The sweet potato crop of this sec
tion has been a paying one tbe past
RCiison. The demnDd has been great
er than the supply. Hundreds of
bushels have boon shipped to the in
terior, and the cry is, “still more
wanted.” It used to pay to raise
sweet potatoes at twenty-five cents a
bushel, and when a man realized thir
ty-one and a half cents he thought he
was doing extra well. They now sell
at over doable tho latter figure by tbe
quantity.

We cannot bnt regret the destructioD
of tho old ruins, even though a far
finer structure will take their place.”
We heartily agree with onr eotem-

to tear down those walls, of which so

bank, strnok the 'gator on the bead
with a stick, and seeing the yearling,
undertook to drag him ashore and

’Gator took the calf by tbe head and

quieted bim until Mr. Wright could
reload and dispatch bim. That ’gator
was no doubt in senrob of bis first prey,
after coming ont of winter quarters,

Mr. Editor: I read a communication
in your last issue on “That Brick
Yard,” in which it was assorted that
I went to tbe Myers lnnding “between
two snns, like a thief in the night,"
and removed the lumber without Mr.
Geo. C. Myers’ knowledge. I arrived
there at three o’clock p. m., and left
after eight o’clock tho next day. If I
hud gone there between two suns, as
he stated, I didn’t owe hiai anything,
nor he did not, iu any manner,
have any claim on anything
I carried away, and if he, George
C. Myers, understood tho circu in
stances about which he wrote, lie lied
when he said I went “between two
suns," etc. I will not pay any

spoudence, but if be is ugrii

that President Arthar has nominated

been made np and sent on weeks ago.
Why this sudden change we have not
yri learned. Mr. North has served

and our people do pot desire any
change, unless it be to put in >i Dem

could secure tbe signatures of nine-
