AROUND TOWN.
THE obstropelous "American citizens
of African descent" who had their name
chawcd i'm the western part Of the town
a week or so ago ly couple OF our law
abiding citizens, have become since then
very quiet and orderly. 4 number OF
our best citizens called OH the disorderly
ones, and gave them lecture with the
bark ON il. #tl
ONE of the members of tho Mutual
Admiration Society has sent in his res
ignation. - .--r
TIE "Chinks" around town have fine
voices for laughing and singing, On
last Saturday night we got full benefit,
as the full orchestra OF the concern was
turned loose across the street from our
office. Oh DIR. Bicknell's corner. One of
the voices sounded like the double ex-
tracts of a thousand black tom-cats in a
row on dark, rainy night.
THE people of Hickman County think
that George McCord's handsome clerk is
married. They are mistaken, however,
because he is a member of the M. A. s.
Those who belong that society have to
give a bond that they will not attempt
ANYTHING of that kind until they have
arrived at an unknown ago.
Try the New Constitution cigar at X.
Ill. Jamison's.
Ir is reported that COrinthian Hall is
infested with ghosts. Weird and fearful
noises are said tosproceed from the upper
story of the building on every Friday
night. Lights are also seen, and the pO-
lice had better investigate the matter.
ONE of the two parties of young men
that went to the barrens has returned.
They had excellent sport. w. j. WEBB
ster killed two deer Hugh Gordon one
and Charles Gordon one. Charles o..
Nicholson hit great many deer, but he
did not hit them hard enough to capture
any. Hammond p. Webster knocked
fo,Ir of the nimble-foot animals, but
they always got up again and went off
with the wind, and he did not get ahorn.

Mr.. Thos. Butler, an excellent worker
I'm rock, proposes soon to erect near Co
umbia Limo Kiln on the Page patent
plan, and expects soon to supply not on
iy this but other markets with supe-
rior quality of limo. The lime recently
distributed among tho citizens of our
town 10y the corporate authorities was
burned at Nashville, and cost forty
cents per bushel.
ONE of the principal arguments urged
by the opponents of our present County
Register, w. B. Wood, during the can
yass for that Office, was that he was una
ble to perform the duties of the office OF
account of his inability to write legible
hand. From all appearances The argu
mont was not an unjust one, but very
reasonable and natural conclusion
Mr.. Wood had been so severely wounded
during the war, that no has only ont
arm, and only two fingers on that arm
IL was scarcely expected by his bes
friends that he coul,. write well. Blu
he does write very plainly and legibly
and altogether makes an excellent Reg
lister.
