Our advertising columns present, as usual, many attractions. The late hour at which we receive the favors of many of our advertising patrons, and the very crowded state of oar columns, render it impossible to give them the usual local notice to- j day. We shall certainly notice all next week when we shall have space todothem justice. In the i mean time, let our readers not fail to read our ad- j vertiseuients—you will find something there for YOU.

The Tournament, which was to have taken place on the Gth, came off Friday last, in our town, eliciting considerable interest from our citizens es pecially on the part of the ladies. The day was very cold and windy, but notwithstanding the dis agreeable weather, quite a crowd was in attend ance to witness tho performances, and good hu mor and general enjoyment reigned supreme. All things considered, the aspirants for knightly honors acquitted themselves with much credit,and we think, with a little more experience and prac tice will be able to compete successfully with the most skillful “Tournamentists,” of the State. Can dor, however, compell- us to say, that, in our opin ion some of the younger and more susceptible of the Sir Knights would have done much better but for the nervous embarrassment and delightful confu sion occasioned by the presence of so many of Mc- Duffie’s bright-eyed belles. The following gentlemen were selected Judges: J. T. Stovall, J. T. Wright, T. A. Scott, J. W. Thomas, D. B. Johnson, W. Tommy O’Neal and It. Toombs Barksdale. Our space will not admit of a separate notice of the different riders, and their various and surpri sing feate of horsemanship, but the following is a list of the Knights and the number of points scor ed by each: B. A. Embree 17 ; L. S. Wilkerson 20 ; W. O. Harrison 14 ; Justin Reese 1G ; B. B. Martin 25 B. S. Embree 21 : Dr. E. S. Harrison 29; T. V. Hamilton 16; B. M. Evans 9; J. H. Casey 30 ; A. H. Sturgis 27; R. W. Ramsey 204; Sam Rouark 7 The festivities of the occasion were closed with a hop at the Courthouse, w ich, as usual, was en joyed to the fullest by the fair ladies and gallant knights. Mr. J. H Casey crowned Miss Willie Richards, Queen of Love and Beaufcv. Dr- E. S.; Harrison crowned Miss Julia Benton first Maid of Honor. Lieut. A. H. Sturgis, being a married man, gracefully yielded his right to select the sec ond Maid of Honor to Mr. W. 0- Harrison, who crowned Miss Georgia Durham. Mr. B. B. Mar tin crowned Miss Julia Wilson third Maid of Hon or. We weje present at the dance only a short time, but, from what wc saw, we can confidently assert . that few more pleasant and agreable occasions j have transpired in our midst The Jusncßs Court, held its regular session in Thomson, Saturday last, Wm.
