To Tie Continued.
Tlie History of Taliaferro Count?, we
are happy to say will be resumed, very
probably next week, and continued reg
ularly to the end.
A Good One.
A Hardshell Baptist minister remark¬
ed while preaching at Union church last
Sunday, ists that he hoped when the Method¬
stead got religion again they would home¬
on it .—Fort Valley Mirror.
Then they might sell the reversion.
Like beautiful jewels in brazen settings
are handsome features upon a face marred
by signs of blood poisoning. The great
Mixture. purifier of the blood is Dr. Bull’s Blood
Personal Card.
In our advertising columns, to-day,
will be found a “personal card” of Mr.
tl. A. Hamlet, of Thomson. Of course,
tee have no interest in the matter ex¬
cept the remuneration for an advertise¬
ment.
The Crops.
From many quarters come the com¬
plaint of sorry crops ; and Dom what we
have seen we deem these complaints well
founded. Some instances are reported
of good crops, but they are by no means
general. We do not think, let tho
seasons be what they may, the average
yield will be more than a half a crop.
A Modern Munchausen.
A slight pressure on our columns and
a lack of time, force us to defer giving
the exploits of our modern Munchausen
by flood and field this week, and do the
subject justicc. YY'e are collecting mate¬
rials and will try to give the history in
our next.
Religious.
The annual meeting of the Baptist
Church begins at this place to-day. The
meeting will continue till Sunday night,
and perhaps longer. Rev. A. I. Hartly
is now here, and Rev. YY\ N. Clmudoin
is expected to-morrow. These minis¬
ters will assist the regular pastor, Itev.
L. R. L. Jennings, in the conduct of the
meetings.
Fine Plum,
Air. W. A. Wright has laid upon our
table one of the largest and finest plums
we ever saw. It was of the purple
•damsen variety, weighed 2 ozs., and
measured 5 j inches in circumference.—
The fruit was taken from a young tree
(the first year’s bearing) in tbe garden
of Dr. J. W. Barnett, of Raytown in
this county.
Thieves vs. Peaches.
Peaches are plenty, but thieves are
more so. Air. Wm. R. Gunn informs ns
that a raid was made on his orchard a
few nights since, and several bags full
of fruit carried off on horses. If these
peach raiders could be made to spend a
few months repairing the public works,
we think they would learn to let other
people’s property alone.
Explained.
The editor of the Greensboro Herald
says friut : which “Many delicious friends thanks for the kind
our have sent us this
last week.” We’d tike to know justfor fun,
what the fellow means by "kind fruit.”—
Fort Valley Mirror.
Pshaw, Christopher, don’t you know that
brother Lewis is two lazy to arrange things
right if they don’t fail out so at first.
That’s, how it happened.
The Weather.
The long wished for rain has come at
last; but we fear too iate to be of much
benefit to the com and cotton crops. Yet
it was most acceptable, as it will do other
crops good and be well for the health of our
people:
The following is the rainfall, commencing
with Sunday last, as measured at Liberty
Hall:
Wednesday Sunday .31 of an inch.
1.4.5 of an inch.
Onr Fruit Basket.
This week we have had much fine
fruit and several fine melons. Mr. YY’. E,
HallbweD, of Bearing, sent us, by the
hands of Mr. W. J. Norton, a water
melon weighing some 25 or 30 pounds,
It was very, very fine, and we return
many thanks. YY'e appreciate these
favors of our friefids Very highly, and
hope their generosity will meet its re
ward in a good fruit crop next year.

he had none of his own—but so it is.

In our notice of our trip to
we unintentionally omitted to say that
from Thomson to the city we were under
the care of Mr. Hicks, conductor on
the through freight, and found him botli
polite and attentive. On our return,
our destiny was for the time being in
the hands of Mr. T. J. Woods, con¬
ductor on the passenger. Mr. Yvoo.ls is
an affable courteous gentlemen, and
leaves nothing undone to make ids
passengers comfortable—to ladies lie is
especially atteptive. If all the con
ductors were of his sort how much
trouble and anxiety would be saved to
strangers. YY'e always like to travel
with him
Our Frnit Display.
Several have sent us word that they,
would have a specimen of their fruit on
display at The Democrat office on next
Wednesday, the 15th inst. YY’e hope
that every one will come in, as the
whole affair is intended to show what
old Taliaferro can do when the lion is
roused in her. A committee of three
gentlemen will examine all specimens
offered, and determine who is entitled
to the belt. We suggest that the fruit,
melons, etc., be brought in on Tuesday
evening, so they may be properly ar¬
ranged and labelled. We wish to make
the display as interesting as possible, and
therefore, once more beg that everybody
from everywhere come in.
Nice Barbecue.
By invitation, we attended a social
barbecue, on last Saturday, at the Lan
dram Union School house, (the Justice’s
Court ground of the 006th District,)
given by the people of that vicinity just
to have a good time, and an interchange
of friendly feelings and neighborly greet
ings. When we arrived on the ground
we found many, both ladies and gentle
men, there, who seemed to be doing
their best to enjoy themselves, and to
all appearance were succeeding most ad
mirably. At the proper hour dinner
was announced, and adjourning to the
table we found it Ailed with a variety of
nicely barbecued meats, trimmings and
condiments to make it fully and com¬
pletely a most excellent dinner. Nothing
was wanting—there was an abundance.
We enjoyed the dinner, (we were not
alone in this respect.) and left the table
ready to testify that the good peple up
there are adepts in the culinary art__
We do not remember to have ever spent
a more pleasant day ; not a harsh word
was spoken nor a single discourteous act
committed, and when the day was done
the neighbors dispersed to their homes
pleased with the day’s enjoyment,
Pleased with their guests, pleased with
their neighbors, and pleased with them

who *' as kind as to come for us, and
whose guest we were while We remained
in the neighborhood, and to his family
we return many thanks for kind courte
sies extended. We like to he in the

and shall certainly avail ourself of the
next opportunity that offers of spending
another such pleasant dav.

Caught in the Act.
John Johnson, col., late of Wilkes
county, and who was escorted across
Little river by a committee from said
county, probably for some great virtue,
found employment on the plantation of
Air. Ben. Reid,and piously went to work.
But work is not all that said John John¬
son found; for Mr. YVillie Reid had a
fine watermelon “patch” and John the
Johnson, also found that, and not hav¬
ing the fear of the strong arm of the
Law just then before bis mental vision,
plucked a very fine seed melon on Satur¬
day night last, and on Sunday morning
proceeded to investigate the inside filling
of the melon. Willie Reid missed his
melon, and began a search which ended
in the discovery of (not the feathers) but
the rines of his pet melon where they
could only have been placed by John
the Johnson. John was interviewed,
and being offered a situation on the
chain-gang, which, by-the-way, we are
told he understands, effected a com
promise by paying .«2 for the melon ’
an <1 working it out at 40cts. per day.—
John will no doubt come to the cori
elusion that watermelons are costly
luxuries at that rate before lie gets done

some of the most luscious fruits and
above all at noon wedid ourselves justice
partaking of barbecue, and many other
things too numerous to mention. I)r.

not only pleasant to all but profitable to

have the pleasure another of the same
nature.

have, among other articles, “The For¬

Around the tree of l,IKE.
Where'er he s< es a rinlle too bright,
He Or heart, too pure, lor taint and vice ,
hears it to that WOULD OF LIGHT *
To dwell in Paradise."
