McKinney is sick of fever. —The Harmony Grove cats are still dying. —The farmers have gone to work in earn cst. —Cotton is still coining in, and finds ready sale. —Mr. C. W. Ilood reached home last Thursday. —Last Monday was a lively day for the guano agents. —A good stall-fed beef would sell here like hot cakes. —Mrs. Jane Doster, of Jefferson, is visit ing relatives here. Lsqr. Z. W. Uood joined a couple in holy wedlock last Sunday. —Mayor Beusse, of Athens, was in the Grove Wednesday evening. —Mr. Joshua Wood, an aged citizen of Banks county, is very sick. I he road from this place to Oconee river was worked out last Tuesday. Mr. James C. Campbell is making some improvements on his dwelling. Mrs. Little, of Franklin county, was in the village last Monday and Tuesday. —Mr. Long, of Saulsbury, X. C., special agent P. O. Dep't, was here last Monday. Harmony Grove-will soon have anew Post Office, with lock boxes for its patrons. Ihe recent heavy rains have damaged lands considerably where it was freshly plowed. Col. J. W. Hill, who has been quite sick at Dr. Deadwyler’s, is getting better, and is now able to sit up. —Some of the Apple Valley boys killed a large snake and hung it up last week just before the big rain. Mr. W. J. 1 horn ton, mail carrier from this place to Jefferson, camped over about Apple \ alley last Thursday night. Mr. J. 11. Butler, who has been confined to his room at Dr. Deadwyler’s, is up again, and will leave for Alabama next week. —lt is said that the word “ Hell” is left out of the new translation of the New Testa ment, and hereafter it must be called some thing else. —A lady not long since instructed anew cook to put an egg in the coffee to make it settle. The cook put the egg in with shell on, and settled the c^or. DO —The guano agents can't keep a supply of the good stuff on hand, but if all the gu ano gets here that has been shipped no fartn ci need not be uneasy—he can be supplied. —A horse, belonging to Mr. J. F. Gordon, of Banks county, took fright near the depot on \\ ednesday and demolished a one-horse wagon. The driver came out with a sprained elbow. —lt is bad when a man rides 10 miles and has to swim a creek to buy a setting of geese eggs, and gets disappointed. This is exactly the trouble one of our young men waded into last week. 1 he late Grand Jury in Madison county resolved that, whereas, nevertheless, notwith standing, they would enter a solemn protest to having their county thrown into the Wes tern Circuit. —I hear a great deal of complaint among farmers about getting laborers that will stand square up when they make contracts. When one gets to taking on fat, and begins to look greasy, he is certain to get saucy, and oil' he goes for anew home. —lf there arc any feather beds for sale by anybody, if they will carry them to the sale on the 28th inst., they can dispose of them,' if two-thirds of the people who were at the Williamson place last Thursday hav'n't changed their minds. —The rain on Wednesday and Wednesday night produced a freshet which old citizens say was equal to that of 1840. Mr. S. W. Jackson’s mill dam was broken on Saturday morning. This is the third time Mr. Jack 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 that if all her papers were as good as the Herald she would never get tired of reading. Rev. Mr. Ratcliff, an able minister from Kentucky, will preach at Galilee on the fourth Saturday and Sunday in March. March 19th, 1881. EL Notice! Grangers. There will be a meeting of Planters’ Grange 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, is visiting relatives in the neighborhood. We always welcome such pleasant, genial and intelligent visitors, and hope her stay will prove so pleasant that she will come oftener and remain longer. If }-ou want to know how badly Job was afllicted, just ask Mr. Hugh Seymour. He is having some experience in that line, and 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.

BLACIvSTOCK & GOLD, March 2 1881. Contractors. The Montezuma Weekly says it was in por tions of Dooly and Macon counties last week where the farmers were still picking cotton. It wonders if last year's crop never will be itm 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 first invention was made and the first taken out nearly twenty years ago, and cases made at that time and worn ever since, are nearly as good as new.

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.
