Austin Flouring Mills.— Messrs.]
Jackson & Co., the proprietors of these
first class mills, have our thanks for a
sack of flour—twenty-five pounds. It
was an excellent article, which is due
to a great extent to the experience of
William Rudisiil, their miller. They
informed ns that they can and do make
to the bushel of good wheat, thirty-five
pounds of good flour. This is liurd to
heat. Mr. Rudisiil is a first Hass mil
ler in every sense of the word; a man
of energy and perseverance, and we
me satisfied he will never be troubled
about a situation, as all those who have
tried him will vouch for his ability as
a miller.
Texas Tonic Syrup.—Enterprise

which indicate the progress of man
kind. Nations have had their rise and
fall; eighteen hundred years have
stamped their footsteps on tlio past,
but have left no parallel to the many
remarkable enterprises and discoveries
of the present age. One of these, and
a beneficial one, is that now medicine
introduced by Mansfield & lligbee,
Chemists, of Memniiis. Tcnu.. called
Texas Tonic Syrup which is a sure uud
never failing remedy for tHo worst
cases of Fever and Ague or Chills aud
Fever; which it has never failed to
cure. _
Attempted Robbery.
On last Tuesday as Capt. Stephen
Wheeler, of Searcy, and Mr. Peter
Hicks, of West Point, were traveling
in a buggy on the road from AVeat
Point to Xcgro Hill they were attack
ed from the bushes, some four miles
from the former place, by two men on
horseback, and made to get out of the
buggy and ordered to give up their
arms, Capt. Wheeler only having a
pistol. They then took front Captain
Wheeler two watches aud some fifteen
or twenty dollars, all the money he
had in his pocket. After this, one
took Hicks and carried him to the
I bushes in 011c direction while the other
carried AV’heelcr to the opposite. As
soon as AVlicolcr reached the bushes lie
dashed away from his man, receiving
a pistoVshot wound in his arm. As
soon as Wheeler made the attempt at
escape the other robber left Ilicks to
himself aud the two pursued after
Wheeler, but did not succeed in ovor
. taking him, as he made good his escape
and readied this place the next day.
Hicks made his way back home.
This is about all we have been able
to find out about the matter. AVe have
heard various rumors about who the
g parties were that committed the out
rage, but there is too much difference
in the stories to place any confidence
in any of them. It is supposed the
men thought Capt. AVhtjelor had a
large amount of revenue funds about
ibis person, and was on his way to pay
jt over. If he hud wo are glad to
know they did not get it. We do not
Jike to hear of such outrages as these,
uud think if the proper moans arc used
the guilty ones can be overtaken and
brought to justice, as it was done in
opjn daylight. If the proper men can
l.e arrested, Hicks and Wheeler eau
. ertainly identify them.

