REVIVAL OF TRADE.-The produce
markets at all points are becoming
quite active, the exports within the
last few days having materially quick
ened At New York it is reported the
ocean freight market is again decidedly
stronger, rates on grain by steam to
Liverpool and Glasgow having adj
vanced one penny per bushel, with
general cargo quotations also favoring
ship owners, who were offering accom-
odation less freely Here at Baltimore
grain has been steadily going on ship
board to large amount through all
the panic, though mostly on prior en-
gagements Other branches Of bust
ness are also fairly increasing in moye-
ment. though caution is exercised in
purchases. Prices of the principal
products of industry have not material
ly declined, which is an important and
encouraging feature. Baltimore Sun.

a correspondent Of the Philadelphia
: "Press, who has been i'll of the yellow
fever at Shreveport, La, gives graph.
lie sketch Of the sufferings of the people
in that stricken city. He pronounces
the disease to be the Mexican vomito,
and says:
The old and the young, the blonde
and the brunette, white and black, are
falling daily as victims / am just up
and able to pen few lines after con
fnement of two weeks, and that chasm
of two weeks reveals tale that makes
the heart of the strong man shudder
Neighbors, but yesterday in health and
strength, are to-day numbered with the
dead, and families hitherto unbroken
are severed and helpless.
Steamboats,, cars and stages no long
er pass our deserted thoroughfares. The
solitary wagon disdains to enter the
precincts of the infected city, and the
vultures, our native scavengers, no long
er hover the tainted district We are
completely isolated from the outside
world. The business houses of tile city
are almost entirely closed. Merchant,
banker, trader, and every class of our
citizens are devoted to the work OF nurs
ing and caring for their own afflicted
families, or those of their friends and
neighbois, and amidst this wall Of at
fiction and distress the sincere prayer
| Of gratitude goes up from the heart Of
this city for the kindness in the way Of
money, supplies and help that comes
from the distant cities, communities and
individuals in behalf Of the deceased
and helpless of Shreveport. We will
long remember the charities of oul
friends abroad, and Heaven cannot be
unmindful Of the cheerful giver il
this our hour of sorrowful visitation
Our doctors are worn out; our nurses
are Frustrated with long and tedious
watching; our wives and sons and
daughters are wasted with disease, anx
iety and care, and our ministers are ex.
hausted in the discharge of their holy
duties Humanity groans under thu
immense burden that rests upon this un
fortunate city. Our telegraph opera
tors have died like faithful sentinels al
their posts, and our druggists have man
ly performed every requirement in thei
line. We are humhled and have no
complaint to make. May God in Hi
mercy yet kindly remember this people
and those who have generously contrib
uted to their urgent wants, is the sin
cere prayer of every devoted heart.

APPALLING ACCIDENT.
How Squire Samuel Brown Davidson
was Killed BY a Railroad Train.

From the Nashville Union and American,
lSth.l
Our readers will regret 10 learn that
Squire Samuel B. Davidson, of this
cousty, was so seriously injured in at
tempting to cross the track of the Nash
vile and Northwestern road yesterday,
ia front of an approaching train, that
ne died within an hour after the acci-
dent occurred. This heart-rending acci-
den. occurred on the Charlotte pike
neaT he fair ground. Mr.. Davidson had
been 10 the city IS usual and was on his
wy .ame when killed. He was riding
ia pis Uuggy to which was attached y
iav0rite horse that he had been driving
f0E years. The buggy was torn to pieces,
the a.dd legs of the horse broken, and
Air. Davidson was thrown violently
back against the fiat space behind the
COw-catcher, in which position he was
found when the train was stopped. He
was badly bruised about the chest and
also about the head, The train which
ran over HIM was the one which
leaves the depot Of the North
western road at twenty minutes
past twelve o'clock, and after
the accident, the engineer reversed his
engine and brought Mr.. Davidson back
10 the city, with the hope that by medi-
cal skill ne might be saved from death.
Arriving at the depot, Mr.. Davidson
was Immediately removed to the resi-
dence OF his son-in-law, Jasper Taylor,
where be soon after breathed his last.
Esquire Davidson was one of the oldest
citizens OF the county. He was born in
Mecklenburg county, North Carolina,
in 1902, removed TO Sumner county in
this State next year, and came to this
county in 1904, aud settled, where he
lately resided, in the twelfth district,
living in that DeighbOrhoOd for a period
OF sixty-nine years. He was a soluier
under Jackson in the Seminole war,
and, being one Of the early settlers here,
braved tolls and hardships peculiar to

