P. 1AVL3K SMALL CHANGE. Fine ruins fell here this week. The grass looks its green and fresh as in the spring time. An auction sale of Texas horses takes jiluce here to-day. The shade tree in front of our office fell last Saturday. We will miss its grateful shade next summer. We are in receipt of a complimen tary ticket to the Trenton fair, for which Supt. Deuson has our thanks. Dr. W. II. Coley went to Louisville this week to buy drugs, and see the sights. We'll wager he had a good time. At an election held in Kenton last Thursday, the peeple of that town abolished their charter and went back into the woods. The old Hancock and English flag was placed at half-mast on the liberty pole last Tuesday. An appropriate and graceful thing, we think. Workmen began last Thursday to tear down the old frams building in Happy Hollow, it. being in a danger ous condition, nearly ready to fall. The new jail at Trenton has been completed and is about ready to re ceive boarders. It is said to be one of the best jails in the state. We hope so. At the municipal election held in Trenton last Saturday, J. R, Walker was elected Mayor, W. W. Wade was elected Recorder, and W. E. Seat was elected Marshal. We have on our table a peach bloom, plucked from a tree at the residence of Mr. W. J House. He says the tree has about as many blooms as it had in the spring. Balmer & Weber, St. Louis music publishers, have our thanks for cop ies of "Garfield's Funeral March" and the "Martyr President Sleeps," song and chorus. Price 40 cents each. Last Thursday our streets were crowded with cottpn wagons. Prices were good and business booming. Our buyers are paying top figures, and planters will do well to remembei it. Mr. A. T. McClure's vuledictoiy appeared in, lust week's Humboldt Argus. We will miss him as a near and good neighbor, but hope he will better his condition in his new under taking, lie is a good printer, and will do his whole duty wherever Ins lot may be cast Jim Bullington came into town the other day and filled himself with bug juice. At night come of the boys got hold of him and blacked his face so that his best friend would not have recognized him. Next day he was again unruly, when he was given lodging in Lush's Hotel. James P. McMillin, sentenced at the August term of the Humboldt Law Court to twelve years imprisonment, for murder, showed signs of lunacy in the penitentiary last Tuesday and attacked other convicts with a knife. He was afterwards assassinated by another convict, who buried a hatch et in his head two or three times. The Quarterly Review of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, South, for October, has just been issued from the Southern Methodist Publishing House with the following table of contents: Organic Union Disruption and Fra ternity; Biographies of John Wesley; Ironies; Bishop Doggett as a Preach er; The Canterbury Revision; Modern Sacred Music; The Assassination; The Bunsens and the Hares Listen ing to the Beat of my Heart; Litem, ry Notices; Notes and Queries. It is an especially interesting number .j thinking men; PERSONAL. Senator Sam. F. Rankin went to Nashville this week. Mr. R. Y. Moore, of McKenzie, was in town last Tuesday. Prof. Hendricks, of McKenzie, spent a few hours here last Saturday. Chas. E. Nash, M. C, of Helena, Ark., registered at the Southern Pa cific Wednesday. Mr. Hill, representing French's great Nashville music house, called on us last Tuesday. II. E. Huntingdon, of railroad fame, was legistered at the Southern Pacific last Saturday. County Superintendent Deason and S. B. Williamson, Esq., of Trenton, were in tewn last week. John Loving has returned from Fort Smith, Ark., not being satisfied with the outlook. He says that it is the most overrated town he knows of. Chas. E. Rogers, editor of the Jack son Dispatch, honored us with a call yesterday morning. He is a pushing, live newspaper man, and a pleasant gentleman. Jan. E. Porter, editor of the Hum boldt Argus, made a short visit to our town Thursday evening too short for his friends. We hope he will call again and often. Col. U. L. Collins, the great excur sion manager, called on us last Tues day. He is making arrangements for a grand excursion to New Orleans, to ccme off about the 8th of November. The fare from here, round trip, will be about 810.50. Begin to prepare for it. Memorial Services. On last Monday the business houses generally in our town were closed, and our people, white and colored, assem bled in their churches, to pay a last sad tribute of respect to the memory of Gen. Garfield. About two o'clock the different bells began to toll, strik ing thirty-eight taps, one for each state. They afterward struck thir teen times, once for each of the origi nal states. The different sextons seemed to have agreed on the order of their striking, as one followed an other in order, making a strikingly solemn chime. At the Baptist church service was. conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. L. Lloyd, who delivered an appropriate address in a very impress ive maimer. Short speeches were al so made by Dr. Jordan, Prof. Hooker, Mayor Hale, and Messrs. A. W. Lov ing, W. M. McCall, V. L. Ware and J. P. Rhodes. Appropriate and touching music was also sung. Rev. M. M. Taylor, pastor, con ducted similar services at the Metho dist church, making a fervent and in teresting address. George Cade, Esq., read the President's proclamation, Hon. S. F. Rankin and W. J. House, Esq., made appropriate remarks, and two or three touching songs were sung. At the colored Baptist and Metho dist churches similar services were held, the colored population taking much interest in the ceremonies. In fact our people are unanimous in their sympathy for the afflicted family of the dead President. Arm Amputated. Henry Daniel, col., who was shot last week by John Haire, is now doing very well. On Sunday it was found tliiu mortification had set in, and his arm was amputated by Drs. Jordan and Danner. It w ill be remembered that the arteries were cut, and there was consequently no circulation in the lower arm, which necessitated the operation. SEW ADVERTISEMENTS. J. W. Hayes is still with McCord Boomer & Co., one of the largest and best hat houses in the country. House and drummer are both first class and reliable, and you canuot do better than give them an order. See their ad. Johanboeke & Bro., wholesale deal ers in hats, caps, gloves, umbrellas, etc., Louisville, have a card in this paper. This is well known to be one of the best houses in the city. V. S. Gillispie will call on his friends in this section, and they can depend on what he promises them. The Evansville Furniture Compa ny have a new card in this paper, to which we invite attention. They manufacture immense quantities and sell very low. We know they have a large southern trade, but we desire to see it doubled. Give them an or der, and we believe you will not re gret it. Dave Mills and Morgan Green, two of the livest drummers on the road, represent one of the best dry goods and notion houses in the west that of J. M. Robi nson & Co.

It will probably be interes ting and instructive, and we look for a large audience to hear him. A protracted meeting will begin at Salem, one mile north of town, to morrow, by request of the people in that neighborhood. It will be con ducted by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Jones, and Mr. W. J. House.
