Road Cart Given Away.
I have concluded to give some one
man in the next twenty who buys a
buggy from me a road cart free. To
determine who shall get the cart I
have prepared a list of twenty num-
bers, (from 1 to 20) and whenever I
sell a buggy the person buying will
get a chance at the cart free. Judge
McKenzie has the lucky number in a
sealed envelope in the Ordinary’s of¬
fice, and no one knows the number
except himself. YY’hen twenty bug¬
gies are sold the envelope will be
opened, and the person whose name
is opposite the same number in the
envelope will receive the cart. Re¬
member, I will sell buggies at regular
price, and will not charge anything
extra for the chance at the cart.
A, W. McConnell.

He Caught Snakes.
P. Jones Bennett gave us a very
snaky tale last week, but is corrobo¬
rated by several others, which makes
it true. While fishing a few Sun¬
days ago he put out some set hooks,
and going back to them in a short
time found three moccasins on them.
They had swallowed the hooks like a
fish, and, being quite large, were very
hard to land. It is nothing unusual
for a fisherman to see snakes, but
Jones must have had anusual amount
of bait to catch them.

YViiat a day wo had at Eastanallee
church last Sunday! One of the
greatest gatherings that has ever
been there on such an occasion—a
union singing. Toecoa, Martin and
other places were well represented,
and Caruesville was not left out.
Among the leaders were Profs. Ben¬
nington, Farrow, the three Hayes’
and Ii. B. Moore, of near Carncs-
ville. Surely this is a musical age.
Besides good music there was a
bountiful dinner, plenty of fried
chickens, cakes and other eatables.

Ilampley and J. B. Kelly got their
dinner or not—they looked hungry.
Come back again, boys, and give no¬
tice of your coining, and we will make
preparations for yon. The whole
affair was an enjoyable one, with the
exception of the appearance of a lit¬
tle too much whisky with some of the
boys. YVhen will the government
protect society from that vile stuff—
whiskey ?
YVe received a notice the other day
calling for a contribution to erect a
monument to the memory of some
one who had died. Monuments are
being erected all over the country,
and it is right and just to show our
appreciation of tho good men that
have gone before. But who has ever
thought of erecting a monument to
the farmer? The country is dotted
with the graves of farmers, men who
subdued the country and laid the
corner-stone of our American coun¬
try. They toil and labor all their
days, and pass away and are forgot¬
ten. The farmer has never asked
for a monument till lately. They
ask for one in the form of protection,
hut there is a great howl raised all
over the country against it. It will
not do; it is unconstitutional and fa-
vors class legislation! Oh, God!
what are the signs of the times and
of thy coming? Surely there is a
visible sign just now. Because in¬
iquity dotli abound the love of many
will wax cold, but he that endures to
the end will be saved. Luck.

and excellent contents, is a library in itself.
It was indeed a kappy thought to print an
entire novel in each number.
Not a short novelette, but a long story suck as
you are used to get in book form and pay from one
dollar to one dollar and a half for.
Not only that, but with each number you get an.
abundance of other contributions , which gives you
a good magazine besides the novel.
It does riot follow in old beaten paths ,— which it
an c<uy task,—but and is perpetually following discovering new
and pleasant ones, them too.
The ringing blows which have been struck on the
gateway of popular favor, have resounded through¬
out the entire land, and to day Lippincott's Mag i-
zine stands in the front rank of mouth ly publication r,

tion of its kind in the world. For full descriptive
