Next Friday is the day on which the tournament will be held. Everybody is earnestly requested to attend and thus contribute their mite to a noble cause. Many of the best riders in the south have entered their names as Knights, among whom are WALKER, TUCKER, MAYS, CROSS, and MEACHEN, who will contest gallantly for the prizes. A pleasant and interesting time is anticipated. Let all who can, witness the tournament here. In the evening a rare treat will be offered, as the young ladies of Bolivar will give a grand vocal and instrumental concert. Their programme, as arranged, embraces many of the most beautiful creations of the great composers, all of which, we can safely say, will be executed in a style as perfect as they are brilliant. Persons visiting the tournament and who have to travel by rail, will be required to pay half fare, that is, a return ticket will be furnished free of cost. For further particulars see advertisement in another column.

General N. B. FORREST has requested us to insert his business card in our paper, and most willingly do we comply. As will be seen, by referring to another column, the gallant hero has located at 272 Front Street, Memphis, where he will successfully conduct a general cotton and commission business, at all time making cash advances on consignments, and ready and willing to sell at low and uniform rates bagging, rope and other supplies. Our citizens are too consistent in all things to forget “the flesh of their flesh, or bone of their bone,” and hence 272 Front Street will be enlivened with true ‘sons of the soil’ from Hardeman county.

We would remind our citizens that on next Friday a large number of strangers will be here, nearly all of whom will desire accommodations; and we would here suggest the idea that it would be well for those who can do so to bring or send to the tournament grounds such provisions as they can, for there will be many persons present who willingly partake of something for the inner man. Hardeman county has a good name abroad for her generous hospitality, and it is hoped that her citizens will sustain the assertion with a liberal hand. Bring your baskets, and have them well filled.

For several months past, R. S. HARDY, Esq., one of our most worthy citizens, has been acting as the duly commissioned post master for this place, discharging the duties of the office faithfully and satisfactorily to all. Only two or three days since he was notified that his salary was fixed at $50 per quarter; a sum entirely too low for the services rendered, and the consequence is, that he refuses to hold the position. We are credibly informed that the office here clears over five hundred dollars per annum, and that formerly the salary of the post master was sixty dollars on the first hundred and fifty dollars on every additional hundred realized. Why this has been changed we are not able to state, but one thing is certain that our citizens generally, are loath to part with the services of R. S. Hardy, yet no one can complain of the course pursued by him in giving up the office, for its duties compelled him to devote much time and attention without fairly compensated. We do not believe that the salary allowed is sufficient and that it will be a hard matter to find any one who will permanently hold the position of post master at Bolivar for the paltry sum of two hundred dollars a year.

On last Saturday evening the Bolivar Brass Band, headed by W. S. BROOKS, made its first appearance on our streets. The band was present at the exercises over at the tournament grounds, and attracted no little attention. Its members deserve much credit for the attention and industry bestowed upon their enterprise. They will be out again this evening. If you wish to hear music, go to the track this afternoon.

Another of those nuisances, a drove of “scrub” cattle from Texas, passed through our town last Tuesday evening. A prohibitory law in this case would result beneficially to our citizens and those of the State in general. These pests scatter disease and death among all good and valuable stock with which they come in contact. Missouri has refused to allow drovers to bring Texas cattle into her borders. Tennessee should do the same.

The post office has been removed from Hardy & Wilson’s store to the office of James Pybass, in the building heretofore used by Taylor and Hainline as a grocery store.
