We very often receive obituArys through
the mails for publication, and wish to say
that for such matter Ne are compelled 10
charge half rates. People seem to be under
the impression that they are published
free, and send them without expecting to be
charged for them. We would be glad to
publish them but owing to the number re-
ceived and the space they occupy we are
to make these charges for the
expense of getting them up.
Hr. Sam White, the popular assistant
cashier of the First National Bank at Jack
son, and Miss Gussie Bright, the accom-
plished daughter of Capt James Bright of
the Robinson House, were married at First
Presbyterian Church in Jackaon last Thurs
day morning, Rev. jerry Witherspoon Off
ciating. The presents to the bridal pair
we're many and costly, and the best wishca
Of their many friends are with them for sue
GERS and happiness in their new relations.
We understand that the gentlemen who
compose the Stave Manufacturing Company
in bolivar, received very little encourage
ment from the L. &. railroad as to the mat
ter of rates over that line. If the railroad
cannot transfer the products of this factory
TO market at reasonable rates, Hatch:e river
should be utilized by the company. Flat
boats can he constructed and the slaves
Aoated to Memphis or New Orleans at little
cost. Don't let the railroad choke you of
gentlemen when you have water way
open.
The CovingtOn correspondent to the Mem
phis Appeal thus speaks of the death OF
Cot. Marsh T. Polk: The death of Marsh
T. Polk, ex-State Treasurer will cause
many to think upon the errors of the man
during the last days of his life, but the
kind-hearted will also call to mind his acts
upon that awful Sunday in > pril, 1862, a.
Shiloh, when the roar of artillery shook
the earth and the warm blood ran from
many a Southern heart, and the gray and
the blue slept side by side that rainy night
in the last long sleep of death. Many were
the questions asked that night by members
of Folks Battery of Bolivar, Tenn. We
say peace to his ashes May lie who
knows how to sympalhize with our infrma-
ties exercise mercy.
