INTERESTING TO LADIES.

Our lady readers can hardly fail
to have their attention called this
week to the latest combination of
improvements in that most useful of
all domestic implements, the "sew-
ing machine"
As we understand it, a machine
Tor family use should meet first of
all these requirements; 1t should be
simple in its mechanism; it should
run easily; it should do wide range
OF work; it should be as nearly noise.
less as possible; it should be light,
handsome, durable, and as cheap as
Is consistent with excellence
throughout.
These conditions the "Light. Run
ning New Home" certainly meets.
1t has also several very important
and useful attachments aud notions
OF ITS own, which go far to make
good Its claims to popular favor.
The New Home" specially re
commends itselfto purchasers on &C.
count of its superior mechanical con,
structlon, ease of management and
reasonable price. Over half million
have been sold in the last three years,
all of which are giving universal sat
lsiaotion. This unrivalled machine
is manufactured by the NEW HOME

He died in Memphis, where he had
gone for medical attention, Sunday
the 18th. inst, and his remains were
taken to Mississippi, his former home,
for interment.
Last Saturday, Mr.. Goodman
came to town with a load of cotton,
and when near Mud bayou bridge,
his team took fright and started on
a run, and in attempting to check
them WAS thrown to the ground and
one of the hind wheels Of the wagon
passed over his body. But for the
fact that he is as tough as a shoe
string, he wouldn't have been able
to come in ana tell us that that there
was about 1900 pounds of cotton on
the wagon. AS it was, he escaped
with few bruises anl rent clothing.

George T. Stowell, successor to

made an assignment last Tuesday
evening, w. y. Hale, assigned, aud
II. B. Clafilin & Co, of New York,
mentioned as preferred creditors.
His liabilities are placed at 81 600,
and his assets at $1,000. While
this failure was surprise to Mr..
Stowell's most intimate friends, who
regarded the old firm of Stowell &
Heinz as on. of the strongest busi-

are not wanting those who are ready

Mr.. Stowcll will be able to make
such satisfactory arrangements with
his creditors as will enable him to

Last Saturday and Saturday
night was red-letter day among

was killed on the Nodcna plantation
Saturday night. On the same night
three shots were fired in town, on
inquiry We learned that a negro
whose name we failed TO secure, shot
at Jack Greggs, but failed to she 1
blood. Two negro women the same
night engaged in II street quarrel,
when one stabbed the o,hor with a
knife, letting out considerable blood
At crap-shooting match out about
a mile from 10 .n, a negro was shot

negro was seen on the side of the

Of town armed with shotgun, wait

He didn't happen to come, however,
else we might have had another
item to chronicle. These people are
