citizens of Marshall county met in Holly
Springs and organized IN Association for
the purpose of inducing immigrants to

seen from the proceedings, published in

Some days ago we published q state

effect that r. j. Morgan had been muir
dered by the negroes OF his uei ghbOrhOnd

trust the Falcon will make the cor
rection." Mr.. Morgan was supposed TO
have become ohnGxious TO the negroes on
account of the sudden death of a negro in
his employ, who declared. before dying.
hat he had been poisoned by him. we
are glad TO learn that the rumor quoted
by us is not true,
1t IS not generally known even to
and of vehicles licensed
TO transport passengers, that there is a
law which positively prohibits
than one driver 10 each vehicle. Z
The following is the text of this ordinance
which is to DO found on page 3O2. article
3, section II, Bridges Digest: "In no in
stance shall more than one driver or per-
ne permitted to sit or ride on the
rivers seat of any carriage, hack or coach
Tor which a city license has heen issued;
In h event of two drivers. or two in
iividuals pretending to DO drivers, are
on the drivers seat, il shal be
teemed a m-isdemeanOr, aud thu owner Of
said carriage, hack or coach shall be liable /
% a fine of not less than tive nor more
han hfty dollars; and upon the fact being
n 4de known to the Mayor, he shall have
he power 10 revoke the license that may
been issued for running such carTi-
hack or coach" This is a most wise
nd excellent ordinance. and if strictly
enforced will put a stop i'm a great meas
are to g4rrQting ana sealpIng in the sub
Irbs. We call the attention of the new
police to it.
The Hot Springs (Ark.l CoErier thus
describes ths process of making whet

oul Bayou: A cast irons heel driven hy
Yator force, six feet In %ameter, is the
principal part. The wheel has an upright
han passing through the centre, az The
over end OF which the water wheel Is at
sched. The east iron wheel is the polish
ng wheel, which rotates from right TO
eft. Tn stones to be polished, are placed
N the surface afthe wheel, and by Simple
means are kept permanent. Sand and
water are constantly supplied the wheel
whilst in motion, which in q short the
,rsScs every inequality and leaves a per-
ectlv smooth fsC5 to the stones. The
pieces ARD then turned, and the unfinished
,ideS exposed TO the same action until all
he sides are finished. The uniformity of
is made with little difficulty. From
100 to 500 pounds Of rock can be under
process of polishing at the same time.
The nOveculIte or none grit is the quality
most generally finished up for the mar
but the oil stones aud cosrser grits
ire often also made here. Barnes &
sons contemplate enlarging their busi

quantity n quality of these celebrated

hands from abroad. Through the great

ave been exhibited in every part of the
Jnited States, and in many parts of Eu-
Ope.
