ASSASSINATION IN HENDERSON. - On
Saturday last, at jacks Creek in Hender-
son county, Riley McKerl, familiarity call
ed Mackerel, was assassinated by some I'M
known person or persons. McKerl was
considered a very dangerous man when
drinking, although when sober an indus
triOus citizen. He had been at the Greek
during the day, having grinding done at
the mill, and was shot about dark, while
standing in the mill talking to the miller.
1t is evident that he received his death
wound from a shot gun, as several balls
were found embedded in his body, the fatal
one entering above his right hip and COM
ing out below his hsart. We have heard
several rumors in regard TO the murder, but
nothing definite beyond the fact that sew
eral persons were seen running from the
mill alter the shooting, by those in the mill
The names of parties suspicioned, and ru-
mors Of warrants issued for their arrest,
have also been furnished US, but we defer
publishing their names until we can get
all the facts.

GENIUS is not confined to the learned pro-
LESSONS or the literati, as the following cir
cumstance fully establishes: A clerk in 4
dry goods store who was reprimanded by
his employer for awkwardness in measur-
ing goods, replied, " How can 1 help it.?
am left handed, sir, and can do no better
until you get me LEFT handed yard stick"
This same clerk and genius looked CAREFUL
ly and industriously through large stock,
on application of a rural lady, for pair Of
" bow-egged stockings" He didn't find
the stockings, and to this day has pro-
found contempt for his employers ability
as buyer Of goods suited TO all his custom
ers. All of this county.

SUPREME COURT DoCKET-C CASES FROM
MEMPHIS, ETC.-Our obliging Supreme
Court Clerk, John IL. Freeman, furnished

ing figures from his dockets.-There are on
the docket, to be tried, from Memphis, 315
Chancery; 342 Circuit Court, and Crimi-
nal; making a total from Shelby county OF
ga cases. All to be heard this court, and
the Clerk says that others are coming. The
country docket, which, however, will not
be taken up this term, except the State
Cases-numbers in the Circuit, Law, and
Equity Courts, I22, and Criminal Is; max
ing in all 1877. The grand total Of cases on
the dockets at this time is SO1-quite for
mi dable number.
A GOOD UGGEsTIoN.-Within the past
few months quite a number of persons
have visited our city to look out sites
for erecting manufactures. The result Of
their observations we do not fully know,
but have reason to believe that some Of
them have been fayorably impressed, and
will likely invest. We would here present
a suggestion, made by an enterprizing citi.
zen, that is, to appoint a committee of citi.
zens, whose duty it shall be to inform them.
selves as to the most eligible locations, in
or near the city, for manufacturing estab
lishments, and TO take charge of strangers
coming here with view to manufacturing
show the various locations, and furnish
such other information as may be desired
We think the suggestion a good one, snG
hope that practical action in the premises
will be had at an early day.
A SUGGEsTIoN.-Advice is always "fret
as the water that runs" and sometimes it il
valuable. The following we, out Of pure
! kindness, offer to that much abused class
saloon keepers. The summer months art
always dull and Improbable. The coming
summer can be made an exception, so fal
as saloons are concerned. Thus-there viii
be about one hundred candidates for tn,
various offices in this county by the coming
OF the dull days. The liberality and Dor
homme' sociability OF candidates is too wei
known to require charging on. 1t is fur.
