QUERY.-We would respectfully inquire
Of the authorities when they intend to
purchase a fire engine? Do they intend
waiting until another block is destroyed? Or
is it thought that the fire bell will prevent
future confiagrationsg 1t might not be
amiss, also, TO inquire when water viii be
turned into the public cisterns? Is it the
intention to wait until after the rainy sea-
son is past?

However, something like sent did linger
behind them.
Father Nolan, of this city, delivered an
eloquent sermon on st. Patrieks day, in
Memphis. We have road it with much |
pleasure as well as instruction, and the |

soon.
/ STOLEN STOLEN Stolen from W. A. |
Slayton, near Friendship, Crockett County, |
on Saturday night, the 22d Of March, 1878, |
a black mare mule, years of age, shaved |
very bare on each side by the harness; |
also shaved bare on the thighs also |
shaved bare on its loins, with a white !
spot on right shoulder from a collar mark
inches long, also sore place on its lip,
white mealy nose, about 1415 hands high,
and rough shod. This mule was fed at
Mans Livery Stable, at Brownsville, on
Sunday morning and the theft carried it of
in SoutherIy direction. l will give S25
for the arrest of the thief, and SIS for the
delivery of the mule to me, or $50 for both.
Address me at Friendship, Crockett Coun
ty, Tenn. W. A sLAYTON.
A SNEAK STHEIF.-On Saturday last a
negro man named Montgomery, stole bolt
of calico from Mr.. Miles HammoAd's store,
on shannon street, but was detected and
arrested by officer McCabe, and turned
over to the Sheriff. Mr.. Hammonds on re-
Election concluded not to prosecute him,
and the negro was turned loose. The dep
relations Of sneak thieves on busy days, is
q growing evil, and the only way to stop il,
is by prosecuting every rascal caught. We
hope such will be the policy in future.
For THE STRING 1RADE.-Our readers
will please bear in mind when making their
purchases this Spring, that j. Z. s. T. E.

the season demands, merchandise to meet
their wants. We would call special atten-
ton to those who buy for cash, to this
house. Read their advertisement. 1t.
PAYING HOTEL BILL.-A penniless
wag a few days ago, got Oh the following
on the Proprietor Of one of our leading
hotels. After boarding a few days the
landlord called on him for his bill. The
wag said he had no money, but that he had
an old pair of pants that mighhgo to settle
his bill. The landlord replied, 81 don't
want the pants, they are no account; you
have eat my meat and bread and you ought
to pay me. The wag replied, "weil sir, the
pants are as good as the fare have had,
and think full legal tender under the
circumstances" This amused the good ma
tured landlord so much that he laughed
and bid the wag go his way pants and all.
SUNDAY AND THE DRUGGIsr.-The
Druggists of this city, as will be seen by
reference to their card in this issue, have
determined to close their doors on Sunday
from 10 O'Clock A. NJ. until o'clock p. NJ,
and then again at O'Clock p, NJ, for the
balance of the evening and night. This is
a move in the right direction, and will be
heartily endorsed by all christians or those
who recognise the necessity, both mentally
and physically, ef one rest day in seven
Physicians should as..far as possible, regulate
their Sunday prescriptions by the hours
fixed by the Druggists; yet, prescriptions
will continue to be filed at all hours.
