objections that came to me
ueru day rrom all futrtcrn, I soou
learned it would be a step In the
wroug direction aud uu injustice to
he community to employ mm" (i.
Williams.) italics mine, lift mo
implify the two charges.
First: Williams applied ior place
f assistant teacher.
Second: Williams accepted the
position against tne win ana cnoico
f the patrons of the s.-hool.
We, in behalf or T.-'H. Williams do
most positively deny tho foregoiDg
allegations and demand of Free Lance
tue proof to verify his charges. row
reader, the issue is clearly made out
wid we are ready aud willing at any
tlmu to hear the proof in the case.
That part of the communication oi
Free Lance's which refers to Prof.
Williams, reminds us forcibly of first
ei son hugging second one witn tne
eft arm around tlie neck, showering
superficial compliments and deceit
ful kisses Into tne lace or second
person, whiic tho right arm of first is
shooting the second under the fifth rib
with injections of Brown sequard s
hlcxir of Lite.
Prof. Williams lias frequently said
to me and others in my presence that
lie would not tinder any circumstances
accept a position us teacher in tlie
school if a majority of the patrona
did not want him ; and he has further
said if he was not given a position as
tea'dier in the school lie would work
for the upbuilding nnd success of it.
To-day I made the loiipwlng propo
sition to Free Lance, one of the
school-director's of the li0t.lt district.
namely; for him to select one man
and 1 would appoint another one; for
the two meu selected by us In con
junction to take tlie census of the
patrons oi. the school I' lalive to our
differences, and If those two men in
thoir report would ay that a majority
of f aid patrons was opposed to Wil
liam as teacher in nail school, he,
Williams, would step down from and
out of the Professor's Chair lu said
school. But F. L. decline 1; saying,
I'll have nothing more to do with
It."
For the last few weens the prospec
tive Interest of our anticipated school,
which Is to begin its tirat term Mon
day the Wth day of February next, bas
been working in quiet anu riarmony;
but no doubt the communication
herein referred to will, for a short
time, create a few trifling riilles upon
its former quiet surface.
This is written without III win to
any one, and in order mat justice anu
truth may b meted out to all parties
herein concerned.
