Can farmers complain ? This has been j a remarkable fall lor their work. A lather ot a two-Weelts-old baby calls i it “ Ma's newly drsi-overed satellite.” Go into our stores anti see what mer- 1 chants have the largest trade. These of course, who advertise. When the humid shower gathers over all the starry sphere, an umbrella is j greatly needed by the pedestrian. Beautify and purify yourselves and children by using Shriner's Indian Ver mifuge twice a year. Worms ruin the complexion. All who ordered Fruit Trees of the ■Nashville Commercial Nurseries to be delivered at Madison on the 1 ytit day of November, must t onne prepared on that day and vw.elve and pay tor them. The Agents have other deliveries to make anti can't, afford to wait on slow coach es. Oct. 26-4 t. I?. W. Ballard, of Jasper, was married to Miss Sarah M. Warren, of Newton county, on the 21st. They have anew railroad agent anti telegraph operator at Rutledge, the old incumbents going out. Mr. Murvow, late of Unton Point, tills both positions. Morgan county’s poetess turns out to be more of the fit, than the naScitor The stream of her limited education ap pears to have carried her to Sanders’ third reader. A young lady in town, who does not Jidda herself particularly on being a'po litical economist, thinks the sooner greenbacks reach “ pa” the sooner she'll be aide to invest in anew fill bonnet. Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup should be kept in every family. A slight cough, if un checked, is often the forerunner of Con sumption, and a timely doseol this won derful medicine has rescued many irojn an early grave. November the 19th is the day yon promised to receive and pay for the Fruit Trees you ordered ot the Nashville Com mercial Nurseries to be delivered in Madison.

This ambitious young jioetcss, who has “essayed” to ptvlm off upon an un suspecting public' this poem as original ideas —“heaven inspired” —as hey friend would cull them is, in the unpleasant and unenviable condition of sopiepf our eminent divines, wlio substantially • de rive their sermons from Buck’s Theolog ical Dictionary.
