Tennessee officers captured an al
legged Tennessee horse thief in Hickman,

They claimed to have requisition from the
Governor OF Tennessee, but no one object
Ing, they preferred not to await the laws
delay, and took him by force into Tennessee
territory II the fellow was guilty az
charged, it's all right, and best that way.

Messrs Walker & Taylor have sold
the Fulton FEltOnian to the FultOn print
ing company, and Judge Stsrks will here
after be the editor-in-chief. Messrs. Wal
ksr s Taylor made the Fultonian a live
local paper, and and We wish them success
in whatever new lines they may be cast;
and extend the hand of welcome to Judge
starks, we'll knowing that he IS fully able
to make the Fultonian one of the best local
papers in this section.
On Thursday evening, the 9th, the
S. d. C's., gave one OF their most deli CHIT
ful dances, at Prof. Caldwelfs school,
house. Several couples from Union City
we're to have been here, but through some
mistake they did not come, Occasioning
much disappointment; but they will yet
visit US In the sweet directly" Never
thelsss we had a large sized time of our
own; and young lady in describing it to
us said, sit was one unbroken flow of
rhythmic bliss incompsrshiy and ex-
quisitely all but quite excessively be-
yond, 'unquenchsbly inatfable.' We

hope she has recovered: D&ts.
The performance OF Rip Van Win
kle, Wednesday night, by Mr.. Barlow and
wife, assisted by the Hickman Dramatic
company, was tolerably well patronized.
Those who witnessed the performance,
are in high praise Of Mr.. Barlow s
rendition OF Rip. aud also of the efforts Of
the members OF the hone club. The per
fOrmance was given for benefit of Mrs
Psrker, those Affections at the time were
peculiarly ssd At the eiSss Of the per
fsrmsnce, Mr.. Barlow made touching
statement of the circu instances which i'm
PEELED them to proceed with the play.
II is probable the performance may be
repeated st an early day.
RIVER News The river news is
had, aud give every indication OF another
eig overflow ca top of the present. The
news o. yesterday reported the Missis
s'ppi, ONO, Tennessee, aud Cumbe rland
al rising, and pertee- food in all the
Southern rivers between here and New
Orleans. rhe prevailing rains are gen
erai, aud indicate further rises The
past week the Mississippi has fallen con
siderably, but present rises will bring the
river back to its late high water mark
and no telling but W hat it may 80 above
it. If spring weather and the Missouri
and Upper Mississippi open out on top OF
the present rises, it stands a fair chance
to exceed the rise of 1867. It's bad, but
these facts are facts.

WoRK FOR COUNTY IMMIGRATION SocIE
TY Never before, in our recollection
has as many letters OF inquiry been receiv-
ed by our citizens from persons abroad,
seeking information in regard toFulton
county ably the ts.IO Of iu.-,ni gra
ton is disposed to drift this way. The
Courier has frequently suggested the ne
cessity of organizing Comfy Immigra-
ton socletys 6hu bnS AiSducnOJ u 'hoS0
letters of inquiry show the oed work
such a society could accomplish. This
week we have been shown lettle from
Michigan, from party desiring TO sstab-
lish Hoop Works on the Mississippi; and
another from a gentleman, desiring iufor-
nation n regard TO the clay In the bluffs
about Hickman with view to making
fire brick; and another one, ia reg ard to
estah;ishi ng a pottery. Each Of these in
dustries would bring number Of employ
ees. There are letters, frsm tine to time,
inquring exclusively in regard to farm
lands. A county society would co late the
general aud particular information desir-
ed, and lay the points more intelligently
before snquirers. OF course, those who
want to sell land, Sc, are the ones most
