Hog and Hominy. —One of our mer chants received an order a few days ago from a farmer in our comity for some whiskey, as he was going to have a corn shucking. The note stated that he had just killed fifteen hogs which netted him 3,090 pounds of meat and turned him out 44| gallons of lard, and that he had fifteen hundred bushels of corn in one pile to be shucked. We would mention the gentleman’s name, but he is not a seeker after public no toriety and we are afraid that Harris of the Morning News would have him hist ed for Governor in his next issue.— However if there is another farmer in Jefferson county who can beat this and would like to control the interest of the State for four years, alt he has to do is to come forward with his corn and pork and send us a hogshead of saus ages and we will vote i'or him in spite of all the Smiths, Colquits, Janies, &c., there is in the State, Bring along your sausages. More Turnips.—Mr. Jessie Leap trot has placed us under obligations to him for a basket of very fine tur nips. He is another one of Jefferson counties best farmers and knows how to live at home. He has brought two loads of pork to town to sell this winter and says he now has a Cue lot of hams which he cured last winter, for sale.— These are. the kind of citizens that we like to talk about. While we are on the turnip question we will state that we have just received a letter from one of our subscribers over in South Carolina, stating that he had just shipped us by express a sam ple of turnips from his patch. The turnips arrived last night all safe ; one of them was Hie finest we have ever seen It measured 27 j inches in circumfrance, and was raised by Mr. Nathan Stevens, of Hattersville, South Carolina, lie will please accept our many t hanks for ■■MMiaa—iaittaaiic-_of us. Dinner. The- Grangers of Louisville met on last Saturday and had a nice little feast.— There was any quantity of chicken and pork, custard, cakes, pickles, &c ; there were fruit, in profusion too, apples ami oranges. The oranges were splendid. They were made small of, called sour, and all that, but disappeared rapidly nevertheless, for we could not get one to carry home with us for our bad cold. There was a gentleman present who on all such occasions “immortalizes him self.” There was a subscription taken up to get him to stop eating in conside ration of his. wife and children, and he had the impertinance to go down town and,buy cigars with the money. The following officers were elected for-the next term : John G. Jordan, Master, • S.. Alexander, Overseer. A. L. Patterson, Lecturer. 11. D..Murphy,. Chaplain. J. G.. Cain, Treasurer. R. J. Boyd, Secretary.. T. A. Mcßride, Steward. D. J. Alexander, As't Steward, E. A. Wasden, Gatekeeper. Mrs. S. A. Denny, Ceres. Mrs.. W. F. Danny, Pomona. Miss A. Lizzie Patterson, Flora. Mrs.. Carlos Roberson, Lady Assis tant Stewart. After which the Grange adjourned to meet on-the - second Saturday in Janu ary next. The Party.— As has before been inti mated, the young folks in- the piny woods, had a party on Wednesday night at the residence of Mr:, N. li.. Whigham. It was indeed a very pleas ant affair, and the young people were there in,profusion, and eaeli one had a fair-share-of smiles along, to lavish on the brave, or the fair, that he or she liked the best, as the case might be.— We were there oi course, and helped to pay for the music (and there was lots of it, about every third man being a professional), and-, oh, how we drank it in, as it resounded through, the hall like the whispers of first love, or the lavs of'a setting hen. We had our smiles along too. but they fell fruitless by the way side. However they may spring up in the future. There was no want of grace in the fair throng, that moved and flitted in fairy like ease be fore our eyes, and no want of chivalry and manhood’s power to please, in tho sterner sex, who- were here and there, like busy bees,, seeking honey from every opening flower. The two happiest men we saw, were about the same age—a little over the “if you don’t love me L’llgo. crazy.,.” time of life—but nevertheless one in a comfortable-corner, and one by a win dow where the gentle moonbeams peeped tenderly through at a bashful batchelor; seemed absolutely absorb ed in sentimental small talk. Mow, whether this was the case deponent saith not, but to all appearances they were lifted in temporary rapture, far above this sublunary sphere, where Cupid’s arrows thicken in the air with their rapid and continued flight. We sucked an orange or two, kept smiling a few on the ladies that sit near us, listened to the soul thrilling music, and after a while a lean, anx ious looking.young man, with no jnus, tache at all, and his hair not even split open in the middle, beged' the crowd to listen to him a few minutes, which of course they did. lie held them spell bound for about a minute, which em braced the time lie was telling them to go to supper. We like this young man and we presume the- girls do too. The supper was excellent. Kiss verses and conversation candy was cir culated freely. There was a young lawyer present that wcthink forgot all about Blackstone in the play of steal partners, and in the whirr’ of the bow strings.. Toi sum it all up, we had a nice time, and we think that everybody else; did, especially that lengthy youth who personified perpetual motion, by never allowing himself to be still the 27th part of a second, from the begin ing until,he left, and for aught we know he may be gyrating about now some where. D. G. Tliiilips, chairman of county school board, is in the city to-day dis pensing to the public school teachers, the quota of the school funds. Clothing ! Clothing!!
