WELL" and rejoice to believe that our
loss is his eternal gain.

The old question as to whether clothes
make the man or the man makes the
clothes, is still unsettled. and will all
ways remain so, so lone as it is narrow
ed down to positive question. Dress
in a great measure shows the man, but
it does not make him. Good clothes
have much to do with ones happiness
and good feeling, however, and we adj
wise everybody, therefore, to call and
see NJ. JOsEPH's stock of ready-made
clothing. He promises to fit you, to suit
you, to please you, and to benefit you.
j. L. Guest, well known citizen OF this
place, is with Mr.. JOSEPH, and will be
glad to meet all his needy and badly
clothed friends there.
Englishmen always attain as near
perfection as possible in all their under
takings. By devoting all their energies
to any speciality, they exalt and perfect
it. Mr.. HEAVIER of Nashville, is an En-
glishman, and he is good illustration
of what we have said above. His MUIR
sery is highly esteemed by all lovers of
flowers, etc., and extensively patronized
throughout Middle Tennessee. FRANK
AYDELorT is Agent for Heavier & Gray,
and will keep a supply ofsuch specimens
as he thinks the good people of Maury
County need and. want. The cheapest

opposite the Masonic Hall, and examine
his stock.
Do you know that John Tyler-not thu
ex-President, but the merchant-has re-
turned from the East with q magnificen:
stock of goods7 OF course you do, for he
shows it in his looks. Ed, himself, could
not have exercised better judgement in
selecting his goods. Go and see his fash
ion plates and his goods.
Geo. McCord has received his Spring
Stock, and with it the handsomest coat
that has yet made its appearance on the
streets, for the same money.
Mr.. Ruttle inserted his advertisement
| in our last issue. but owing to the fault
of the composition and proof-reader, sew
eral errors occurred. He was made tt
say that he had "Pants" and "Flannel
for sale, when it should have been "Bon-
nets" and "Flowers." We advise the
ladies to call and examine his new and
beautiful stock of these articles, before
they are all gone. Call and see, as Mr.
! Ruttle does not mind showing his goods
whether you buy or not.
fyou will examine our Boots, Shoe,
and HITS, you viii find the quality, styl'
and price unfailingly satisfactory.

The Murder Case.

John Griffin, John and VIM. Riddle,

They were required to give bond in
the sum OF $500 to keep the peace against
the said Davis. John Griffin was also
up last week for receiving stolen goods,
and for "force and maitreatmert.- He

COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE


Editor Herald, -Inasmuch as we will
be called upon soon to elect Chancellor
for this division, it is highly proper that
we should look around for the best man
to fill the position. We have seen
through the columns of your highly
priced popular paper, the names of sew
eral distinguished and able men have
been suggested, among that number we
are glad to see the name ofW. S. Flem-
ming, whose character as lawyer is toe
well established to need auy endorse
ment. But we might add that he stands
at the ''head of the list" Besides, he has
kind heart, clear Judgement, and
ought to be ranked "as one of Gods no.
BILE men"
We therefore think that he is the mar
TO fill the position of Chancellor for this
disvision, and ask in behalf of public
good that he be elected.

Election day was cold and damp, and
Il Grizzly rain, varied by increasing vol
ume, fell all the day long. 1t was a day
of bad omen, and was really more dis
agreeable day than the beautiful snowy
day when the Constitutional Conven-
ton was voted for. IL was not only disa-
greeable under foot, but overhead also,
and many of the older citizens preferred
TO remain Mt home, (the oldest man in
the county, Mr.. Martin, came through

formed that the very best feeling pre-
vailed at all of the country precincts, and
M one was prevented from voting his
choice, even by intimidation. The ne

Death Of B. +. Robinson.

From the West Tennessee Wbir.I
B. F. Robinson died at the resi-.
dence ofhis father, VIM. Robinson.
Esq, four miles west of Jackson, 9
o'clock, a. M, Friday, February 18th
1870.
Again the affecting hand of Provi-
dence has fallen heavily in our midst.
Again the restless tread of death has
been heard amongst us. Naught
awaited the entreaties of the vonng
wife of his bosom, tender children,
and anxious solicitous friends. Kind
and attentive friends attended him
throughout his painful illness, and
did all they could for his restoration !;
but the disease contracted from the
hardships. exposures and dangers of
a soldiers life, had fastened on his
vitals, and though bravely baffled for
several years, at last progressed rap
idly to a fatal termination. and an af.
fectionate husband, kind, tender and
loving father, a christian and soldier,
went down beneath the consuming
touch.
In all his dealing with his fellow
men, of every age and condition in
life, he was the same model of kind
ness, goodwill and unassuming gen.
tleness. The conversation of the last
few weeks of his life, was such as to
leave no doubt, that while his body
is now slumbering beneath the cold
clods of the valley, his spirit is in COM
munion with the God who gave it.
Weep not, therefore, bereaved wife,
that the husband of thy bosom, the
fond father of your two wee prattling
children, who in their infant inno-
cence are all unconcious of their ire
parable loss, has been taken TO his
home above, but be in readiness to
follow, ere long, in the way he has
gone, and meet him where parting is
no more.
Peace to thine ashes, dearly loved
brother! christian soldier, thou hast
fought well for thy God and country,
and gone down in death wept and
mourned by all who knew thee; but
shall rise far removed from the clam
ors of this world, and instead of sick
ness, sorrows, pain and death, shall
be substituted throughout endless
ages, unceasing hosannrs to Him who
ruleth and doeth all things well.

The n. Y. Herald says, "The fol-
lowing clause of law in regard to the
income tax seems to de bothering
some honest and other sort ofpeople !:
THAT the taxes on incomes herein
imposed shall be levied on the LIST
day of March, and be due and paya-
bic on or before the 18th day of April
in each year until and including the
year 1870, and no longer" Now, what
is the purpose of this clause? tits to
define and declare at what time in the
year the income tax is due and paya-
bic. And it declares very plainly
that the tax shall be due and payable
by the '13th day of April in each year
until and including the year 1870, and
no longer" No payment of the tax
can be demanded later than April
1870, and at that time we pay the tax
on our income of 1869. On the in
come of 1870, therefore, no tax is
payable.
