Captain Van, in crimson uniform,
headed the tournament In the amphi-
tbeater The fitting. however, was very
poor; and no ladies' ventured to exhibit
their equestrianship.
Pitching quoits, swinging and wheel
barrow racing filled gaps, and were quite
amusing. On the whole, the day was
very agreeably spent; everybody seemed
satisfied with the festivities; and oil who
returned on the train to Memphis think
the Park, when laid of into walks, and
beautifed with shrubbery, will be q
favorite resort with the best classes Of
society. The thanks Of the community
are at least due to Messrs. o Conner and
Mcclure for their enterprise, and they
should be rendered every assistance re-
quired to make their grounds an orna-
ment and credit to the Bluff City.

A HAN Pound shot This Meraing.
Workmen on their way TO make cat.
tIe-euard this morning found. about two
and a halfmiles from the city, man lying
close 10 the track Of the Mississippi and
Tennessee railroad. near Kerr avenue,
weltering 10 gore. He had been shot 10
the temple over the eye aud through the
body in one or two places. All the sssis.
lance the workmen could render the
wounded man was given; and passsn-
gers on the Sardis accommodation train
coming TO town stopped to tender what
aid they could; bat the poor fellow lin
gered only short time, and died in great
pain. He was dressed we'll, with
the exception of bis shoes, which
bore evidence Of the man having walked
some distance. The superstition is be
was mechanic on bis way TO this city,
and, being "hard up" had to travel on
foot. Coroner Samelson started at noon
TO hold an inquest on the body.
Kerr avenue bears o very bad name.
We are told thieves of every description
ipfest It, and watch for victims behind
piles Of old crossties. No doubt the
murder this morning was perpetrated for
the purpose of robbery.

How Is IT Pit is generally supposed
that if housskeeper wants to buy bar
rel of -four, fifty pounds, one hundred
pounds or barrel of sugar, keg Of
lard, box of soap, q few hams, etc., that
they must 60 to Front street to whole
sale house and buy them. Now, this is
all mistake. When you want pbysic
you don't go to lawyer; nor when you
want law go to physician; nor do you
go to dry goods house for groceries, or
grocery house for dry goods. The Front
street house keeps plantation supplies. If
you want few barrels of mess pork, a cask
of clearsides, few barrels of common
or medium -four, bagging, rope, etc., q
Front street house is good place to go.
But when you want family supplies-real
nice -four, hams, sugar, coffee, fine tea,
cheese, crackers, soap, lard-or anything
else nice, then 60 to the Main street fam
lily grocery, that makes business Of
supplying families, and get your sup
plies. Finnie & Buckham, 2S4 Main
street, will sell you goods better than
any Front street house. Apd if you
want cheap goods say so. They will
guarantee to sell as cheap or cheaper
than any one in the city-cheap rent,
small expenses and cash trade; no book
accounts, weekly or monthly. Try them

in which you say, in your issue ~.' e'e

said was this. After Mr.. Fitch was done
there were numerous cries for me. re-
piled that, if should make speech, ]
should wish to choose my subject, and
the subject of the discussion that evening
did not suit my taste. Smith was the
subject, and my words bear their own
inference. If Smith or anybody else
wants my opinion as to his fitness for
Congress he can get it by asking Imake
