I t may seem strange to some of you when we tell you that John Hester, who is perfectly blind, has gone over to Duektown and secur ed a contract to cut wood. He can't cut a tree down but can do about as well ns anyone when he gets the tree down. He gener ally has a partner to fell the tim ber. This shows what viin and energy can accomplish. other or not. Some times the quantity gives a good deal of trouble as well as the quality. Last Monday Mr. John Moore This was the third j purchased tho town property of Messrs.

It was on the corner of this lot in a grocery where Sneoc 1 killed Campbell and was legally hanged in 1S42. Judge Huff, our present ordinary, is one of the few here now who wit nessed the hanging.

The name of Wm. Dotson of this county, has been placed on the government pension list again. Last Thursday he secured a vouck- 43,r for the sum of $CJ8 for back jxiy and will hereafter receive $8 per month. Bill has boon work ing m the gold mines here a Jong time. He is growing old and feeble now and this money will be a great help to him, and from now on ho will be called Mr. Dotson, like the rest of the people having plenty of money. The largest rattlesnake wo haye heard of in this section was killed recently on the mountain by Mr. J. C. Self. It was five feet long, with sixteen rattles and a button and would have tilled a half bushel measure. Mr. Self and his little boy were out squirrel hunting and the son discovered tho snake, and would have stepped on it the next time while it w.as in its .coil.

A gentleman was telling ‘us the other day about seeing a preacher sitting iu the door, out in the country, playing the fiddle on Sunday. Maybe he was just prac ticing to see if ho could be more successful in fiddling than preachs ing. We understand that one of the pastors of the churches here re marked that he didn’t see why they wanted to build a railroad to this place. We arc not at all surprised to hear of such language when it comes from one who has not enough influence in his business to cause the conyertion of a single person in six months, if not long er, and if we were in his place we would throw up the sponge and follow some other occupation, and not be guilty of receiving a salary for services not rendered. The absence of such sore-heads would he much more preferable. For when a preacher has no more interest in the town where lie is located than just to receive his salary his absence wouldn’t be missed.

Last Sunday wo wont out to tho Baptist church to hear Rev. J. M.

Before 'be ginning his sermon Mr. Gurley told of tbe many changes that had taken place here, and where ho lived since he had gone away when quite a youth. Tho ground where his father ouco farmed is now grown up in large trees and ho wouldn’t have known iho place had it not been for tho distance. This caused us to get to studying and notice many changes that had taken place, evo*i in the church, since wc use to attend when a boy. Out of a largo congregation we saw but two faces, Ca4.1t. \V. iL Worley and Col. W. P. Price, who wore there thirty-five and forty years ago. The amen benches, which wore occupied by old peo ple and furnished good old time vocal music, vvero almost vacant. The music is ground out now by an organ, not often used or enjoy ed by aged people. Wo saw just two of our old school mates. They too have changed and the course of long years are telling on them rapidly, Nothing looked familiar except tho contribution basket. It was brought around as usual. Not by the same persons wbo .earned it years ago, but by now hands, Tho others have long since passed away and gone ito reap their reward.
