Mr. W. C. Thomas, of Gaines

One day last week Deputy Mar
shal Grizzle being informed that
Virgo Parks and Will Fitts were
ruuning an illicit brandy distillery
out in Nimble will district, he made
it convenient to visit that section
with a posse. They found the
still in full blast, but the opera
tors ran off and could not be ar
rested. The still was brought in
and Deputy Collector Richardson
notified, who came up at once, and
all the officers went back, carrying
the still, in accordance with in
structions from headquarters and
destroyed it at the furnance. The
blockaders had destroyed some
things themselves and carried off
the pomace and other things and
hid them, These were found.
Then the wagon tracks were fol
lowed and found where it had. been
run out of the road and the team
unhitched and carried away—tho

posse saw full of apples the pre

Fp at Rock Springs camp meet
ing Just Saturday night one negro
had his throat or jaw carved by
another negro man. A woman, as
usual, was at the bottom of it. No
effort was made to arrest the
guilty one till the next morning,
lie was in a buggy with another
fellow and jumped out of it and
was pursued for nearly a mile by
tho officers without making his ar
rest. Then they returned and
arrested and carried to jail the ne
gro who was in the buggy with the
defendant. This, of course, is a

Mrs. Strickland and Miss Nuu-

a portion of last Saturday and
Sunday over on Long Branch, at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Early. Both enjoyed the trip
yery much. Mr. Early raises
everything that can be produced
on a farm in Ibis country and he
and his family treat everybody so
nice and clever that they never
fail to appreciate their kind hos

Yellow Crock, the last cauip
meeting that wo know of for
this season in this section will soon
he in progress, but we will not go.
We “fell out” with this place many
years ago while quite young and
tender. We were never there, and
met up with Dick Hardin, who
told us that he knew every body
that tented at Yellow Creek. So
we footed it in company with Dick.
Neither of os being handsome. We
were merely like a gosliu shedding
ils first feathers, and Dick was con
siderably “soiled’ by being in the
civil war awhile and then crossing
over to the Yankees. But now to
llie camp meeting. \\ e arrived at
the place awhile before night just
before supper time. Wo saw sev
eral acquaintances but they didn’t
seem to know either of us and we
got nothing to eat. After -servi
ces we stood around until a late
hour with no place to roost. By
and by James Fitzgerald came up
and at his suggestion Dick and the
writer went under thu arbor to
slumber. That night the minister
used tlie old familiar hymn of “We
will meet our friends over there.”
We felt confident that the preacher
was right about it, for our friends
were all gone, hut to what place
we did not know. Well, about
midnight while dreaming of snakes
and various other things, we were
aroused by a “shower” of rocks
Loiulsville Camp Meeting.
In company with Mi. and Mrs.
Thomas Tate nnd Mr. T. S. Lit
tlefield wo visited Loudsville camp
meeting last Sunday for tho first
time in a number of years. Wc
missed the faces of many persons
that were present the last time wc
were there. 'I hey have cross
ed over the river to an unknown
world. Yes, many changes have
taken place. Several of Iho tents
are gone and tho atbor badly in
need of repair,- being useless du«
ring a rain, but wo were glad to
see that a move was made to raise
money enough to do all neces
sary work. We contributed a small
amount just for the lovo wc have
for old Loudsville, it being tho
h cond camp ground wo over visi
visited. But no <diango 1ms beep
made in the hospitality of the cil-
izes of White .who tout and go
there to meeting. They look af
ter tho comforts and pleasures of
non residents and see that no ono
goes away hungry. To tell yon
the truth, it is a dangerous place
for a lean editor to go.
At noon wo dinned at the tent
of Messrs. Cantrell and Holton,
old friends and acquaintances of
ours. The table was laden with
good things too numerous to men
tion, and headed by our old
friend Rev. A. F. Norton, who wo
felt confident would have us looked
after in case woptnloo much. This
doubled our pleasures.
Wo met up with our friend
Mr. Seth McGee, another old tim
er. lie also invited ns around to
dine with him. Mr. MoGco is
known to ho one of \\ hites most
clever and prosperous farmers.
As the old saying is ho oats at
home and boards at at tho same
place. Clover, liberal and one who
spares no time nor money,in males
ing his homo comfortable and pH
visitors pleasant. Not long ago
one of his children took the meaa-
los. JIo sent out and got three
gallons of liquor. His child soon
got well. Having ten other
children to take them he sent off
and got thirty gallons more, so
says Mr. McGee. Wo only give
this to show how humor
ous lie is in his remarks. Now
if Mr. McGee was a drinking
man the prico of this kind of med
icine would he high. Wo have
often been invited to his homo and
one of those days we are going up
and spend a week with him.
We noticed but one minister
present that was at Loudsville
the first time wc were there,
and that was Rev. J. N. Austin.
But ho is growing old and at any
time is liable to bo called to cross
over tho river and ho rewarded for
the many souls that he has saved.
Rev. Mr. Fierce, tho presiding
older, occupied the stand at 11
o’clock. Wo do not know this di
vine, but can safely say that he
is an able preacher who is not mis
taken in his calling.
We may cause you to be a little
weary with our camp mooting trip
but we must not close before men

terfield, the photographer., it was
the first time, but we were not
long in learning that lie is a big

is prepared for-work and had it
not been on Sunday wo would
have had oar beauty struck.
