Franklin Democrat, Aug. 1865
Nearly all the members of the 37th Regiment who enlisted from this county have been mustered out and now at home again, dressed in their citizen suits, looking like civilians.
They have found in many a battle, enduring many hardships, and seem to enjoy the pleasures of sweet peace and the joys of home.
The Franklin County boys of the 68th, who first went out with the regiment have also returned and o'er this are all deeply engaged in peaceful pursuits. There are now but a few more to return and before many months, Old Franklin will welcome home the last of her surviving sons of 'Mar.'
It is pleasing to see how readily and how naturally they throw aside the habiliments and character of warriors and resume the duty of private citizens.
The Railway
Laborers in small numbers are already at work constructing the railway to this place and we understand it to be the intention of the Company to push the work along with all possible dispatch.
Corn
Corn in this section is a very uneven crop. On the bottomlands it looks remarkably well, while on some of the uplands it is short, yellow and beyond hope. Upon the whole, in our opinion, if the fall frosts keep off long enough, we may have a fair crop of this staple.
