Owing to a large number of our agents
failing to make returns in time, arid to
the tickets not being all sold, the Grand
baffle and Sale is postponed to the
26th of DECEMBER, 1870,
or sooner, if the tickets are all sold —
due notice of which will be given.
The Managing Agents return their
thanks for the liberal patronage bestowed
upon the enterprise, and respectfully so
licit a continuanco of the same for a
short time, to complete the sale of all
the tickets. Let none hesitate to buy
tickets, for this is no New York hum
but only gotten up to dispose of
property, and that by good citizens of
the county. On the day of the raffle,
the whole matter goes into the hands of
the six commissioners selected by ticket
holders, and not interested in the raffle
or in tickets, giving all an equal chance,
though absent, of drawing a prize.
Agents must make returns by the 20th
of December, or four days previous to
the raffle. Respectfully,

The New Bridge. —The contractor.
Mr. Stephen Jones, is rapidly pushing
this important county project to comple
tion. The ponderous frame already
spans the river, and is apparently firm
and strong enough to stand the storms
and floods of many a year. The bridge
will be completed and ready for use in
a week or ten days.
When completed, it must add much
to the wagon trade of our town, and will
be a source of great convenience to our
citizens and the traveling public gener
ally.

with taking off various rich premiums

largest weigh nine pounds. The varie
ties are “Cowhorn,” “Red Top” and
, “Rutabaga.” The Major is hard to beat
in anything he undertakes; but if any
of our readers can beat these turnips,
we’d like to see them do it.

The Agricultural Meeting on
Tuesday, though not as large in num
bers as it should have been, was very
interesting to all present, and we were
glad to see the deep interest manifested
by the solid, substantial citizens of the
county who w r ere present.
The subject for discussion—best mode
of cultivating wheat —elicited many in
teresting reports from some of our best
farmers, and those who were absent
from the meeting are losers of valuable
information.
From the reports of this year’s yield
of wheat, w T e think-the average yield of
Gordon county will reach about sixteen
bushels per acre.
The yield of corn is thought to be
greater than has been known in the
county in ten years.
Singular Tableau of Death in
a Tent.
About three wrecks ago there passed
over Fort Sully a terrible thunderstorm,
and in it old Yellow Hawk, an Indian
Peddler, gave up the ghost. On the
day following the storm a party of men
happened to run upon a little canvas
tent pitched upon the river bank.—
There was no sign of life about it, and
one of the men. out of curiosity, went to
it. aud lifted the canvas door and step
ped in. There, in one end of the tent,
sat Yellow Hawk, erect and rigid as a
statue, with his eyes wide open, undone
hand firmly grasped on a dog’s neck,
and the dog standing on his fore legs,
and partly sitting on his haunches, star
ing wildly in the same direction as his
master; while on the other side of the
dog was the wife of Yellow Hawk, rest
ing upon her elbow on the ground, and
staring in the same direction that the
other occupants of the tent were gazing.
The man was inexpressibly terrified by
the spectacle, and his firsi impulse was
to run ; but there was something so wild
ly strange in their eyes and in the gen
eral expression of their features, that he
was bound to the spot. Not a muscle
of their faces moved, and they held their
positions like statues —thej r were dead !
It is presumed they were killed by
lightning during the storm of the previ
ous night; still there was no evidence
that their death was caused in this man
ner. Their feat ures bore an expression of
intense fear, but there were no signs of
the lightning’s work about them, or
about the tent. They were buried on
the spot where they were found by the
Indians.— iSioiu: City [7o?ro] Times.

Rag Carpets.
We have occasionally noticed express
ions of contempt for rag carpets in ag
ricultural journals. Some ladies have
expressed their scorn of the labor of
making a rag carpet when a good car
pet can be bought for $1.50 per yard;
and even a man has given expression
to the same sentiment. Not long since
we saw a calculation by a man that a
rag carpet made by his wife cost $1.50
per yard. We know a woman—not the
wife of one dependent upon hard toil
for a living, but one who would be pre
sumed a little “too proud” to make rag
carpets. This woman has just comple
ted one that has cost as follows :
Cutting rags $ G 00
Coloring stuff 1 00
Warp 5 00
Weaving 2 25
Total sl7 25
Yards of carpet 35
Cost per yard 49
Carpet worth $1.50 $52 50
Clear profit 35 25
We put the value of the earpet at
$1.50 because it is worth more than any
that could be bought at that price.
Now suppose the good woman had
taken the advice of those writers who
are so disgusted with rag carpets, and
purchased one at $1.40. She would
have been out of pocket $52.50 instead
of $10.25, and befose her rag carpet
will be worn out two store carpets will
be entirely gone, and with them $.05
of money instead of $10.25.
There are not many women who get
money more largely than by making
rag carpets. Thep are better than any
other for kitchen and dining room.—

