FROM CLOYERPORT.-We learn that
there was a meeting Of the citizens Of Clio
verport, in Hardeman county and vicinity,
on the 2nd, for the purpose Of forming 4
Farmers Club. The club was formed.
Crop prospects in that section we regret TO
learn are not promising
SUDDEN ATTACK.-Dr. Robert Fenner
was taken suddenly quite III on Monday
evening, but revived in a few hours, and is
now up and about.
VAGRANTs.-The few Migrants who in
fest the city were frightened away by the
police on Monday. Among them a white
man who spends what little money he gets
on negro wantons and for whisky, while
his poor wife "begs her bitter bread from
door TO door. We hope the law against
Migrants, and especially such worthless
brutes as the white man referred TO, will be
remorselessly enforced.
SILVER CoRNET BAND.-The jackson
Silver Cornet Band is prepared to attend
calls in and direction, and we assure neigh
boring towns that there is not its equal in
West Tennessee, outside Of Memphis.
Charges moderate.
CLEARING THE DECK--Mr. Jno A. Greer
has had the old frame on the corner of Main
street and Center Alley, opposite the Court
house. torn down for the purpose Of erect
ing in its place fine three story brick.
STOP 1--WE hope the police will put
a stop TO loud cursing and other vile Ian
guage on the streets, which is so freely in
dulged, especially on Saturday by negroes.
They blockade the sidewalks frequently.
and indulge almost constantly in language
unfit for decent cars. Let 1t be stopped at
ence.
OUR STRING BAND.-In speaking Of this
splendid band in our last issue, we men
toned A. Rosenberg as the leader, which is
not the fact. Mr. Frank Clark is, and has
always been the leader of the present su-
perb string band We will take this Occa-
sion to say that better band, or one more
ably conducted can't be found anywhere in
the interior, and we heartily recommend it
to our neighboTing communities, when
they desire first class music at a reasonable
price.
BROADWAY CIGAR STORE.-Our enter
prising fellow citizen, J. Samuels, has
opened a Retail Cigar and Tobacco Store ON
Lafayette Street, between Ganter's and
0COnnor's. 1t has the real Broadway
style, is both neat and elegant, and gotten
up at considerable cost. The goods in this
handsome establishment are all imported,
and cannot fail TO please the NEST fastidi-
GUS taste. Mr.. Samuels is one of Our most
enterprising citizens and we wish him sue
cess in his new venture. His wholesale
establishment is sill in the Tomlin Block.
on Main Street.
FROM CLAYBROOK.-CrOps are promis-
ing in the Claybrook section. We learn
that couple of nice young men had deal
of trouble there last Saturday, trying to
persuade an aristocratic horse to pull a
spring wagon loaded with hides to this city
The perspiration and things poured forth
by those nice young men is described as
being rather wonderful, both as TO quanti-
ty and quality. A white boy named John
Nichols, runaway from his employers, las.
and William Sellers on Sunday last, per-
suading of with him a couple of little boys,
nephews Of the Sellers, aged respectively
II and II years. When last heard from
they were on Beech River, in Henderson
county, and the report is that the two
Beech River. James and William Sellers
are in pursuit. The Sabbath School at that
place under the able management OF Prof.
w. +. Hinkle is in flourishiuS condition.
Several cases Of measles are reported, and
the fear is entertained that there will be
enough of them to 80 all around the neigh
boThOod.
MAGNIFICENT.-We were shown on
Wednesday the architectural design for
Kings new Block and Hall on Market ST.,
opposite the square. The plan is a magni-
icent one, and the hall will be equal to any
in the South. The ground story will con-
tain two store rooms, . by 1O5 feet each,
with pitch OF 20 feet. The hall will be 80
feet by 100, and with Il pitch Of 90 feet.
The werk Of construction will begin on
the Ist OF September. The hall will be
fitted up, we learn, in superb style, u
New York, and opened Christmas with a
grand ball
