BCUr „t this place on Tbutaday next

In addition to the important matters be
fore its body for consideration and action,
learn that they, as well as those who
have not the pass-word, will be addressed
by Col. Wra. II. Chambers, Master of the
State Grange, a gentleman well known to
most of our people, a practical farmer,
bard thinker and a good speaker.
Col. A. K. Calhoun, edifor and proprie-
or of this paper, bos, we learn, consent
ed to address our people. Hearsay gives
i Colonel an eloquent tongue aod a wise
head. Wo hope our people will make the
casion a gala day. The ladies are espe
cially invited to attend.
Mayor's t’ourt.
Miss Nettio Dawson, col’d—and very
colored—was brought up on the
charge of displaying her dubious charms
Railroad after dark—all of which,
bein'’ contrary to the ordinances made
and provided, she went to the calaboose
a default of one dollar and cost.
Marshal llrooks says if tbo girl above
bad not been so black as to make the
night -visible, be would not have seeu
her. _. r _
If you have never before thought how
many reodors an advertisement in this
