Hon. H. S. Bell, our extraordinary Ordi nary, killed the fatted gobbler and Invited Bro. Twltty, Ool. Parke, Prot. Qulllian, Miss Janie Wade- worth, and a few other frlende, “one of whom I am which,” to par take ot said gobbler and ita con comitants. The guests arrived about duek and were ushered into tbe beautiful parlor, belors a blaz ing Are, where everything looked bright and cheerful and everybody happy. Half an bour was passed In pleasant conversation, when sup per was announced and all repaired to the dining room, where we met with a cordial welcome from Mrs. Bell and her lovely daughter, Mile Mattie. Soon all were seated at tbe table, eyes dropped, beads bowed down and a blessing invoked in an appropriate manner upon thoie around,'and tbe good tblngi upon the table, after wbiob I raised my longing eyee and surveyed tbe field before me. ‘ Talk about your ■now-clad bills, your cloud capped mountains. They all dwindle into insignificance In comparison with what greeted my eyes, nostrils and appetite on this interesting occasion, Right here, Mr. Editor, yon might insert a row of stars to indicate tbe passage ot an Indefinite space of time—a little oblivion, or some thing of that aert, for I was almost oblivious to everything that oc curred for tbe next half hour, oan just remember bearing the rat tling of tbe dishea, the knives, and forks, and the low bnm of voices, as theugh in tho dim distance, and seeing tbe long slices ol turkey and other good things too numerous to meution saillug round and baiting before me, and I occasionally felt something like a current of elec, tricity run through mo “from tip to tip” as Miss Mattio touched me on the shoulder to attract my at tention to something she was hand lng round. I remember some men leaving tbe table and others com lng In and taking tbolr places, and was forcibly reminded of the sent! ment in the “Song of tbe Brook”— “lira may eome and men may go. Bat Til eai oa.forsver, ever, I’ll eat on forever, ever, I'll eat on forever!" But I will not further tantalize you and your readers who were to unfortunate *z to mlti this bappy termination of Thanksgiving day. Tbis supper was prepared entirely by Mrs. Bell, without tbe aid of a domestic, and was therefore better and more heartily relished by tbe guests.

Wrbstib County, Nov. 39.— Two good rains have fallen in this oounty recently, and tbe land Is now in order for sowing grain. Tbe cotton crop is gathered and nearly all told, and but few farm ers bare made “enough to,, do them.” The corn and bog preps are very good, and although we will bare no money after paying onr debts, we will be all right for living another year. The A. P. & L. road is nearly all graded to thf* point, and ltnda In this section are rapidly advanc ing In price. About every third man in this county wants an office, or a guano agency, on the new .railroad. .W^ have one Hogg in our county who is a candidate for Sheriff, and we beard a man say he was going to vote for him, for be was fpnd of pork, and he thought alto that it would take a stout Hogg to root out some things about' here.

Pay The Preachers. Brother Underwood takes'time to remark in the Camilla' Clarion as follows on tbe doty of the pub lic toward preaobers: * - v Tbe people o) Leesburg set > a good example. Whenever a minf ister has to leave hbi family, bis studies or his business to asaist at tbe funerals'of their dead, they, give him a tee or present. Tbit is right. A minister's tlm* is bli living and, that- of <bi*.family;; When his servioes are required, hie, family should be remembered. Sometimes even at marriages' tbe minister has to go borne without a cent. Tbe young msn will pay the ordinary a dollar and a ball for signing a license, which only takes a few minutes. That it right. The ordinary has to live. Yet that same young man WiU have the minister to ride miles or,consume a whole day to serve- him, and not even thank him. He ■ thinks it li the minister’* business to ride about and marry folks for nothing. The scheme ol Representative Addcrton, of Sumter oounty, tore- fund the State debt of Gcorgis, which wilt fall due in 1195 and 1888, in 5 per cent, bonds, If adopted, will save tbe Stale, tt is estimated, tbe sum of $57,300 an nually on the Interest account. An exchange asks, “Why not fond tbe debt in 4 per cent, bends and save $93,063 interest annually?” It is to be presumed that tbe General Alterably will provide for the fund ing at the lowest rate of interest at, which tbe loan can bo plated at par. If tbe money ctn. ’jN bod at 4 per cent., the bonds ought not .to bear more than 4 per cent, interest. It Is to be presumed the General Aesembly will be fully posted,,se as to make nomletake when it takes final aellon on the bill. It would not profit tbe State anything or help ita credit any to leaua a 4 per cent, bond wbtob would bare to. b* ■old at a discount, making tbe real interest 5 per' cent.
