Miss Lula Boone, a charming lady from Atlanta, is visiting Lev. K. E. L. Harris rnd wife, and other friends, and will prolong tier visit several weeks. A part of the wagon road that goes from the house of Mr. F.. D. Hadaway towards Mr. S. X. Arne’s, in this ■county, has been changed, and the way is now much better than il was before the change was made. Judge J. W.

Bell & Shipley in Ilar lent. As jet there is no clue to the paily that did the atrocious act. A number of our citizens are fond of fishing. They often go out with bloody designs against the denizens of the “crick ” and return with about three dollars’ worth of experience and .’5 cents worth of fish. The town council did not hold their usual Monday morning reception this week. So we have not heard any we eping aDd wailing and guashiug of teeth, which signs are usually mani¬ fested bv th»se who have been fined. It was reported Monday morning that the rivers were a little full (in consequence of the rains). AVe would advise the rivers not to do any damage when they are “full,” for the county jury may get after them.

She was the daughter of Mr. Adam Ilcrtel, of Powelton, and had been married about live years. By this death a young hus¬ band mourns, and two young chitdre become motherless. We tender our sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends. A Sociable. A sociuhle was given at the residence of Rev. R. E. L.
