Highest temperature 91, (on 3

rainfall, .59.
A very dry month, deficiency about
five inches. Mean temperature about
3 degrees above normal. (In Septem
ber ’84, no rain fell and in Septem
ber ’85, 9.38 fell.) The month has cer
tainly been very favorable for har
vesting the Bummer crops, but very
adverse to fall sowings and especially
to garden orops. The turnip crop is
comparatively a failure and little or
no land has been plowed for fall grain
at the close of the month. (Farmers
should not neglect sowing oats in Oc
tober if at all practicable to do so.)
From indications, now, there will be
very little cotton in the fields after
the 20th October.

Editors Union & Recorder
Having been informed that my name
was on the petition for the commuta
tion of Humphries 1 sentence, I desire
to state that I neither signed my name
to that petition or authorized any
one to do so.
While I am not destitute of feeling
for the unfortunate I regulate my ac
tions by principle rather than emo
tion. And I feel nothing but con
tempt for those who lavish all their
sympathy upon criminals.
Chas. W. Snead.
Meriwether, Sept. 28tli, 1886.
We are indebted to our aecommc da
ting young friend, Mr. Allie Nisbet,
the efficient agent of the Central Rail
road here, for the information that al
though the] cotton season commences
ten days later than last year, the re
ceipts at the railroad have caught up
and indeed “are ahead of t last year to
date.” He also says that receipts last
Saturday were larger than on any
one day in ten or twelve years past,
being *283 bales. On th*e day pre
vious, (Friday,) he received the large
number of 235 bales, which he says
is a heavy receipt for Friday.
Let our readers not fail to read the
advertisement of the veteran shoe and
hat dealer, F. Haug. He is not one
we would suspect of exaggeration,
and what lie says of his stock of boots,
shoes and hats, is enough to attract
the attention of those who are the
hardest to please. As he says, “call
and be convinced.’^

We call the attention of our readers
to a new candidate for public patron
age in the advertisement of W. H.
Hall. Jr., whose store may be found
on Hancock street, next to Clark's
drug store. We shall expect our
young friend to get a fair share of the
trade in his line, if energy and honest
dealing will secure it.

Rev. J. D. Hammond conducted the
prayer meeting at the Methodist

was his last service before taking his
departure for St. Louis. He read and
commented on the last chapter of St.
John, and dwelt earnestly and loving
ly on the central thought, the words
of Jesus to Peter, “Feed my lambs.”
He left on Thursday morning for his
enlarged field of labor carrying with
him the fervent “God bless you” of
our whole community. His noble,
consecrated wife won the devoted love
of all who came under her gentle in
fluence—such a woman is man’s great
est earthly security in life’s work,
whether it be to break the bread of
Life to the multitude, or earn daily
bread in obscurity. With such com
panionship the journey to Heaven
is easy, though it be around the
world, and daily toil sweet. Partings
awaken the tenderest emotions of the
human heart, and the saddest—but the
Christian sees through the mist hap
py reunions on the golden shore.
In another column will be found the
advertisement of L. W. Davidson, who
during his usual summer sojourn at

neglected to make good use of his op
portunity. Read the large and attrac
tive list of new goods he offers to the
public and give him a call before mak
ing your purchases elsewhere.
