KARRIBD, . ~
la this dace, on Thursday evening last,the 16th.
iiwt. by Rev. Mr.« Tarborough,' Mr . H. B. LEE"
and Miss MARTHA E. FLEMING.
In announcing the nuptials of our young friends,
we tender them our sincere congratulations, and
hope their fonest dreams of future happiness may
be fully realized.
"Though fools spurn Hymen's gentle powers.
We, who improve his golden hours,
By sweet experience know
That marriage rightly understood,
Gives to the tender and the good
A paradise below."
On Friday, a bridal dinner was served up at the
mansion of E. W. Cawthon. We noticed, as some-
thing strange at this season of the year, among the
edibles so bounteously furnished for the occasion,
every variety of vegetable grown in this latitude,
and they too in the greatest abundance. Friend
C., we think, should deliver a series of lectures
upon horticultural subjects for the benefit of his
neighbors and the country.
Sale of Dr. M'ltKne'j Vermifuge.
Among the hundreds of letters, certificates and
orders received by the proprietor* of this medicine,
the following are selected to show its character
and the effect of its use in a distant part of the
West.
R italtox, Boone Co., Ia., May 10,1S50.
Messrs. I. Kiod & Co.—Gentlemen—I write
to you to solicitan agency for the invaluable Ver-
mifuge you prepare. Soaoetims since, I purchased
one dozen vials of Mr. C. Ely, and prescribed it in
my practice; and it proved so effectual in the ex-
pulsion of worms, that no othe,r preparation will
áájtisfy the citizens of this village and vicinity.—
Please send me one gross of the Vermifuge imme-
diately. Yours, &c., Samuel Ross.
New Pkotidesce, Tenn., July !, 1S51.
Messrs. J. Kidd & Co.—Please send the Ver-
m fuge for us ¡is soon as possible, as we are nearly
out, and the demand for it is very great. We be-
lieve it to be the best Vernrfuge ever inven'cd.
Porter & Dycus.
"5s®, Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
M'La tie's Celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburg, Pa. All other ver-
mifuges are. in comparison, worthless. T)r. M'-

Liver Pills, can now be liad at all respectable

GROCERIES.
The Family Grocery department has been we!l
attended to. They now have an extensive assort-

replenishe d by new additions of fresh und pure
articles. Families supplied with almost anything
in the eating or drinking line.

CAWTHON, WILLIS & BRO ,
WOULD respectfully announce to their friends
and patrons, and to the public generally,
that they are now receiving and opening, direct
'from New York and Boston, their large and well-
solected stocks of Fall and Winter Goods, corn-
prising almost every article necessary for the
comfort and convenience of the people generally.
Staple and fancy dry goods, new and rare,
China, glass and crockery ware.
Hats, caps, boots and shoes of every kind
Coats, pants and vests here you may find:
Wood, willow, and hollow ware
Things broad or long, round or square;
Drugs, medicines and dyestufF,
Hardware and cuttlery. fine or rounh,
Things nice and sweet for ladies' use.
Things rough and strong for man's abuse,
Things to ware and things to eat,
Things that !s ugly, things that's neat,
Things that's bard and things that's soft,
Things that you have needed oft.
Things that \s grave and things that's gay ,
Things you'd better buy to-dav.
Things for use and things for show,
All here for c*sh, and very low.
Some time to punctual men we give—
Our motto's live and let live.
Too much credit's a mighty curse;
None at all could not be worse:
Many have been beggared by it. |
Be careful, we :d say, how you try it.
No trouble to show onr goods. Respectfully
ask those visiting our village to call and see for
themselves.
Merchants desiring small stocks, or wishing to
fill up their stocks, would do well to call and «ee
our stock and prices before going farther. Re-
collect time is money—though these times it does
not pay debts so well.

