Sales Last Tuesday.
Mr. B. Isler, administrator
upon the estate of John Mansfield,
deceased, opened the day of sales
by putting up lots Nos. 154 and
155 in the Third district contain¬
ing 500 acres, known as the Mans¬
field place. The place was bid
off by Mr. J. A. Thornton for
$1,050. Mr. Isler then put up
part of lot No. 161 in the Third
district and part of lot No. 10 in
the Fourth district, known as the
Gid Mansfield place, containing
140 acres, which was also bid off
by Mr. J. A. Thornton for $400.
Sheriff Davis next took the
stand and made tho following
sales:
Six bales cotton, @4c; 400
bushels corn, @85c; 4,000 pounds
fodder, @40c; 150 gallons syrup,
@16£c; 1 acre sweet potatoes at

and two bales cotton @4c, all to
J. A. Thornton.
Last Monday night about half past
six o’clock fire was discovered in the
second sto;y of tho Thornton House
between the ceiling and the roof. The
alarm was at once given and a crowd
of citizens at once gathered on tho
scene. The bucket brigade soon got
to work and the fire was extinguished.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by rats as no chimney or stove
flue is near where the fire broke out.
Fifteen dollars is the extent of the
damage which is fully covered by in¬
surance. ■

The following from a friend is not
exactly a lumber item, and yet it
may be of use to the lumber trade
as it may open up future possi¬
bilities for a waste of the saw mills?
He says: “A contractor and builder,
being of an investigating turn of
mind', last spring tried the experi¬
ment of mixing a little sawdust with
the meal he fed to his chiokens. He
was so well pleased with the experi¬
ment that ho determined to give up
feeding his hens on corn meal, and
iustead kept filling them up on saw¬
dust... Shortly after he set a hen
with ^thirteen eggs. Last week she
came off with a curious lot of chicks.
Twelve of them had wooden legs,
and the other was a woodpecker.—

mend it because it’s good, T. J. Tin¬
sley k Company, Morgan; Dr. F. P.
Griffin, burg; Henry Leary Turner, ; J. W. Edison. Jones, Williams¬
glanders On Americans.
The thing* that we sometimes see in
the European papers about American
characteristics and their habits and man-
n«ra are really provoking. As a people
and nation we are open targets for the
critics of all the nations of tbe world—
dae, perhaps, to the faot that nearly all
the nations of the world are jealous
of us.
Even in England it is evident that
many are possessed of the idea that the
people of America are only a few de¬
grees removed from savagery. An En
glish newspaper declares, for instance,
that it is characteristic of all Americans
to rest their elbows on the table while
eating, and this shocking habit is the
result of fondness for green corn boiled
on tbe cob. The English paper makes
this atrocious attack upon ns:
“The habit of resting the elbow upon
the table while eating so unquestionably
peouiiar to Americans, is the result of
the quantity of green com which is
consumed annually in the United States.
As this artiele of diet is almost unknown
on the continent, it is necessary to say
that it consist* of an., ear or oob from
whioh the kernels of corn are taken di¬
rectly into tho month witbont the aid
of any mechanical device. As these ears
are of great size—often so large that few
men no woman or child oonid convey
them to the mouth with one band—it
becomes neecessary to support the el¬
bows while holding up the ear. Tlie
table is naturally seloctod as this sup¬
port and from this rises the obnoxious
habit. 'The few Americans who are not
addioted to it are those who eat their
corn by placing the ear upon the tabios
and lowering the mouth to it. But this
method obtains but little because when
two pr more people are eatiug dif¬
ficulties arise.”
