To the Public.
Whereas it has been reported and circulated that, at a
place called Medium Meeting-house, I made
observations derogatory to the character of A. V.
BROWN, Esq. and said that "no honest man would
vote for him," I take this method to state unequivocally
to the public, that it is entirely and absolutely false and
without foundation. This, it is believed, the following
certificates will prove to the satisfaction of every
candid man.
SAMUEL HALL
July 30, 1823
This is to certify that I was at Medium Meeting-house,
Saturday 19th of July instant, and it being reported
that on that day Samuel HALL said that "no honest
man would vote for Aaron V. BROWN," I did not hear
said HALL say any such thing, and I think I heard all
that was said on that subject in public, nor do I believe
there was any private conversation betwixt said HALL
and the reporter.
ANDREW TURNER
Certified before us, this 29th July, 1823.
Abraham SUMMERS
William SMITH
Archer BEASLEY

We certify, that on Saturday, 19th of July, at a meeting

believe he did not say it.

Melancholy.
It becomes our painful duty to record the death of Mr.
Asa STREET, who was drowned in Mill creek, on
Tuesday morning the 25th ult. The particulars of this
unfortunate circumstance briefly follow : Mr. S. was on
his way home from Nashville, and attempting, in
company with a young gentleman, a stranger, to
cross Mill creek at Buchanan's Ford, when he,
together with his companion, was carried by the
rapidity of he current about 150 yards below, where
he was swept from his horse and sunk to rise no
more. The young man with difficulty succeeded in
getting out. The creek had been much swelled by late
rains and is at such times dangerous . . . Mr. STREET
was one of the first settlers of this county - a man
universally respected and esteemed. He has left a
large and afflicted family and numerous connexions to
mourn their irreparable loss.
--------------------
Distressing Accident.
Capt. Stirling C. M'LEMORE, of this county, was last
evening dangerously wounded by the accidental
discharge of a rifle. While sitting upon the fence with
his gun upon his knees, it slipped, when on catching it
suddenly and drawing the muzzle toward him it fired
at half bent. The ball, we are informed by the
surgeon, entered a little below the left breast, passed
the cavity and lodged in the point of his left shoulder .
. . He was living this morning, but his life is considered
to be in imminent danger.

--------------------
from The Village Messenger, Fayetteville, Tennessee,
Vol. II, No. 38, November 24, 1824:
Fire.-On Wednesday night last, about 12 o'clock,
the citizens of this place were alarmed by the cry of
"fire," which proved to be in a small building the
property of R. DICKSON, Esq. and occupied by J. H.
WALLACE as a shoemaker's shop. The fire had
made such progress before it was discovered as to
preclude the possibility of saving the building, and a
man who slept in the shop had barely time to make
his escape, before the roof fell in and not an article of
property was saved.-The fire next communicated to
Mr. TIMMINS' Hatter shop, which was also
consumed, but most of its contents were saved. Mr.
TIMMINS' dwelling house on the north, and Mr.
DICKSON's store-house on the south, were much
exposed and indeed several times on fire but were
saved by the exertions of the citizens. Mr.
WALLACE's loss is severe-his entire stock of
leather, a considerable stock of shoes, all his tools,
together with his books and accounts were entirely
consumed. Mr. TIMMINS' loss, independent of the
interruption of his business, is not great.
It is almost incredible that previous to this accident not
the least provision had been made to guard against
fire in this town-not a bucket, ladder, or hook had
been provided, and to this hour, after the property of
two of our most industrious citizens has been
destroyed, and the whole town in imminent danger,
nothing is done save the wind work of preparation.
The fire of Wednesday night is now extinguished, and
our citizens are again settling down into that state of
apathy and indifference, from which, we fear, nothing
but another destructive conflagration will awaken
them.

John GARDINER
Respectfully informs the public that he has
commenced a Latin & English SCHOOL, in the county
of Lincoln, nine miles north of Fayetteville, near the
dwelling of Hugh M. BLAKE, Esq., in which will be
taught the Latin, Greek and French Languages;
Sciences and Mathematics; the English Language
grammatically, and in all its modern improvements
and refinement.
Having been long a Teacher in the state of Virginia,
the place of his nativity, and also in East and West
Tennessee, his character and qualifications on that
subject he presumes are known.
To young Ladies who may honor him with conducting
their education he pledges himself that they shall
receive from him as good and refined an education as
they could obtain at Salem, in North Carolina.
To young Gentlemen who may select him for their
preceptor, he promises that they shall receive from
him an education equal, if not superior, to one
attainable in any part of the State of Tennessee.---
From the rapid increase of Scholars and Students to
his school already he anticipates the attainment of a
large number, and will be furnished with suitable and
well qualified assistants when the School becomes so
numerous as to require more than his individual
exertions. He solicits the public patronage to the
institution, and entertains the pleasing hope that he
will be enabled to render general satisfaction to the
people. Should he fail of accomplishing what he has
proposed, he will cheerfully forfeit all compensation
for his Tuition.
