LOCAL NOTES.

We want an intelligent boy between L
and IA years of age, to learn the printers
trade. A boy from the country preferred.
Messrs. Nooner & Emerson have put the
road leading to Dunlap spring in good con-
dition for driving. The spring is one Of
the most pleasant resorts in West Tennessee.
Hon. Geo. B. Peters, of Memphis, is
spoken of as a probable candidate for Chan
celIor in Shelby next year. George is a
good lawyer and would make first-class
Chancellor He is an old Hardeman boy
and his many friends here would be glad to
see him honored by an election to that posi-
ton.
Mr.. J. J. Chambers, an old citizen of this
county, died at his home in Salisbury on
Thursday evening last in about the 73d
year of his age. He was stricken with par
alysis Thursday morning and died that
evening about o'clock. He was at one
time prominent merchant of Salisbury,
and was universally esteemed by all who
knew him.
The brick on the burnt district are being
cleared preparatory, we hope, to rebuilding
that desolate looking spot in the heart of
the town. If the money paid by the in
surance companies is Issued in rebuilding;
nice building will soon adorn that portion
of the square and nobody will be hurt but
the insurance companies, and those who
were so unfortunate as to have no insur-
ance
This community sympathizes deeply with
Esqr. r. N. Mitchell in the bereavement
occasioned by the loss of his infant child.
It was in It's usual health up to Monday
morning, when it was taken with conges-
tion of the bowels and suffered with spasms
all during the day. until about o'clock in
the evening, when death came to the relief
of the little sufferer.
We notice from our window quite a num-
Der Of our boys cleaning brick in the burnt
district. This is a good indication, and we
like to see it. There is always hope for
boy who is not ashamed of work. Idleness
is the curse which is threatening to blight
the future of our boys and young men.
Remember, boys, that all labor which is
honest, is honorable. and never become
ashamed of honest labor. All men, whose
opinions are worth anything, viii think
more of youl if you are at work, than
to see you loafng around town playing the
dude.
Jno. M. Bass has been appointed to the
position of tranfer mail agent at Grand
Junction, vice J. H. Prewitt, suspended.

that position. There is not better man.
or a better Democrat in the county than
Albert Gather Both gentlemen had fiat
tering recommendations for the place, and
we are sorry that both could not get it
Come again, Albert, and the Democracy of
this comfy will endorse you for some other
good position, and no one viii do so more
heartily than Jno. NJ. Bass.
