FIRST Love. - This is a favorite
brand of choice family -four, manufac-
tured by Yeager & Co., of St. Louis.
Having tested the First Love" no
longer ago than this morning we can
speak advisedly, and do say that we have
never tried anything superior in that
line. The -four is fine, soft, and white
as snow. 1t rises beautifully and makes
the purest light biscuit imaginable. We
take pleasure in commencing an article
like this to the public, which will stand
the test of universal trial. The sole
agent here is Mr.. M. f. Martin, up stairs
at No. 1874 Front street. He sells only
to the Memphis jobbing trade The
Yeager flour is kept for sale by Messrs.
Hill Fontaine & Co., NJ. L. Meacham &
Co., Stewart Bros. & Fizer, E. NJ. Apper-
son & Co, Brooks 4 Co., Partee, Burle-
son & Co., and the trade generally. Mr..
Martin has on hand over one hundred
samplesofthisfour, and transmits orders
by telegraph at the lowest st. Louis
prices, and guarantees equal to samples.
Yeager & Co. are the largest manufac-
turers in St. Louis They own two mills
there, from, which they turn out nine
hundred barrels per day, beside receiv-
ing as commission merchants largely
from the mills Of Southern Illinois and
Southeast Missouri. Their resources
and facilities are immense and are only
equalled by their well organized energy
and character for fair dealing. Mr..
Martin, the local agent here, through
whom our merchants will find it conve-
nient to send their telegraphic orders, is
clever accommodating gentleman,
worthy to succeed as he has done.

Alderman Murphy had no desire to
clear his past record as counc'mcn, in
publishing the rroccc lings Of a late meet
Ing of the Board Of Trustees. but simply
to let the people knew the facts in mat
ter in which they are the masters AMI
greatly interested. If the town is more
in debt than it should be, it is not Alder
man Murphy's fault, as the record will
show. when the indebtedness was incurred
Alderman Henry and Murphy voted
against the letting Of the contract for the
Town hall, for two reasons, stated at the
time the vote was taken, viz: First, the
cost was too great, and second, the con-
tract awarded was not subject to compc;i-
ton. Aldermen Henry and Murphy upon
the same principle, voted against what
they believed to be an exorbitant bill for
carpenters work, few evenings ago, not
to clear up" their record, but to pc'pcfu
ate it. The Indebtedness of the town now
amounts to 50, $50, all of which is bearing
one and one half per cent. per month in
tercst, amounting to about Sl42 per
month, or s1,70o annually. The delin-
oucnt tax for 1869 is less than 81 900
This great burden for our community to
bear aud keep up the necessary annual ex-
penses. Besides this, the remaining work
on the hall building will amount to about
81 900 more, which must be paid out of
the taxes for this and subsequent years.
While Aldermen Henry and Murphy, do
not impugn the motives of their associates
on the Board, for voting contrary to
what they did, they believed, and still be-
licve, they were best subscribing the III
tercsts Of their constituents by an effort
for retrenchmcnt.

" Several fast boys belonging to the
district school, amused themselves few
evenings ago in piling up the desks. seats,
frewood, and other movable articles in
the school-room, with the evident intention
of surprising" their teachers. as surprise
parties arc the rage just now. The tables
were turned on the youngsters, however,
when the Sheriff politely invited them to
visit the Office of Magistrate Lane and
give an account Of their pranks. The
principal participators were fined each five
dollars and costs, and the others let off
with less penalty, but sufficient it is be-
lieved, to deter them from repetition of
such lawless proceedings.
