The. storm commenced early this morn ing, rain fulling in tun-ents, wind eom rmneing in the northeast. but shifting to the South, from which it is now blowing luout fearfully. Many of the shade trees of the city have fallen. Mr. Crane's car penter shop, a huge wooilt-u building, has just fallen. It is now 12 o’clock Friday; Scarcely any rain falling, but the wind is constantly increasing in fury. Another frame house, belonging to Mr. Frank Spain, lias just fallen. These are within sight of our office. We can’t tell what other damages the town has sustained. W a.ro not very timid, but we confess our equilibrium is somewhat disturbed. The paper is ready to go to press. Home very fine Chignon* at 8. Shanda Ta. A new supply of Dixie Turnplowa at John Tilmjt*s. Moat Well. We are happy to announce that CoL P.

Kayton that orgauized the first Democratic dub ever organized in Quitman, and fought with us in the last political campaign, lias returned, and is now opening a large stock of general merchandise at his same old stand. Kay ton will be remembered by his old friends, and they will certainly call to wel come his return. Silk Reps, Black Silks, &c., at reduced prices, at Biiigos, Jelks & Co’s. o “Ye Sainted Buzzard." We have a newly married couple in our town who had a love ripple the second night of their honey-moon. The delighted bride-groom, mingling with his many con gratulating friends, strayed from the bridal chamber and partook so freely of benzine as to destroy his equilibrium, and having lost his centre of gravity, necessarily re mained absent until a late hour of the night, or rather an early hour of the morn ing. When he recovered his lost estate he steered successfully through the sea of sand to the chamber of his neglected and justly indignant bride, still sleepless, and lamp burning, by the light of which her eyes shone with orient brightness, and .whoso cheek blushed with the brilliant hue of the charcoal. After a rebuke com mensurate with the offence had been ad ministered, and the last epithet, (spoken, of course, in love’s tenderness), was ex pended upon the reticent and seemingly penitent husband, he meekly and affec tionately replied: “Hie, close up ye sainted buzzard.’’ And she did, after which they both slept, and the reporter retired. Conte Into Me nil jw Ikttl Promlwd, fur the Time 1. nt Maud. It will be remembered that our pnb- I lislied terms of subscription was cash in advance; but owing to the stringency of the times and the scarcity of money iu the country, aud the great demand for Tun Independent, we were induced to suspend our cash rule during the summer months; but in every iustuu-o with the sia oiul un standing that (Miymeuts were to be made as soon as cotton was sold. We have almost melted with the heat of summer. We have wrestled with the winds and struggled with the waves to give our patrons an interesting and amus ing paper. How far in tlmt our efforts have succeeded, we can only judge by the constantly increasing patronuge. Though struggling for you, we have kept our word. We have worked, and we have waited. Reward our labors in the verifi cation of your promises. Two dollars to you is but a small amount, but three or four hundred such sums aggregated make a considerable amount. If we had failed when you could not help us, we would never have complained; but if you let us fail when you have promised, and can strengthen us, we will not feel very reli giously iucliued towards you. We formed in early life a habit of eating and (thougli we are not us old as we expect to be) we have practiced it too long to abandon it, and the ways of men which are past find ing out, require it to be paid for. And ever since our maker cut and made gar ments for Adam and Eve in the garden before their expulsion, it has been a cus tom to wear clothes, and our wardrobe is getting scant, nnd our merchants, much us we have talked for them, are not able to give them to us, and can’t sell out to any one tlmt cun. Our employees formed the same habits, and practice them now; and they have families who engage in these same indulgences and can’t be prevailed upon to abandon them. These are a part of our expenses and they must be met. >So come up, subscribers, like true men, to the help of The Independent agidust the Radicals, and we will double our energies, strengthen onr sails, cut the wind and ride the waves into a glorious haven of inde pendence. Now, dear patron, don’t think everybody but you will pay and that your two dollars will not be needed. All may think that, and the young and now vigo rous Independent may die from sheer neg lect. If any who receive the Independent feel that it is not worth the subscription price, and is an unwelcome visitor at his house, and will so inform us by letter, we will insert it in our columns, with the as surance that he is no lunger our debtor. o Great attractions for tin- ladies at BttlOOS. -I KI.KS ,v Co's.

