Where to Emigrate and
Why.

We have endeavored at various
times to show that Lincoln county
10 the place for an honest, industri-
Gus, emigrant people. We say
we want an honest, industrious
people, because we have had some
of another character. We have
had some accessions to our popula-
ton, that came for the sole pur-
pose of making money, and were
not particular as to their means.
We believe all of that character
have gone; and it was for their
own as well as our good. We oant
no more such people. We want no
more who come to stay as long as
they can swindle and steal in safe
ty, and who find it necessary gen.
orally to leave between two suns.
We want people who come to
LIVE with us; who come with the
intention of making this a home,
and who are willing to labor for
an honest living, just as they
have to do in Ohio, Indiana, Penn
sylvania, or New York. To such
we say, youwill find chivalrous,
generous, and social people, rich
and fertile soil, nearly all the pro-
auctions from Maine to Texas, re-
spectacle schools, and an album
dance of room to labor.
We know that some Of the citi-
Gems of our sister counties doubt.
less those who have lands to sell)
industriously keep the report afoat
that Lincoln county is dangerous,
that rebels and Kuklux keep up a.
reign Of terror, and that the laws
are not respected. This was a
strong rebel county, but we will
record one single fact, which ought
to set these lies at rest for ever
Some of those who "wore the blue"
all through the late war, are now
and have been ever since the war
citizens Of the county, and have
never yet been troubled or had
cause to fear trouble. There have
been some lawless deeds in our
county, but each deed can be
traced to old feuds and personal
hatreds between the parties them
selves, rather, than to any polit-
ical or sectional difference between
them. If any party interested
doubts anything we Rave said or
may say for our county, we simply
ask that he come and judge for
himself. Some persons have come
to Fayetteville and hurried off af-
Ter a day or two; these of course
know nothing of us or our county.
We only ask long enough stay
Tor fair investigation.
Lincoln county is the border
county on the South of Middle
Tennessee, directly South of Nash

Rice's Combination Minstrels are still in town !,
and all who have not heard them should not fail
to go and see them to night and tomorrow night.
We heard enc Of our sober-sided citizens say he
never enjoyed anything SO much, or laughed as
heartily in his life, and what is better than 3
good laugh these times. To say that the delinea-
tions and soul-stirring impersonations Of Billy
Rice and the ballads Of Kidwell were all that
fancy painted them, is but to repeat the express
sions of those who witnessed them. There is
nothing performed which could wound the feel
ings of the most fastidious. The sLArleW and
spas dc Facination of Miss JULIA MAEsu, as
she stips it the light fantastic toe" put us in
perfect ectacies leaving us no room for expansion,
minus the loss of our vest buttons. Charming
were the Songs Of the bewitching CRIssIE MoRELI,
SO fascinating and ench anting when 'winking at
me,' that we were unable to stand the pressure,
consequently we subsidized. Our devil says it was
hugely "magnolious," and can assure his nu-
merous admirers that nothing occurred to mar
the suavity of his tender 'spheelinks."
We need hardly say that all the attaches Of the
Combination are gentlemen of the first water
The business manager, Mr.. Lafon-a ''type of the
craft''-knowns how to cater tothe wants of the
public, and can we assure him that wherever his
lot may be sscast," he has the best and kindest
wishes of the printers. Go and see Billy Rice.

HOW CHILLY THE EVENINGS IN OCTOBER
This common remark, yet how few think Of
the danger of exposing themselves to their infu-
ence! In all low, marshy localities Ague and Fe-
yer prevail at this season of the year. In this
disease there is invariably more or less derange-
ment of the liver and digestive organs. The rem
edies usually resorted to have reference to pre-
venting the paro1ysm or breaking up the chils.
If this is effected without removing the cause, a
relapse is inevitable HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS strike directly at the foundation of the
evil, by acting on the liver and correcting diges
ton The cause being removed, the paroxism
will cease, and the chills cannot return. When
the patient is weak and debilitated, the BITTERS
should be resorted to- as they will strengthen and
tone the stomach, allay all irritation, and
infuse renewed animation intothe hitherto droop-
ing spirits, without entaiing the danger Of reac-
ton.
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is truly
preventative medicine, rendering even the fee
blcs frame impervions to all malarious Influences;
and, as stomachic and anti bilious medicine it is
incompatible, and no one who values his health
can afford to do without it Fortify the system
with this inestimable tonic and invigorant, and
the ssChills of October Evenings will have no
terror for you. oct At

LIFE AssuRANcE.-The Southern public seem
little aware of the gigantic strides Of these lnsil-
buttons among the thrifty people of the New
England and Middle States. Their keen percep-
tions were not slow to perceive the immense ad-
vantages Life Insurance Companies offer to all
classes-rich and poor-for investments, and es-
pecially for the support of families after the busy
brain and skillful hands of the husband and
father have been laid aside by the relentless
sickle of DEATH In Massachusetts, it is said by
the State Insurance Commissioner, that it is rare
to find a mechanic or laboring man who has not q
policy of insurance on his life for the benefit Of
his family. The wealthy Lawrence left 900
to his family in Life Insurance Policies, and sew
eral millions of dollars were last year distributed
among the families of the laboring classes of
New England by these truly benevolent institu-
tions. We are happy to see the subject agitated
among the people of the impoverished South.
The bercaved family of the lamented Leutze has
recently received $4,000 from life policy.

thus place his family beyond the reach of want
and the uncertainties of business?

A THOUGHT FOR BUSINESS MEN.-For want OF
Judgment or perseverance, some modes of adver-
Using are nearly as bad as none. But it may be
laid down as rule that money spent in judicieus
advertising by business men, invariably yields
sooner, or later, four-fold, and sometimes one
hundred fold Some advertise for short time
after they commence business, and think itsuf6-
cient; others neglect advertising after they have
established perhaps Rourishing business This
is mistake The changes SO rapid in the
country, and the public mind is 50 constantly
occupied by the applicants for its favor, that
to be out of the papers, where everybody seeks
for information, is to be forgotten. The newspa-
per is becoming more and more a necessity as an
advertising medium. No man is wise who under
takes to do business without availing himself OF
its advantages.
