and heard quite a racket in the woods

such a clatter, a large hawk in the D 10 I 0O31)V
close embrace of a seven feet black
snake was discovered. The hawk had
attempted is carry off the snake and
the snake objecting to any such pro

fight by tapping the hawk over the

It prompts us to raise our thoughts

art in Heaven.
It tells us that we must reverence

Thy name.
It breathes the saints’ reward—Thy

And a submissive, obedient spirit-

And last of all, an adoring spirit—
For thine is the kingdom, and the

Gen. Grant lunched under one of
the big trees in the Yosemite the oth
er day. The tree has borne his name
since the WRIT The nearest of the
giants is nanted. "Andy Johnson."—
The guide told Grant a story of Judge
Jackson of Georgia, who a few years
ago visited the trees. Having spread
his cloth under Gen. Grant, Judge
Jackson had put the first morsel in
his mouth when some one happened
to mention the name of the tree. The
unreconstructed Judge at once arose,
took up his dishes, his (loth and his
basket and moved over to Andy John-
son, in the shadow of which he dined.
The Dublin Gazette says: "O ie o
the most remarkable incidents of true
tenacity was verified in a red fox
chase in Johnson county last week.—
The chase lasted eight or ten hours,
and every dog was completely exhaus
ted but one, and lie held on until both
he and the fox were run down, when
they positively laid down close to
each other, and every time the fox
would move or attempt to get up, the
dog would move toward it, but he
could not quite get hold of Reynard,
who, by the assistance of thre hunters,
was captured."

HOOPS OFF AND BOTTOM OUT
Gainesville Southron: "The Clem
ent attachment is creating wild cx-
citement among cotton men of the
South. The idea of saving all the ex
pense of packing, tolling, hauling,
loss in weight, freight, commission,
tare, insurance, storage, stealing and
various other little items from the
time it leaves the patch until it re
turns from New England, with the
jobbers and middle men’s profits all
tackled on, is sufficient to create some
excitement. Any sensible man can
see at a glance the advantages to be
gained by this contrivance, and will
avail himself of its benefits rather than
borrow money at 8 per cent, when he
saves 25 by its advantages over all
competition from abroad. In less
than twelve month's there will be not
only one in operation in this city, but
several in the county, no doubt. Our
townsman Major Finger, made a trip
to examine into the merits of one in
operation in South Carolina, and re
turned fuly convinced that it was
the best investment that could be
made, and he ia a practical man who
does not enthuse over trifles."
The largest cotton crop gathered in
Texas in one year, before the war,
was 200,000 bales. The crop this year
will reach one million bales, and the
increase is due to white labor, as the
emigration to that State since the war
has not included any negroes. The
total cotton crop of this is estimated
at 5,000,000 bales, and it is claimed
that more than half of it is the pro
duction of white labor.
The Twenty-Second Annual Course of
Lectures will commence October 15th, 1879
and close March 4th. 1870.

Hawkinsville Dispatch: Several of
our exchanges have announced that
“nearly all the business portion of
Hawkinsville was destroyed by fire
last week." Let’s see now far they
miss the mark. We have still about
fitly mercantile establisments—most
of them first-class, and filled to almost
overflowing with all kinds of goods.
In addition to these we still have in
operation two large warehouses, one
rock and the other brick. The finest
buildings of the city were not even
scorched. It is true that the fire
burned out quite a gap in the busi
ness portion of the city, but a strang
er coming in would hardly discover
it unless the burnt district was spec
ially pointed out to him. One large
brick warehouse and two fine brick
buildings lack a great deal of being
“nearly all the business portion of
Hawkinsville.” Pull down your
sights, gentlemen, and “neither pre
varicate nor exaggerate." Hanged
if we can stand fire and everything
elite too.
