W. q. McClpsky,s OYSTERS.

Despite the inauspicious opening Of the
year, the representations Of grumbler.
and depressing times, this has been BY all
Odds the most rushing season in the his
tory of the Oyster King Trade has
widened and heightened and the goods
now 20 over the greater part Of three
States. Mr.. McClusky handles exclusive
" the ELLIS Star Brand" of oysters and the
New York Counts. Tomorrow these
brands will be found everywhere within
reach ofthis city. All grocers and dealers
have them and none other. The genuine
merit of these oysters has compelled their
use BY all who love the juicy bivalye. Bus-
mess depression, the stoppage of mills aud
factories, assignments aud dizziness in
other branches OF business do not affect
them. People must and will have them.
They want them on Christmas, New Years
birthdays, Sundays. They want them al
ways McClusky has, and will continue
to furnish them. He has them in all styles,
from the unpretentious stewing oysters to the
large, elegant selects.

$4,000 DAMAGES
Demanded In a Libel Suit Against
the lntelIigsncer
By W. H. H. Showaere, Sheriff-Eiect of
Marshall County The Al
legged Libel "A Family
Political Fight,

A suit was entered in the Circuit Court
yesterday against John Frew, A. W. Camp
bell and c. B. Hart. publishers and proprie-
tor of the Intelligencer, in which W. q. ID.
Showacre, of Marshal county, will ask s25,-
900 damages for defamation Of character
and libel The suit grows out ofthe family
political fight in Marshall county in Oeto-
Der, where an independent ticket was put
in the field against the regular nominees,
or kangaroo ticket" as it was called.
Captain Showacre was the independent can
didate for sheriff and was elected. On the
18th OF October a communication signed
Rep" appeared in the Intelligencer and it is
on the statements in the following extracts
that Showacre rests his case:
"Showacre announced publicly in his
spluttering charges at Gorby's school house,
Thursday night, that the Herald Office
would be sold before the election; that the
notice for forced sale was then in the
hands of printer, and, strange 10 say,
while Showacre was making this mean and
false charge over the county, some cowardlY
sneak, no QOuDt IN the Interest Ol CuOWhCIc
& Co., entered the Herald Office, pied the
type and mutilated the press and carried
away some OF the pieces.
FOR meanness and baseness this yaudal
outrage surpasses in cowardly campaign
conduct anything ever perpetra:ed in this
or any other county in the State. While
the editor and proprietor OF the Herald,
Captain Hart, was resting from hard
DAYS work, these men (Showacre, Edwards
Il CO.. 'were denouncing him at remote
places in the county as mean hire
ling of the kangaroo ticket," and
many other odious and mean epithets
were used, of which any gentleman would
feel ashamed. Captain Harris only crime
consists in the fact that he is loyal Re.
publican and his paper, the Herald, has
been showing these men up in their proper
light 1t has been the boast of these men
that the Herald would not live until the
day of election. Let this stand coupled
with last nights demolition of the press and
then make answer. Will any Republican
stand up for these men nowG
Showacre demanded the name OF the
above, which was refused. He, has re-
tanned Col W. w. Arnett, and will ask a
yindicatiOn at the hands Of the law.
