Recently Mart Walker brought in a well developed bunch of grapes of the second crop for this year. Our Southern people delight in being humbugged. This town is included in the South and some¬ time suffers the same evil. Jesse Dent has moved out to the old . Dent homestead. He aims to try the farm, the very best place for young men. It may be legal to thrust a par¬ ty into prison on a petty charge and confine him or her there for six or seven months without any chance for a trial, but it is not right law or no law. Hiram McCrary has harvested his crop of upland rice. It was not planted until June but he housed a good yfeld.

We are requested to say that the next quarterly meeting of the county S. S. Association will be at Benevolence Church on the 25th of this month. New gopds coming in every day. Call at The New York Store. B. Chapman. What about a County Court? One in this county would pay its own way and with proper man¬ agement bring money into the treasury. Bond and Blasingame s gin¬ nery 7 is the biggest thing that turns wheels in this section. They gin cotton cheap as anybody can—have all modern appliances and fixtures. They will give you more for Cotton Seed than any buyer, no matter what his offer * s - ^ r -V them, Bond & Blasingame. We need enterprise and a double supply of push.

Our neighbor Chapman is one of your “git there Eli” sorb He went out ahead of one of the liv¬ ery horses this week. Will Smith comes in with a bunch of grapes about ripe and claims that they are from the third crop of this season. The way of the transgressor is hard. Much indebtedness also puts a fellow in flinty paths. Wilson Allen needs two more eyes. One more for looking at horses and still another to spy a pretty buggy. We raise no ob¬ jection. but delight in the same. In this issue appears Mrs, M. R. Carnes’ advertisement of her millinery business.

These rattle-brained fellows that continually bawl against everything and everybody might confer a favor by informing some clothes dummy what they expect to accomplish by such a course. v One of our exchanges puts it down that some of the henpecked husbands of the country would fare much worse were it not for the hen that inflicts the peeking. Yes, it is bitter to undergo some little inconveniences now and then than it would be to furnish material fora star ve-to-death ex¬ hibition. Mr. John Parker who now lives in Texas and who was once tax collector of this county twenty years or more ago, is now out on a visit to Mr. II. C. Bowers and family.

The sun varies somewhat; the moon is credited with constant changes. The times, financially, continue after the same old sort—hard, as we poor mortals term it. There are multitudes of these five for a nickel kind of fellows. They are dead weight but such is sometimes necessary as waste for balance purposes. Some men bank on their means; some on judgment and intelligence. Oftentimes capital is very scare in £“ther case; First class board and lodging will be furnished by me court week at reasonable rates. Try me. F. DANIELLY. A young lady of exquisite judg¬ ment said thus: “The party who told Mr. Trammell he looked well with his present supply of beard made an awful mistake.’ Frank Danielly with liis force of hands is in Culloden engaged in building a fine residence for Rev. Wilde Cleveland. Merit will win aneh&ar Crawford work¬ men are clothed in it. Don’t be so much woolgathered or blinded as to try to order your paper discontinued when you have failed to pay for it. Such steps do not relieve or release von. Stand to the rack. It is not in the hands of children. It takes about two pounds of cotton to buy one of meat. While this is true it is at the same time true that the meat and other provision supplies needed might be raised here at home. In that event the proceeds of cot ton sales would be put in the pocket. Dolphus Grace’s mule, a few evenings since, without much cer¬ emony gave him an emphatic in¬ troduction to the ground right under the gaze of a host of spec¬ tators. Such occurrences make a think wonderfully hard, if his time is not consumed in look¬ about to see whether the sun in eclipse. Uncle Frank Perry will move to Knoxville and will be a most addition to her citizen¬ ship. Mr. W. S. Bond’s little boy Freddie, seven years old, died Sunday night last of convulsions. He was a bright little fellow and had been sick but a few hours. To the bereaved we ex end con¬ dolence. Judge A. F. Williams dropped ift to see us since his return from Penlield. lie reports that his daughter, Miss Josie, who is now in that place, is in a very feeble condition. People wait until court week, many of them, to bring beef, mutton, pork and such articles to town for sale and because they can’t then dispose of a sufficiency to supply ten thousand people the town is the recipient of tons of abuse. Good folks, people about here eat fifty-two weeks in each year. NO. 63. John A. Miller is dead and in his death Crawford loses a good citizen—loyal and true to a letter; his children, who ioved him without equivocation or any particle of reserve, a kind forbearing and loving father. He leaves them a heritage of which they are proud and which is rather to be chosen than great riches,—a good name. The writer never heard any one Speak harsh¬ ly of him. He was unassuming, modest and the full type of a true gentleman in all his deal¬ ings with his fellowman and all bearings in the different walks of this life. Mr. Miller was provident. His family lacked for nothing that adds to comfort and makes plenty in this life. He promptly met his obligations. His worldy affairs are left in good shape. In his forty-seventh year our friend left us; died in his native county and sleeps in its embrace but a short distance from the place of his birth. Iro Crawford he was born, reared, lived and died -and his people hang this laudable, living, lasting escutch¬ eon about his memory: a great loss, but thanks for the hope of inestimable gain to our compan¬ ion and true friend. He leaves four children and other relatives. His good wife, daughter of the late Howell Ad¬ ams, died about fourteen years ago and awaits his arrival on the other shore. In religeous ma tiers he made no ostensible pretensions; but, from a human standpoint and the general characteristics of his life since known to the writer, the conclusion is that his titles to mansions in the skies are clear— not shadowed by any cloud.
