contemplating moving to Tennessee,
to read.
Nashville World: A fish man,
woman, three negro men and two
marketers ate supper last night az
restaurant kept by a negro woman
and were soon after seized with
vomiting and deathly sickness.
Drs. Ewing and McMurray were
called in and pronounced it copper
poisoning. The parties will all get
over it.
Jackson Wing: Telephones are
rapidly gaining favor in Jackson,
and the benefit is seen every day.
Recently gentleman of this city
accidently got corrosive sublimate,
deadly poison in his eye, and was
informed by telephone from an ex-
perienced doctor what to do, thus,
perhaps, saved both his eyes and
much pain.
Memphis Ledger: Strange as it
may seem, the price of common
stock cattle i'm Texas is so high that
there is big money in buying cattle
in West Tennessee and Mississippi
for shipment to Texas. Spectators
have been in this field some months
and bought up so many cattle for
this purpose that the supply for
beef and for dairy purposes is be-
coming alarmingly short in this
section.
Jackson Wing: Rev. Mr.. Hay
ley, young man studying for the
ministry at the Henderson Institute,
Chester county, created slight
commOtiOn among the religious
portion of the people of that town
last Sabbath by publicly renouncing
his belief in the bible and the
christian religion, and declaring
himself an infidel. He was men,
Der of the Baptist church, from
which he was immediately expelled.
The Memphis Musical Festival
proved great success, financially
and otherwise. 1t was undoubtedly
the most superior musical enter
tainment ever given in any South
ern city. The large Exposition
building was filed to overflow with
fair women and brave men who
gathered to hear the delightful
music of the Theodore Thomas Or
chestra and the Mozart Society.
Fayetteville Observer The mar.
row-gauge train last Saturday even
ing, while near Belfast, Marshall
county, coming toward Fayetteville,
frightened a horse driven by Mr..
RObt. Caughran, which ran away
and threw Mr.. Caughran from the
buggy, killing him instantly by
fracturing his skull. By a singular
coincidence, Mr.. Oliver Caughran,
a worthy citizen, father of the I'M
fortunate young man, died in the
public road in the same neighbor-
hood year or so ago.
TulIahoma Guardian: Hon. Asa
Faulkner, of McMinnviIle, the pio-
neer cotton manufacturer of the
State, is now in Massachusetts seek
ing to interest capitalists there to
take stock in the proposed cotton
factory to be established at the falls
of the Caney Fork near Rock Is
land. He has one of the grandest
natural sites for such factory any
where within the State or in the
South, with a 30O-horse water power
that is ready for work without dam
or race.
Milan Exchanges: The Illinois
Central people are running fruit
car from Gadsden to Cairo, via Mi
Ian, where it is attached to the fast
fruit train. 1t leaves here about
seven, p. M, is attached to the early
morning passenger train at Cairo
and taken to Chicago. The rate
from here TO Chicago is rs cents per
hundred-one dollar cheaper than
by express. Our fruit and vegetable
growers are well pleased with the
and are Dragging on
the /. G.. road.
A negro boy named Cornelius
Ewing, aged thirteen, made two
Intellectual attempts to burn the
grocery store of Mr.. John Herman
in Nashville, Monday night. Ew-
ing was the Office boy of DIR. Grant.
While the doctor was asleep he
took a drive around town in his
buggy. Herman saw him and re-
ported him to the doctor who gave
him whipping in consequence.
When arrested he gave this as a
cause for setting fire to Herman's
grocery, saying this was not the
first time Herman had caused him
to be whipped and he wanted to
break him of sucking eggs"
Somebody tried to "choke OFF,
The seribbler who contributes origi-
nal verses to the Columbia Herald
by sending him a cartoon ridiculing
Spring Poets last week. The sender
was evidently no editor and didn't
know the nature of the animal he
1ealt with. You can't silence one
Of those "geniuses" with a hint any
more than you can knock down an
elephant with straw. The Wither-
ng sarcasm of able editors has been
at the tribe for ages, and
he only effect has been more poets
md worse verses. 1t Is probable
hat long-suffering but exhausted
PATIENCE will some day lead the
newspaper men to resort to dyna-
mite and secret assassination to get
id of these troublers. 1t is the only .
ase we know of in which such
esort could be justitiabla, {
