Mr. R. J>. Brown of this County has a
lieu that a little over a month ago hatched
out twenty-five chickens. She weaned the
brood in three weeks, which then number

more eggs, and then took her seat again.

Wc overheard the following conversa
tion a few days ago : a drummer said to an
old merchant. “ I have been three years in
Atlanta.” "Ah, then you are one of the
old citizens there ; few men can sa}" they
have lived three years in Atlanta. Almost
sny can live a lifetime in three years
in that fast, go-ahead city.
Music in tin* ( hurrk.
The organ in the Baptist Church last
Sunday added very much to the exercises,
and wc think will improve the singing a
great deal. It is true that some are averse
to instrumental music in tho Church, but
they are certainly not attentive Bible rend
ers, or they would know better. But in
our enlightened community we suppose wc
have no such ignoramuses.

Rev. 11. M. Hatton preached in the Bap

ways does, gave his congregation one of his
line, simple, touching sermons that none
forget who hear him. What a pity such
men should ever grow old. The congrega
tion was composed of some Baptist, a good
many Methodist, who are so tiospel greedy
they attend all meetings, and the balance
were plain sinners.

A Pump.
IJi an's double-acting stone force pumps
for deep or shallow wells, are the greatest
comforts of the age. and are worth more to
housekeepers than a dozen sewing ma
chines. An agent put a pump in our well
with the understanding that he would take
it out in thirty days if not satisfactory,
and although we never liked pumps, we
would not be without this pump for the
price of it every year. Kev. W. 1,. Fore
is agent for this trulysvaluable pump.
Heavy on Spouses.
We clip the following good hit from the
Keou'ee Courier: “Some business men
would rather sponge on a country fence
than pay a newspaper anything for adver
tising, which is so true that it is enough to
make a printer crack himself on the head
with the “shooting stick ’’ or drown his
“devil” in the ink keg. Some “business”
men will walk through the mud a whole
day with an old paint pot in their hands,
daubing upon every board they some to :

one soft dollar would add several more
lines and put them in decent shape in any
respectable newspaper in the country.

We met old Wins, on the streets a few

abundantly pardon. Then, let the back

possible; let old things pass away and new
ones come in; let us all look forward to
that immortality that was predestinated to

A day or two since, a negro living on the
plantation of Mrs. L. Adams, in a lit of
spleen, threw a rock at a young and valua
ble ox, striking one <*f its legs with such
force as to break the bone. This is the
second time lie has been guilty of this
trick, having broken a cow's leg last year
in the same manner. The severest punish

An Old Wan's Vag-uric*.
An old man, not a hundred miles from
Hartwell, played the following tricks on a
couple of boys : Stepping into a store, he
picked up the cat. ami said to the clerk :
“ I'll bet you my knife against yours 1 can
make this cat say 4 fat bacon and collards *
as plain as you can.” The bet was made,
the old man shook the cat and made it
squall, then handing it to the boy, said,
“ it is now your time, 1 have made it say it
as plain as ! can.” The boy looked blank
and gave it up.
He then bet his knife with another boy
that lie could sit in the store and whistle
him in bareheaded. The boy took the bet
and went out. when the old man com
menced whistling. The boy catne in hold
ing his hat on bis head and claimed the bet.
But the old man said he was bareheaded
himself, and bad won. Upon an arbitra
tion, the knife was given to the old man.

A Unit Near*.
The people of our town received a bad
scare on last Sunday evening in this wise:
Hr. K.horhart and wife drove out of town
on their wav to Mrs. Stowers', and when
about ii half mib from the village, Mr-
Ebcrhnrl raised her parasol, which caused
the horse to give a quick jump, breaking
one of the traces .and causing the single
tree to strike the animal'. Hank, 'l liis af
frighted him so that he plunged and kicked
violently, throwing Mrs. Eborliart between
the hind wheel and body of the buggy.
The Boctor then let go tluMwins and went
to Mrs. KbcrharCs rescue. In tho mean
time the horse had disengaged himself from
the harness, and returned through the tow n
at a break-neck speed, causing much
alarm to our citizens, feat- being enter
tained that the Doctor and his wife wen
badly injured, if not killed. Quite a num
ber went to the scene of action, but were
agreeably surprised to tind, w ith the ex
ception of a few scratches and bruises sus
tained by Mrs. F.lierhart, a broken shaft
and torn harness, all w ell. The horse was
slightly lamed himself by bis tantrums.
Moral—new harness and a buggy umbrella.
