EDIToRs WING AND TRIBUNE:
MeSsrs. John V. WOrley and Samuel J..
Barlow, who purchased the right of terri
tory OF McNaiTy and that portion Of Har-
din county west Of the river, for the sale
Of the Buck Eye Bee Hive" will COM
mence in few days TO canvass McNairy
with the wonderful invention. This hive
Is superior to anything have ever seen as
a home for bees. Its construction is simple
and IL entirely ImperyiOuS to the raVages
of moths, being so cOnsi ructed that the
''miller'' enters drawer below the honey
department, which Is separated from the
drawer by a wire gauZc' In this drawer
the "millCr" deposits its eggs. and here the
moth ends its career. without making the
acquaintance Ot the frugal tenants above.
The gum is filled with movable frames,
which render the process Of TObbing easy
snd simple. These frames can be removed
at pleasure. One frame or a dozen can be
taken out at the same time. The fact that
Mr. Morley offers it to the people Of the
aforesaid territory, Is a sufficient recon-
mendation for the hive, for he is one Of the
solid men Of Hardin cousty, and would be
the last man TO invest IN a thing that did
not bear the marks of genuineness. Be-
sides he has fairly tested it during the past
twelve months.
William Hughes, near Coffee Landing,
Hardin county, died on the 2ist inst. His
death has been expected for several months.

| see no reason that men should resort TO
means other than honesty TO obtain the sub.
stantials Of life in this corn and hog cOun-
try, but one OF Hardin's citizens was re-
Gently the loser of several "clear Sides"
and having no recollection OF selling TO his
ncishbOrS, he concluded that they must
have disappeared by slight of hand. He OBJ
tanned 4 SCalCh warrant, which resulted in
finding the pOrCine Tectangies in the custo-
dy Of man who every body supposed had
an abundance Of bacon:
The wheat crop on the river is unusually
promising this year, but it i feared that
il viii be injured by an overflow.
The river i rising rapidly, and IL the
rains extended east, q weepIng irCshet is
inevitable.

cumulatcu unlll he now ranks with the in

Fity not surpassed by any.
