Last week it was our pleasure, in company with friend MCCARLEY, to visit the thriving town of Saulsbury. While there we were honored with the attentions of the good hearted gentlemen who compose the “Saulsbury Cornet Band,” and had an opportunity of listening to the “harmonious sounds” that issued from their beautiful instruments. The Band is composed of the following persons: T. C. SPRIGHT, president; J. K. GLENN, leader; M. G. HALL, secretary; W. J. HALL, H. E. HALL, Blake HENDERSON, William LOUIS, Matthew MOORE, Guy SMITH, Fred HART, and Daniel ELLIOTT, all of whom are duly infused with the spirit of kindness and liberality so well known to pervade the excellent community of the locality above spoken of.
While in Saulsbury, for the first time, we were made aware of the large amount of business transacted there, and learned from an unquestionable source, that the books of the M&C R.R. would show that more freight was shipped from and to that point that any other between Memphis and Huntsville, Ala. As we were treated so kindly by the Saulsburians, we intend to call again, and hope that they will remember us when in Bolivar – our latch-string is on the outside of “ye sanctum” door.
