amounting to $4,000. The men came
overland through the States. in small par

Instead OF Fastening to join the party at the

Lock commenced firing at them. There was no
other American in sight. He worked valanty
for ten minutes, bringing down one OF the enc

gun had been fired elsewhere by the Americans
The British, greatly disturbed by losing so many

and discharged a vOley of balls, which lodged
in the walls opposite Mr.. Lock remained IN

one way to escape, and that was through an or

leveed his gun at the man near by, dropped
the weapon, aud the man was shot through the

reached tie brink of a steep hill, aud throwing

THE REASON WHy.-Many of our Mer-
chants and business men are continually srowl
ing because large portion Of ths trade which
really belongs in this city goes to Jackson, and
other railroad towns. They need not wonder at
this The reason Is clear to our mind. The
business men of Jackson are enterprising and
vide awake. We ask our business men to look
At the advertising columns of the papers of that
city. Every prominent merchant in the city
sdyertises largely, and lets the community know
that be Is on earth, and prepared to do business.
livery prominent merchant in that city is buying
wool, and sdvertises it, to let the community
kno" the fact. Nobody knows whether our
merchants are buying wool or not, or whether
they have anything TO sell Our farmers coming
here to sell are compelled to take it for granted
Unless our business men manifest more enter
Prise, and spend few dollars annually to pub
isa their business. they will be oustripped bv
our more enterprising neishboring towns. We
cannot afford to advertise the business Of our
city gratis, or We would gladIy do it for the in
terest OF the place We must live. and in order
T.
bat, TO tell the truth, We are really panied TO
iook over our exchanges from other parts Of the
State, and notice how many Of thesa are crowded
with local advertisements, and then TO know that
our city papers do not contain line OF adver
Using from many OF the most prominent mer
CHATS IN our city. Shame on such pusillanimity
we shall never thrive and grow aud prosper a.
community until We exercise and practice NOR,
oil the principle Of live aud let live. We Ar,
conndent We could aid our business men and m,
prosperity Of our city generally, would thew al,
us, and thus be of mutual ADVANTAGE and Gain on,
to the other; but until more liberal iispositio
IS manifested by our business men. We mus, OK
peet to see our city far behind her sister town
IN business relations. Il is the faul. of our b,
