Bat the people of tho country were so busy gathering tlwir crops, and our merchants so busy Htlling goods, making their re mittances, etc., that he found it impossi ble to get up a respectable audience, and so abandi ned ti e idea of speaking. I think it quite unnecessary for our candi dates to speak in Terrell. We aro all right here, from principle, irem interest, from reason, and from imtinct. The op position to the organized democracy in this coun'y is so small that it can scarce ly be neon with tho natural eye. There are a few republican-struck negroes who will vote for anybody or anything rath* r than a good, honest democrat. And I must admit that tlrero aro a very few per- cons in our midst worse than the above- such men, for instance, as voted for Tom Hearn for tiio legislature, in our last elec tion. But such people will exist iu all communities, aud there's no help for it! No one has ever yet found a cure for their idiosyncrasies.

Last Monday night there was a cotton picking on the place of Mr. James Searcy, in which a negro named Horace Monroe cut three other negroes, Beverly Howard, Kugcnc Tliwcntt and Willis Thweutt. Tho negroes swore vengeance on bun. On Tuesday morning Monroe, who is the engineer ol Searcy's gin, made up bis fire early in the engine, and bad set the steam guugo to watch. As ho was doing so lie was startled by the report of gun, and immediately sank lo the ground pierced by a load ot number ono duck shot. Ho lay as f dead. When tbo neighbors came he was in a dangerous con dition, and was taken care of. In his agony lie made signs to them to see to the steam guage, which was open. To the horror of the crowd it stood at one hundred,and would have blown the whole sur roundings to atoms in a few mo ments. The negro was cared for, and is in a dangreous condition.

A Trial or Skill Between nn Editor ami u Farmer. ‘•Seems to me you have nothin’ to do,” said a farmer, walking into the sanctum of the editor the other day. “Well, I have worked on a farm a go-.d deal in my life, and I re gard editing a so-called bumorons paper as harder work than plowing corn," the editor replied. “Oh, shucks I” said the farmer, “if 1 didn't have nothin’ to do but sit around and write a little and shear a good deal, I tell ye I’d bo bavin’ a migbty easy time.” “I’ll tell yon what I’ll do," said the editor. "I’ll plow corn a day for you if you’ll write two eolumns to-day for me.” “Done,” cried tbe farmer. “And I’ll bet you $10 you can’t write two columns to-day.” “Done again. An’I'll bet you $10 more you can’t plow as much as you orter." “I take you,” the editor replied. "What am 1 to write aboutF” “Oh, anything, so it’s funny. Remember now, Mr. Farmer, you must be strictly original.” “Never mind Mr. Editor. But look ye. You have got ter do a good job of corn plowing. Do it jest like 1 would.” “All right.” Tbe editor went to the farm and set a good hand whom be had hired on tbo way at work plowing corn. Tbo farmer wroto a headline whiob read: “Killin’ Tater Bugs,” be fore tbe editor was out of bearing. In the evening tho editor came into his sanctum blithe and cheer ful. Tbe farmer Bat at the desk, vexed and worried into anger. “How do you feel?” asked tbe editor. “Used up. Hardest day’s work I ever done, an’two lines ter show for it.” Suro enough, be was but one line beyond the bead, That line read: “Killin’ tatet* hugs is funny.” “Then I’ve won tbe wager.” “Yes, but I reckon I've won tbe other ’un.” "No, sir, I have won both. I have plowed Bcvcral acres of corn, and dune it well, and I’ve written my two columns besides." “Creation I How’d ye do it?” “Just like you would. I hired a man to do the plowing, and I sat in the shade, but I wrote while I sat there, and did not sleep as you do. Fork over the twenty.” The farmer paid twenty dollars for the informalion. But tho leason was well learned and as he went be said : “Stranger, I wouldn’t be an editor if I could. It looks mighty easy, but, by Jerusalem, it ain’t ncur so easy as sittin’ in the •hades an' watcliin’ tber hands plowin’corn. I’m a fool, an’yer kin say so in ycr next papei, if yer want to.’ And tbatiswby we write it The Through Mail. A Solace to the Election Excitement.
