"A much to be regretted difficulty
occurred on Main street day before
yesterday, between Capt. S. p. Finer
son and another gentleman. No one
regrets the affair more than the former
gentlemen, who, by the way was one
of 'Tenuessee's most gallant officers
during the war, and made reputation
for bravery second to none. This ia
the first difficulty of this character this
gentlemBn was ever engaged in, and
II will never re-occur if he can possibly
avoid 1t.
Complaints are coming to us daily
of Subscribers not receiving their pa
pers at the Dallas post office. We have
made close examination into our mail
book, and find that our mailing clerk
IL not TO blame in the matter, and
hence must conclude that the fault is
in the Dallas post office. We trust that
Judge Norton will see that his clerks
perform the dnties that they are paid
for. A month or more ago no such
complaints as this were received or,
at least, they We're rare.
We have never seen anything to
surpass the fine French worsteds, dia-
gonals, diamond coatings, chinchillas
and fancy cassimeres now on exhibit
ton at the tailoring establishment of
Douglas Bros. These gentlemen thor
oughly understand their business, and
are perfectly willing to guarantee ev-
cry article of clothing that is purchased
from them, both as regards fit and
quality. Their pioneer establishment
is No. sos Main street, where all who
honor them with their custom will re-
ceive polite attention and the hest Sc
lected goods in the market, at reason
able prices.
Reed 4 Lathrop have juit received
from Aiken, Lambert Il Co., of New
York, an exquisite little showcase,

full and of elegant workmanship and
finish, and would be an acceptable
present to make to lady or gentleman
as Christmas gift Noticeable among
the articles is the celebrated Bowl
penholder, with pen attached, made
of heavy gold and very handsome.
The magic chain pencil is the most
