RETURNS FROM SOUTHERN TRIP.

\C. L. Parks of near Surrey returned Friday from a ten days trip to Tennessee. He was at Manchester and Dickson. He met D. W. Shields, Ira Gay, dnd Wm. Noland, formerly of this vicinity, and they like the country there fine.jQrops such as wheat and winter' oats look fine, fruit was in blossom and garden making was in order. Stock had been turned out to pasture. Mr. Parks was quite favorably impressed with the country and will probably buy one of the farms he looked at there, and expects to spend next winter there. Hand is very cheap, good land that needs a little building up, selling at $6 to $lO per acre. While in the south Mt. aPrks visited two or three of the old battlefields of the civil war, including the national cemeteries at Murfreesboro and Nashville.
