Rev. Mr.. Spreads. who has
been stationed at COvington for She
past year, has accepted a call from
the Baptist church In Bolivar.

L. D. Bonfantl, 456 Main St.,
Memphis has stock of domestic
and fancy imported groceries and
table delicacies unsurpassed in this
market for variety and superiority.
His cellars are also filled with genu-
inc and pure articles of fine wines
and liquors. None but first class
goods in stock. Call on him when
in the city.
The long dry spell has affords
ed every opportunity for the farms
ers to gather their crops IN good
condition. The complaint comes up
from all parts OF the county hOwev-
er, that the cotton is cut off almost
one half by the worms and early
| flosts. We have the consolation
that the coin anu hay crops
were good and that we shall have
sufficlency OF hog and hominy to
run US.
Mr.. John A. Stinson, of Grand
Junction, who had the misfortune
to lose his business house and sew
| eralEthOuSaDd dollars worth of fins
ished monuments recently, upon
which there was no insurance, has
put his shoulder TO the wheel and
by this time erected another house,
which he will occupy in a few days.
Such energy is commendable. In
future no doubt he will receive the
liberal patronage heretofore enjoyed.
The live son of an English
Earl was in Bolivar last week on
railroad business. He is the son of
Earl Northcote and son-in>law of
Hamilton Fish of New Je 9y. He
came to see Judge Fentress on mat
tiers connected with the Illinois
Central railroad. We may remark
that he was very ordinary looking
specimen and nothing in his ap-
pearance or dress indicated his blue
blood.
Mr.. Keegan- met with an acct
dent last Tuesday which came near

t the wagon distance of twenty feel
