Bald win vilLe, Talbot county. Q a September 9.- The weather is getting e ?■ dremely dry in this section, causing eott m to open rapidly and prematurely. A good raiu is very much needed to allay the heat and dust, a ml otherwise cool the sultry at mosphere. We are anticipating an average crop of cotton and corn, though the iow price of the fleecy staple is having a depressiiv effect on our people, it seems to ben hard matter for farmers to make any mono' at their vocation. It is either too wet or too dry, or the price of farm products too low for them to come out ahead of the ex penses; yet wo perceive they live, too, like others, and always get along somehow or somehow else. Living in the country is so cheap., with plenty of unadulterated milk and butter, no wood or water to buy nor tine furbelows and costly apparel to adorn the forms of our pretty wives and daughters, and our children can play m the sand and grow healthy and fat Ivith soiled faces and hands. A\l these things have such attractions to those who live by the “sweat ot the brow” that they care not whether Prince Alexander is dethroned or earthquakes cease their rumblings, just so the sunshine and the rain come in due season. The Columbus Baptist Association will convene with the church at Taibotton on the 22d inst. We made a visit to the town yesterday, and learned that active prepa ration was being made to entertain the brethren, and to make the session one of the most pleasant in years past. A large delegation is expected and ample accom modations will be provided for all whose pleasure it will be to attend. Several min isters from a distance have signified then- intention of attending the association, and every one, regardless of denominational feelings, are expecting a grand time. A protracted meeting is in progress at this writing, at Mount Zion Baptist church here, conducted by the pastor, Dr. Searcy, and Rev. S. Maxwell. Meetings are held twice a day, and large congregations attend each service, and seem to manifest great interest in an outpouring of a bless ing here. The altar is crowded by those who feel a consciousness of their sinful nature and a need of Him who can cleanse us from all sin. Three have united by- experience already, and others are ex pected as the meeting progresses. Services are expected to continue during this ami perhaps next week, as the interest and -congregations increase each day and night. Our community lis honored this week with the presence of Mrs. Eugene Gran- berry and children, of Columbus, and Miss Mattie Turner, of Forsyth, who are visit ing Mrs. 8. B. Baldwin. Misses Maud Thomason, of Columbns, and Miss Lizzie Thweatt, of Fort Valley, are visiting Mrs. William and Mrs. Dr. Searcy. Mrs. M. J. Collier and her daughter, Miss Lucy, of Thomaston, and Mrs. J. C. Baldwin are visiting Mrs. E. A. Bald win. Mr. John S. Searcy, of Taylor county, is shaking hands this week with his friends generally, and among the fair sex espe cially. Mr. W. A. Roberts, of New Iberia, is vis iting relatives here after an absceuce of quite a year.

The An Iiiilfnii Sucil fur llri-in-li of I’romlM". Wafask, Ind., September 9.—A singular suit for breach of promise has been died with a chair. That episode occured later in the shampooing room. In the hot. room the attendment had escaped, and I found myself locked in befor I had disentangled myself from the sheet, and seized the chair, and have paid its value into court, but it was broken against the door, and not on the attendant, who was one of the most nimble fellows 1 ever saiv. Mr. Towells will find it a different thing testifying in court on oath to giving a garbled version of the affair to the inac curate reporter of an irresponsible paper. In tho interview I refer to, Towells said I kept up such a tirade of abuse at the operator who Avas shampooing me, that a Detroit alderman who was in the pooling room hud to get up and leave. To that, I have jvist- two things to say; win tho affections of a Caucasian maiden. The comp'aint alleges that Kid-Lo-Sie was assiduous in his attentions to Miss Engart, proposed marriage and was accepted, and subsequently, disregarding his betrothal, wedded another woman; to all of which Kid-Lo-Sie sets up a stout denial. Several damaging letters,,however, are in posses sion of Miss Engart. The demand is for $6000, and as Kld-L-i-Sie has property, a verdict in favor of Miss Engart would be worth 100 cents on the dollar. A (initi-fnl Idrri-hpunililit.

Chicago, September 9.—The only one of the seven anarchists condemned to the scaffold who doesn’t want a new “trial is August Spies, the good looking young editor-in-chier of the Arbeiter Zeitung. It is said that almost daily he remonstrates with the counsel regarding their efforts to obtain a new trial, or, in default, to take the case to the supreme court, and he has spent hours daily in a vain effort to bring* his comrades to the same way of thinking. He says that he has always had a present ment that he was born to be hanged, and that it was on this account that he never took ui^to himself a wife. He is in good health and spirits, has no regrets ior the Haymarket occurrence, or for his present predicament, and above all is vehemently opposed to appeals being made to his socialistic friends for funds to carry on the appeal. “I would rather die to-morrow,” he is reported to have said, “than to have the begging hat passed among my friends for money to save my neck.” A GIFTED MAN’S YARN. premises. Now as to the feeling of the attendant: To show you the utter recklessness of that man Towells, I may say that his min ion was lying insensible under the sham pooing table when Towells, having heard the row, came down. As the man has not yet recovered consciousness at the hos pital, I would like to know how Towells is in position to state what occurred. Here is now it happened: I said to Scrubbs: “I’ve got a bad cold, you must be careful about cooling down.” “All right,” said Scrubbs. He turned on the spray and I yelled. “Too hot?” asked Scrubbs. “Hot!” I shrieked. “It’s boiling. Great Scott, don’t you see you’ve scalded me? I don’t want to leave this place a skeleton for an anatomy museum. ’ “I’ll fix that in a minute,” said Scrubbs. He twisted a brass arrangement and turned the hose on me again. The drops struck me like pellets of ice. Before I been for the bracing effects of the admira ble Tonic.” Again the writer says: “I am proud of Greenville’s sons. Long live Dr. Westmoreland, and may his name be wide famed for the preparation of so excellent and palatable a medicine.” * * Sev eral other highly complimentary refer ences are made in the letter to the splen did effects of the Tonic. Westmoreland Bros, only ask any one who is suffering from debility, loss of appetite or malaria, to try their medicine. It is sure to revive and strengthen. “And all it costs is a dol lar a bottle.” Brannon & Carson, Wholesale Agents, Columbus, Ga. sep3 dlw Wreck of An Express Train* Washington, D.
