AROUND TOWN.

THE Columbia ford is now in most ex-
cellent condition, thanks TO the liberal
ity of the Street Committee, and the
skill and industry ofthe Chairman, Mr.
Jamison, and Mr.. Haynes 1t is cut
down and gravelled. The river is now
quite low, and the wagons are busiy
engaged in hauling gravel to the Public
Square, where it is much needed.
II is a very good thing for policemen
TO be "wise as serpents," in order that

SOME days since we examined Shee-
cog IL Sons new stock of boots, shoes,
and hats, that they have Just received,
and can recommend their goods to the
people of Maury and adjoining counties,
as we believe them equal to any ever
brought TO the State, in quality and
style. These gentlemen tell us that
most of their boots and shoes are shop
hand maze, and were made expressly
for them and every pair warranted fully
TO give satisfaction. They have also a
large lot of samples of imported cloths
and cassimers, that they propose to
nave made up TO order, in overcoats and
suits, both for men and boys; also hand
some and well-fitting shirts, all ofwhich
they propose to sell at lower prices for
cash than can be bought in Nashville.
We hope our people will examine their
stock before they go off to other mar
kets to buy, as we think our own mer-
chants should be patronized in prefer
ence TO strangers i'll other cities, partic
urarly when they can buy as cheap, if
not cheaper, from Sheegog & Son.

If YOU knew which side your bread
was buttered, you would go TO the Bank
of Columbia, and buy Bank of Ternes-
see notes, and pay your taxes with them.
Williams IL Tyler, or any other
man, ever did have a good stock of ele-
giant ready-made clothing and fine
clothes, they certainly have such stock
ON hand now. They have clothing which
will make the people of Maury county
look as elegantly as if they lived at
Nashville or any other fashionable city.
We advise all fashionable young men
(and to he out Of the fashion il TO be out
of the world, it is said), to call and ex-
anime these goods, before purchasing
elsewhere.
