pondence, at length, between

Wicks complained ola Chroa-

to the affairs Of the Memphis

Saving Bank of Memphis.
Rule disclaimed any mali
cious or unjust intent, and offer
ed his columns for any proper
or just correction.
Wicks, without pointing out
any specific errors, demanded
a retraction. Rule declined.
for the alleged reason that the
matters of the editorial letter
were from reliable authority, and
believed to be true. Thercupon
Wicks of date Feb. 10 chal-

We regret that our space

1t has the ring of true manly
honor and genuine civilized
courage about it. In short it
justly ignores the theory of
honor claimed for the Dueling
Code; denies that it is prompt
ed by a spirit of courage. but
rather Of cowardice and guilt;
but claims fully the inherent
right of self defense; and, that if
attacked, be will not hesitate to
exercise this high natural and
legal right.

can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect

The scalp, by its use, becomes white

critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco

and gives the hair splendid, glossy
