OVER THE CITY.
Huntsviile In the Dreary Days Of No.
vember.

The city is by no means dead or dull
looking at this dreary season. Although
there is nothing OF the feverish boom
prevailing, there is not single unem-
ployed mechanic in the city. Building
still goes on and the contractors have
their hands full of work ahead.
The short cotton crop will not make
any material difference with the bright
prospects entertained by our merchants
Tor good trade this season. One of the
leading firms remarked to MERCURY
reporter yesterday that the credit houses
may fall behind in their collections, but
cash stores will prosper as OF yore.
The cotton market is beginning to de-
velop some activity. The receipts yes>
terday were in the neighbcrhood oi $50
bales and 80 40 was the ruling price for
the superior grades. Considerable of
the staple comes acre from Morgan,
Marshall and Limestone counties and
nearly all Of the crop of Lincoln county,
Tenn, is sold in this city.
The present weather is trying on the
nerves of the street force. We, think,
however, that now when the sidewalk
question is in allegiance the drives and
crossings should be in better condition.
The crossings especially should be look
ed after as some Of them are simply i'm
passable in wet and muddy weather
The street hands, we must admit, are
doing the best they can, but with the
heavy load of sidewalks off their hands
they should turn their attention to our
shocking crossings. Mercury.

DEEP WATER FIGURES.

The demand for a deep water har-
Dor ON the gulf coast of Texas is en-
forced by every consideration of econ
omy and by every principle of justice.
By every consideration of economy,
as already stated in a previous article,
in the immense saving of short haul
to the gulf instead of the long haul to
the Atlantic seaboard. This saving
is well understood by those who have
given any serious consideration to
this subject, but little demonstra-
ton may not be amiss, and for that
purpose the accompanying table of
distances is given:

THE organization of the Chicka-
manga association marks a very
friendly feeling among the survivors
of both armies that participated in
that most bloody and memorable en-
gagement. There were present at the
organization $500 federal and 1000
confederate soldiers and they were
not on separate benches but sand
wiched in like parts of the same whole.
The meeting was called to organize an
association of the survivors for the
purpose of purchasing the old battle
ground and converting it into a ma
tional park dedicated to the memory
of those who fell in that battle. when
out of total of about 10000 fully
IS, 900 were killed, captured or miss
ing. The "Star Spangled Banner" by
the band was greeted with deafening
cheers by the confederates and feder-
ais alike and there was no spirit but
one of the purest fraternity prevalent.

THE Hamilton trial ends with the
conviction of the notorious woman for
atrocious assault, and the only reason
why it was not murder was because
her murderous knife did not fully
back up her murderous intention.
The whole case shows her q woman
of most unprincipled character and
one whose presence in any respectable
household would be burning dis
grace to its inmates. How far Ham
iIton was partaker in his wife's
nastiness it is hard to say, as the evil
dence in the case is most contradic-
tory. In any case his own reputation
gains nothing from his connection
with so unsavOry a mess. He who
consorts the devil must lie on a thorny
mattress.

DALLAS is preparing for that deep
water convention in a way that con-
trasts very iayOrably with the ac-
ton of Galveston in that matter.
Galveston holds caucus and decides
to compel all government appropria-
tiOns to center in Galveston so far
as harbor appropriations for the Gulf
are concerned. Dallas has a mayor
who, according to north Texas
Journal does very difirent:
"Mayor Connor is preparing his
slate of delegates to the Topeka deep
water convention, he having such
power. He has an eye single to re-
presentativ men, thorough-going,
active men, who can both talk and
work on committees, that Dallas may
be able to hold up her end of the
row in behalf of the commercial in
terests of Texas through the medium
OF a deep water harbor"
All inland Texas is interested in
