Mr. Red Fullford, cultivating a
farm on Col. Guyton’s place, sends

shear which is three feet high and

stalk ot fourteen acres. Hurrah for
Red !
An aged and highly respected far
mer from Smith’s district, Mr. Wm,
Bush, told , us on Monday that he
thought crops would fall far short of

petition.
W. B. Jones & Co. have commenc
ed the erection of another large store
house on the corner by the one in
which they are now doing business.
Though their present one is a very
large house, it is inadequate to the
demands of their rapidly increasing
trade.
The union Sabbath school near
Mr. J. B. Jones’, in this county, is
in a flourishing condition. Mr. G.
E. Graham is superintendent, with

Colestina Graham the female Bible
class. The school numbers 35.
Mr. Thomas Blackshear, while out
hunting a few days since, noticed
one of his dogs jump several feet
from the ground and wlvino as if
hurt. He paid but little attention
to the circumstance at the time; but
after going home ho found the dog’s
head badly swollen and guessed lie
must have been snake-bitten at the
time he made the strange leap, The
next day ho went back to search for
his snakeship and found a large rat
tle-snake coiled up at the identical
spot where he hit the dog twenty-four
hours previously.—
"The dog recovered of the bite,
The snake it was that died.”
A Big Mistake.
Somehow the impression got out
on the east side of t he. Oconee that
our representative, lion. II. M.
Burch, was in favor of the movement,
to transfer Laurens to the Middle
circuit. Wo know it was a mistake;
but we took the trouble to ask Mr.
Burch about it in order to convince
everybody else. He authorizes us to
say to the people, through the Post,
that he 1ms personally been opposed
to the movement all the timo, and
now since ho is satisfied that his
constituency are opposed to it, lie
shall do all in his power to prevent
the consummation of the scheme.
Mr. B. was greatly surprised to learn
that such an impression had ever got
out.
A Runaway.
On last Monday afternoon Mr. J.
N. Smith got out of his wagon near
Wolfe’s corner, leaving his little
cloven year old brother to hold his
horse. As soon as Mr. S. loft, the
horse started, and Mr. S. making a
spring at the reins, frightened him,
and caused him to run. He run
down hack of Perry & Co., where
the wagon was overturned and the
hoy jumped out, still holding the
reins. By this time parties had
gathered around and stopped tlio
horse. No damage was dono, but it
was a narrow escape for the little
boy.

Honorable Amende.
[Cochran Euterprmi ]
In our last issue wo recited tlio
jail delivery of Dublin, and in our
closing paragraph we said; “got, office
by regular nomination of the donio
emtio party.” We had no idea of
reflecting on Judge Duncan’s politi
cal or personal conduct; and thought
nothing of tlio little pleasantry which
we indulged in, until a friend point
ed out the possibility of our verhago
being.construed to signify that the
Judge lmd obtained his office other
wise. Far from it are we, as wo too
well know and appreciate the honor
able deportment of Judgo Duncan in
all his walks of life.
It is a little singular that the Itul

From all parts of the country reports
come of the immense sides aud increasing
demand for that deservingly popular Sow
ing Machine, The Old and Reliable "Stan
dard,” the price of which the proprietors
wisely reduced to $80, including alt the
attachments, and at once secured fo- them
a popularity among the people, far beyond
that ever yet attained by any other machine
at any price, the consequence of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced ma
chines, and seeking territory for the "Stan
dard.” Knowing from experience that
with the best goods at the lowest price
they can outsell all other iniieliineH, where
the superior quality and low price is made
know'n. This splendid machine combines
all the improvements. Is far ahead of all
others in beauty and durability of its
work, epse of management, light running
and certainty of operation, Is sensibly
made upon sound principles, with positive
working parts all steel, and can he safely

And sent to any part of tlio country for
examination by the customer before pay

as large a demand for them in tills sod ion
as in others. Fatuities desiring the best
machine manufactured should write direct
to the factory. And enter))'' ling persons
wishing to seize the chance should apply
for so desirable an agency. See advertise-
