our efforts to publish a good paper,
we hope all whose terms Of suhscrip-

hard squeeze for US to pull through

with equal force to advertisers.
Some scamp attempted to get into
the house of w. NJ. Mccall, while
he was absent in Middle Tennessee,
but failed. The thief picked the putty
off of the window glass trying to
make an opening to get the window
fastenings loose. That dwelling house
is at least tbiefproof, I'VE expect for
more reasons than enc ard We advise
all the lightfngered tribe to pass
it by.
Some thief, last week, attempted to
steal some bacon from Thomas j. Har-
rison, Esq, on Third street, ard sue
ceeded SO far as 20 get Into the smoke
house, having wrenced the door open
and entered. But Tom had "the
ends on him" for not a pound of meat
was to be found in that neat-house
We don't boast of cur piety much,
and would have said q few "cuss
words" just then, had We been that
thief.
The "poor mans blanket should
not be forgotten in this cold. winter.
Two thieknesses of paper are better
than q pair of blankets, and much
lighter for those who dislike heavy
bsd clothing. \ spread made of
dosble layers Of paper tackled together,
between a covering of chintz or calico,
is really desirable household article.
Make it of soft paper, and place it
between the blanket aud the counter
pane.

Editor Erchanee:
The trial Of Messrs. Reagan and
Sappington for passing counterfeit
money, terminated last Fri lay. The
magistrates arriving at the conclusion
that the facts in the case warranted
them in sending thess lcfendants' case
before the Circuit Court for final
hearing. Mr. Reagan, however, com
promised the matter with the lawyers
AMI magistrates by paying them the
sum of FIVE hundred dollars, so the pros
ecution ceased. Thus YOU see how the
law is administered in this county.
The Circuit Court is in session here
at present. One of the first eases on
the docket was a suit by Johnson q
Sharp against Mr. Utley for the sum
of $500, fees earned, us they alleged,
in defending Mr. Utley's son some
time ago. in Il Law suit which origina-
ted out of a shooting scrape.
Mr. Utley declined to pay the above
exorhitant sum and hence the lawsuit,
which resulted in his favor. The
jury having allowed Sharp & john
son only $3.50 instead of $500 as
clAimed.
am informed that there is a breach
of promise case OF the docket, which,
I am certain, viii prove Interesting

damages claimed, probably $4,000
or less. The parties concerned in the
case are some Of the lineal descendants

Editor Exchange.
Our town is looking with bright
anticipation to a beautiful springtime
which is so near ut hand. Farmers
are preparing their lands and fence for
another crop, which is very much
needed ut this time. The health of
our citizens has been unusually good
during the past year, but we notice
quite number complaining Of the
epizoot, which seems to be rather cpl
demic during the cold weather which
has been SO plentiful this winter.
Dyer has become quite famous for
new inventions. which speaks much
for the enterprise and | diligence Of
her inhabitants. The patent hame is
one of the grandest inventions of the
age, and all who want to try them
should ca i on Mr. Wilson Hearn, who
is the inventor of this new device for
fitting all horses without the least
trouble and time.
Our school has been doing well un-
der the able management of Prof
Croford, who has been instructing the
Juveniles with the utmost attention
and ability. On last Friday it was
our painful duty to witness the burial
of Ms I. n Bready, who died very
suddenly on Thursday morning, after
long confinement. We sympathize
very much with her bcreaved family
and friends.
Business at present is very dull, but
if the people want cheap goods, come
to Dyer, for Messrs. Biggs & Barnes
are selling out their entire stock of
dry goods at cost. We notice Mr. J.
". Wyatt has a good stock of drugs
and groceries on hand all the time,
give him cal, nd chat Charlie awhile
if you want bargains. Before leaving
our city give Mr. J. P. Snoddya call,
for he is well supplied with dry goods,
drugs and groceries, and Tommie will
sell them to yos in business like man
ner. There are many other items of
news, such as late marriages and fine
specimens If newborn babies, which
we will tell about next time. II. B.
