hed, but Mr.. Nixon, with several Of the

Covington Gall an Arkansas, say some
parties just from the other side OF the river,
the saloon-keePsr is required to give heavy
bond, and IN case any damage results from
his liquor-seliing he foois the bill for the
same; but when the fellow who imbibes too
freely begins to show signs OF bsing disorder
iy, etc, a man with bottle, employed for
the purpose, approaches him and offers 3
social pull, which is generally accepted. So
the saloon man clears himself by attributing
any damaging effects 10 the man with the
bottle"
Chattanooga Time: "Work Is progressing
rapidly on the extension TO the tSnnefy.
Nearly 400 feet in length is being erected a

watts large stack will be erected and

down with a stick and shot through the
thigh with a pistol, and one country negro
cut two or three times with a knife. There
Is not vacant house in Dyersburg. In fact,
we have heard and know OF families who
would come here to educate their children
and take advantage OF the coming railroad,
that are kept from doing so because there
are no houses to be had =. Mr.. W. o. Sngg
who shot aud killed C. s. Tanner at Hales

Nashville Bonner: "About year ago the
Banner contained a detailed account of the
arrest, in the eastern part of Tennessee, of
William I. Martin. Martin, through the in
strumentslity of the jsiler's niece, escaped
from the Lebanon, Mo, Jail. where he was
under sentence of death for murder. The
couple came to Tennessee, where they were
married, but Martin was discovered and
taken back TO Missouri, but escaped on the
way. A few weeks ago he was captured the
third time at his fathers house; the court
remanded his case, the jury found him not
guilty, and he is now at home with his wife
and baby, near Lebanon, Mo. -. A crank
made his appearance, few days since, at
the Commercial Hotel. He claims to be one
of the James gang. 1t is possible that his
claims in this respect may be well founded,
but it is generally believed that he is an
escaped lunatic- -. Flux is quite prevalent
among the colored people, and some fatality,
in consequence, is expected. "A strange
disease has made its appearance in the south
eastern part of the city. 1t affects the mouth
and throat, producing great soreness, and re-
sembles scarlation very much. While few
white persons are troubled with it, it is very
general among the colored people"
