Misses Lula and Lena Anderson of Pleasant Valley, spent one day last week visiting Miss IfiiJa Payne. Dr Lee Bond and Walter M Har ris were in Gilmer county last week buying cattle. There seems to be a greater demand for cattle now than anything else, and buyers more nu merous than ever before. J D Harris, N W Payne and oth ers of our town were in Dalton last week on business. We have failed to receive our mail for the last two days on account of high waters intervening between us and Dalton, We wish there was some way of overcoming these ob stacles which sometimes cause much inconvenience by seperating us from the outer world. Several traveling men have been here recently, one of whom says Murray is the best county m the state, and another says he never bo. fore met so many good people, noj saw so many pretty girls in the same length of time as lie has since he has been in Murray. Hurrah! for old Murray, witli its good people, pretty girls, and every thing else which combines to make it the dearest spot in the world to Sport.
