Death of Mr.. James Clark.

Mr.. James Clark died near st.
Bethlehem last Friday, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Theodore Walthal.
We are not able to state his exact
age but suppose that it was about
eighty years. He was well known
in this county where he led very
active life in his younger days. In
his calling as carpenter he built
many houses over this country that
are monuments to his skill and in
dustry. He acquired quite large
property, which was swept away
by the late war, and other misfort-
unes. lie came here from Lexing-
ton, KY, in his early manhood and
Montgomery county was his home
up to the time of his death. His
were inferred in Greenwood
Cemetery Saturday morning.

The revenue bill passed by the
General Assembly for the Mem
phis taxing district, published in
full in the American of Friday,
was mistaken by some people as
applying to the whole State. The
mistake was very readily made as
the caption didn't indicate the pur-
port of the bill. No State revenue
law has been passed at this term.

died at his home in Memphis,
Thursday, of pneumonia. He had
no superior in the State as a crimi-

AS is the use of adulterated Baking
Powder, thousands are daily eating it
in their bread unmindful of its des-
tructive effect upon their health
Pure Baking Powder is an indispen-
sible article in the production of good

in its manufacture has made it almost
impossible to buy it in that state, and
to those who desire to save their health
and money, 1 will send full instruc-
lions for making their own Baking
Powders from pure and simple ingre-
dients in any quantity, fresh and good,
on receipt of their letter containing

making this powder and selling it to
