Expectations more than realized; eX-
cursiOn Monday; / will arrive tO-mOr-
row." The Louisville and Nashville
and Great Southern railroad will run a
special car over its line, which is now
one of the very best in America.
Last night Councilman J. D. Dan
bury showed US seven Irish potatoes that
weighed six pounds. They are of the
Early Rose variety, and were planted
! by Councilman DanbuTy the last day OF
] February. He thinks the success Of this
crop is due to the mode of cultivation
which he has pursued, the ground being
SUBSIDIZED to the depth Of twenty-eight
! inches. 1t can no longer be doubted but
| that the city council has g granger
among its members.
We learn that the undertaking Of
| Mr.. Carl Schlich's meets with the appTo-
| baton OF our citizens. He is making
strong efforts to protect our merchants,
and for comparatively small sum. He
/ is the right man in the right place, and
/ should be encouraged. He expects by
| the first OF July Hext to put fifteen men
| Of good standing in the field. The small
area designated would by his mode be
guarded as well il not better than it
We see that special inducements are
offered all who would avail themselves
of the opportunity to visit Warm
Springs, Madison county, North CARROLL
ma. The Tound-trip ticket is but thirty
three dollars and ninety cents, price
which is unusually low, especially in
consideration of the salubrious climate,
romantic scenery, aud valuable medi-
cinal qualities of the water. Again,
the remarkably low rate of board for the
excellent accommodations are great in
ducements. See the card OF the Warm
springs.
"A brilliant party Of friends and rela-
tives assembled on Sunday evening at

solemniZed according to the rites Of the
Jewish church, by Rev. Rabbi Samfield,
and the happy couple, after formal

Wishers.

Another case of witchcraft is re-
ported in Chelsea, the victim being
respectable lady who was recently
visited by two white women. The
hOudoOs told her to empty her bed Of its
feathers aud that she would find some
thing there. The lady did as requested,
and was amazed to find bunch of hair,
curiOusly tied up and mixed with weeds.
The women told her that her husband
would be i'll very soon and that she had
been hOudooed. Since then she has
been quite i'll, and we understand that
some Indignation is felt by the neigh
bOrs toward the two houdoo women, who
are said to keep vegetable-stalls ate one
Of the markethouses. 1t is reported
that they will be indicted by the grand
jury in order to put stop to their witch
craft.
Last Saturday two negro deck
hands on the steamer Frank Forrest,
had a difficulty which resulted in the
painful stabbipg of one, the wound be-
Ing in the groin. Mr.. II r Haynes, of
this city, who was passenger on the
boat, had the negro arrested and tried
before justice of the peace al Osceola,
Arkansas. The negro who .infict the
wound goes by the name of Andy
White, and is now in Jail at Osceola
awaiting the September term Of the
circuit court. The stewart OF the Frank
Forrest informed Mr.. Haynes that
Andy is the negro Green who some
time last year stabbed the mate Of the
Natchez, and then fed the country.
He has since called himself Andy White,
so We see that negro has changed from |
Green to White, and yet is not happy. |
The wounded negro was brought to this |
city, and is now in the hospital.
The APPEAL was honored last night |
with a serenade by the Chickasaw |
Guards, headedEby Arnold's Old Mem
phis brass band-the first the crack |
and the latter the crack musical |
of the south. The Chicka- |
saw Guards is composed of some of the |
first young men Of the city, who take
great pride in their company, as is mani
fest in the rapid strides they are making
toward perfection in drill and military |
The selections by the band
were some of the best in ArnOld's re-
pOTtOiTe-the latter, an GRdunte, excel
Iently rendered. Three rousing cheers
were given for the OLD APPEALSand
Mr.. ]. M. Heating was called for, and
in thanks for the honor, and
paying deserved compliment to the
Chickassw Guards. Professor Arnold
and his gentlemen musicians, have also
the thanks OF the APPEAL for the beau
tiful selections given on the occasion.
Last night Rev. DR.. Walk delivered
his lecture upon "Spurgeon and His
WOTksn to an appreciative audience, at
the Linden-Street Christian church.
Rev. DIR. Walk, while in England,
spent four weeks with Spurgeon, and
was thereby afforded an opportunity of
becoming acquainted with the great d.
vine, whose eloquence and learning
have made him the greatest pulpit ora
.or Of Europe. To judge by the character
of Rev. DR.. Walks lecture last night,
we are inclined to believe that he made
good use Of his acquaintance with Spur
geon in cleaning facts, incidents and
Information. These were embodied so
in his lecture and expressed
With such precise taste that the audience
asst night was afforded treat Of rare In
crest. The lecture was well worthy Of
he occasion, and in its every feature did
credit to the talent and genius of DR..
Walk.
The &rst circuit court, Judge Heis-
zell presiding, was enlivened yesterday
morning by rOugh-and-tumble fight
between King Poston and J. r, Robert
son, attOrneys-at-laW, who were engaged
u trying suit. a dispute arose about
receipt, and Mr.. Robertson called Mr..
PostOn liar; thereupon the latter seized
! bible, which he hurled with good eff
ect at the head Of the former, who in
urn threw Carutherss History Of a
Lawsuit at his foe. The two lawyers
next clinched, but King quickly threw
Robertson down, when Clerk Coleman |
and Attorney Weatherford staid further
by Selling the combatants
md separating them. The outraged
lightly of the court was then asserted,
he belligerents being fined fifty dollars
ZACH, which sums were paid in to the
Jerk. AS the presence OF the deputized
heriff was deemed necessary in the
,ourt, this official was lined twenty-five
lollars because he was not there TO pre-
erve order.
