H. Bass’ 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. Fresh-Tennessee Sausage at 18 2t] W. H. Bass’.

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. Notice to Contractors & Builders.
