The sanity church member cannot
sell whisky here and be respected as

young man pay his addresses to our
first-ciass bellies in every case.
Our town has not a vacant house,

Last Friday evening man named
Williamson brought the horse home,
having found him near Danville, on
the Tennessee river, where the boy
had sold him for So, and made good
his escape. The purchaser at first
refused to give up the horse, and
drew his knife to prevent his being
taken-but Williamson covered him
with a revolver and he wilted.

Collision mt the Crossing.

L. d n. 6, northbound Accommo-
dation train ran into Miss. Central
freight last night. The NJ. c. train
was backing up over the crossing,
and the l.. & n. not seeing them
could not stop before making the col
lision. One box car on n. G. train
wrecked, and pilot of L & n engine
broken. The accident delayed L d n
north and south-bound passenger
trains Nos. l and 4, and NJ G No. 8
about two hours. No one hurt. We
don't pretend to blame any one spec
tally, but there is a fault somewhere.
A danger signal, it seems to US, should
be erected at the crossing, and the
headlight at the upper end of the
platform ought to be lighted. We
know this, though, that trains do not
always come to a full stop before
crossing, as the laws of the state re-
quire. This was narrow escape for
a passenger train.

Advice.

The Carrolton (Mo.) Democrat, a
lively and somewhat spicy paper, vol
untecrs the following advice, which it
would be well were it taken here:
Don't carry your hymn book in
your hand when you go to the house
of worship and your ledger in your
head. The Lord can see through
your skull.
Don't, when in church, chew tobac-
co and spit all over the floor. You
would not do 50 in your own house,
and you ought not to do so in the
house you respect more.
Don't think when you have gone
to church on Sunday that entities you
to do as YOU please the rest Of the
week. The upright man lives
through the six days as he does the
seventh.
Don't walk into the house of wOr-
ship with your hat on. You bare
your head when you enter young
ladies parlor. Is your young friend
entitled to more respect than your
Creator?
Don't think your Creator is under
any obligation-to you for the quarter
YOU gave for converting the heathen ;
that is only a small fraction you owe
for turning your own ancestors away
from their wooden gods.
We don't say that those boys, who,
on Sunday evening last, in the vesti-
bale of the NJ. L. Church, South,
were trying to stand each other on
the head, ought TO have their necks
broken, but we do say that their par
ents should hold such muscular ar
gument with them that the young
rascals would regard it luxury to
take their meals standing for week
or 50.

General Freight Agent Charles l..
Fitch, of the Mobile q Ohio railroad,

Statistics and Mines, that the expor-
tation of wheat from Tennessee sta
tons for the past twelve months
amounted to 1871, ,271 pounds, 49,
52e l1-60 bushels. This statement
does not include the wheat ground

Gated at nearly all stations above

On the recommendation of Mr.

gers, as well asroute agents and postal
clerks to provide himself during the
next sixty days with uniform, to be
worn whenever on duty. The uni>

The Mississippi Central Railroad,
it seems, has gone into the hands Of
new men, and the name has been
changed to "The Central Mississippi
Company 1t Is understood that
the stock is largely owned by the Hi
nois Central Company, and that it
will be under their management.
Gen Neely and Judge James Fen~
tress, of Bolivar, are directors in the
new corporation. The DEBT due the
State-s1, 800, ,000-is to be paid inn
mediateiy. No doubt this is a good
arrangement for the road and fo- the
people along its line.
The New York Evening" Post, of

ed Oh authority that the recent state
ment in the Financial Chronicle that
the proceedings in the United States
court at jackson, Mississippi, in the
foreclosure suit for possession of the
Mississippi Central railroad were
stayed by an injunction, is erroneous.
The court ordered the delivery of the
deed to the purchasing committee
representing the holders of the consol-
idated mortgage bonds, the majority
of the bonds being held by the Him

the property, now i'll their hands, is
