Owing to the advantages in tbe start, tbe nee Waa called a draw, and Mr. Cox declined to allow his colt io run again.

The crowd in attendance numbered be tween three and four hundred people, and everybody appeared to enjoy themselves bngely. If the town people had come oat as they should, the stock show and racea could have been made a big success. Tbe stock show and races clearly demon strated the fact that Dccatnr can raise as pretty and as fleet horses as Tennessee.

Yesterday morning it was rumored on the streets that tbe steamer Caddo Belle bad been sold to the People’s Line. Upon inquiry we found that the rep- rt was correct. The Co lumbus Steamboat Company was organized laSt summer, and the steamer was purchased in September, at a cott of f11.000. Tbe com pany expended some money in repairs, im provements, ehe., and the total cost was about #12.500. The exact price paid for her by tbe People's Line could not be ascertained, bnt the best information ia to the effect that tbe owners received a little over her cost price. It is said that the company had lost as much as #1,500 since the purchase of the Caddo Belle. At present she will ply between this city Bainbridge. Capt. C. A.

HIM ny,9 (i Bottom Figure« Rcmurkuble Snaall Pox Cur*. A correspondent ot thoBtockton (Gal.) Her ald writes as follows: “I herewith append a recipe which has been used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure the small pox, thongh the pittings are filling* When Jenner discovered cow pox in England the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon his head, bnt when the scientific school of medicine in the world—that of Paris —published this recipe as a panacea for small pox, it passed unheeded. It is unfailing as fate, and conquers in every instance. It is harmless, when taken by a well person. It will also cars scarlet fever. Here is tbe re cipe as I have used it, and cured my children of scarlet fever; here it is as I have used it to cure small pox; when learned physicians said tbe patient must die, it cored: Sulphate of zinc, on6 grain ; foxglove (digitalis), one grain; half a teaspoonful of sugar; mix with two tablespoonfnis of water. When thor oughly mixed, add four ounces of water. Take a spoonful every hour. Either disease will disappear in twelve boors. For a child, smaller doses, according to age. If counties would compel their physicians to use this, there would be no need of pest houses, rtf you value advice and experience, use this for that terrible disease.” Tike 8. 8. Mimtanary Meeting. This meeting came off Friday night last ax advertised. It was a most refreshing and en joyable affair. The meeting waa opened with prayer by Rev. N. T. Burks, aad a song in which all tbe children joined. * Mr. A. L. Townsend, President of the Sun day School Missionary Society of tbe M. E. Church, arose and addressed the meeting at length, describing tbe working of the Society —bow they collected money, and bow it was applied. He then pictured those who were opposed to tbe foreign missionary fond and why their opposition. After this ho declared the meeting ready for business, and called out the exercises as they were laid down in the programme. The children’s recitations were all good, and the singing waa splendid. Mr. Burke is an adept in singing, and he has made bis impress upon the school. The address ef the evening was delivered by Mr. Henry J. Bruton, and it was one to be proud of. The subject matter was good and well arranged, and its delivery splendid. Mr. Brnton frilly sustained his reputation as a young orator of superb endowments. The Rev. Mr. Lockwood, was ao carved away by the enthusiasm tbe speech inspired him with, that he exclaimed “Would that the Spirit might move' Henry Bruton to pi each the gee- pel.” At the close of Mr. Bruton’s address the classes were called, and as the name of each claS88 waa read out some member thereof arose, repeated a verse in the Bible, and then came forward with the money saved to go to the missionary fond. When the amount previously reported was added to that placed on the table on the present occasion, it was found that tbe Society for tbe year bed raised #52.50. being #7.58 less than their assessment. The Golden Liuk class having contributed #2.85 of the the sum collected Was called the Banner Class. Bnt there was #< .58 to raise to make up tbe required #60. Mr, Lockwood made a speech. He interspersed it with anecdotes, statistics and special pleading. He spoke long and well, and the audience were attentive. The hat went round and came back with hardly half the deficit—but Mr. Lockwood told tkem they must stay all night or pay up. Tboa he seined tbe crowd, and when he counted ont the nickles it was found that only 11.10 wm Beaded. This was made o$by ayounggem- b ear by and the books were eloeed. Alter a benediction the meeting adjourned. We believe in foreign missions, and our people all ought to give liberally to them.

A few years ago he bnilt a splendid gtist mill and gin in the city. It was making money, and had become one of onr institutions—hut one night a terrible rainstorm came upon onr town, and floods of water fell from the clouds as it the “bottom had dropped out.” The next morning waa bright and beautiful, but Barker's Mill had disappeared front the face of the earth. It certainly could not have taken wings and sailed off in tne ether bine, for no speck of it could be s°en in the sky. It bad caved into the earth, a shapeless mass of wood, iron, gins and millstones. Thus Mr. Burkett’s val uable property was rained in a night. Yet Burkett did not cry—if he even grieved no one ever heard of it. He laid his plans, however, and determined at some future time to build a mill, that would be a mill indeed, and upon ground that had a bottom. Well, Mr. Burkett has at Inst achieved hie object, and bis manufactory on West street in a credit to him. He has splendid new ma chinery, capable of furnishing an tbe power he wanta. His grist will turn ont over 100 bushels of meal per day. and he is busy put ting up machinery for making staves, which are in groat demand. He will also have a pow erful gin in operation.