The receipts at the depot in this place for the past week are ns follows: Friday, 00 bales; .Saturday, 101; Mon day, 28; Tuesday, 4'*> Wednesday, 70; Thursday, 40. Making a total of 305 bales ; up to Thursday night, the 18th inst. The receipts from the 27th of August to September 18 are 017 bales, exclusive of factory purchases. The price has varied for the last week \ from 111 to 16 cents, according to grade, cash sales. Purchases made on thirty days, wc arc informed, range higher—one eeut per pound over the cash bids. We have no enjiaiyscc ic 90t*vr s t?,;p>etions, but with such an extravagant per cent, we think such purchases must he very precarious, or else the cash purchasers must have a good thing, as the difference is between 70 and 80 per cent, per annum for money, a frightful interest, we think. We hope that the purchasers may save themselves from loss, but above all other considerations, ■no liojie the plautcr may be rewarded for his labor. ... Satin striped and plain Poplins, at reduced prices, at Biuoas, Ji.i.ks A Co’s. Forty Hornes. Just received at the stables of Cecil & Thrasher, forty horses, direct from the blue gross section of Kentucky.

Call at once and procure a horse sound in health nnd reliable in dis position. Deal with men that are always with you, and responsible for all their con tracts. Don’t wait for drivers, who may defraud you and disappear, and from whom you can recover no damages. A few fine Ladies Hats at S. Shandal's. A Splendid Plantation for Sale and m Great Karenin Offered. A plantation near Quitman, containing twelve hundred acres—three hundred acres in cultivation —of excellent soil, with good, clay bottom. Fencing all good; buildings plain but comfortable, with fine water; plenty of water running through the fields. The entire grain crop, with all the stock of every kind, farming uten sels, etc., will be sold with the. plantation if purchaser desires. Terms favorable. For further particulars apply at this office. Ail correspondence addressed to this office, with a view to purchase, will be promptly attended to. The particular man makes more trouble and causes more annoyance and delay than a half dosenfcare leg* people. When he is traveling he puts his ticket in a place so remarkably secure that not only dishonest people cabnot find it but he can’t find it himself. This tends to make him confused in his search and unreliable in his state mens to the conductor, and after working np that worthy to a degree of misery that borders pretty closely on profanity, he either pays his fare over or is put off the train. After he gets home he puts a piece in the local paper which speaks of the road as a “grinding monopoly.’’ There is loud and growing outcry against horse cars in London, which the commis sioner of police declares are ‘ ‘daily becom ing a greater nuisance to the general pub lic,” and it quite probably that street railroads will soon cease to exist, at least in the heart of the city. A Chicago backman went on a week’s . ruxe and left four horses to starve to death. The English ladies, us well as English men, sometimes liit from the shoulder. A Miss Rodman lives near Bristol, and owns | a small piece of ground. Here also resides ! Mr. Frederick Smith, who claims a right of ’ way over Miss Rudmon's ground. The j lady resisted. He attempted to force his way, and put his hand through the bar of the gate to open it. To use his own words ; iu court when the ease was tried: Miss Rndman hit straight out from the shoulder with her clenched fist, and struck me in the face. She repeated this three J times. She also raised her foot, and kicked me more than once in the arm—that was i through the gate—bruising me very muclj and muking me sore for a week. Siio then ; seized my walking stick, wrenched it from : me, and struck me several times on my ! back and shoulders. I never touched her, [ but told her if I was doing wrong she had her remedy. George Alford, farmer, shared no better fate, for he, while assisting Mr. Smith, re ceived “one straight from the shoulder of Miss Rndman, on the month.” "Do you know who you be hitting?’ said the farmer. “Yes," said the lady. “’Twns me,” said the farmer. “I know it,” said Miss Rtul mau; “you have no business here; I'Ugive .You another if you don’t go. Mary, go and fetch my big knobbed stick; I’ll show them whether they have a right here.” They did not wait for the knobbed stick, but retreat ed from the position, and left the Indies victor's iu the field. Germany can bring into service an army of nearly two million men, if necessary, for conquest or defence. QUITMAN MARKET. oouhkcted wkf.ki.y uy CRRKtTI A NKWSOM.
