EuTr0Es WING AND TRlEUNE
All Is peace and quietude in these
parts at present. the excitement over
the recent trouble with and on ac-
count of the blacks has ceased. Mon
dav the citizens in and around Pick
ettville, together with the negroes of
that community, met a. that place in
consultation over the unhappy affair
that occurred there a little more than
a week before. \ number of speeches
we're made-oue of them by a negro -
deuOuncing the Trenton and Pickett
Vile outrages, and urging the use Of
all legal means TO apprehend and pun
ish the guilty-both white and black.
About one third of the number pres
ent were negroes, who heartily en-
dorsed the resolutions adopted by the
meeting. The result is, quietude
reigns in that recently disturbed COM
munity. 1t Is due the blacks in Mi
Ian and vicinity, to state that not one
of them has been implicated in any
way with the PickettvIlle affair.
Richard Blair, who lives about five
miles east of town, was arraigned be-
fore Esq. JOrdOn Saturday, charged
with the murder Of Henry Karnes,
colOred, who was taken out and killed
a few nights before, but he proved an
rlibi and was released. 1t seems that
while intoxicated the day after the
murder, he stated that he was one of
the number who killed the negro,
which upon SOLDERING he denied.
Rob't Gates, of the Wing and Tri-
buue passed up the road Saturday
morning with his family TO Paris, re-
turning Monday night, and stopped
over until next morning, when he
took the train for Padacah. He gave

5PROS PECTUS
OF THE
HEN DERSON ADVOCATE.

L propose to commence the publica-
ton of paper, entitled as above, in
the fourishing town of Henderson,
twenty miles South ofJackson and at
the crossing of the Mobile and Ohio
and Memphis and Knoxville railroads.
OF the town, and its future prosperi-
ty, shall have much to say hereafter.
My past history, 1 hope, will leave
no doubt on the public mind of my
entire devotion to the peculiar inter
ests of Tennessee, and, especially, to
the growth and prosperity of this
division of the State, and l may say,
without mourning the imputation of
egotism, that have contributed, in
no small degree, to the attainment of
that end. My efforts, in this direc-
ton, shall by no means cease, but,
on the contrary, be stimulated with
renewed energy in the enterprise in
which I have resolved to embark.
1t is scarcely necessary for me to
say that, as editor of the Vest Tennes-
see Wig, for thirty years, 1 always
advocated the principles of the Wing
party. did so from. "a deep convic-
ton of the purity and correctness of
the principles and policy of that par
ty. Nor have 1 changed my senti-
ments in this respect. The develop
ments of the last thirteen years have
demonstrated, by a terrible lesson,
how much the country would have
gained in material prosperity and the
perpetuation Of good government,
had the wise and honest teachings of
the old Wing party bean followed.
However, there is no utility in speak
ing of this at present. The past is ir-
revocable. tits the future with which
we have to deal.
As to the character of my forth
coming journal, 1 VIII state that I do
not, and shall not belong to any exist
ing political party. 1 do not intend
to be a partizan editor. We already
have had too many partizan editors
and partiza2 politicians for the good
of the country. 1 shall, therefore,
steer clear of the party strifes of the
present day, aud direct my new barque
in more peaceful channels. Govern
ed by a spirit of conservatism, look
ing to the substantial good Of the
town where 1 propose to make my
home, regarding the glory and pros
perity Of the noble old State Of Ten
ncssee, with her people Of all condi-
lions, aud loving and generating the
Federal Union with sentiments of
patriotism, I shall, rs editor. stand
on the deck of my new barque, with the
helm IL hand, resolved TO
steer in those channels which lead to
the blessed haven OF national liberty,
and glory, avoiding, on either hand
the dangerous rocks Of prejudice and
party passion upon which our State
and National fortunes have recently
been SO feariully wrecked.
hope to be able to issue the first
OF the Advocate early IN o.
tober. 1t will be a large size weekly,
neatly printed with new material,
and filed with thebest reading mat
ter that my long experience in the
newspaper business viii enable me to !
furnish.