FREE FERRY.
Des Are Enterprise.
lor cnlerprize and libciulity the
merchants of Des Arc are not behind
those of any other town in the State.
They are not aiw^'s hatching visiona
ry schemes, but when any practical
work is presented, such as building
bridges, makiug roads, opening com
munication with other points, etc.,
they step forward and give their mon
ey freely. They have made a contract
with the owners of the ferry at Des
Arc to cross and recross the people of
Woodruff' and Monroe counties, ami
all others coming to Des Arc tflth wa
gons and other vehicles loaded with
produce, free of charge. This coutract
einbruces six months, beginning with
tlie 1st of August and ending the 1st of
February next. This will save a large
amount to the people of that section
who have to come to Des Arc to do
their trading, as ferriage was a consid
erable item to them before. We hope
to see the people turn this way to sell
their cotton and buy their supplies, us
Dps Arc bas the advantage of being
the best cotton market in the State,
while low freights and single ship
ments places goods in tho hands of our
merchants at such prices as to enable
them to successfully compete with all
others. Our merchants arc making
preparations to do a lively business the
coming season, and farmers and plant
ers having cotton to sell or goods to
buy would consult their best interests
by giving Des Arc a trial this fall.
BayWo wisli to call tho attention of
farmers and planters again to tho ne
cessity of sowing a greater quantity of
wheat this fall than heretofore. If
they would become independent of the
Northwest and escape the present high
prices of breadstuff's, they must raise
ir li on i !■ Ann n f limn A N’lirn' AilliliAf Z1V_ ;
not I
having good flouring mills, l'or there
are several already in this county,
which, run to their full capacity would
supply six times the amount of popula
tion of Prairie county ; and we suppose
the other counties around are not very
far behind us. Make arrangements
immediately, so that the wheat can he
put in the ground early iu the fall, as
the best farmers we have inform us
that wheat, to do well, should never be
sowed later than the month of October
in this climate. Sow wheal, raise corn
and attend to your stock and hogs, and
hard times will be spoken of no more,
and bachelors will come to terms, while
calico will he in greater demand than
rations. “ ’Tis a consummation de
voutly to he wished.”
HEUI’UIS DRY GOODS TRADE.
The LeadiuK llonse-Renard or
Enterprise.
We cheerfully republish and Indorse
(he following from our cotemporary,
the Appeal, of the 20th ult. :
Having occasion, a few days ngo, to
refer to the hooks of the Assessor, we
were surprised to learn that the sales
of the house of li. I.owenstein & Itros.,
for the months of May and Juno were
ten thousand dollars more than those
of any other house in their line iu the
city- of Memphis, either wholesale or
retail, and double that of some of our
principal houses. Wc say we were
astonished, for we had never dreamed
the unpretentious looking establish
ment on the corner of Main and Jeffer
son streets was the emporium of the
dry goods trade of Memphis, and this*
feeling of astonishment caused us to
desire to pay them a visit and examine
into tiie causes of their great success.
Taking advantage of a leisure hour
on Friday afternoon, we strolled in,
and introduced ourself to Mr. It. Low
enstein, and were by him shown over
tfie establishment, visiting and exam
ining in turn each department. Wo
found them all complete, and each ono
presided over by a separate corps of
employes, and kept as neat as a refined
lady- keeps her parlors. To go into a
detailed description of them, would
occupy more time and space than wo
can conveniently spare to-c.ay, besides
requiring more knowledge than wo
possess of the minutiu of the immense
I paraphernalia of goods of all sorts and
j descriptions that are necessary for the
lunmnnnl •wliYi'nninnf rtf' )inneulw>1<l
j goddesses. Indeed, we never before
j had any idea of what young women
1 were made of, always having taken it
i for granted that the old nursery rhyme
' was true, and they were the embodi
; meut simply of -‘sugar and spice, and
j all that’s nice,” and that their rig was
simply the coloring of tho sugar plum.
Alas! how deep is tho iguorauco of old
bachelors 1
The cloak and silk room, however,
i was something that we could appreci
ate, and we cannot pass it by in silence.
The array of beautiful fabrics there dis
! played is a study for an artist, and ull
i so carefully and tastily arranged that
each article shows to the host advan
tage. So complete is tho stock of
Messrs. Lowenstein, that it is a proverb
among the Judies, when they have not
an article in the dry goods line, it is no
use to look for it anywhere vise.
The corps of employes number, even
iu these dull times, over twenty, and
each seems to vio with the others in
politeness and attention. Messrs. Low
I eustein are evidently determined tp
' have no rival in the city, aud our other
merchants might well take a lesson
from these enterprising men. They
must wake up, or other cities that are
: stretching out their hands for it, will
i grasp tho trade of ouv city, and bear it
away irrevocably.
teg- A few days ago a gentleman
visited Wooster. Ohio, looking for a
site on which to loeate a paptg- mill.
As soon as his errand was known the
: business men of tho place, instead of
raising their rents aud the price of
their lots, at once proposed to furnish
him, free of cost, a suitable site and a
steam engine to run his machiuery.
lie accepted the proposition, and is
making arrangements to erect a mill
that will cost about $35,000.—Ex.
Would Den Arc do as much if a
| eompanv proposed building a cotton
factory for her? We believe that kind
of a -oirit i» now coming ovw our
people.
RIVER NEWS, W'E-tTHEK, ETC
River quite low, and still falling a

night and down Saturday morning.
Capt. Wm. Ashford-was commanding,
and the clever Charley Smither in the

for favors.
Wc see it stated that Capt. Elliott

Dn. John Bull: I send you $30 for Ced

to after paying freight to Columbus, Miss.
I have been troubled for several years with
indigestion; have had to take pills every
night for ten or fifteen years, and in Februa

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Last February

My son-in-law who was with me in the

soon found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried

I have received many testimonials from

all of which are genuine. The following let

ly given your “Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has not failed in a single instance to have the
wished for effect. I am doing a pretty large
country practice, ana have aniiy use ior some
article of the kind. I am free to confess that
l know of no remedy recommended by the
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are un
eertcain in the extreme. My object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms I can get
the medicine directly from you. If I can got
it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal oi
it. I am aware that the use of such articles
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
! great, majority of the regular line of M. D.‘s,
but 1 sec no just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because wo may be ignorant ol
its combination. For my part. I shall make
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate
suffering humanity which 1 may be able to
command—not hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may have learned
its effects first, and secured the sole right to
secure that knowledge. However, I am by
* no uu advocate or supporter of the

The proprietor of this celebrated mediciuc
jnstly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for the
safe, certain, speed;/, and permanent cure of
Ague aud Fever, or Thills and Fever, whether
ofmhort or long standing, lie refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
to boar him testimony to the truth of the as
sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to euro, if the directions are strictly followed
and carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single
bottle, With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, and iu
every case more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been checked, moro es
pecially in difficult and long-standing cases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order ; should
the patient, however, require ft cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
loses of the Tonic, h single dose «>f BULL’S
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will bo suffi
cient
