THE FOURTH OF JULY.

A NATIONAL MOVEMENT FOR IT'S BETTER ON.

A friend encloscs US copy of the Brook
Ign Union and Argus, containing an article
on the proper celebration of the Fourth of
July, from which we make the following
extract:
The use Of gunpowdcr in its multitudin.
Gus applications in the shape Of cannon,
guns, pistols, rockets, etc, as u supposed
appropriate manner Of celebrating the
birthday Of great nation, is gradually
falling into disiavor in this country. The
scantily clad jewellers upon the banks of the
Congo still attach great importance to noise
as u method of manitcsting great depth of
feeling, and the Chinese, hcmmed in by a
wall Of bigo,ry and conservatism, still sees
in his gong and tirecrackes the only fl,
method of expressing his political exulta
ton or propiliaing duty. But Che higher
up we get in the scale of civilization the
more the intellect suparscdcs the physical
senses, and the greater is the demand for
that in popular celebrations which shall ap.
peal to the best instincts and motives ofthc
human breast, and set on foot influences
that shall be permanent and fruitful in
their effect, Especially do we find this
sentiment growing in this country. There
is desire in every American heart 10

AN ASTONISHING FACT.-A large p,opor-
ton Of the American people are TODAY SUI
iering from the effects Of Dyspepsia, Or dis
ordered liver, The result Of these diseases
upon the masses of intelligent and valuable
people is most alarming, making life actu-
ally burden instead of pleasant existence
Of enjoyment and usefulness. There is no
good reason for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skcpticism, take the
advice of druggists and your friends, and try
one bottle of Green's August Flower, your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles
of this medicine have been given away to
try its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy a sample bottle
Tor ten cents to try. Three doses will re-
lieve the worst case, Positively sold by all
druggists on the Western Continent.

The undersigned having recently
purchased the Shepherd stock Of Dry
Goods, Notions, Clothing, Hats,
Boots and Shoes, Hardware, &c, and
having since added to the above stock
a complete line of new and desirable
goods, take this method of informing
the public that We are prepared, and

vince cash buyers that We mean what
We say in the above. Our purchases,
both of the stock of Mr. Shepherd and
goods added since, have been on such
exceptionally good terms, that we are
enabled to give unusally good bargains
and still make living. Give us a
trial. Our terms are cash, or equiv

FEBRUARY, II, 1878.
For several weeks past there has
been nothing to excite our town to
any considerable extent, except that
steps are being taken to incorporate
our little village for the purpose of
selling whisky.
We expected, from the threatening
clouds and fast falling snow, last Sun
day evening, that the earth would
soon be clothed in white; but fortu-
nately it was not.
Our old friend and citizen of this
place for many years, DIR J. l.. Jar
rel, is here on visit. He will go
back to Hot Springs, Ark, shortly,
to engage in his profession.
Rev Joe Mcknight preached at
the e. p. Church last Sunday. We
have a, very moral town, and every
body likes to attend church.
Mr. Willie Davidson is building
nice dwelling house and expects to
move in soon. We expect there will
be several more young house keepers
in Dyer before long.
Mr. H. Desnoues, our photograph
er, expects to move to another point
soon.
Drs A. W. Stephens and c. T.
Love have been very busy, profess
sionally, this winter, but sickness is
subsiding now. Dyer is a very
healthy place, ordinarily, being situa-
ted on high grounds, has no local
causes for diseases. For health, NOR
ais, educational advantages, and trade,
it cannot be surpassed by any place
i'll West Tennessee.
Our merchants are selling calico at
five cen per yard. Come, ladies,
this is the place to trade.
Farmers are fencing, clearing and
repairing their farms extensively, for
another crop.
1t is reported sll over town that
Mr. En- Hutchison is going to marry
soon.

But few changes and little in the
way of news at Gibson since our last
communication. Another weeks fail
ures and short comings have been re-
corded. Another week nearer the
end of life's journey. Have We spent
the time pro6tably? Let us pause
aud see. Have we lived as We would
wish to have lived when we come to
meet the grim monster, death?
As to business, dulness will alone
express it.
Our excellent county superinten-
dent was with us Thursday and Fri
day, visiting our school, and gave
pupils, teacher and patrons an excel
lent talk; pointing out the path of
duty for all, which we would do well

with almost uninterrupted health.

Huntin gdOn.
From the Huntingdon vindicator.

From the Huntingdon Vindicator.
Prof. Cosby's school opened last
Monday week; we learn he now has
about twenty-five scholars. That is
a very small school indeed for town
the size of Huntingdon.
Vinson Parsons, Esq, an old and
highly respectable citizen of this
couny, died very suddenly at his
home some eight or ten miles south
east of town, last Monday morning.
The church house known as Pal
mers' Shelter, situated some three or
four miles from town, was burned to
the ground on last Saturday night.
Everything in the building was con-
sumed by the flames.
The subject of members dancing
again came up before the session of
the Presbyterian church few weeks
ago, and created sum discussion. 1t
was finally decided to write to Hon.
John Frizzell, of Nashville, and get
his opinion on the subject. 1t strikes
US that there is but one way for the
church to stop the growing evil which
is slowly but surely creeping upon
and enveloping this town, and that is
to say to its mem oers, q" thou shalt
not dance"
We understand that recently motor
ious and fragrant violations of the
Corporate laws of our town have TAX
Ell place, and that the town marshal
has discharged his duty in every IN
stance, but that the Mayor has, for
reasons best known to himself, let the
violaters of the law go Scott free.
The marshal on yesterday was quite
indignant at the Mayors manner OF
disposing Of such cases. Thus tha
morals of our toTn bld fair to get in
a lovely condition, and law breakers
will run rough shOd over the peace
ful and law abiding.
From the Huntingdon Republican.
Mr. John D. McEwen and family
have returned to this place from Glib
son county.
Died, on January 31st, of pneu>
monia, Mrs Martha Lee, wife Of Esq.
w. L. Lee of the 18th district, aged
