Paris. Mr. Editor:—l never saw cotton open taster, nor hands more industriously at work gathering it; I never saw our girls dress neater or look sweeter; I never saw our boys look more toav and sober; 1 never saw the old folk look more hap py. Our whole community is waiting oil tiptoe to see what girl will have her hair shingled next. Our merchants had better not. lay in a big stock of rombs and hair-pins this fall. Something is in the wind. I am told that when Elizabeth Cady Stanton re turns from Europe, calico will drop to line cent a yard. 1 heard a married lady, who thinks st. Paul was rather too hard on the wo men, say that her daughter should not marry a fellow named Paul; but, after a moment, she added, unless he be a young lawyer and live in Newnan. Speaking of lawyers, reminds me of a touching scene at Judge Walthall’s Court last Saturday. The case was Amanda Montgomery vs. Wash Pinson, .Jr., for the hire of ’Mandv’s girl. Ev ery one thought Amanda had an easy rase until four sons of Hlackstone came from Newnan and began to investigate t lie matter—Cols. Hall and Farmer for plaintiff, and Cols. Willcoxon and Barnes for defendant. As a matter of course, the evidence was conflicting, viewed from both sides, which gave the lawyers a good chance to get up a boom on “presumption;” and in this case Col. I hill captured the battery. The first speaker was Col. Farmer, who, after a few preliminary remarks, made amath- ernatical calculation and showed how i lie lit igants stood, in a business way. Then his eloquence began to flow like t lie gentle zephyrs that fan the daisies and the daffodils on a sensuous sum mer’s afternoon, flaunting their crimp ed and fluted faces to the ardent gaze of the sun, and all that sort of thing. The Colonel made a very sympathetic speech. His client was bathed in tears and threatened with sub-corset convul- Tliere was not a dry eye in the * Court-house, not even excepting this icctator. The next speaker was Col. ’illcoxon. His logic cut like a thou sand Sheffields in a dissecting room. He showed that he was master of the law on contracts; but he figuratively went to pieces on fern. sole. The next speaker was Col. Ilarnes, tvho made a line speech, and some good points. The Colonel is very much opposed to “presumptive evidence.” The last speaker was Col. Hall, who, as an ora tor, has no superior in this county. The ('olonel is a fine debater. His speech' covered the whole matter. I am not able to say who is right; but Hall’s speech caused the Judge to “presume” that it was justice for Wash Pinson to pay Mrs. Montgomery for the hire of her girl. Col. Barnes took an appeal, and he “presumes” that the big Judge will think differently. It is the opinion of the people in the country that this lit ter of lawyers is the best Newman ever raised. Messrs. Hays and Brock took a trip to Palmetto after their wives last Sat urday. Sickness is subsiding on White Oak Dr. Urquhart’s took a French night. With good wishes for The Herald am) Advertiser, I am yours truly, Sept. 12th. IIulda Tucker. rt’s chain-gang hands furlough last Saturday Sharpsburgv Mr. Editor:—Rev. V. A.

B. C. Sept. 12th. Roscoe. Editor:—The reunion of the stu nt Roscoe Academy last I riday was one of the most enjoyable ions of the season. The children, ially, enjoyed themselves. Every- passed off pleasantly and every- went away delighted, and yet re- tl that the time had passed away >idly. , . . s Laura Bevis, a charming society of Franklin, Ga., has been on a o the family of Mr. J. W. Sewell, fully persuaded that she caput at- e hearts of many of our young and we hope, for their sakes, that ill soon repeat her visit, n is very much needed in this sec- to bring up turnips, f. J.

Editor:—I am not accustomed to 'vntinjj for the newspapers, but con cluded I would give you a few dots irom this corner of the county—pro vided you will correct all errors in spelling, punctuation, etc. We, in this section of the county, are enjoying reasonably good health, for which we try to be as thankful as our grumbling disposition will permit, I reckon we are about as highly favored as most any broken country, and would confplain as little as others* were it not for the mosquitoes, fleas and shortness of the cotton crop. The July rains came early and late and gave the cot ton a mighty good start. Everybody up here thought they would make booming crops; but alas!—“the best laid plans of mice and men aft gang aglee!” But I started out to tell you about a select barbecue our good people en joyed a few days ago. It was gotten up and pushed to success by two of our most worthy and enterprising young men, Messrs. R. G. and F. Z. Mixon, sons of our esteemed Representative, Hon. J. C. Mixon. They were assisted by Mr. Wm. Jackson, wno rendered ex cellent service in arranging for the en tertainment. To give in detail what was there, and how well it was fixed up, would require a more facile pen than mine. If the tables did not groom under the burden of good things with which they were laden, I’m sure the genial voluptuaries who partook thereof did before the feast was over. I wished for “Ripples.” and feel assured lie would have had cause for felicitation a month hence could he have been there. But I have written enough for this time. I may contribute another arti cle hereafter, in which I will attempt a description of this section of the county—our resources, capabilities, etc. Hoping you will get 10,000 subscribers for your excellent paper, I am, certain ly, Jesso. Sept. 13th. Cooksville. Mr. Editor:—The fleecy staple is en gaging the time and attention of our farmers just now, and everybody is busy. There was a meeting at the Cooks ville Academiy last Saturday for the purpose of organizing a Farmers’ Alli ance club. AVe were not present, but understand organization was effected with nine members. Other accessions are expected at the next meeting. The nealtli of our community is good, so far as we know, with few exceptions. Mrs. J. B. Ware is suffering with hay fever. A Sabbath-school lias been organized at Cooksville, with forty-two members. Our literary school is holding up well, for the season. New stores, new goods, and new mer chants everywhere ! Everybody can dress up now and cliew tobacco and spit as much as they want to. Mr. J. W. Walker, an enterprising young man, has opened out a nice stock of goods at St. Cloud. The trading public will find John to be clever, polite and accommodating. Mr. T. F. Pruitt has opened a new store at Cooksville. Tom will keep everything in the way of dry goods, groceries, etc., that might reasonably be looked for in a first-class country store. Dr. Greer keeps the honied donkey moving; but the Doctor doesn’t forget to have singing at Cooksville every Sab bath evening. Wish “Ripples” would come over and give us an appointment. Can promise him a large congregation. AVe understand Mr. J. I. Miller, of Corinth, is paying 10c. for cotton. Mr. C. F. Bruce has invested in a new buggy, and there is a suspicious gleam in his eye that may mean much or it may mean nothing. At any rate, he makes frequent pilgrimages on Sunday and by night, and we shall not be sur prised at any time to hear that he has prevailed on some clever girl to share his fortunes.

But will stop long enough to give a few pointers on DRY GOODS, SHOES AND CLOTHING—not many—just enough to worry the boys and set the pub lic to thinking. Some of mv remarks may fall with a dull, sickening thud upon the ear of my competitors; but I have abandoned all hope of getting rich in one brief season,'and am determined to put my goods down and be content hereafter with a reasonable profit instead of trying to “make it all” between September, and May.
