Messy CREEK, Dec. 10, 1873.
Mr.. EDITOR: Our little town is
quite lively to>day, on account OF our
farmers bringing in their wheat and
hogs for shipment.
No doubt the many friends of Mr..
W. B. Melvin will be glad to learn
that he is improving and will be
able to be removed home
in a few days. Mr.. Melvin
was very badly injured by the fall, but
he bears his sufferings with Christian
fDrtitude, and We think this accident
should be a warning to the road in res
gard TO the situation of their tanks at
this place. They are standing right
where it compels the train to d
on the bridge while they are watering,
and person not acquainted with the
situation is liable to step off, thinking
thew are at the depot. We think the
road should take some steps to guard
against this; either move the tanks or
fix the bridge.
We see that great many
places are being struck by various
kinds of booms, but of all the booms
We ever read or heard of, the boom
that has struck our town is the most
accursered boom that has ever visited
any people or place, and that boom is
the whisky boom. Men who have
families dependent upon them for
their bread are seen Keeling about on
the streets in a state of beastly intox.
ication. They are to be pitied, to some
extent, for an appetite once cultivated
for strong drink is hard to overcome.
Therefore, in view Of these facts, we
do think that our sober people (if we
have any, should become aroused on
this subject and go to work to put a
stop to it. Let the Christian portion
OF our community go to work in ear
nest in this cause. He Who's ears are
ever open to the cries Of His people,
will crown their efforts with success.

THIS standard article is compound

It's effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to its
youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
BY its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and MAX

AS a dressing, nothing has been
found SO effectual or desirable.

and Shelbyville! How he did make
the air resound and reverberate
with threats Of how he would tear
up poor Robson. And then, pers
haps, the Tribune would be kind
enough to tell us about the mighty
deeds Of House. Why not play the
part of Homer to Ulysses, or Virgil
to Hneas, or Boswell to johnson?
Why not go down in history as the
defender and chronicler of the Hers
culean efforts Of a House? We
suggest that he take House as his
theme, because he is the best one
among them, and the task will be
easier. And Mcmillan, he has in

TENNESSEE CONGRES6MEN.

The editor Of the Tribune, yes
terday morning, with great care
extracted from its case where it was
snugly reposing, his editorial
"stufed-club,'' and began with great
energy to belabor the shoulders of
our Washington correspondent.
More noise though was made by
this doughty knight than were bones
broken. Now, our correspondent
is plenty able to take care of him.
self, even when his assailant is such
a master as the Tribune man, but
since he is not in easy fighting dis
lance, We trust that this brilliant
mind will pardon US when we reiter-
ate the remarks which caused the
journalistic anger Of this stupendous
intellect, signs Of which can be
seen, not "from the expression Of
his eye" but of his paragraphs.
We will repeat the assertion Of our
Washington correspondent by say
ing that the Democratic Congress
men from Tennessee are mere null
lities. The ofense against the
mighty power of the Tribune thus
becomes ours, and if the Tribune
wants, editorially, to punch any,
body's head, it can take round at
us. Taking into consideration,
though, the giant mental capacities
of this mysterious gentleman, we
do think he ought to put on the
gloves to do it with. Of course we
won't have the impertiLence to hit
back again. We never do this
We are not aggressive, and in the
future as in the past, will allow the
Tribune to haste US much as il
pleases, but will never think Of re-
taliating.
Notwithstanding we have The
opinion of the great Tribune deaC
against us, we must still continue t.
believe that our Washington mar
was entirely correct. If we are
mistaken and are undertaking the
Ciceros that are representing us IL
Congress, it will be an act of char
ity on the TSTbune's part to set Us
right.
For instance, tell us what Bot
Taylor has accomplished since ht
has been in Congress. We remem
Der only one thing, and that was
jumping up and shrieking that "tht
man who said that was another; fol
him to 60 there himself, or he would
cram something presumably whisky
straight, since he was a Democracy
down his throat" The Tribune
speaks of Bob's canvass. After
struggling hard we are unable tt
see anything in it, since there art
at least two thousand circuses il
the world, and each circus contains
on an average three clowns, an(
each clown makes the same kind O
canvass twice every day, Sunday
(sometimes) excepted.
