SAVANNAH, Tenn, November pa
rather serious shooting affair occurred two
miles north of town early yesterday (Sun-
day. morning. 1t seems that Jack East
and his adopted son Charlie went to the
house of John Foust, and while there a
disagreement arose, and Foust struck Jack
East with paling he jerked. from the
fence, whereupon Charley East threw q
rock at Foust, missing him, the rock going
into the house. Foust then rushed into
the house, got his gun and fred on young
East, striking him from the waist to the
head with ffty-two sQuirrelshot. At last
accounts young East was resting very well,
though only seven of the shot had been
found. Foust was seen short time after
the shooting riding at full speed toward
the south. 1t is believed that he has gone
to Alabama.
The recent rise in the river here was
not very serious, hut very little corn or
cotton being lost. Mr.. Maxwell lost
about $50 bushels of corn and Mr.. East
lost about 175 pounds of cotton. If the
river had risen two or three feet higher
the losses would have been very serious,
indeed.
There is a movement on foot to get g
daily mail route from here to Corinth,
Mics. 1t is claimed we will get our Nash
vile mail the next day after mailed.

Adamsville, eight miles west of this place,

Changes wrought by American Rail
ways in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, November 26.-Consul-
General Sutton, in report dated Mata-
moras, Mexico, November 9TH, states that
ths sugar exports, which for the preceding
five years averaged S27 900. have steadily
decreased to 81, 900 for the half year ended
1884, have ceased to be important. This is
due TO the opening up OF new home mar
kets by the railways. The change wrought
by the American railways are further
shown by the increase of exports from
Paso del Norte. Those for the last half of
1875 amounted to Sl2,707 in value, while
for the last half of 1884 they aggregated
