HOME testimony as to the excellence
Of home medicine is the best that can
be produced. In this connection the
certificate of DR.. R. B. Shore, a well
known and reputable physician residing
at Morning Sun, in this county, relative
to the celebrated Hungarian Balsam,
will be read with interest:
MORNING Sun, February 2. 1850.
Messrs. Mansfield Il Co.. Memphis;
GENTLEMEN / have always had dis.
inclination to use, in my regular prac-
tice, any medicine of which / did not
know the component parts; but | have
noticed, for several years, medicine
which you prepare, styled Hungarian
Balsam Of Life, for the cure of coughs,
colds, consumption, bronchitis, asthma,
and other affections Of the throat and
lungs, which has proved, in every in.
stance that has come under my observa-
ton, to be the best and most sovereign
remedy for these complaints ever knew.
can say with all candor that your
remedy for lung diseases is a very
superior specific, as well as a scientific
preparation, essentially different from
all others of its class with which | am
acquainted. / most cordially indoree
its success, and will do everything in my
power to make its extraordinary effects
known TO the public

SOUTHERN FREIGHT AND CoTToY
Press PANY.-The Southern Freight
and Cotton Press Company, of which
Mr.. j. Merritt, Of St Louis, is President,
has been too long established and is too
favorably known, to require any especial
newspaper commentator 1t has been
represented in this city several years by
Mr. John B. Weld, an old and esteemed
citizen, whose exertions have done much
toward popularizing the company. The
company has cotton press establish
ment in full operation on Madison street,
east of the bayou. Here are four
splendid presses, driven by new en-
CINE, which furnishes a quarter more
power than that in use last year. The
press can easily be reached, there being
Nicholson pavement all the way. An
advertisement elsewhere furnishes SOME
idea of the fast time made by this COM
pany in shipping cotton. We direct the
attention of shippers to it. The city
office of the agent, Mr.. John B. Weld, is
296 Front street.

PERsONAL.-We were pleased TO meet a
few days since, J. ID. OLCoTT, travelling agent
of the Grand Trunk d Vermont Central r.
Road. Mr.. OLCoTT is a worthy representa-
tive of this leading line of Railway. The
Grand Trunk is increasing in popularity with
Western men. Its safe management and the
courtesy of its employees have become pro-
verbal. The people realize the greatness of
this line of Railway, stretching as it does
from Detroit to Buffalo. and from Detroit to
Portland, Maine About 1000 miles are
operated by this Co. 1t is decidedly the best
route for people going to Northern N. York,
or the New England States.
= Our office was invaded yesterday by
three well beloved and healthy people who
proceeded to dispose of themselves in that
easy and familiar way, which looked as if
they had come visiting and were intending 10
STAY week.
They hailed from Chicago, a town in North
ern Illinois, which is connected with Lake
Michigan by an underground tunnel, and are
respectively know and severally belong to as
follows, to-wit, that is to say WRIGHT.
whose front name is "Sile," with Field, Lei :
ter d Co.. Dry Goods, the heaviest Mercantile
House in the West; and W. K SIDLEY, with
Keith Bros, Hats. Caps, etc and SAM. PIKE,
with Doggett, Bassett & Hills, Boots and
Shoes. They are estimable gentlemen and
worthy representatives of their several Hous-
IS. They carry in their faces satisfactory Gre
dentials of good character. and in view of the
benefits they confer on the people, Commits
sioner Rollins has exempted them from spe-
cial tax, and given them license for life to
travel anywhere in the United States.
Gentlemen, the door of this domicil is al i
ways open for you, and if you want little
| amusement. we will endezyor TO shoT you
the Jack of Diamonds.
P. S.-"SIle" Wright says he can make a
little lower figure on Dry Goods than any
other man in the Northwest.
