The streets and alleys should be kept as
clean as possible. Many of the alleys in spe-

writer asserted had ninety and nine stenches,
besides several well-de6ned stinks.

dulged in picnic at Horn Lake, Mississippi.
A correspondent writes that the crowd was
large. John T. Moore delivered long adj
dress on the subject of temperance. G. P.
M. Turner made speech, and instead OF
talking about the Temperance cause, on
which he was invited to speak, delivered a
stump speech on the history of the National
party in Tennessee and Shelby county, and
announced himself as the nominee of that
party. He made the usual promises, and
took his seat. Mr.. Hitzfeld called upon him
itics, and say something about temperance,
minus temperance politics.
up to twelve o'clock last night but one
arrest had been made by the police, and that
was for drunkenness. The man, with his
wife and child, had reached the city with the
intention of locating here. He had some
seventeen dollars, got drunk, was arrested
and locked up, and, on being searched" had2
but five dollars left at twelve o'clock last
night During the rain, his wife, carrying
two carpet-sacks. and his child, little
girl aged some six years, visited the station
house for the purpose of getting the man OUT
and carrying HIM back to the clearinghouse.
They went back to the cell wherein he was
confined and talked to him, but he had to
remain locked up until morning, when he
will meet the recorder. 1t was a sad sight,
one that spoke volumes in favor of the sue
cess of the Murphy or any other temperance
movement.