SCREW WORM ASP BLOW FLY.
LOUDEN & CO.'S Cherokee Liniment, the
original discovory, and the only reliable ar-
ticle for the immediate destruction of the Screw
Worm and blow Fly.
This Liniment has now been before the citi-
zens of Texas for over three years, and has been
thoroughly tested as a positive and speedy exter-
minator ot those destructive vermin.
Louden & Co. justly claim the discovery of this
great remedy, and until the present year, no
other Liniment was ottered or known for the re-
lief of the Grazies of Texas ; but now the un-
precedented popularity of our Cherokee Lini-
ment, has induced—for the pecuniary reward—the
proprietors of the various -imitations afloat, to
palm off their worthless articles upon the unsus-
pecting, without regard to justice or any known
merit in the nostrum offered.

JL exclusive 19J.1t for the viannfecture and saU
of these Gins in the State of Texas, 'i he Gins
have now been in successful operation for two
seasons in this Stnte. and the Company Iwing
fully satisfied of their immense value to t!w>
Planter. from the very superior manner in which
they clcan both Short and Long Stapled Cotton,
have established two permanent Agencies, one in
Eastern and one in Western Texas, where the
Gins, er any part of them, can be obtained at a
moment's notice, and experienced men will be
on band to set them running, and give their atter-
tion until the Planters are fully acquainted with
their operation.
It is not strange that mony evil reports should
be circulated respecting this Gin, when it is ap
parent that it is destined to take the place of all
others. -There who have given the Gin a fai
trial, are well satisf^d that it will make the Lint
worth from one to two cetits pir pnv.nd more than
from the Saw Gin. and this verdict has been fully
sustained by the Manufacturer.
The Lyman Mills, at Ho!y-A-e. Mass., one of
the largest Companies in New Eng'i«Ml. wiio are
now u-ing Sea Island Cotton from this Gin, have
decided that it prepares the staple for the mills
fer better than the Roller Gin.
This Gin does not cut, break or nap the staple
It «ieans trash}' cotton in % ver}"superior man
ner.
It will not cut or injure tks hands that attend it.
Sticks, stones, nails, or any hr.rd substance
brown into it with the cotton, will not injure tb
Gin.
All the Company ask is a thorough and impar-
tial trial of the Gin. wb'ch they kivw will do as
much cotton per day as the Saw Gin, and make
it far more valuable.
The following Certificates,selected from a large
number of the same import, wi.i serve to show
the estimation in which this Gin is held l>y those
who have used it.

Mr. Phillips—DearSia-: The Gin is doing a*
well as could be expected. The overseer ha¿
packed thirty-one bales, weighing 500 lbs. each
which wes ginned in nine days. 1 am satisfied it
is the best Gin I ever bad. as it does not cut the
bolls or any other trash that may beinthecott«>a.
¡ The leaves pass through whoie, and the bolls
' come out with the seed, which is a great advan-
tage over the Saw Gin—the Saw Gin cuts the
most of them to pieces. I am vour*. most truly

Mr. Phillips—Sir: I am running one of your
goods and f;ve foot Steel-Tooth Cylinder Gins, which I can
:cwhere. recommend to the cotton planter as ber.g the best
and most durable I ever ran. and I think tkey
will soon take the place of all Saw Gins. I can
gin between three and four bags per day. averag-
ing 500 pounds each, and make an admirable sam-
ple. Every improvement in co'ton gins is of great
consequence to our country, and this Cylinder Gin
is valuable and important- Yours. &c..

This is to certify that I am using one of Pat'fc-
hurst's Patent Steel-'l'ooth Cylinder Gins, put in
opsration by Mr. Phillips, this fall. I em pleased
wjth the performance of the Gin. believing it to
possess many advantages over the Saw Gin. I
believe it makes a much be ter sample of cotton
running with the same speed of the Saw.Gin-
tbe planter can save more cotton to the hand when
he has a Cylinder Gin ; the bolls and limbs being
no obstruction to the sinning, neither are they cut
up and thrown in with the lir.t. but drop uirovtgh
with the seed. I can gin between three and, four
bales per day; in other words, I have ginned six
teen hundred and fifty-eight pounds in twelve
hours. Respectf'.'liy vours.
