—The rain on Wednesday and Wednesday

son's dam has washed away since 1870.
Some of our citizens, hearing of the dam be
ing washed away, went over and brought
back a fine chance of fish. The water was
cold, .but I learn the fish was just good
enough, but don't know it to be so.
Galilee Note?.
Why don’t you come out fishing with Dr.
Seale, Mr. editor ?
The river has been very high. The recent
heavy rains came near washing away the
bridge at Thompson's mills ; nothing saved it
but some rock that the neighbors hauled and
put upon it. The water was way up in the
mill house, and ruined several bushels of
meal.
The farmers are doing nothing, waiting for
the ground to get dry.
If you want birds, Phil Lamar can supply
you with all kinds except robins. lie has
the contract to kill all the crows in the
neighborhood.
Eggs arc getting too cheap to eat. Won’t
you take some on subscriptions ?
A young lady in this community remarked

Herald she would never get tired of reading.

on the first Thursday in April next. A full
attendance is requested.
Mulberry Dots.
Another fireside has been called upon to
mourn the loss of one of its brightest jewels.
Miss Phoebe Lyle, daughter of Mr. James
Lyle, died Sunday morning, the 20th inst.
Mr. Robert Wifi to has purchased a cotton
picker, preparatory to the fall campaign. The
machine needs no talking up, as it is fully
able to do its own blowing.
There is a man over this way that wants
half that load of shucks. Will take them,
provided he can get them, and ask no ques
tions.
Some of our good citizens are absent this
week on a courting expedition in the city of
Gainesville.
We have had no Jefferson mail for a week,
in consequence of high waters. Mrs. Linct
um says she had rather be without meal than
the paper, and wants to know if you can’t
get up one of them talking machines and talk
the news across the river when it gets full.
The freshets of last week were the most
destructive that has been for many years.
The extent of the damage to bridges at this
time ; s not fully ascertained. The damage
to farms is incalculable. This is the fourth
time within one month that the fences around
many farms has been entirely swept away.
Many farms are now exposed to the ravages
of hungry stock. Some farmers have been
driven to the necessity of herding the stock
oft’ their wheat and oats. There are farms
on the Mulberry that two hundred pannels of
fence will not replace that washed away dur
ing last week.
Miss Emma Bradbury, of Oconee county,

some severe tassels with felons and hoi Is.
Mr. I). R. Lyle had the misfortune to have
his gin house washed way during the late
treshet. Vande Linctum.
From Maysville.
Glad to see you out again, though some
what disguised under anew name. The
county of Jackson could illy afford to be
without a paper, and no county in the State
ought to be without its organ, no matter how
much grander and more varied music may be
ground out in the cities. And it is the most
distorted ccononfy for any family to dispense
with its county paper. It is the cheapest
school-master the parent can employ. I
might enlarge on this subject, but spare you
and your readers.
Since the burning of the News, several
dwellings have been built in Maysville, and
several families moved in.
Messrs. J. M. Howard & Cos. have built a
larger and much better wood-shop, and arc
ready to put up any sort of a carriage, from
a wheel-barrow to an omnibus, in the best
style.
The supply of commercial fertilizers laid
in by the agents was unusually large, but
proves unequal to the demand.
The Maysville Institute has seventy pupils,
seven or eight boarding, and still they come.
One or two church buildings would com
plete our success as a village ; and there is
some prospect of soon utilizing, for its in
tended purpose, the lumber that has for many
months been on the ground for a Baptist
church. Now and Then.

A NEW KIND OF WATCH CASE.
New because it is only within the last few years
that it has been improved and brought within the
reach of every one ; old in principle because the

as new. Head the following which is only one of

The lending' Scientists of f o-<l;iy agree
that most diseases are caused by disordered Kid

Liver arc kept in perfect order, perfect health will
be the result. This truth has onl) r been known
a short time and for years people suffered great
agony without being able to lind relief. The dis
covery of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
marks anew era in the treatment of these troubles.
Made from a simple tropical leaf of rare value, it
contains just the elements necessary to nourish
and invigorate both of these great 'organs, and
safely restore and keep them in order. It is a
POSITIVE ICcmcdy for all the diseases that
cause pains in the lower part of the benty—for
Torpid Liver—Headaches—Jaundice—Dizziness

difficulties of the Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Or
