is back again, and looking as well as
possible. se+'.
Capt J. NJ. Brown, of the firm of S.
G. & J. NJ. Brown, Tazewell, was in
town Saturday last, experimenting the
unloading and re-loading of his mann
moth stock of dry goods and groceries.
1t is the firms intention to open out the
largest and best selected stock of goods
ever on exhibition in their town, and
their determination to underselI all in
their line of business. From a mere
glimpse at the huge boxes which Capt.
Brown Informed us was only an advance
supply, we feel satisfied that the citizens
of Tazewen will enjoy one of the rich
est sights on the grand opening day that
has ever been experienced in their town.
Let the ladies, especially, prepare to
supply their wardrobe, for this will be
an advantage which does not often fall
to their lot The firm proposes to sell
the best of coffee ut % cents per ID. , and
everything else at q correspondingly low
figure. We wish these polite and ener-
getic merchants the best of success in
the disposal of their large and varied as
sOTtment of merchandise.

'ress aud Herald, 11tl

Shortly after eleven o'clock, last night,
Henry H Holdren, proprietor of the Yir-
ginia saloon, on west side of Gay street,
above Reservoir, was shot by James
Collins, bar-keeper of the saloon at the
flag pond, on Gay street. The shooting
occurred in a rear room of Holdren's
saloon. From eyewitnesses Of the
affair we CLEAN the following partie-
ulars:
A party of four, among them Hob
dren and Collins, had been playsng ''eu-
chre" in the room where the shooting
afterward occurred, the two men nam
ed being opponents in the game. Col
Inns lost the game, and accused HOl-
dren of rubbing out" two of the chalk
marks which, we are given to under
stand, eucher players make on the table
to keep the score Of the game Holdren
denied the accusation, and a wordy
quarrel ensued Collins was seen to
take hispistol from a rear pocket, place
it in his pants pocket and keep his hand
on it. Holdren went into a front room,
presumably to get his revolver I'M
mediately on his his return firing COM
menced. Five shots were fired, and Hol-
dren exclaimed he was shot. Collins
fed, and though soon afterwards search
was made for him by the police, he had
not been found up to two o'clock this
morning.
Physicians were sent for, and Drs.
Jno B. Boyd, Fayette Rogers, and
Sam. B. Boyd, soon arrived and gave
Holdren the necessary medical attention.
The wound was in the stomach, to the
left of his median line. The chance of
his recovery is slim.
Holdren is about thirty-fve years of
age. and unmarried. Collins is about
twenty three years old, and also unmar-

Officers Deary, Cain and Harvey were
soon on the scene, and immediate search
was made for Collins, but without sue

Professor Bonhan1.

Last Thursday night this gentleman
gave one of his inimitable entertain
ments in the Circuit Court room to a
large and apprcciative audience. The
selections were mostly new, and most
admirably rendered. If there is any diff
ference between Bonham now and year
ago, it consists in a greater development
of pathos and sentiment. The rendition
of the g Polish Boy" and the Raven"
was so exqlisitely beautiful and affect
ing that criticism would take away the
charm. We have but one regret. The
acoustics Of the room is miserable. We
feel deeply chagrfned to know that we
are afflicted with such a room, otherwise
elegant and attractive. When win arch
fleets learn common sense?

Gallatin Examiner, 9th.


Sumner county wheat is looking
charmingly.
Robert McGhee, one of the oldest cit
liens of the county died near Castalian
Springs last, Monday. He was past
eighty years of age.
The final decision by the Supreme
Court of the case of the county of Sum-
ner against the L. & n. r. r. Co., for
the recovery of taxes for 1874, puts a
cool $1O,150 into the county treasury.
This will be good news to our tax-pay-
ers In addition to the above, the State
gets "a, 7OO-making a total of $14,250
which the company will have to pay on
that portion of the road lying in Sumner
county.
There is considerable opposition to the
dog-law passed by the late General AS
sembly, and its enforcement will create
stir in some portions of the county
and this in view of the fact that, last
year, according to the Report of the De-
partment of Agriculture, 800 sheep were
killed by dogs in Sumner county which
were reported, which does not represent
the full number by considerable per
cent. Lord Dog is an autocrat in Sum

ToRIoUs.
THE second Spelling Match came of
Saturday night under rather unpropi-
tfous circumstances. The rain had been
falling in copious showers all evening,
and was pouring down at the hour OF
meeting; and more, the Match seemed
to have been gotten up without the spe-
cial supervision of anyone, and, there
fore, everything was in confusion. How
ever, quite goodly number assembled,
arrangements were made, and the spell
ing went on. 1t was a contest between
twelve ladies and twelve gentlemen; the
former having challenged the latter

Mrs. Trent had any use for, so she

very readily devoured it. But this was

ladies must have another trial On the
second sound the fair ladies showed that
they were not only equal, but superior,
to the worthy foe.

dropping out alternately on either side.

KIDwELL's BRIDGE, Tenn,
March 4 1875.

March 4, 1875.
To the CnURcH-We, your commit
tee, charged with the duty of writing the
obituary of brother WIN. RAMSEY, SUBJ
nit the following:
Our departed brother was born Au-
gust 8, 1917; was united to the Church
A. D., 1871, and died January 26, 1875,
in his 5Sth year His first connection to
the Church was at Blackwell's Branch,
1871, transferred to Kidwell's Ridge,
January 1, 1S4S, in whose fellowship he
lived and trusted for twenty-seven years,
dying at length amidst the tender atten-
tions of his family, and friends.
The most prominent traits in the char
acter of our brother may be condemned
in the following statement:
Our departed brother was raised by
pious parents. Approaching manhood,
he served as apprentice under his grand
father, where doubtless lessons of ex-
cellence were impaired.
VIM. r. was kind husband, Affection
ate father Cheerful in all things; sub
hitting to the loss of parents, brothers,
sisters, and children. A stainless Church
member, bearing his full share of the
expenses of the Church.
Your committee submit to your ac-
ton the following resolution:
Resolred, That feeling as we do, our
own loss, as a Church, yet do we sympa-
thize with the bereft family of our de-
parted brother, and we will join them
saying, blessed are they who have
given their hearts to the Lord"
Respectfully submitted.
