i New Fxrbv. On last Monday, the
County Court granted Mr. Wm. Ed
niondson the right to put in a ferry
boat on the Cumberland river, between
Searcy's and the Seven mile ferry, and
also to open a road to the fame. The
road runs near the residence of Mr.
W. M. Stewart and through the Mc
Reynold's bottom, crossing the river
about three-fourths of a mile below
the Seven Mile Island. From the
river on the south side, there is a grad
ual ascent leading to the top of the
ridge, from which point a ridge routs
may be taken in almost any direction,
avoiding all heavy hills. This road,
when opened, will prove a great con
venience to the South-siders, particu
larly in delivering their tobacco during
the winter reason, as the river can be
crossed at this point when so high as
to make it impossible to cross it any
where else in this vicinity.
The Dramatic Entertainments by
the Hook and Ladder Co. will come

heretofore were a source of great en
joyment to the large crowds who wit
nessed them, as they expect to keep
them up, they are using all possible
effort to render each entertainment
more and more interesting. Turn out
and greet them with a crowded house.

To the Enterprising. A gentle
man of Nashville, who owns a number
of lots in this city, requests us to Bay
that he will donate the ground to-any
one who will erect thereon suitable
buildings for the manufacture of agri
cultural implements or a furniture fac
tory, or both combined. He would be
glad to confer with parties desiring to
engage in manufacturing upon this
subject With this liberal proposition,
in connection with the fact that our
country abounds with suitable timber
in large quanties, and advantages
in respect to location, etc., we see no
reason why this proposition should npt
be entertained at once.
Revival. About two weeks ago
a protracted meeting was commenced in
Springfield, Tenn., by Rev. Mr. Penick,

church, assisted by Rev. B. M. Tay
lor, of this city. These- brethren ex
tended an invitation to Rev. G. W.
Fetherston of the Baptist church, and
Rev. G. P. Jackson, of the M. E.
church, which was accepted, and a
glorious union meeting was the conse
quence. So great was the interest
manifested, that on last Thursday the
court adjourned and business men
closed their doors to attend the meet
ing. The result was that fifty-two
persons professed religion, half of the
number being heads of families of the
most influential citizens of the place.

CLARKSVILLE TOBACCO MARKET.
The market shows an advance of from
4 to lie per pound, on good and fine leal.
Lugs and low leaf, though not quotably
higher, are taken much more readily than
heretofore. We expect yet fuller prices
for good tobacco, such as Is known as
Kentucky Tobacco," owing to the large
amount of this character required to fill
the French and Italian contracts. Ship
ments now coming to this market, show
a commendable improvement In the order
and handling, which is fully appreciated
by our board of buyers as manifested by
the advanced price paid.

Ayer's,
Sarsaparilla
Is widely known
as one of the most
effectual reme
dies ever discor
ered for cleans
ing the system
an. I ftnrifvino ttiA
y ttooa ine ten ot
years, with a con
' ' stand? rrowin
reputation, based on its intrinsic virtues,
and sustained by its remarkable cores.
So mild as to be safe and beneficial to
children, and jet so searching as to
effectually purj-e out the great corrup
tions of the blood, such ai the scrof
ulous and syphilitic contamination.
Impurities or diseases that hare lurked
in the system for years soon yield to
this powerful antidote, and disappear.
Hence its wonderful cures, many of
which are publicly known, of Scrofula,
and all scrofulous diseases, Ulcers
Eruptions, and eruptive disorders of
the skin, Tumors. Blotches, Bolls
Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St.
Anthony's Fire, ICose or Ery
sipelas, Tetter. Salt Khenra,
Scald Head, Ring-worm, and in
ternal Ulcerations of the Uterus,
Stomach, and Liver. It also cares
other complaints, to which H would not
seem especially adapted, such as Drop
sy, Dyspepsia, Fits, Neuralgia,
Heart Disease, Female Weak
ness, Debility, and Leucorrhcea,
when they are manifestations of the
sCTofuIoas poisons.
It is aa excellent restorer of health
and strength ia the Spring. By renew
ing the appetite and vigor of the diges
tive organs, it dissipates the depression
and listless languor of the season.
Even where no disorder appears, people
feel better, and live longer, for cleansing
the blood. The system moves on with
renewed rigor and a new lease of lifr .
