PRESTO CUANGE.-There is a North Car
oliniun on the police force Of this city. He
is a good fellow, but has light claybaHk
head and mOu~tachc. He visited the old
North State recently, and quenched his
thirst in Tar River. The tar adherd TO his
aud that apPendage Is now a
glossy black. Strange 20 say he forgot to
dip his head IN; and hence there is a bit Of
a contrast between the hair on his lip and
that on his head. However heis happy.
BAILEY SPRING.-In these piping times
when the cry Of cholera comes up from nj
most all quarters, we can think Of no more
safe, aud ut the same time com 'orfable re-
.reat from all fear Of disease, than at
that delightful place, Bailey sSPrings, Lau-
ierdale County, Ala. IL is about nine
miles from Florence. and Is easily reached
frOm that point. Go and try them, one
time
RABID DOGs.-Several rabid dogs have
been killed IN or near this city during the
past few weeks, and we learn that their
Is increasing. Prudence, wise pre-
caution and duty demands at the hands Of
the city authorities the prompt passage and
strict enforcement Of II dog law, similar to
the one passed last year. II is neither wis
dom or humanity, 70 wait until the actual
loss Of life before acting in this matter.
There is iminent peril, and we think the
safety Of the women and children of the
city should be considered, rather than the
or lives Of half thousand Of
dogs. We hope that the author
ties will have the nerve to act In the inter-
est Of the women and children Of the city
in this matter, rather than yield to the ig-
nOraRt or thoughtless wishes Of few fam
ciers Of the canine race. Let the law Of
asst year be renewed, to take effect from
md after July the LIST
YES, THY VILE BE THERK.-The old /
overland, dirt road Circus and
Aienaserie that f. 10 visit Lexington ON the
10Th, advertises live Whale and the yerit-
able and original Cardiff Giant. "A lucid
and interesting lecture" Is also promised on
Inc occasion, on the subjects Of the Whale
and Giant. OF course the Whale will be
here, and OF course the Cardiff Giant will
be there, and OF course the lecture will be
edifying, and Of course thousands will go
70 sec them and Of course there will be
some little cussing afterwards-all in regu-
lar order. We anticipate Tattliny de-
,cription Of the Whale from Sharp Of the
Reporter, for II there Is anything that he is
lightning ON it is whalebOnes, etc. And
.hon we anticipate very learned essay
from Brooks on the ancestry, birth, life and
death Of the Cardiff Giant. All OF which
viii be cheerful reading.

WEST TENNESSEE FAIR.-The Directors
Of the above Association held meeting in
this City on Monday last. Plans for the
next meeting were discussed, and consid-
cradle important business transacted. \
premium list was adopted which is much
more liberal, and embraces much larger
field than any Premium list ever presented
by 3 similar Association in the State. We
learn, also, that majority Of the Board are
in favor Of erecting permanent buildings Of
large capacity on the grounds OF the Asss-
citation and otherwise improving them
From every indication, and knowing the
President, Secretary and Directors as we
DO, we feel confident that the coming Fall
Meeting VIII far surpass preceding ones in
every element OF interest and success. Let
the citizens of this City and County re-
double their energies and their interest and
prove themselves, as heretofore, equal TO
the occasion
A Cool MURDERER.-E. J. Esson, the
Shelby county murderer, upon whom final
sentence Of death was passed by the Su-
preme Court last week, took the same with
wonderful GOODNESS. After the sentence,
and while returning to the Jail, he remark
ed very calmly 10 Deputy Sheriff Ksndrick,
"Well, by Cd am not dead yet, and 1
eau stand what others have stood" His
color did not change, nor did 4 muscle
CULVER while the dread sentence was being
passed. While en- route for Memphis, there
70 lie in chains until the Sth Of August,
and then suffer death by hanging, he bore
himself calmly and even cheerfully. He
seemed in no way disturbed by remorse,
but spoke bitterly of some one whom he
says swere false against him. Religion OF
repentance seemed far from his thoughts,
and we predict that lac will meet his fate
