Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1872-10-05

GOOD NEWS FOR MANY-We are au-
thorized by the County Court Clerk to an
nounce that, from the first Of October
henceforth (and It is 10 be hoped fOreVer)
marriage licenses will cost only 50, instead
OF $3.50 as heretofore. 1t is anticipated by
some that this reduction will materially en-
! liven the market, but we are OF the opinion
that the matrimonial market is governed
| by no fixed laws, either Of finance, climate
or seasons, and that, like the darkey's rab-
bit, 1t is ''goOd at any time," and bound to
be did, tax or no tax.

A DAY AT GADsDEN.-We spent satur-
day lat with the hospitable people ofGads
den, and enjoyed ourselves vastly. In
truth a more pleasant place 10 visit or live
IN we do not know, and at some future time
we propose 10 give a description OF
the country and the people for the benefit
OF those seeking new homes. The candi-
dates for the legislature GRATED on the oe-
easion, and the people seemed TO be highly
gratified with their efforts. They got along
lovingly together, and, while the rest dis
eussed State policy, the iTrepTessible Jolly
sloshes around like the bull in the china
shop, playing smash with arguments, and
making "Oodleso Of fun for the boys.

WELL, WELL I've are requested TO state
that jim Smith, ex-candidRte for Mayor,
and the champion shingle " prolihcatOr'' Of
the Forked Deer, did. on the first Of this Oc-
tober, bid farewell to the rollicking but de-
ceitful John BarleycOrn; and that the sepa-
ration is fnal-or at least as final as such
separations usually are. Well, we'll of all
the acquaintanees in the world "John7 is
the hardest to shake OF, and the most I'M
profitable to keep up. But we hope that
Jim is effeetuOlly quit Of him, and yet we
would not be surprised to see them walking
lovingly together again on market st. some
of these fine days.

cial Card.
SCARED UP.-The Greeley and Brown IL
Illuminated kite, which so gracefully as
cended on Saturday night last, scared up"
a few superstitiOus darkies, and sent them
to their prayers. They thought 1t was that
dreadful comet which was to knock old
Earth into "pie."
INsULTED.-A cOlored lady, with hmr
that seemed 10 have roots at both ends, was
MORALLY insulted on Monday last, by the
suggestion Of another cOlOred person that
an Old-fashioned wool card would answer
her purpose as a comb better than a regular
comb itself Couldn't they compromise on
a curry-eomb?
READ carefully this week j. W. Glass &
Sons special card.

KELLY's.
A HANDSOME PREsENr.-The Catholics
OF this city recently purchased a fine horse
and buggy, and presented them to their be-
loved pastor, Father Nolan. We record
this evidence Of Christian devotion to 4
worthy and faithful minister with pleasure,
and would be happy to see the good exam
pie followed by some other congregations
that we might mention.
LONG RANGE.-We know a couple of
~lovyers true,'' in this city, whose spark
ing is carried on at powerful long range.
When in the parlor they occupy opposite
corners, and when promenadIng they per-
ambulate in parallel lines at least six feet
apart. They communicate through the
medium Of sly glances and signs, the signs
sometimes threatening both shoe and corset
strings. Il is TO be hoped that the "eold
chilly winds of December will contract the
orbit Of their ~o'er modest" love.
KELLY has something new in the way OF
Jewelry.
A WORD TO THE LADIES.-It will be seen
by reference to our special column, that |
Mrs. X. NJ. Hooker, known to many Of our |
ladies as Miss Kate Murphy, has opened at |
Kelly's old stand, an elegant stock Of Paris |
Millinery, purchased directly from first |
class importers. Mrs II. is too well and |
favorably known to our lady readers to |

ton from us, or any special solicitation on
our part for them to call and see her beau
tiful goods, for that they will do anyhow.
