Information as will naturally interest
and attract their attention, and the
very fact of such manifestation of IT.
terest on your part in . the free and
liberal distribution of such informal
ton, accompanied with Il cordial, gem
erOus and neighbOrly invitation and a
friendly shake of the hand, viii go
far toward disahusing their minds of
the false impressions being continu-
ally and industriOusly made, by de
signing demagOgues and selfish
and INSCRIPTIONS land spectators
whose interests lie "westwartlly."
Bring them to- fully under
stand our superlative and in
comparable advantages over the
North and East and West combined,
and when once you have touched the
key note OF interest your work is
done; the " flood time then returns to
you with a hundred, yea, a thousand
fold, "the bread that you have cast
upon the waters"
You are ready perhaps to say that
this will all cost time, trouble, labor
and money. Yes, very true, and none
the less true that if you are unwilling
TO spend and be spent, that you are
neither entitled to, nor need you eX-
peet these things! A great public
benefit, the interests of a whole
community aggrandized, property vi
taliZed and enhanced beyond meas
ure; a strong, vigorous and healthy
pulSatiOn impaired to every artery of
trade and industry, and you and your
pOsterity to enjoy the benefits arising
from the ''spend and spent Of others
no less interested pecuniariiy, while
you refuse to recognize similar obliga-
tiOns and claims upon your time and
purse. No excuse shall be left any
who may plead want OF time, disin-
clinatiOn to the labor, or dislike OF
the trouble, as there are gentlemen of
reliability and of sound reputation in
this community, who are ready to
begin now and continue the good
work of preparing, publishing and
circulating Il pamphlet embracing and
covering all the ground, and whose
faith is SO strong in the precise adap-
tation of the proposed means to the
end as to propose to shoulder the en-
tire labor, time and trouble (without
other remuneration than that of the
fruits of their labors), provided the
community who are to be the imme-
diate and largest b~eneficiaries,
are willing and ready to place at
their disposal the sum of FIVE thOus-
and dollars, the actual cost of the pub
LEGATION and hand to hand circulation
of one hundred thousand of said
pamphlets and maps.

Mr.. Toby, President of the CITY
Bank, arrived home yesterday from q
brief trip to Nashville.
Gen. w. B. Bate, of Nashville.
arrived in town yesterday and is stop
ping at the Peabody Hotel. His
many friends in this section will be
glad to know that he is well.
The Decatur Times of Saturday has
the following: On Thursday last, the
President of the Memphis and Charles
ton r0ad-M. j. Wicks, Superintend-
ent w. j. Ross and party, were in
our city, and, as we understand, for
the purpose of determining upon the
ground to locate the Union Depot of
the Memphis and Charleston, Nash
vile and Decatur, and North and
South Alabama Railroads.
Mr.. NJ. D.. L. Stewart, Clerk of the
Circuit Court, accompanied by his
wife, arrived here yesterday from an
extended tour through the Northern
and Eastern States lie is looking
much improved, and is delighted
with his trip. He says the Democ-
racy of the North are jubilant over
our tennessee victory, and that they.
are unanimous for eX-President John
son for President.
Dr. Duncan, the well known hui
morist for some time connected with
the Federal army in this vicinity, has
been giving entertainments for the
benefit of "down-easters." The
MiddletOwn Comm Sentinel and NE
says the audience were highly in
terested and pleased, and at times
were deeply affected by his tender pa
thOs and thrillingly-told incidents.
Maj. Duncan feels the sentiment of
what he reads, and displays. n dra-
matte ability very different from most
professional elo~cutionists.

DEATH OF Mr.. JACOB SEEssEL.
In common with a host of friends we
regret the death of MI. Jacob Seessel,
youngest son of the well known dry
goods dealer, Mr.. 4. Seessel. He was
a young man of great promise, was
entering upon a life of usefulness, and
was characterized by many qualities
of head and heart that won for him
the friendship of a large circle. His
parents and relatives are deeply
grieved at his loss, and we are sure
have the sympathy of our whole COM
munity. His funeral was largely at
tended yesterday, the beautiful ser
vices of the Hebrew ritual being con-
by the Rev. Mr.. Tuski. We
offer our coincidence to the bereaved

THE HAeEAs CORPUS CASE.
Further Developments - Another
Writ before Judge Harry Lee.
The Case Again Continued.

