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. Sam’l. A. Cook.

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.’^ Council Proceedings. Council Chamber, ) Oct. 2d, 1886.) Called Meeting. Present his Hon. S. Walker, Mayor, Aid. Carr, Whilden, Case and Hendrix.

D. Hammond conducted the prayer meeting at the Methodist church last Wednesday evening. This 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.

Davidson, who during his usual summer sojourn at the North, has had ample time to pick and cull among the manufactu rers there the very best goods in his line for his customers here.
