A Protest from Church street Citi-
zens against the Construction of
another Track.
The following petition, which explains
itself, was yesterday handed to the Mayor:
To His Honor, Mayor K. j Morris and
the Authorities of the City of Nashville:
The undersigned citizens of Nashville,
having rights in common, would respect
fully represent to your honor, that the
Company known as the Church and Spruce
Street Railroad Company, are now at
work tearing up that portion of Church
street, between Summer and High streets,
for the purpose of putting down switch
or double track, much to the detriment of
property holders and persons doing bust
ness in that locality.
We would respectfully represent to your
Honor that the street is already too mar
row for even one railroad track, and that
the putting down of another track or
switch would occupy said street in a man.
ner hat would make that thoroughfare
dangerous to passing vehicles, and would
result in serious Inconvenience to citizens,
having street rights in common.
We are not aware that said Street Rail
road Company have, by their charter, ex-
elusive right to said street in a manner to
seriously obstruct the same with as many
tracks as they may see proper to lay down,
and most respectfully pray your Honor to
arrest said company at once in their pro-
posed work. $500

Quick SaIe-ResuIt of Advertising.

On the 9Th inst. those enterprising real
estate men, Messrs. Hickman & Roberts,
advertised in the UNION AND AMERICAN
that on the 18th inst. they would offer for
public sale the magnificent mansion on the
corner of Fillmore and Lime streets, and
five fine vacant lots. The advertisement
was well displayed, and stated that the
sale would be without reserve. On yester-
day some parties saw the announcement in
our paper, and at once closed out the prop
erty at bargain satisfactory to all parties.
The sale was made in few hours and on
private terms. This is another evidence
of the utility of judicious advertising.
There is no trouble In disposing Of goods
and property and securing trade by those
who regularly keep their business before
the public through the columns of the

The LATEST STYLE.-As many OF our
lady friends may not have procured the
latest agony in the way Of hat or bon
net, few suggestions as to how one
can be made may not be amiss: Take
up an old hat, fiat or sundown-the
more wrinkled and crumpled up the
better-soak for several hours until
soft and pliable as dish cloth, in a
strong solution of vinegar, lye, benzine
or beef brine-when flexible take out
Of soak-place on the top of peaked
potato hill-pound the edges Tor forty
three minutes with a beef bruiser or
rolling pin-hang it on a wrinkled
squash to dry-when dry trim with rib
bons, posies and Japan tin trinkets to
suit the taste. A strict observance OF
these directions will enable any one,
even the most unskillful in the art OF
millinery, to make a hat with all the
wrinkles OF the latest fashion in it. Try
it, girls.
