A few articles of personal prop erty of the late Jamas Cleghnrn were sold at Bailiffs sale at the court house last Tuesday morn ing to satisfy tax fifas. We have been informed that Mr. Henry Braswell’s condition is bn'j little changed for the better. The shock he sustained was iud*d severe. Col. Thomas J.

B^turned—Mr John T. Bone, who left Dallas and moved to Alabama nearly a year ago. has, we learn,returned to his old home to remain. Welcome back. Af ter all there are but few instances where emigration really brings substantial benefit. Men should learn to be cou'ent, remain at home, strive haider, earlier and later if need be, and withal, us ing judgment in all their affairs; and peace and plenty and con tentment will reign throughout the luud.

Editors Era:—I have been thinking for sometime that I would reply to “B. H. O.” of Nebo, he says, “So far the public school system has done but little good in this vicinity." I would say that it has done much good in this section, as we . have compe tent teachers, and considerable interest is being taken in edui ute- ing our child ;eb. I would ad vise “B. H. O., ’ together with his friends, to try in tho fir it placo to secure better teachers, and teachers who will tench pri vate terms as well an public, and in the second case send your children to school. Little Jim. “How doth Mu'little busy bee Improve each t>1iliil..g hour.'' Except when the young swarm I is driven out of house and home and settle around their queen up on the bough of some near frluifc tree. We have a’new Apicist in town. Our “Breck” volunteered his muscular activity down at his b larding house the other day to hive a swarm of tbe black, hot variety. Now, of all things in the world, a black be had best be let alone when he in quietly settled aud hot. Well, “Breck,” in the presence of many ladies and gentlemen, procured a broom, (very effeminate) and proceeded cautiously ? to dislodge the little symbols ol industry from their •■itWv meut, boldly a wring that they would march right into their new home provided underneath lor them, under tho m igic touch of the broom, etc., ntc,. “Breck” raked ’em ofl—reader you have read of tho winding up of that Gasabiaiica business, hav- 'nt you?—or have you over had any immediate acquaintance with a first class Georgia cyclone? Tho bees wore hot, the thermom eter registered evorywhoro in the shade 03 drgrees nt that time, and that is no doubt the reason why the little workers came out of Unit sweat box of theirs, sim ply to cool off and r'-st. ‘‘Breck’s" calculations were not based upon an experience in a very large api ary. They ro doubt meditated an attack from so in- source, and hud 1 .id their plans, as the sequel has shown, well. A detachment from the main body sallying out mistook “Breck’s” orbital prom inences for knots on a tree, and forthwith proceeded to alight thereon; and immediately the broom went one way, the bees another, and “Breck” vanquished; retired in very bad order. “Breck” knows all about the business end of a hot, black oie.
