We call attention to the card
OF Conger's Saw and Planning Mills,

this issue of our paper. s. r. Con-
ger, the proprietor, BY ..fair dealing
with his fellow man and attention
to business, has built up an immense

-Hatchie river has been higher
this week than at any time for the
last nine years, and only lacked
about twenty-four inches of being
up to the great rise of '82. The
Pine Top and Bethel mail matter
was delayed here several days on
account of the carriers inability to
cross the river. When the water
recedes, we fear that numerous
bridges and levees will be found to
have been injured.
Another collision occurred on
the Illinois Central road last Fri
day night near Hickory Valley,
caused by the engine of one freight

another. The cabooSe was demol>

Several prominent railroad Of
fcials of Memphis, says the Com
mercial, have been in Nashville
working against the appropriation
to survey the route of the Mississip
pi and TENNESSEE River Canal.
Their grounds for opposition are
purely patriotic and in the interest
of the dear people, and because
they are satisfied that the canal is
utterly impracticable. Their pa
! triotism cannot be doubted, but it
seems strange that they should take
so much trouble to defeat a meas
ure which is utterly impractical
bIe." 1t is likely the approprIa-
ton of SO, 900 will be made by the
