Warning to Desneraasa.

The little city of Decatur -
we learn from the Times of that placer
has been threatened by a band of
thieying scoundrels in the southern
portion of that county. AS a duty.
and as every public journalist should,
warns the citizens to be prepared for
them, to keep their shooting irons in
readiness to give the scamps a warm
reception. Come on you murderers,
you law violators, you desperadoes,
says the Times, and the Decatur
boys will send you back to your dens
and caves faster than you can intrude
upon our town. Yes, we will sus-
pend those you we catch between
heaven and earth = where north
western wind will cleanse you of the
pole cat odor that follows you wher-
ever you roam. You can never burn
our town and murder its inhabitants.
We again repeat, come if you want to
kick up fuss We are not much of
a fighting character, bat would volun-
teer on such an occasion as that with
out many taps of the drum.

Market House.

An institution OF dis character IS
one OF the Deedfuls in this city. In
stead of having five or six butcher
shops scattered from one end of the
town to the other, would it EoE be
vastly more convenient and profitable
to erect market house large enough
to accommodate the trade.
Pulaski could amply sustain one
or in other words it would be good
investment, as the stall rents would
more than pay reasonable interest on
the money spent in building, besides
being the means of furnishing a much
needed convenience.

One Mora Upfortunate.

On last Wednesday night, about :
O'Clock, a young woman who has
been living at house of bad repute
near the bridge committed suicide by
jumping from the bridge over Rich
land creek into ten feet wafer
Her bsdy was recovered yesterday
evening. The unfortunate wo-
man was known here as Dody Web
er, but we learn from a gentleman
who knew her parents. that her real
name " as Nollie G. Robertson, and
that her father had coal yard in
Philadelphia.
1t is sad commentary on human
intelligence and virtue that a young
woman of such exceedingly comedy
appearance as she presented on the
streets should be found in such low
condition, and to be regretted that
one should die by her own hand in
SuCn ClTCu instances as we u ~ ueE.
cone more unfortunate,
Weary of breath,
Rashly importunate,
Gone to her death,
Touch her not scornfully,
Think of her mOurHfulIy,
Gently and humanity;
Not Of the stains OF her,
All that remains of her
Now Is pure wOmanlY.
The bleak wind OF March
Made her trcmble and shivcr:
But not the dark arch
Or the black flowi1g river,
Mad from htcs history,
clad to DEATHS mystery,
Swift to be hurled
Any where, any whore,
Out OF the world -

o'clock twenty five men on horse
back, disguised as Kuklux, rode into
town and forcibly took him a short
distance, left him for dead. lie was
so badly beaten that but Titles hopes
oan be had for his recovery. Imme-
diately otter the transaction, the ne
groes in the vicinity armed them
selves with guns, pistols, knives, and
whatever weapons they could pro-
cure, and created the greatest con-
sternation aud disorder. In response
to the emergency, detail of soldiers
was dispatched from Chattanooga to
quell the disturbance.
