EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
On Friday last as we were passing
the door of Mr. J. M. Clark’s store,
we were called in rather hurriedly to
notice the effect of a slight earthquake
shock. As we looked on the shelves
at the bottles which contained
fluids the agitation or washing
from side to side of these fluids
showed plainly that we were having
yet another instalment of the long
continued quakings of mother earth.
The vibrations of the fluids continued
without lessening in violence for sever
al seconds, and though we could not
detect any motion as we stood on the
floor one or two others did feel it. We
came away with the impression that
Mr. Clark has a very delicate seismome
ter of his own in his fluid medicines
and with the further thought that no
doubt many very slight earthquake
jarrings occur which could only be
detected by something like the earth
quake detector to be found in every
drug store. The shock was noticed at
various other places in our city, and
was rather notable for its greater
violence than the majority of our re
cent occasional quakes.
The brick manufactured in this city by
Messrs. Foster <fc McMillan cannot be ex
celled, and they receive many orders from
a distance.

S' A cold wave reached this city Sat-
S urdav, and Sunday and Monday morn-
I ings 'were quite cold, ice being seen
■ both mornings. All vegetation which
1 is liable to be killed by frost is doubt-
1 less dead.
It is now seventy-one days since we
(have had a rain that was of any con
sequence. On Saturday last the
clouds gave some promise of rain, but
a slight sprinkle, not enough to lay
(the dust, was all that came of it.
Whatever else happens there is no pause
in the flight of Time and, rich or poor, we
move steadily forward to the end of Lite’s
journey. In the last eventful hours we
must, willing or not, in our inmost soul,
review the past, and our only comfort will
be found in the good we have done.
To CO NTH ACTORS AND BUILDERS.—We
Iinvite the attention of contractors and
builders to the advertisement in this pa-
Iper of Judge D. B. Sanford and Rev. A. J.
I Beck for sealed proposals for building the
|Baptist church in this city. Bids will be
1 received up to noon on the 23th inst.
Mr. Wm. Williford has a log house
Jon his place in Pulaski county, which
lis now apparently in a perfect state of
[preservation, that was built accor-
ling to traditionary history ninety
[years ago.
The logs are cypress and were
aauled two miles on what is called
truck wagons, the wheels of which
?ere sawed from the trunks of
trees.
On Sunday last, just before the
-lose of the morning service in our
churches, there was a very perceptible
shock of an earthquake. While many
felt the quake and noticed the slight
rattling of the window s, others Avere
[unconscious of it until told of what
lad occurred after the close of the
services. One lady in the Presbv te-
rian church, in which the writer was
seated, was sitting under the stove
bipe and she very coolly and quietly
hrose and moved from under it to
■mother seat near by. No other notice
Tvas taken of the quake, the service
proceeding to a close as if nothing
bad happened. These shakes it
[vould seem are becoming somewhat
monotonous.

“I Dislike to be Dunned”
Is a frequent expression, but the
Rowing lines clipped from an old
erchant’s circular to his trade, give
mie very practical hints that should
j borne in mind by all who enjoy the
•ivileges of credit. Credit is capital
id like all valuable things should be
ell guarded:
[“The above remarks are fequently
ade by our customers who have ac-
unts with us. In reply we would
v it is your fault, not ours. We do
it sell goods to be paid for at any
| u€ T to suit the convenience of the
-Phaser, but for cash or on specified
ne We employ a book-keeper
iose duty it is to collect all accounts
e and to remit for all invoices due
! r ’creditors. One thing should be
nembered, we buy large quantities
ten to thirty days’ time, and the
oices fall due on a certain day. But
r of our customers realize the im-
tance and necessity of prompt col
ions and the annoyance that mer
its have to submit to on account
he delay in the payment of ac-
nts That we may meet all de-
ids made upon us, we must enforce
ic f "ule regarding the collection
1 accounts, and we can make no
ption to the rule. We prefer to
our goods for cash, but we are
Qg to give what we call a reasona-
•redit to those who, when they
)n time, pay promptly.’
