A sad eyed man was heard to remark yesterday morning: “The melancholy days have come, The saddest of the year, And it takes a pound of cotton To buy a glass of beer.” No man or woman can world enjoy life or ac- complish muech in this while suffer¬ ing from a torpid liver.

Our clever little Cobler says he is now saving people’s “soles.” Where God forgives, he gives. Where he forgives siu, he gives eternal life. Our handsome new academy is not Short on anything—not even pupils. “Mind yottr own business—or employ a typewriter,” is the latest business motto.

September failures have thus far been extremely light. The liabilities of fail- ing manufacturers, according to Dun’s Review, during the first two weeks of September, amounted to only $904,178, against $4,246,14.8 in the corresponding weeks of last year. Some men make their hearts refriger¬ ators, as it were; and no warmth of love around them takes away the inward chill, and that chill, little by little, takes all the warmth out of their own love. Oh, if these soul-refrigerators might only and always be seen and shunned, before we form alliance with them! This whole pitiful business of trying to make things that are unequal in nature and commerce equal by law, and of giving encouragement to politicians to rant about it, when the known result is to delude large numbers of people, put the currency in peril and paralyze busi¬ ness, should receive no countenance from persons of intelligence and respon¬ sibility.—Exchange. A certain young lady of Morgan told me that she knew a certain young man, not a 1,000 miles from Morgan, who, when retiring at night, would place matches and lamp on a table near the bed, place his heavy walking cane and a double-barrel shot gun on the other side and put his revolver under his pillow. Nothing was said about how tight tbe windows and door were fastened. Experience Account Is again turned to and another entry made by several of Morgan’s merchants and a few private citizens were also “touched” by a “slick duck” who has just made his departure “by the light of the moon.” It will bo remembered by nearly all of Morgan peo¬ ple that J. L. Willis, the painter, who came here several weeks ago and formed a copartnership with Mr. N. L. Mathis, and advertised and boomed his busi¬ ness, and has been doing odd jobs ever since he came. He secured board with Miss Sallie Riley, and, when ho left, he owed for two month’s board. Willis seemed to be a “slick artist” all round as he bought a bicycle from Marshal Richardson and gave a mortgage on it as security, and before his departure he sold the wheel and now there is a warrant against him for cheating ancl swindling. When last seen he was headed toward Dawson. County Court. Our county court met Monday morn¬ ing, Judge Keel presiding for the first time, but from the quick way in which the business was transacted you would have thought he was a veteran. The case of the State vs. Ed Andrews charged with a fondness for a pistol was found not guilty. Case of Edmond Brown, assault and battery, was settled by the court. He had whipped one of his children most too hard. Goodson and his sister charged with an assault and battery on J. M. Gore was found guilty and given $5 and costs or six months on the chain gang, the former being paid by Mr. C. J. Davis. Aster the business of the court was over Judge Keel commenced to inves i gate as to costs collected and how much should be charged in each case, saying that he had not beard a case tried in full for ten years and he wanted to lamilliar- izo himself with the cost question, a source of much trouble and a great deal of talk. We hope that Judge Keel will hold out as he began and you will hear no more trouble about the courts. Take Notice. We received a letter last Monday from Mrs, J. F.
