mended to the mercy OF the Court. The
Court committed her punishment TO line
Of one cent and Imprisonment two hours in
the county jail, and the payment Of all
costs in the suit. The Grand Jury found
thirty-four indictments.
POSTAL CARDs.-We are indebted TO
Capt. L. T. Lindsay for samples Of the u.
S. Postal Cards, recently issued from the
PostofIice Department az Washington
They are about the size and shape Of an
ordinary Envelope, made Of Bristol board,
stamped on one side, and intended to su-
percede the old mode Of ordinary CORES
Pondence. Upon the stamped side the adj
dress is written while the letter is written
on the other. They are worth one cent,
and will prove very sonyenienr ana eco
nomical to the commercial world, while at
the same time they seem to invite "sells,"
SANDER and black-malling. If one wants
to annoy his debtor they will prove charm
ing agents, and when one desires to express
his private sentiments publicly, they will
be invaluable. In short, for ordinary

but when it comes TO affairs Of the heart,
and other private matters, they will prove
either sad failures or dangerous mediums.
BOLIVAR AND HENDERSON STATION
During last week we had pleasant inter
view with Col. John ]. Nicely, of Bolivar,
who spoke encouragingiy of the growth
and development of that ancient town, and
predicted for it continued prosperity in the
future. He assured Us that The Knoxville
and Memphis Road was a fixed faet-that
the grading from Bolivar TO Henderson
Station had been let out, and that the work |
was steadily advancing. This is but a link |
Of the whole line, but it is an important |
one, and the road will not stop at either |
Bolivar or Henderson. The necessities of |
commerce ana the demands OF capital Will /
push it onward, both Eastward and West
ward; and the advantages of a great trunk
line will be lost to our people. Let ID be so.
It will make Henderson Station q large
own. Her natural advantages are among
he best, and her position commands a
wide scope Of fertile country whOse rich
trade will be poured into her lap. She will
grow as never before, and her general pros
Derity will be shared by the country round
lbOut her, and, as our paper is devoted to
he development Of the whole of West Ten
iessee, we chronicle the material progress
II our neighbors with unmixed satisfaction.
We wish all the towns around us unbound
d prosperity, and hope that none of them
will take offence because we occasionally
indulge little pleasantly at their expense.
