IMPoRTANT-As an item Of interest to
country merchants, we call attention to the
fact that J. W. Smith & Co.,--one OF the
livest Hardware firms in the city-are
Agents for Halls Safe and Lock Company.
From them merchants can buy these un-
riyaled safes rs cheap as they can be
bought in Cincinnati. The Hall Safe and
Lock Company have but three Agents IN
Tennessee, and 1t is a compliment to our
city, as well as to the firm of j. w. Smith
Il Co., TO have an agency in cur midst
The great fires which swept over this Con-
tinet last year, elcquently proclaimed the
matchless merits of the Hall Safe, and we
know Of instances where one of these Safes
has stood the test Of two fires without re-
pairs, preserving their contents inyiolate.
Let Country Merchants remember these
facts, and when they want n fire and
burglar-prooi Safe call on ]. w. Smith &
Co, and order through them a Hall Safe.

William Lyons, white, James Plunket and
Wash Conley, col, were conveyed from our
County Jail to Nashville, to serve their
respective terms in the State PenitentiaTy.
Lyons for 10 years; Plunket for and
Wash Conley for y years. The cases Of
Lyons and Plunket have been appealed to
the Supreme Court, and they went to
Nashville simply to get credit for that much
of their term OF service in the Penitentiary,
should the Supreme Court confirm the
Judgments Of the Court below. Wash
COnley, it Will be remembered, Is the self
constituted surgeon whose extraordinary
amputation at PinsOn, some months ago,
created so much excitement. While the
rascal ought To he hung, vet, be il said to
his professional credit as an amputatOr,