On Wednesday evening, after rem
dering his decision against Sheriff Cur
ry in the habeas corpus case OF ThOs.
Dickens, Judge FOute ordered Coro-
ner SamelsOn to take charge of Col. G..
and hold him a prisoner for contempt
of Court. The Coroner formally de-
livered the Sheriff into the custody of
Maj. Foster, the jailOr. The counsel
Ofthe Sheriff, Messrs. Bullock, Beech
er, Sale and Allen, Immediately pre-
pared a petition for q writ of habeas
corpus, alleging the restraint of Col.
Curry to be illegal, and that the man
ner and form Of the restraint was not
in compliance with the law.
The petition was presented to His
Honor Judge Harry s. Lee, of the
Law Court, who granted the fiat,
making the writ r~eturnable before him
yesterday at l O'Clock at the Law
Court Room.
AT the hour designated the writ, en-
dOrsed with the return, and the body
OF the Sheriff were produced before
the Judge, and an argument as to the
legality of the Imprisonment COM
menced, continuing, pro and con, I'M
til about . O'Clock, when the Court
adjourned to meet again at 10 O'Clock
this morning.
This case will settle the question as
to whether or not the Municipal Court
has the power to issue a writ Ofhabeas
corpus in the cast of person indicted
for a crime over which that tribunal
has no jurisdiction. 1t may find its
way into the Supreme Court of the
State, but 1t is conceded that, in any
event, this a will definitely decide
the vexed question.

LATEST FASHION GOssIP.-The follow
ing is the latest fashion gossip; The
full suits have not bsnished shswls
entirely from our promensdes or stores.
They are beginning to show themselves
in greater fierce than we have seen them
for the last few years. We have seen
some exquisite lace shawls that would
cost a small fortune, and considering
the amount of work on them, aud the
weary weeks and mOpthS spent ever
them, and the sight and health sacrificed
to complete them, they are cheap at any
price. For persons of limited means,
grenadine and Grape morette Shawls are
light and ladylike. These shawls can be
bought at from six to seven dollars.
Long travelling shawls OF plaid are
very desirable and cheap, costing only
seven dollars, but the best quality OF
Scotch shawls cannot be bought for
less than twenty dollars.
Satin jean dresses, for little girls, are
very durable, aud can be purchased
ready made for from ten to fifteen dol
lars.
Gray hair is fashionable, and young
ladies are using white powder to accom-
plish that desirable end.
Gray moreen is coming into favor for
travelling Petticeats. Being stiff and
why, it takes the place OF the hoop
skirt, and handsomely made with quilt
ing and bright braid, answers in lieu of
a white skirt. This combination IS
very pleasant for summer.
Ladies' busters of brown linen are
novelty. They are buttoued up the
front and worn with belt, and are
very useful in preserving q handsome
travelling dress from dust. This will
come home to the soul of every lady who
mas mourned over the relics Of travel
ing suit.
White Is the fashionable color for
mouse or street, for old or young. The
materials may be marseilles, pique, mus
lin, or alpaca.
The ponpadour waist is still in high
favor

fv-EARLY ICLosING.-We are glad tc
know that the plan of closing stores
early that has prevailed here for some
time will continue during the summer
There is no more reason that a clerk
sbould labor fourteen or fifteen hours
,b.n that a mechanic should be required
to do it, and the merchant who asks it
will find he is not working to his own
interest. But the decision Of this mat
Ear and its continuance is with shop
nars, Dealers will not burn gas Just
for the fun of the thing, end if ladies
will determine to make no purchases
.fter dark the clerks will be able to
have their evenings to themselves and
he enabled to enjoy them in social
and rational manner. If buyers would
take our our advice they would never
buy dimes worth from the man who
kseps open after seven o'clock.
