TAKE NoTIOE.-Mr. w. 7. McCarly, the
expert photographer, will not remain in
Bolivar longer than the 18th of next month,
as he goes hence to fill engagements already
made. Those who desire his services should
make note of this, and always remember
that his work is equal, if not superior, to
that of any artist in the South. AS his prices
are moderate and within the reach of all, it
would be well for those who desire to 'se-
cure the shadow before the substance fade"
to give him call at an early day, as his
time is limited to the date mentioned above.
Pictures taken in all kinds of weather, and
that, too, in style second to none in point
of finish.

The election last suburban for State Sena

The election last Saturday for State Sena-
tor, to fill the vacancy occasiOned by the
resignation of n. AID. Brysnt no doubt re-
suited in the choice OF our fellow citizen,
James. G. Fleming The vote in Hardeman
was, for Fleming, $50; for Aldrige, radical,
IL; three votes scattering Our informal
from McNairy is that Fleming beat Aldrige
at least two to one, and hence the deduction
that James c. Fleming is elected, and if so,
will make a most useful and energetic repre-
sentative III the halls of Legislation.
Since the aboVewas put in type we have
seen letter from the sheriff of McNaiTy to
a gentleman here, which states that Elem
ing's majority over Aldrige in that county is
one hundred and forty. No doubt of Elem
ings election now, and we are all glad of it

Cash system.

On the first day of January, 1871, Messrs
Bills & Hill, one of the most enterprising
firms in our town, very wisely, we think,
adopted the cash system, and last week Mr.
Hill received the following note from Col.
Marsh Polk, an old customer:
AT HOME, January 6.
JERoME-I am truly glad you have stopped
credit, and have loi0ered prices accordingly.
Being out of tobacco and not prepared to
make the effort to quit chewing, 1 send a
dime, the last cent have, and l want as
much as possible of the cheapest kind that
amt rotten, or poisoned with verdigris.
Affectionately and afflictively,
NJ. T. POLK.
To show the advantages of the cash sys-
tenn it is only necessary to add that Mr..
Hill sent him a plug of his best quality.
May the Col. always be in funds, and may
he always get the full worth of his money
under the cash system, which has, in this
instance, worked so advantageously for him.
