We are indebted to he courtesy
of j. II. Humphries, Esq, City Engi-
neer, for an office copy of the elegant
and elaborate county map recently
compiled and published by him and
Messrs Sears * Smith, of the Memphis
Abstract Company. 1t is drawn to a
scale of thiTty-tWO chains (2lI2 feet
to the inch and shows with great acu-
racy every piece Of property in the
county, with the name Of owner,
number Of acres, etc. The map is
about six feet square, handsomely and
substantially mounted, and should be
in the Office of every lawyer, real
estate ~agent-and indeed, almost
every business man.
in account of the attempt of
Mr., Forrest Powell to shoot Mr.. Shell
ton a few days ago, quoting from the
EreniHg Ledgfr of this city, we said
that the SOmeryilie Fclc0R had said
certain thingsabQut Mr.. Powell. The
Falcon of Thursday says that g no
such statement ever appeared in the
SOmerville Falcon, and we knew
nothing of the matter referred to until
we read the account of the attempted
assassination published in the Mem
phis papers of the 18th instant.
The affair, it seems, Oc-
cnrred in Lafayette county, Miss, and
it is probable the appeal credited Our
paper with what should have been
credited to the Oxford Falcon, pub
lished in that county" The fault is
not ours. We merely quoted from the
Ledger.
