Where the hair is unnaturally dry,
you may be sure that it is dying; and
unless arti6cially vitalized, it will soon
be as dead as leaves in November. Feed
the whitening 6bers and stimulate the
torpid scalp with Lyon Katharion, and
the evil, which must otherwise soon cul-
inmate in badness, will be speedily
remedied. 1t is absolutely necessary
to the health of the brain, that it be kept
moderately moist with preparation ca
pable of nourishing and invigorating it.
Lyons Katharion ful6lls these condi-
tons, and it is the only article that ac-
tualIy puts neV life into the capillary
tubes, through which the natural nour-
ishment has ceased to pass. This pure
and harmless vegetable preparation is
absorbed by the skin of the head to the
roots of the hair, and passes into the
flaments by the force of capillary at
traction. eod-d&w

The business circles on Union, be-
tween Main and Second streets, we're
excited this morning by a cowhiding
affair, which progressed quietly in the
Office of DR.. Laski. II seems that the
doctor stood charged with insulting q
lady on the street in front of his office,
whereupon an able-bodied male relative
repaired to the official residence Of the
doctor, and proceeded to administer a
cowhiding in the most liberal and ap-
proved manner, without let or hind
rance. The number of lashes admins
tered is variously estimated as between
fifty and two hundred. The medical
man received also a number Of blows
on the head and face, all of which rem
dered him a bad subject for a photo
grapher. The doctor insists that the
whole affair is the result OF mistake.
but there is no mistaking the result, as
can be seen to this good hour by inter-
viewing this disciple of Esculapius and
Galen.

Death of Colonel John W. Dawson.
The city was shocked to-day by the I'M
expected death Of Colonel John W. Daw-
son, who died Of congestion, at the resi-
dence of his father-in-law. Colonel Eu-
gene Magevney. Probably no gentleman
in the city was more generally known
and admired or more highly respected
than the late Colonel Dawson. Possess
ing the manly and generous traits Of
character of the Southern people, and
possessing also that indeseribnble and
attractive power that drew admiration
and the warmest friendship from all who
had the pleasure of his association, his
loss viii create the bitterest regret in the
large circle of acquaintance and friends,
in which be was the admired Of all ad-
mirers. Asin private life, so during bis
public career, in old Confederate times,
his record was as untarnished as was
that of one Of those knights Of old in the
days of chivalry. No better citizen or
more honorable gentleman ever sank into
the dark Valley Of Death, or left a
greater number sffriends to mourn over
departed worth, than the late John W.
Dawson.

Memphis Dollar store.

This concern has become one of the
growing institutions of our city. The
proprietor, from his long residence in
our city, has become fully acquainted
with the tastes and demands of cur city
and country trade, and his thorough
knowledge Of business enables him to
cater successfully to the desires of the
public, and having advantages of con-
nection with the largest manufacturers
in Europe enables him to sell many
goods at retail below the Wholesale price
of jobbers in any part of the country.
The stock is the most complete in vari-
ETY., and comprises, besides fancy goods,
jewelry, etc., the usual stock of Dollar
Stores, fine selection of house furnish
ing goods, table ware of all kinds, ladies
and gents underwear hosiery, gloves,
towels, shirts, hats, and many other
goods at less prices than elsewhere. As
a specially, we notice large stock of
real hair goods, embracing all colors
and shades of curls, sets, braids and
other fxins--the use of which are only
known to the initiated-and at one-half
the prices usually charged in other
stores. From the crowds who visit there
it is inferred that the people know
what's what, the motto being, More
goods for one dollar than elsewhere for

prices, and see for themselves, at 22O
