years old came into town Tuesday
evening. He looks very pitifal and it
was impossible to gain any informa>

to the Centennial at half fare, good

mending Linck's European Hotel to
the travelling public as the best in

will stop there again.
We had the pleasure of dining with
the elegant family of Col. j. o. Grif-
fifth, of the Rural Sun, one day last
week. We are glad to learn that the

paper, and ought to be in every house.
Cheatham & Kinney, Nashville, are
the largest wholesale liquor dealers

sell at bottom figures. Besides that,
they are gentlemen of polished man
ners and unimpeached integrity.
Our young friend, W. E. Turner,
has our thanks for some fine tobacco
and bottle of excellent mustard.
He has just opened a handsome stock
of groceries and confectioneries in the
post Office building, and will sell as
cheap as anybody. We hope he will
receive a liberal patronage. Give
him trial.
Prof. Finney has secured Prof. j.
NJ. Paschal, late of New Middleton
