small printing Office, sent 10 Jackson, Ten
nesse, for an editor and finally, after a long
series OF delays, issued in the interest CT their
party, weekly paper, which they called the
National AdUoodts. Since that time, this child
Of the press has shed out a precarious e1-
istence, chiefly upon the voluntary subscrip-
tions of Jealous partisans; but since the last
election these constant calls for aid began to
grow monotonous, and to-day We are called
upon to write its obituary. Its last number
was issued last Friday. Colonel w. II.
Bruton, its editor, has purchased the paper
from the stockholders, and intends removing
it 10 Water Vslley and consolidating it with
the Standard of that place. Colonel Bruton

man; he published sprightly and interest

In the item concerning the literary society

inc our surprise to see it printed Hogs and
Men"
Speaking of hogs and dogs reminds us of
the fact, recorded in our leading paper, that

seen sucking a SOW. This unusual sight was
