|lttos atti aimer. looaC NOVEMBER 35. 1875. Wb return thinks for some delicious cake that found its wy to our office through the kindness of a much es teamed lady friend who knows hoar very fond we are of good things. Th* CrOBERT Place.— Wt> are au thoritavily informed that the Gobert place has changed hands, and Mr. Geo. Jones is now the owner. This adds something over a thousand acres to his already large tract of land in this county an d nor this place. Shooting Astray,—A Mr. Samuel Smith, got in a fray with a negro man just over Williamson’s swamp, in which the man and his wife were both wound ed. We understand the negro made the assault with a fence rail, and that in the melee his wife was shot by acci dent. Grant, Alweandkij A Co.—We are informed that this company are pros pecting in this county trying to buy a large tract of land in a body, upon Which to work a number of convicts, and that they are looking at what is known as the old town place, which covers over 3,000 acres. We have net heard that they have bought yet how ever. A C-4NPY Pulling.— On last Friday evening there was a candy pulling at Mr. Harlows, and quite a number of young people gathered together and passed a few hours pleasantly indeed.— Present the key, steal partners and fishing for love, were some of the plays indulged in, and promenading and so cial converse filled up the intervening spaces. We are anxiously awaiting to hear of another, in tact a succession of others. Thanksgining Day.— We struck up with a sable brother this morning and was accosted thus: I say, boss, dey say dis is hold fast day, I taut I’d a* yon bout urn, cause I don ’ eat notin’ if dat be de proclamation. I heard dat Mr, 'Grant said .t mast be hold fast day.— How is dat, boss? We explained to him that he was mistaken, that he had to give thanks for the blessings of provi dence on him for the year, but that he could eat as much as he pleased. He seemed satisfied, and said, “Well, boss, I’ll try and be tankful den, but I’ve made a mighty poor crop, and fore God I don’t know what I’m goin’ to do next year. Killed.— We received yesterday from Bethany, the proceedings of a court of inquest held over the body of Daniel Wiggins, p. c.. It seems that he came to his death by heavy blows from sticks in the hands of Mitchel Cross and Jack Palmer. Palmer has been arrested and held under a two h indred dollar bail for his appearance at the Superior Court. Cross is not to be found, It seems it was all done in a drunken row and it is highly probable that there was more implicated than the two to which attention is just now moreparticu iarly drawn. An Egg Within an Egg.— Now rea ders you may discredit this statement, and some of our lady readers may think we are speaking of a large egg with two yolks in it, but not so. This egg was picked up at Mr. James Gordon's, and shown to me by his wife just as it had been broken. The large egg was nearly the size of a goose egg, and when it was broken, the white and the yolk were not different from that of other eggs, and within that, was a small egg, well formed, and wi*h a sbell on it as hard a& the one in which it was found. We have heard of a wheel being within a wheel, but this is the first time we ever saw an egg within an egg. We have the small egg in our possession. Fine Chromos.— The attention of Hovers of fine pictures are directed to the the advertisement of Dr. D. P. Dun can, in this issue. He is agent for one of the best Northern illustrated weekly papers, and each subscriber gets a choice of three of the finest Oil Chro mos we have ever seen as a premium. Either of the pictures are worth twice the price of subscription to the paper. Do not take our word for it but call at >his office and see for yourself. See his advertisement. llavk You Paid Up.— Our renders will remember that we published a short notice some time ago stating that we would revise our Subscription book on the Ist of November and strike from it the names of every subscriber who had not paid up for his paper. At the re quest of many of our patrons we shall postpone the revision until after Court week, and, without an v farther postpone ment, we shall certainly make the re vision on the "80th DAY of NOVEM BER 1875, and erase every name who are in arrears for subscription. We shall adhere strictly to the cash in advance sys tem in future and will not, under any our This in the neme of a comparatively new art that is attracting considerable attentfba at.the present time- It aoosiaU ia. transferring pictu * Tree which hare been printed upon paper ia high and beautifu colors to any object one may wish 10 ornament, such s fans, work boxes, vases,flower pots, articles oT furniture, the.