Terrifying the Turcos. —The fol
lowing story is from a forwarded letter
of a German soldier to his parents at
Stuttgard : “ I must tell you a nice joke
we had. We had been patrolling, four
of us, the whole day in the neighbor
hood of Bar-ie-Duc, and were wet to the
skin. The rain was just commencing
with new vigor when we saw a farm
house in the distance, where we resolv
ed to stand up. The house was desert
ed by the inhabitants, who had carried
away with them all eatables. We,
therefore, took some bread out of our
knapsacks, which, with a jug of fresh
water, we considered a splendid meal.
All at once we heard great noise and
clashing of arms, and about one hun
dred yards from the house we saw some
twelve Turcos approaching. What was
to be done ? Surrender —No ! Run
away? Neither. We were resolved to
defend ourselves to the last. Suddenly
I caught sight of a double bass which
was standing in a corner. I called to
my comrades to fire at the Turcos and
then to attack them with the bayonet.
I myself took hold of the big fiddle and
began to play with might and main,
making the most fearful noise. The
moment the Turcos heard it, they turn
ed, threw away their rifles, and began
to run, my comrades after them, and
took the whole lot of them prisoners.—
The black devils went down on their
knees, pointing, with all signs of horror,
to the house in which the big fiddle was
still being played. I only understood,
from their talking, the word “ lion,”
which showed that the fellows had taken
the noise of the fiddle for the roar of a
lion. We bound them together, and
brought them to Bar-le-Due, and often
afterwards we laughed at this capital
joke.”

The Columbus Enquirer , of yester
day, gives the following account of a
recent shooting scrape in Quitman
county:
The difficulty occurred about three
miles from Georgetown. Mr. Moses
had gone out with the Sheriff to have
a levy made on Mr. James T. Flewellen’s
personal property, under the execution
of Mr. 1). II Boedwin against Mr.
Flewellen. A wagon load of cotton was
levied on, and on the return Mr. Flew
ellen met Mr. Moses and the Sheriff,
and required Mr. Moses to direct tbe
cotton returned. This he refused to do.
Mr. Flewellen then fired one shot at
Mr. Moses while he was in the buggy.
Mr. Moses in attempting to get out of
the buggy fell down, and while down
Mr. Flewellen shot him in the left
shoulder, and fired another shot at him
when about five steps distant, but mis
sed. By the time Mr. Moses had got
twenty steps he succeeded in getting his
pistol and cocking it After waiting a
moment he returned to Mr. Flewellen,
but when about ten steps distant, Mr.
Flewellen stated he had no more ammu
nition, and Mr. Moses refrained from
firing. We learn the Doctor was unable
to extract the ball, and that on the next
day Mr. Flewellen was arrested on a
charge by Mr. Moses, of an assault with
intent to murder, and that he waived a
hearing and gave bond in the sum of
£I,OOO to appear at the Supreme Court,
in November, of Quitman county.

Fox Chase in Springtown.
Mr. Editor: —I am now thirty-one
years old, and 1 have been there and
back many times; 1 have been clean to
the wars and fit and bled and died, but
not until the 22d day of October, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy, was 1 permitted to
participate in what might be called a
No. 1 fox chase. Now i will tell you
all about it: Somebody bought a tame
fox, and brother Jack told me that he
was going to turn it loose that night, on
the hill the other side of cousin Bob's,
1 mean the man what kills Jackey, and
brother Jack told me that 1 might see
the race for nothing, so I put out at full
speed for cousin Bob s, where 1 was met
kindly—my horse put up and me con
ducted to the dining room. Cousin Bob
w'as on tiptoe, waiting for brother Jack,
and before 1 was fully satisfied, I heard
brother Jack hollow, saying, speak to
him boys, and at the same time, old
Brute opened. I sprang to my feet and
cousin Bob and me was soon in our sad
dles. By this time the road was full of
horsemen at full speed. Cousin Bob
and me joined the party; and Mr. Edi
tor, we went at full speed for at least
fifty yards, and you know that such as
that don't do horses no good, but by this
time the dogs had lost it, and to all hu
man appearauces, seemed to care but lit
tle about it any way, but brother Jack
cried at the top of his voice and said
speah to him Cash, and Cash opened.
We then turned and went at full speed
for at least one hundred and fifty yards,
when we was halted by uncle Billy, who
inquired for old King—no one could
tell. There was then a move made to
call the roll, and to our astonishment,
they were all absent without leave but
Cash and Brute- Feet, however, was
close by, interesting himself after a rab
bit. 1 will say that we found cut some
of there whereabouts before I left. King
was in the shuck pen. Fannie was under
the house. By this time I was power
fully excited, but uncle Billy says its all
in getting use to it, and you know he
generally knocks the black out when he
speaks. Now Mr. Editor I will give you
my opinion: I believe we would have
caught the fox. but it hid, for aunt Nan
cy found it under her house that night
killing chickens, three hundred yards
from where it was turned loose.

P. S.—Mr. Editor if you can find me
two horns I would be glad. I want one
name King, the other Cash or Credit,
which ever is most convenient. J. G.
