tions, has not only heavy city patron

BILE retail trade throughout this section,
and we are glad to know it is extending.
Ladies or others desiring any thing in

promptly as if they made the selection
ir person, by informing Mr.. Barton what
they desire.
Our valued friend and correspondent.

terprising and successful young men of
agricultural Proclivities in this divis-
ion, was in the city last Saturday.
The show has come and gone, and

John TabIer, printer well known to
Of Io Of Of
yellow fever last week at Chattanooga.
He was native of Huntsville, Ala. and
married Miss Nancy j Havely, of Knox
vile, who died year or so afterwards.
John Tabler was warm hearted, genial
man, a. printer that would not shiFk or
play off, and if he had his faults, as all

the recollection of his goodness of heart.
The postmaster at Carriers Depot, Mr.,
Harrison Hendricks, than whom more
stauneh and consistent Republican does
not live, cannot conscientiously support
Mr.. Pettibone. He is therefore notified
by the authorities at Washington that
unless he Immediately falls into line, his
resignation viii be acceptable. This Of
civil service rule which prohibits any
one holding United States office from
using his influence to control an cleo
ton. It seems that it receives only a
one-sided enforcement. Numerous Unit
ed States Marshals, Route Agents, &C.,
are not only using their influence but
are actively canvassing in Petitioners
behalf. Col Thos III. Reeves, Unit
ed States Commissioner is in the field as
a speaker in Pettibone's interest. To
them nothing is said. They are not
called upon to resign. But because Mr..
Hendricks can't support Pettibone he
must be supplanted. And yet this is a
land of liberty and free thought.-Jones-
