plantation of Mr. Rxbtri Johnso. ,
a few dnvs ago, who was thirteen

fornate one, and we are glad to hear
of this improvement.
Our AoxIN. — We are glad to see
Rev, S. T. Fuller on the streets again.
He had the misfortune some time
since to get his foot badly cut. He is
not vet able to wear Ins shoe, but can
attend his regular appointments. Air-
Fuller is a well educated and talented
young minister, and we are glad
that he can meet his congregations
again.
Unfortunate. —W e regret to
learn by a letter to Judge IT. C. Kim
brough, that liia little grandson, Hen
ry Clark, had bis leg broken by a
falling door, one day last week. I'
seems tliat he and his mother were
out at the fowl house attending the
fowls, when a puff of wind came tip
blowing down the door with the
above result. The little fellow was
getting along very well at the time
the letter was written.
Personal. —('apt. T. 11. Moore,
master of the Julia Bt. Clair of Cen

last week, and cast anchor and tied

and has none of the air of I own-the
whole-concern about him. Ilis most
excellent anl charming lady accom
panied him, and we hope their visit
was made pleasant enough to insure
us another call.
Swimming Match.—Mr. Welch, of
Hamilton, proposes to swim a mile
against any man In the United States.
He proposes to swim only in fro-h
water, and says he will wager SI,OOO
on each swim, and will meet any man
on the half way ground. He also
proposes to dive against anyone who
may feel disposed to show his pluck,
and will also go fcl.ooo or any othu
amount on that. If there is anyone
who would like to t -ke a little exer
cise in that way, lei him come t> the

Thommton Herald.
If there is any use for such
flings as the above we fail to see the
necessity for it. Mr. Hudson is the
Senator from the 251 h district,and is at
this time quite ill at hisresidenoeafew
miles from town, and it is generally
thought that his iilness is the result
of his hard work and loss of sleep
during the present session of the Leg
islature. It was through his efforts,
and careful nursing of the N, & S.
R. R. bill that the old stockholders
were able to gi t the recently passed,
generous bill through both Houses.
It has been stated that others did
the work, but we are satisfied Senator
Hudson deserves all the credit, and
we think it nothing but fair that his
constituents should know he has not
been sleeping over their interests.
The Judge is an active, generous
man; fearless in the discharge <f
duty; and makes us an excellent sen
ator. We hope he will soon be re
stored to health, and able to take
his accustomed place iu the busy
walks of life.
Quarterly Meeting. —The meet
ting was very well attended, and
proved quite an interesting service.
Rev. J. B. McGee preached several
very interesting sermons. He is an
able divine and the people in the
main are much pl.-ased with him.
The Sabbath service was very im
pressive and the house was fi led to
Ihe bark seals. It was gratifying to
sec so many of the young men anJ
young ladies come forward and par
lake at the communion table; it
shows that they are not ashamed of
the Gospel of Christ .
In the afternoon, three children of
ilia Rev. G. S. Johnson was baptised
at his residence, by Rev. Mr. McGee.
Rev. C. B. LaHatt preached quite
an interesting sermon at the night
service.
The Standard reports that Ed.
Sally, who was arrested for killing
his step-father in Talbottop, has been
sentenced to bo hung on the 29th of

the first instance that we ever heard
of where a criminal was sentenced to
bo hung on Saturday. Can the

Call for n District Convention.
In the ab once of a ohai mtn for
his distro , no oall has been made
for a convention to selool delegates
to the National Convention at St.
Lotus. A number of senlletuen have
suggested that the different counties
in this district, select d< legates on
tho 14:h of April to meet at La
Grange on the 21st of April, to se
-1 ci delegates to the St. Louis Con
vein ion. No one sems to recollect
who the last chairman was, and we
don’t know ourselves unless it be
Hon. W. O. Tuggle of La Grange.
Those with wlmm we have talked
prefer La Grange, as it is about the
most central part of the district. VV’e
hope our country exchanges w ill uo
tice the tint* and place designated
above, and agree to hold it there.
This is the Fourth District, ami we
are entitled to send to St. Louis two
delegates from the district, aud four
from the State at large.
The counties can sond twice as
many delegates to the La Grange
Convention as they have Represents
lives iu the Legislature.— Columbus
'Times.
We have conversed with some of
our prominent men and they agree
to the above proposition. We are
icquesttd to anuounco that there will
ho a meeting held iu Hamilton on
the 14th of April to select delegates
to the convention at La Grunge, on
the 21st, if that should he tho place
and time agreed upon. Harris coun
ty is entitled to four delegates.

herself through the heart with a doub
