Did you have any rain down at Per

had a "lightcrd knot floater,” and wind

all the farmers and the pic-nic. It is '
true the farmers generally were set

were subjected, they determined to
make a slight alteration in the previ

where. Owiug to the above facts the
party was prohibited from “indulging
in the pic-nic on the bauks of the Oc-

the ’ crops.
Colton aud corn are certainly very
promising for this early in the season.
Cotton chopping is about through—the
stand was never better. The area of
this staple is larger than that of last
year. While some planted about two
weeks earlier, otherts put in about the
usual time or later, so the crop will be
neither forward nor late. Gen. Green
took the advantage of his enemy during
the repeated showers and marched his
forces boldly to the front and fortified
them. But our heroes are in the field
fighting gallantly and trenching around
so as to undermine the fortress and bu
ry the General alive with all his forces.
Corn unper the influence of the repeat
ed genial showers is growing rapidly.
Although the area of tbiscerial is about
ten per cent, short of last year, yet the
thorough preparation of the soil and
the quantity of fertilizer used will, with
favorable circumstances, guarantee a
gOod yield ->of this invaluable staple per

TheTarmers'-of/this section sow large

There are many , excellent fields of

Wednesday morning the reading con

When we entered the college hall,
we found it well filled with inter

young ladies, ranging from 12^o aUorifS
17 years of age—all contestants for the
medal. Several of these we did not
hear read, but when the contest had
closed, we concluded that the task im
posed upon the judges was one of ex
ceeding delicacy. All had done so well
that no mere superficial obseryor cquld
decide to whom the prize would'be
awarded. The decision must be made
upon scientific principles;
Professor Johnson called upon the
judges to retire and make up their ver-

W.‘Havis and/D. F.Bfley,. Esq., left
the room for that purpose. During
the absence of the judges, the audience
was treated to some very good vocal and

pupils.
The decision having be'en reached,
the judges re-entered the ball, aud
Judge YY. D. Nottingham stepped for
ward to deliver the prize. Eis short
address to the vouug ladies was in a
most happy style, and was well received
dy all. During his address he stated

Mr. Schilling repaired to the scene of

'soon as.' trjuiy could- be- summoned an
inquest was held. Several witrn

lowing is the substance of the evidence

Several negroes Wefe Boeing cotton

Enoch Walker,the deceased. Early in the
morning Mr. T. F. Jordon, n constable,
went jnto the field where the negroes
were at work, told Enoch Walker that
he (Jordan) had a warrant for liis ar
rest, and ordered him to put his lioe
down and come with h\m-. (Jordan)
EnoelTrefused to b'e arrested, whereup
on Jordan ordered the ether negroes
present to help him arrest Enoch.
They refused to assist in the arrest, bnt
one of them offered to go alter Mr.
Whidby. Jordan ordered Enoch to
put his hoe down, but this he refused
to do, and shortly after the refusal
Jordan shot him with a doabie-bairell-

Dr. J. B. Smith examined the wound,
and found that the shot had entered

verdict after a short consultation:

hands of, Thomas F. Jordan, and th it
