Mr.. VIII Craig was sitting in
Court SQUARE in the city of Mem
phis last Thursday when he heard
a steamboat whistle at the wharf
near by. III be gentleman! II
there amt jackass right here in
town. Let's go see him, fellows.
What a voice.
Messrs. j. L. Hill d. Co, dealers
in hardware, groceries, etc. not on
ly carry large and complete stocks
but sell cheap, and treat customers
courteously. They also handle
lime, cement, land plaster, agricul-
tural machinery etc. We ask at
tention to their several cards in this
paper.
The Tennessee House lots were
sold Monday, Capt. Wilkes buying
three and Mr.. Glib. Townsend one.
They brought $3.50. They will
be built upon at once, we hear
business houses. The Bank is
making arrangements now TO build
and the prospect is that the whole
west side will be built up this fall.
Mr.. j. Leede, the accomplished
Watch Maker and Jeweler, form erly
with Winship, has set up to himself
ut the Book Store. 1t is hardly worth
our while to commend Mr.. Leede to
people who have known him SO
long and well as a workman in
watches and jewelry. He asks for
share of the public patronage
through our columns.
The vote on the babies did not
change from our announcement
last week No more votes were
taken Thursday and it still stands,
Sallie Will Ballentine 2l0, Sam Nc
Cord, 2O9, j. F. Grant 81. W f.
Ballentine 81, scattering 40. There
promised to be great excitement
Thursday, but a misunderstanding
arose and the voting stopped.
We have been sleeping several
nights upon a Spring Bed Bottom
made by Mr. Castleman who is
about to start a mandatory here,
and we can testify to its ease and
comfort. 1t is also very durable and
can be taken apart. We hope the
people will patronize him so that
he may be able to stay. One of his
Bottoms answers every purpose Of
a feather bed at one fourth the
cost and is vastly superior in all
respects.
Mr.. A. +. Mays horse, Lancaster,
became frightened while turning
around in front of Mrs james f. |
Smiths residence Monday, and |
turned the sullly over and ran down
the sidewalk as far as Mayor Mar
tins before breaking loose from it.
Willie May was driving and was
thrown out, but escaped injury.
The horse was caught near the
Square and Immediately hitched in
again, as gentle as ever. He didn't
appear to be frightened much.
Mrs. Mamie Davidson, wife of
Mr.. G. n. Davidson of this county,
lied at Pleasant Valley, Bedford
county, at the home o! her mother,
Mrs. Z. J. Newsom, on the 25th of
April, of consumption, aged thirty
years. She leaves a fond husband
md three orphaned children to
MOURN her loss. She protested re-
igion in 1864 and joined the Bap-
list church, and was not only pre-
pared but perfectly willing to die.
We sincerely sympathize with the
1ereaved husband and children.

n it than any Club ever organized

his whole country this season.
The Columbia Herald and Mail
says: Miss Mary Warder, young
ady in this vicinity, being in bad
health, went TO DR.. Brocker, the
doctor, several months ago.
% see whether he could do any
hing to alleviate her sutJerings.
The doctor rubbed her head one
ime with some of his oils, and
,vcr since the rubbing, she has seen
gradually losing her mind, until
'he is now n raving maniac. Her
brothers and sisters, and especially
ler aged mother, have the sympa
hies of the entire community.
Anathemas, imprecations, and
.urses were lavishcd upon Parson
3rownlow from every quarter for
he past six cen years, and the PEG
DE cried because the dictionary
no words adequate To the
subject, and now the newspapers
hat once deliphteU in reVilin1 him
