Mr. \Y F. Combs, former editor of tlie
“Courier,” in company with 11. R. Foote,
■Esq.,-left for Atlanta, bright and early, on
tlie morning of tlie 18tl)., desirous of tak
ing in more of the Exposition.
It is real amusing to see the boys having
their pants enlarged, buttons sewed on
with “whang,” and starving themselves
half to death, preparing for Christmas.
'I lie truth is, they are aiming to get fat.
llow is the Christmas Tree by this time?
We hope all will take more interest in it
and faithfully discharge tlie duties assigned
them. Let all the people work together
and then we will have what we have long
desired, to-wit: a nice time.
There are no flees at this season of tlie
year, lienee tlie people are not so industri
ous. To prove fids, a feliow will come
into our office and get between the printers
aud the fire and remain as many as several
hours without moving a single lime.
Mr. \V. F. Combs, whose name appeared
on one of tlie Christmas Tree committees
last week, says we made a mistake when
we called him “Col.” W. F. Combs. He
says be is only a private, therefore we are
under obligations to make the correction
in this issue.
It is said that on tlie night of the 18th,
there might have been 6een, between the
hours of four and five, a. m., a j’oung
man (whoso name we would not mention
for the world) wending his way home

every sense of love. lie s a nice young
man ! "While kissing the parting hand lie,
whith sparkling eyes and quivering lips,and
with all candor imaginable, ventured to
breathe in her lovc-sickcn ears (which are,
at all times, open for the reception of
woriD that burn with love—as does Ins)
tlie following words:
“If you love me say so at once,
To raise my spirits higher—
And name tlie day when I may come,
Kscoitcd by the Squire.”
She drew a long breath, and for a time
was speechless. Stic was bewildered and
knew not what to think or say : hut final
ly she broke forth in "‘<>rds similar to
these: .
“Dearest, those words in my mind do
dwell,
And to the last two lines I would my,

So, see the Onhnuiy, 1 pray.

old and valued citiz'n, which took place
on the 7th instant at his residence, on

tho Methodist Episcopal Ohurch; an hon

to bis feliow man, bis State, his family
and friends. Our sympathies arc extend

How to Increase Your Income.
Just at this season ol tlie year there are
among our readers, those looking for em
ployment for the next ’six months. We
have lately received from L. E, Brown &
Cos., the well-known manufacturers of
specialties for agents to handle, a request
to put them in communication with one or
more suitable persons in this locality, to
act ns agents in introducing several of their
patent household articles to this communi
ty, and after consideration, we take this
method to comply with their request. The
firm are manufactuers of a large number
of household articles, which they introduce
to the public by means of agents, having
sometimes as many 1,000 persons in their
employ. The particular articles which
they seek to introduce here, at this time,
are: Brown's Peerless Sifter, generally
acknowledged to tie the best m the world
of which nearly one million were sold dur
ing the last year; the Kitchen Queen, the
latest and best invention in Coil Oil Lamps,
aud the only absolute Sale Lamp made;
tho Centennial Cake and Bake Pan, an ar
ticle winch lias a national reputation, and
is the delight of every housekeeper; the
Half Minute Egg Beater, which always
sells at sight, aud the new Alto Relievo
Bronze Profile Cast of JAMES A. GAR
FIELD. "with memorial frame the best
selling article ever put into the hands of
an agent, the best of all the portraits,
chronics or steel engravings that have been
offered. It is a truer iikeness of the ma p
tyred hero than any we have ever seen be
fore, aud its price brings it within the
reach of all. For this county, Messrs.
Brown & Cos. desire as many agents as can
work advantageously. Any smart, intelli
gent lady or gentleman can make a fine
income in this way. Tlie firm will send
to any responsible person free who will as
sume the agency here aud go to work, a
complete outfiit of these goods, to the
amount of five dollars- The reputation of
this house is first rate; the goods are what
they represent them to be. 1 heir tcims
are liberal, and we advise those looking
for genteel remunerative employment to
send to them for further information.

“WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND.”
Ample testimonials from every section
of the country show that Bradfield’s Fe

Many suffering females have tried it, been
cured, and bear witness to its merits with
sound constitutions and rosy cheeks. Its
record is before tlie public. Don’t fail to

complaints peculiar to your sex.
Goodwater, Ala., July 2d, 1877.
My wife was sick for a long time with
