It was our juensure to receive an invitation to spend the night with Air. J. A. Moore last Thursday, and it is needless to say we accepted, and en¬ joyed ourself to the fullest extent. Air. Aloore is a good farmer and raises everything at home, and his fat horses and cows, ami his well-stocked corn-crib and garner shows a degree of prosperity’ not enjoyed by every¬ one. The poultry yard is full of fine fat hens and yellow-legged chickens that would make any preacher’s “mouth water” to look at them. AYe were shown a curiosity in the way of a four-and-a-half legged chicken. It had four well-developed legs and the stub of another. Air. Aloore will make it a wooden foot, after which it will doubtless apply for a pension. Mrs. At. lias five geese that have laid 80 eggs this season, and when we lelt one goose was on her nest preparing to increase the number. Airs. Aloore is an excellent cook, and we did justice to two good meals, realizing for the first time that our vest was much too small in the waist. Friday morning we visited the gar¬ den, and were surprised to see such a tipe one at this season. AYe meas¬ ured some leaves of mustard that were IS inches long by 13A in, wide, also some cabbage leaves that were VJ by 17 Y inches. After gathering tiie Senior a sack of greens yye left, hoping that it would not bp long before we could repeat our enjoyable visit. J. W. AYansley comes up with the first snake tale. While plowing last week he turned up a large rattlesnake pilot, w hich measured about eleven inches in circumference, and its fangs " ere more than V inch in length. The annual picnic will be held at P erson’s Mill Saturday next. That place is noted for its .enjoyable an¬ imal picnics, and a good time awaits taose who attend, LOCAL BREVITIES, For tho convenience of most of our subscribers in the county, and of our correspondents, we have decided to change our publication day to Fri¬ day.

McConnell is arranging to have a nice dwelling built for iiis own use on tiie lot west of the jail. -AFi-. ,T. AY. Fleming and Miss Tiny Bond, of West Bowersvilte, were married last Wednesday- evening. The town was full of drummers Saturday. They want to establish a trade before the railroad gets here. Rev.

It was indeed a haply thought to print an entire novel in each number. Not a short novelette, but a long story such as you are used to get in bock form and pay from one dollar to one dollar and a half for. Not only that, but wth each number you get an abundance of other contributions, which gives you a good magazine besides the novel. It docs not follow in old beaten paths,—which is an easy task.—but is perpetually discovering new and pleasant ones, and foilowing them too. The ringing blows which have been struck on the gateway of popular favor , have resounded through¬ out the entire laud, and to day Lippi ncott’s Maga¬ zine st in its in the front rank of monthly publications , and is the ‘most widely-read-and-talked of publica¬ tion of its kind address in the world.
