In regard TO the statement in the RE.
PUBLICAN few days ago that Mrs. Ma.
son Clayton was a member Of the Wo n
ems Nitionsl Christian Temperance
Union, we,.have only to say the reporter
was in error in understanding or infer
ring that Mrs. Clayton was either a
member or ought to be one.
Mrs. Clayton when she saw the re
port promptly came to the cfics and
disclaimed being member Of the
Union referred TO but said she was a
member Of local Union in good stand.

We regret very much that any ad-
vantage should have been taken OF the

two weeks, aud so far as we know her
conduct has been that Of q perfect lady
and some Of her traduoers would prof,
by following her example.

The qualities sought for in lid gloves are

The IIatchio River Obstruction.

The Brownsville States Of January
!, says: We regret to learn that the
Memphis d Nashville railroad has
failed to comply with the law in regard
to the bridge over Hatchie river. 1t
was understood that the company was
to build draw by the first Of Novem-
her, 1879, and leave the river unob-
structed. This would have been a
simple act of justice to the people who
desire to use the river and would have
met a plain requirement of law. A
steamer is new coming up from Mem
phis, capable of carrying fifteen hun
bred bales of cotton. But the bridge
will obstruct its progress. What the
result will be, we do not pretend to say.
We trust, however, that the threat to
tear down the bridge by force will not
be carried out. 1t may be that the
road will yet comply with the law. In
any event there can be no excuse for
resorting to violence This is a ques-
ton which vitality affects the important
freight interest of mum Der of coun-
ties, and the desired ends should, by
all m cans, be reached by legal BIS