DESPERATE AFFRAY.
One Woman Deliberately Shoots An.
other with a Shotgun.
Ernm the Nicksbulg Times, nm

Prom the Nicksbug Times, l7th.l
The usual quiet of that locality known
as Klien's bottom was thrown into a
state of excitement, yesterday, unequal
ed in the history of that neighbOrhOOd,
and surpassed only by that terrible cut
ting affray which took place near the
bayou bridge some months ago. AlviDa
Chambers and Mary Williams, two col
OTed women living near the above part
of town, have been indulging in rather
personal language toward each other, on
various occasions, thereby engendering
very bad feelings, which reached the
highest pitch yesterday morning. What
this feeling between these neighbors
arose from, we could not learn: but yes
terdsy the war broke out in earnest; the
usual TRADE of abuse was INDUCED in,
and Alvina rushed into the house and
brought out dOuhle-barreled shotgun.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Shaw, wife of the elder
of Pleasant Green church, came upon
the scene. and. while demonstrating with
the infuriated women, received the con-
tents of the weapon full in the breast,
DR.. 0'Leary was called in, and succeed
ed in extracting fifteen bird-shot from
the wounds, which may prove fatal.
The wOuld-be mUrderess was taken be-
fore Justice Adler, and sent TO jail to
await the result of the injuries Of Mrs.
Shaw.

From an Occasional Correspondent.l
JACKSON, Tenn, July 19.-Jackson,
you know, is an enterprising, growing
town, claiming an inhabitance of eight
thousand, and is older than Memphis,
was founded in A. D., 1922. Heace
many of the buildings were antiquated,
most of which have already been re-
moved and replaced by handsome, sub
ssantial houses. This work is still going
on, besides many additional improve
ments in the way of business houses,
machine factories, street grading, etc.,
all of which gives it so flourishIng an
appearance as to induce me to try it as q
business point. Memphis has many at
fractions, most of which are local or
stationary; but 1 am happy to say
that some of its brightest attrac-
tions, such as her fair daughters, the
APPEAL, ETC., etc., are portable, and
can be induced, both for love and
money, to leave the home of their
childhood for other, though less genial
and attractive climes. The one 1 know
from experience and observation; the
other from faith In her vows. What
are our views in reference to the pro-
priety and importance of forming a
new State out OF the territory of West
Kentucky, West Tennessee and North
Mississippi? Would it not make the
most delightful, prosperous and attract

The citizens here are enthusiastic on
the subject. Great preparations are be-

residence Of his father, Bedford N Estes
Esq, In this city.
It is rare luxury in this world to speak OF
a life without one stain, and OF death which
gave no pain except that keen sense Of be-
reavement which tells how truly he was ap-
prec1ated and how deeply beloved. Bred up
am the temptations of a city, he remained
an utter stranger to all its vices, and lived
among bis loving sisters with a gentieness
and purity like their own. But that Christian
nurture to which he owed 50 much had
taught him the need of a better hope than
human virtue. And so, having given his
heart to God, four days after his sixteenth
birthday, he obeyed his SayiOur's command
to confess Him before men. A consistent
walk Tor two and a half years proved tue
reality OF that confession. And when death
other ears than those to which they were ad-
DIRE sed, confirming hopes which worlds could
not buy.
Our warmest sympsthies are given to an
h0nored father who mourns for his first born
son; and to tender hearted sisters 10 whom
this brother brought no tears, save those
which fall now ab his grave. The sainted
mother that bore him was doubtless the first
70 welcome MIN in Heaven; Dut she who had
cherished him with equal affection, soOthed
his dying ear with the last sounds Of earthly
love, and received in return his last look OF
recognition. May this blameleas life and
glorious death impress upon the many young
hearts that loved him the inspired less N