Il is so obvious that physical and consti-
tutiOnal vigor is the best defense against
disease, that even the vendors OF drastic
purgatives advertise them as tonics, stom-
achics and invIgorants, in the hope Of en-
listing the confidence Of the public in the
devitalizing and pernicious potions. 1t is
amusing to note how these impOstOrs imi-
tate and copy the language in which the
medicinal properties OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters are described. Although the effect
Of their rasPing eyacuants is to destroy the
tone OF the digestive organs and the bowels,
and to rob the system Of its vital strength,
they are unscrupulously recommended TO
the weak and PROSTATE victims OF disease as
stimUlants! II is time this humbug mot
very successful one II is true, thanks 10 the
mature common sense Of the American
people, was stigmatized as IL deserves.
such mischievous falsehoods should be ex-
posed pro bono pUblieO. Hostetter's stomach
Bitters, be it distinctly understood, is a
stimulant. It has a spirituOus basis, and
that basis is the vehicle which diffuses its
wonderful sanitary principles through ev-
cry part Of the system. The tonic, altera-
tive and regulating ingredients Of the Bit
tiers would be comparatively inert II they
were not, so TO speak, carried 10 the locali-
ties where they are required by the stimu-
lating agent. The can't which protests
against the use of pure alcoholic fluid, |
when employed as a means of giving full |
effect to medicinal extracts OF the highest !
utility, is the cant of charlatanism. Every
intelligent physician so charac' erizes it, |
and the sick who are griped, cOnvulsed and |
@ebilitated by the nauseous and disgusting /
nostrums Of the parties who put it forth, /
soon find to their sorrow that it is a deIusion /
and a snare. Hostetter's Bitters, the great |
sanitary stinulant OF the age, is, in The |
truest sense OF the words, wholesome, vi |
-alizing, renoyating preparation

In consequence Of the unusually Sc
we're drought which has prevailed SO
generally throughout this and sur,
rounding counties, the crops will
necessarily be short, and all IN
terests will be proportionately affected
by it. But with proper economy and
a mutual support of all local interests,
all may pass the "hard times with
out serious damage.
Recognizing the fact that the Fall
and Winter seasons viii soon be upon
us, and there viii be wearing apparel.
and certain housekeeping goods that
are indispensibly necessary, we have
carefully prepared a memorandum,
and we will, as usual, buy at head
quarters q good stock Of
STAPLE AND FANCY DRY GOODS.
All standard makes, and such goods
as every family viii need.
NOTIONS,
such as are indispensable, and com
prising Hosiery and Gloves, which we
take pleasure to state we will present
in attractive variety and a. prices to
suit every one.
FURNISHING GOODS
of the latest styles and at prices to
defy competition.
BOOTS AND SHOES,
Our steadily increasing trade in this
department justifes us in saying we
cannot be excelled in quality and
prices.
READY-MADE CLOTHING.
We have advantages in this depart
ment, which enable us to offer good
styles and qualities at almost whole

The consumers interest is our in

Approaching very thankfully your

future to merit an increased proper

STILL Manufacturing the past
week 1.-THE Weed" Sewing Machine
has been examined by more people,
and the agents for it have made more
sales than in any corresponding week
during the season. 1t is not to be
expected that any one, in the face of
the fact that other machines are claim
ing superior excellence to "The
Weed" will purchase it without look
ing through the salesrooms of all its
rivals. This is what Mr.. Robt. Ham
ilton, who is always to be found at
No. s, Main street, desires. Whenev-
er ''The Weed" is tested it gives sat
isfaction There are now III this city
and adjoining country, hundreds of
machines of this make, and all who
have them could not possibly be in
duced to exchange them for others
The Weed combines all the merits of
all other machines, aud also has adj
vantages peculiar to itself To the
most ordinary comprehension it must
be obvious that this would naturally
follow. 1t would be very strange if
an inventor, treading in the footsteps
of his forerunners, could not see
their errors and correct them. He
would reject what was bad and retain
what was desirable This is why the
eedis the best machine in the world,
and until some new contestant for
public favor, that in some way excels
it, makes its appearance, it Will be the
favorite of the people.

EDITORS WIG AND TRIBUNE:
Our town has presented quite a war
like appearance for the past few DAYS.
Old guns that have not seen service
since war times, have been resurect-
ed and put IL shooting condition.
Armed men, both white and black
have been seen in the outskirts Of
town wearing a determined look.
Some shooting has been indulged IN
by both, but so far as heard from, no
one has been hurt. We hardly think
it necessary to call for help, as It is
thought all will be quiet soon, as the
large number of squirrels brought in
daily go to show that the supply viii
soon be exhausted, when the old gnns
viii be laid back to await another III
fluX of the bushy tails.
News items are scarce. We have not
had enough rain yet. The crop
estimate for this vicinity is about
one-third of last years yield. Con-
siderable quantities Of rye and tur-
nips are being sOwn.
Our town has been incorporated.
The election for aldermen is being
held to-day. SIMoN.