— When transfered these pic uras look as if pain ted upon the article ornamented, and the/ are much more attractive and beautiful than they would be if painted with e brush; unless exe cuted by a skillful artis; indeed this beautiful art otters a complete substitute for theproceas of hand painting for most purposes. The pio turns embrace n great variety of ai<b*ea a, each as beads, landscapes, animals, insects, flowers oemicAgaves, fee The artis easily acquired, aad children even soou b ;come experts. Trans ferring these pictures is a .charming pastime for old or young and * Wveo t > cultivate a taste for the beauiful. Ws have, received from J* L. Patten St Cos., 161 William Htraet, New York, who are dealer* in transfer pictures, some handsome samples of their goods. These gentlemen will, for the small sum of ten Oeuis, tend full lasi motions In thir beautiful art, to gether with ten ho ad same samples of the pic tures, or for fifty cents thry will i*qd one hundred attractive pictures / PENCJLLINOS- Ws smell powder. The boys are out to-day shooting al everything, from a snow bird to aw odU chuck. The stores are all closed to-day, and the merchants are calculating the profits Of U^BMlTOlf. Cotton comes into town cautiously, but not continually as we have seen it. We are soon to here another new liy ery stable in this place. Hurrah! Pucks are the most popular game that comes in for sale. Spring chickens have played out. The Dramatic Club are to have another rousing exhibition on tbe night of the first of December. It will he certain to epme o* The baud wiU play for them, The nights are so dark now, we can not tell how far it is, tilt we get there. The question naturally arises, where? And the echo answers where? Our friends are responding nobly to our call for cash, for which we thr>y them heartily. ’ Wa heard a colored voter regretting the ether day that while he was taking 250 pounds of cotton, that he did not take a bale, as he was caught anyhow. Mrs. Barlow from Alabama, has made arrangements to set up a millinery establishment in Louisville at an early day. Much success to her. The grist mill of Sinquefield & Har low is doing a good business now. 4 beautiful prospect: a gentleman with waxed mustache and tight boots, on his first legs hunting for a female fortune. 4 §46 yiew r a youth with more brass than brains, and with more good looks than good sense. A gloomy outlook: a look into the future without friends and without funds. Why is a bell like the whiskey frauds, because it has a ring about it. Young ladies should set a good exam ple as the young men always follow them. The vital statistics of this county •how that a woman will spend more titae' to hide a pimple on her forehead than she will to take care of seven children. There is a dry creek man that says, when it rains it pours. He had about 16 or 20 men, women and children to call in the evening, At last a cripled man came up and wanted to borrow a chew of tobacco. By this time it was night, and the they began to slacken up The colored teraperanoe society have had a supper at their Methodist Church They report a good time with plenty of cake and cold ham. Bethany is now in possession of a rail road station and agent. The agent is Mr. Seaborn Peterson, a very clever aud polite gentleman. It will be worth while for everybody to read how they treat their beloved pas tor in and around Bethanv. To be found on first page. We are pained to know that Johny Macßride is quite sick at his brother’s on Dry Creek. The Louisville Brass Band still keeps up that popular way they have of sere nading the Louisvilians, and sloshing around of moonshiny nights. We 1 i k|e a little Magic influ' ence now and then, but when it comes to spatering magic oil all over a fellow’s newspaper, its enough to make a mule sick, much less curing the braving brute. J s There has been a Presbyterian church regularly organized here in this place, with, the necessary number of officers elected, and ordained for its manage ment and supervision. There Was a good thing happened on an officiating Knight the other evening, but his extreme modesty forbids us say ing more. ‘We simply refer all who wish to know what it is, to the proprie tor of the establishment of M. Zackari as & Cos. Rev. Mr. Patterson left for Corsicana, Texas, on Monday the 22d. We wish him a prosperous journey. His Brother, Rev. A. L. Patterson, leaves soon for a charge in South Carolina.

HARD TIMES Yes, these are hard times; and times were hard last year, and tbe year before and the year before that, and before the panjc, and even before tbe war, when we “all had so many niggers.” There never was a time when times were not hard. There never was a time when the mass of men did not have to struggle for a living; never a time when it was easy to make money, easy to save it, and easy to have a big balance of net profit at the end of the year. Money making, except with dishonest persons or unscrupulous speculators, is a slow process; not only slow, but it is labo rious and besst with difficulties innume rable. Under favorable circumstances, it generally takes a life time to accumu late a fortune. There is no necessity, then, for so much gloom and despondency on ac count of “har ' times.” There are many failures at the present times, and there were always many failures eyen in the best days of the country. On the other hand, there are successes now in busi ness, and there have always been suc cesses. The bold, prudent, industrious man has ten chances to one in favor of success. When men fail, it is generally for the lack of one or more of these qualities, A prosperous community is one made up ofprosperous individuals. The rule for individual prosperity may be given in four words: “Live within your in come.” To those who are dishearten ed at the past and oppressed with the gloomy forebodings, we would say: Make a close calculation of your prob. able income for the next year, allow a broad margin for the looses and mishaps —and then determine that your expen ses shall not exceed it. Carry out this determination, labor heartily six days in the week, rest and worship God on the seventh, live in love and charity with your neighbors, trust in a merciful over ruling Providence, and you will never come to want.—Ex.
