-Inthe csse OF John II. Lanier rs. Jane
Lsnier, the Supreme Court reversed Judge
Fippin's decision, and granted a divorce,
but Turney, Judge, delivered a dissent

them 80 cases OF adultery onlyl il Of any
force OF binding on any Judge. This, says
the Bolivar BttHetin, certainly is a very
novel doctrine to come from say member
ofthe Supreme bench st this DAY, but still
the dissenting opinion was a hne speoi-

inhabitants of Memphis are sanRuine rs
TO the results Of the proposed cODsolida-

folk, and have convened a meeting at an
early day, at which the officers OF the
connecting lines will be present,

at Memphis and Norfolk, il is augured

portion Of the railway system Of
the South in Memphis, and thus necesss-

Is in 3 valley lying between Obed river
and Dodge's creek 81 the Allegheny !

these minerals, and 1t only needs capital
