THE PRETTIEsT WOMAN in New York So
ciety, last winter, was a rough skinned, freck-
eled faced lady in Dayton, Ohio but one year
ago. She used Hogan's Magnolia Balm upun
her face and hands with such persistency,
that her complexion became her greatest at
traction. 1t will do the same for any one. 1t
will obliterate Sallowness, Moth patches Ring
marks, Sunburn, &C., give marble-like COM
plexion, and perpetuate the bloom of youth
for years. What the Magnolia Balm is to
the complexion, Lyons Celebrated Katharion
is to the hair. 1t not only beauties the hair,
but stimulates its growth, and prevevents it
from falling out or turning gray. All Drug
gists keep these articles. 4w29

The press Of the country is beginning

a pistol must have one Of two motives.
He is either expecting an attack, or ex-

influenced by one of these motives, it is
clear that his associations are such that
a slight incident-an accidental provo

a dangerous man. We know the diff

THE RIGHT TALK.

The Somerville Falcon, of Thursday,
has this good talk; 1--WE propose to
use the influence of the Falcon, on all
proper occasions, to build up mutual
harmony between the people of West
Tennessee and the merchants and bust
ness men of Memphis. We believe in
keeping our money at home, and to that
end we advise our country merchants to
trade, as far as possible, with the whole
sale dealers of the Bluff City. We do
not wish to injure the merchants of
Northern cities-as class we respect
them; but we do not think it compatible
with our material interests to turn the
cold shoulder upon our home establish
ments and lavish our means upon a
people who have no interests in common
with ourselves, and who have never con-
tributed an iota to our success, fnan-
cially or otherwise"

Who blames the acclimated Southron
for scorning fellow against whom
nature protests and drives disease
into his liver and death into his hearth
There are plenty of men in the South
who can execute the duties of officers
men who have no waxed fingers when
they handle money, and with whom ma
laria and yellow jack are on the best OF
terms. This government of the South
by men alien to its soil is wrong that
one day will be righted. When common
sense overcomes the country like sum
mer cloud, the fitness Of things will re-
turn.
