Know all men by these presents,
That |, w. J. Colgan, was present
at B. H. Norton's Hotel, in the
town of Grand Junction, Hardeman
County, Tennessee, on the night of
the 28th of December, 1895, when
an unknown man came to said hotel
under the influence of liquor, and
from the fact that he was so very
drunk, it was deemed advisable to
search him, which was done by B.
H. Norton, Robt. Seward and my
self. We found the following eff
fects on his person: One knife, one
piece of tobacco, a Nashville bank
book, one quart of whiskey, and 95
cents in money, which we gave
back to him on the morning of De
cember goth, 1895. The above de-
scribed articles and money is all
that he had upon his person.

Emiaration to the South.

1t is no longer westward but
southwark that the star of empire
takes It's way. As set forth in the
Times Herald yesterday, the march
of emigration is making wide
sweep toward the milder climates of
the South, and men and women are
fleeing from regions of eight and
nine months winter to a more equa-
bic zone. They are beginning to
discover that it is an immense
waste of energy and money to spend
more than one-half of their earn
ings and two-thirds of their time in
the mere effort to keep warm and
comfortable when they may have
that condition for nothing.

That this impulse was bound to
come as soon as the Southern States
recovered from the effects of war,
and became accustomed to new
channels of business and labor has
long been foreseen. The progress
sive Southerners have themselves
been alert to bring about this bet
ter day, and their spirit has been
manifested not only in the success
of the Atlanta Exposition, but in
the vast industries that have pros
pered at Birmingham, at Chatta-
nooga, at Knoxville and other no
table points in the South.
The people understand that also
the negro problem, if not settled, is
in progress of settlement, and that
it is at least no longer a source of
irritation. Hence that barrier is
thrown down, and there is no deter
rent cause to bar the overflow of hu-
mainly from the buster and more
active hives of the world.
And this is all the South needs
a teeming population-to develop
its vast natural resources, to dot it
with towns and cities. to make it
laugh with fruitful harvests and
material prosperity such as few
countries have enjoyed.
And with this prosperity comes
the better feeling, North and South,
that grows out of homogenity of
purpose and pursuit-Manufactur-
er's Record.

O'DOWd'S NeighbOrS.

The mirth-provoking musical oper-
attic comedy, O'Dowd's Neighbors,
which will be presented by Murray &
Murphy's Comedians, at the Grand on
Sept. q, has the quality of the Mikado,
Adonis and Evangeline of rewarding
repeated visits with new discoveries of
fun and fineness. 1t is always greeted
by delighted audiences of old friends
and new acquaintance. Those who
have seen the sparkling comedy are
permeated with it as by champagne
The sensation loses nothing in bril-
liancy because familiar. Those who
have seen it yield othe humorous side
of their nature as to the blow from the
club. They go down at once. The
laughter may be easily Disseminated
From old friends the comedy rings the
response of welcome and a greeting
that has the cordiality of true and
hearty friendship. To those who have
not seen it before it comes like revel-
alton of a comedy so convulsing and
contagious that the spell is irresistible.
O'DOwd's Neighbors is text for 25
comedians, dancers and vocalists to APP
pear in excruciatingly funny burlesque,
songs and dances, choruses and side
splitting mishaps which have as incon-
grous an ending as they have deliri-
Gus and motiveless progress and begin
ming. The comedy is one continuous
roar of laughter from the rise of the
curtain on the first act to its fall on the
last. Among the many features are
the famous Dixie Pickaninny Band,
which has been selected from the best
cOlored musicians obtainable, who APP
pear in daily parade and are conceded
to be the best travelling band ever Or
ganized. Besides making a unique
street parade the little "black-a-moors''
entertain with artistic plantation songs,
buck and wing dancing and everything
else known to that race of people dur
ing the performance.
