Never before in the history of the South was amove- more* ethusiastically inagurated. "The idea was hailed with universal ap probation at its announcement, and not a doubter of the feasibility of this colos sal enterprise has bee found among the numerous planters and mauufactnr rs with whom we have since discussed #t. Even at this early day a number of have signified their eag erness to be among its exhibitors, and letters of inquiry concerning it have al ready been received. Although cotton will form the chief exhibit, yet it is pro 4qsed to make its scope universal, so as to include not only everything apper taining to cotton culture and manufac ture. but whatever improved imple ments may l>e necessary for the most approved methods of diversified farm ing—in fact, all inventions, devices and fabrics that may possibly prove of in terest to the people of the South or promote their general industries. The resolution of the convention au thorizing this mammoth exposition pro vides that it shall be held at such city as nni v offer the greatest inducement, and it is a privilege well worth contend irg for. Nearly all the leading cities have had successful expositions, sup port r*d only by local or quasi-local inter ests vid n.-ttrouage, and have found it profitable to invest large sums in such -entrrprijMfs; but this proposed World’s ’'Cotton Exposition will command the di <ect and united support of the entire aeotton producing territory os America. In view* of the vast extent of this terri tory and the commercial importance of -its leading staple, it is a self evident proposition that any city could afford 4o expend ten-fold more in order to se cure such an exposition than upon any tnere local affair. So far as exhibits are 'Concerned, it cannot fail to attract them from the w hole Union, aye from the four quarters of the globe. The tact that it is to be a Centennial Expo sition will likewise give it great and world-wide prominence. It may inter est the public to know that in the year 1704 eight hales of cotton w r ere export ed from this country to England, where ppon arrival, it was condemned as con traband, and seized by order of the Pri vy Council, who held that so large ail amount of cotton could not possibly have been raised in America. Thus 4theyear 1884 will be both an agricultur al and commercial centennial in the his ~tory of cotton. What a contrast be tween the opening and closing year of this cotton century! No enterprise Could be too stupendous to do justice to the celebration of such a centennial.

Herr Janson writes: “When on the morning of the 13th, 1 arrived at Arabi's fortifications the -struggle within the intrenchmeuts was over, and not the least resistance was 2>eing offered. Hundreds of dead and “Wounded covered the ground. As I passed in through one of the fates’ by which the entry is made there l saw’ on vuy left several English foot soldiers who had remained or been left behind 8m order to pick up their iow-coiintry-men. They were paces distant from me. Several fallen likewise lay there along the ramparts. At this moment an English vnan discharged his rifle at one of t hese Egyptians, and a comrade said to him. • Why did you do that? 1 and added. ‘lt was not he who moved, but that mail ’there.’ The first mentioned soldier then look a saber and plunged it in the <1 of the second Arab, who was ly- ing on his stomach. I saw the body move, and the man’s shirt become dy ed with red. The Englishman quietly drew back his sword and said. **l think he has enough.” Almost at the same time soldiers a little further away from meffired several shots-six,seven or eight, 1 can not of course, tell precisely how many—in order to give the quietus to the foe. This incident had caused me to stop, but I was in a hurry and ac cordingly left the spot in order to catch the advanced troops and cavalry. lam certainly not the ouly person \vho was witness of such occurrences. An 'office of the Khedive attached to the staff re lated to me that when he found the En glish killing the wounded he saved sev er a l of the latter. But to establish one fact only of this kind I required what I saw with my own eyes.’’ THE LATENESS OF THE AV TUMN FROST. The progress of the season, judged by the extension of the frost belt south ward, is remarkablyj slow. In October of last year “killing frosts” visited New England as early as the sth of the month, causing great destrifttion of the crops, and on the 6th extended to Vir ginia, North and South Carolina and Ten nessee, wdtli very disastrous effects to tobaco and fruit crops. During the pre sent month, except in the Northwest, no killing "frosts have been reported, and those which have occured fell most ly after the 16th inst., north and west of the Ohio Valley. The ouly very severe frost so far reported this month havP been those of the 19th inst. in Wiscon sin, unless we go further north and into the Western plateau regions. The ex ceptional immunity which the tobacco and cotton growers have enjoved from frost this fail will ao douot enable them, as it will farmers generagy, to make the most of the growing season and considerably enlfe’gelheir crop pro fits. M COURTSHIP FRAUDS. A wealthy widower in Pennsylvania three or four days before the formal en gagement which preceded his second marriage transferred to trustees all his real estate to be held in trust for him self during his life, and sifter his death to be conveyed to his by his first wife. When tnewrust deed wasexeciTOfe it was understood be tween him and hisuntended bride that they were soon tdj become engaged m be married. She knew that he was pflL sessed of a large amount of property/ but at the time of her marriage she was ignorant of the secret transfer that lisid been made. Soon sifter they were married the husband died, when the trust deed, whose effect if valid would have ||en to depriw the widow of her dowe®was brought to light, fefefe spite of thedeed she claimed her sham in the estate and sued the truste“ The of Common Pleas has just de cided in her favor and allows her dow er. It holds that the secret convyan- ( ce made by her suitor during their courtship and “on the eve of his mar riage*with her was a fraud in law upon her just expectations and the conjugal rights which mire about to be acquired by her. ” Aim this, the Court remarks, would be eqiMly so underlie circum stances of whetlAr fraudfewas intended or tlm property was conveyed in good faith.

"—Louisville Courier-Journal. SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR FOR NOVEMBER. Truly we can say each visit of this standard Southern agricultural journal gives increased pleasure. We emphas ize the fact of its being a Southern pub lication. because the prosperous North sustains many valuable agricultural pa pers, and it ;is meet and proper that Southern farmers should not only have a journal devoted to their interests, but should have one that is first-class in eve ry respect. Aside from the fact that its columns, richly laden with informa tion on all subjects connected with agri culture, is inva uableto the progressive farmer, it sliouid be maintained because it is the exponent and representative of farmer. number contains an interesting description of Col. Peters’ Jersey herd and his “Thirty Years’ Experience onaNorth Georgia Stock Farm.” His sB cess demonstrates that such ventures will pay South as well as North and every farmer should read the article. “Green Manuring I’or 1 ’or how to renew a run down farm, is an article alone worth the price of subeription. “Economy in Feeding,” by the Hon. T. J. Moore, of South Carolina; “Plan tation Life in the South,” by Prof. D. C, Harrow 1 of Athens; “The Fence and Stock Laws of Georgia,’’ are only a few of the interesting articles. Dr. Jones’ “Thoughts for ’’ and his two full pages of answers to in quiries are of inestimable value. The publishers have shown enterprise ■alieatl of anything ever attempted in the South—illustrating the lettters of their conrespondents. “J. O. A.,” of Charlotte, N, C., contributes an arti cle on “Hillside Ditching,” and the pub Usher? have made designs to illustrate his methods; Mr Louis Dubore. of Vicksburg, Mississippi, has written another article on “Straw and Fodder Barracks,” and Messrs. Harrison & Cos., had their artist to draw’ sketches to illustrate the cheap ed. And so it is to the ment is the watchword of tTHßmblish ers. VWill tiiey be sustainea? Asa matßr of course.

It will be seen from the list that there are, -in this county, sixty-three men over seventy years old: and that one of them is over a hundred, and an other nearly jlliat. In the few month that we have lived in Monroe, |we have recorded the death of several whose names would have appered in this list if they had lived till now. One of them Mr. Archibald Learv, died while the list was being made, Most of those whose jwimes are printed above are amongßo early settlers of the county, and then- long lives Ifeve been spent in Monroe.
