For nearly a week past the temperature has been tematkahly low for the season, —the nights disagreeably cold, and it would have required hut little coax ing to have induced “Jack Frost” to giye us a “pop call.” McCall, i'opelan & Cos. With a truly Chrixtiun spirit, have irroat lp reduced the price of their Ladies Dress Goods. They are determined never to be called to account for refusing to “feed the hungry” or “c'othe the naked.” As will be seen fr >m consultii g their Special Col umn of this week, they are ottering great inducements in Dress Goods, etc. The la dies will take due notice. • Wm — Carpets, Oil Cloths, Mattings.

Bailie * Bro. are honorable gen tlemen and worthy the patronage of our people. Their business Card appears in this number of our paper—read it. mm • The Bee. According to announcement the “ Bee ” returned to our city on last Tuesday night ami attracted quite a crowd of young and old to the Floral Hall. The spelling was a success taken ns nn exercise—but •las ! only on,, succeeded, all the rest fell victims to hard words. Mrs. Walter Griffin took the first prize— a cake,' 1 and Mrs. Greene bore off the tin cup. The prizes were presented in the happy style common to W. H. Branch, Esq*. and Dr. W. L. M. Harris. The Strawberry Festival added greatly .to the occasion. The enter tainment was a success and all left the hall with thanks <to rite “Bee” for buzzing. Conundrum.

From inquiries instituted Inst year nnd continued this, in relation to the area cttl tivated by each of twenty f arn iers of our county in the respective crops, we are en abled to make a tolerably correct estimate (taking the information thus elicited ns duta upon which to calculate) of the area devoted to the different crops this year as compared with last. We find the following result : Increase in Cotton over last year, 4"P ot. Increase in Corn over last year, f* ct. Increase in Wheat over last year, 30 "p c . Increase in Oats over last year, 4 ct. While the proportion of cereals planted as compared with that of cotton is much less than it should he. it is encouraging to see that our farmers are beginning to ap preciate the groat difference in the cost of making bread at home and buying it from the West.

Pknfiei.d. Oa., May 18. 1875. Peak Herald: — The Railroad Convention at Aligns ta, last week interested quite a nutn l er of the boys of our town who availed themselves of the opportu. ity to make a visit to that beautiful city. It is amusing to hear their ace,runt of the trip. Some who put up at the Globe, were making dil igent inqnijy for “Mr. Globe.” that they might form his acquaintance. — Another left his lttneh at the Post' .Office to be cared for. One wanted “to <o, to the g.rave-yurd Yause that wa what he come to Augusty for.” An other had a dispute with a saleswoman with regard to her wares, threatening to go home and get them cheaper in Greenesboro’. But they became worn out with sightseeing at last, and got aboard the train for home. Sleep over came them, aud they were oblivi us to the fact they had reached the Point where they were to change cars. Mor pheus still had full sway. Some were aroused at Greenesboro’ and dropped ; others continued their sleep to Madi son and Covington. We felt some uneasiness for them, but finally all readied home safe, aud the older citi z:ds reported that they had been “good boys and behaved themselves.” l’hcy seem in fine spirits and ready for schoo*. We nope to he able to hear some ol them "hold forth” on Friday evening next. The Frnl. y evening’s ei-TCis-s are not without interest and call to gether quite a number of those whi led disposed to encourage b"th teach ers and pupils by their presence. gajjs-Once a month we have Rev. 0.

Farniets are sticking very closely to their business in our section. It is seldom von see ora of them in the village, except on business, which is much to their credit They report their hired labor better this year than usual. We think it must he, judging from the smaller number of loung ers on our streets. They als > report their crops in good condition generally, but back ward. Do we not see the germs of pros perity in this ? Shooting AHttir- Henry Jones (colored,) "as waylaid and shot, last Monday evening, about 8 o'clock, between Capt.

Jones was shot in the head and face, some thirty nr more large shot entering. His wounds a r e pronounced serious and his recovery doubtful. The cause of the shooting is said to be jealousy—-negro like. The ar rest of Boss '..as not been made. — SSmrt Fara^ruplis.

He thinks that as far as he has been able 10 see, the article mentioned presents a snowy, rather than a “cerulean tint.” Mfsixos.-- We saw the Local of the “Home Journal,” a few days ago, sitting on a box with legs hanging down, and his face buried in his hand*, coaxing an idea. He jumped up pretty soon, smiting* com placently. Weghal! likely know whftthat idea was in his next issue. Perhaps lie was thinking of his mishaps of last week—he might have been thinking of a bridle or harness, idee voting lady, or soraethiilg of the kind.
