Some of, the best : men in the oonuty hare

Ccrtain individuals who know no more
about running a newspaper than they do
about serontuties have predicted that this
paper, will not live a year,because the sub
scription price is only onej dollar/ 1 For
thejr benefit-we -willsey that if the subscrip
tion price',ww-one cent instead of one d»l
tar we could make indecent living with the
paper any way. TBS editor of this paper
knows,what he is doing, if some-people- do
not understand it.
tkrait Changed:*'

time for-holding Superior- court in this

day in Mareh and September to-third
Monday in 'April and October. In'some
respects the change will benefit the peo

D«H’TI,KNIMT!
We sincerely desire that those who have
paid for the paper will not lend it to these
who have not paid -for it; x,It would be
cheating the printer to loan it. If you
think well .of the- paper you will do us a
kindness.to recommend and Shew it to
these who have not seen it. (if any there
are) hut there may be those who expect
to read it every week without paying for
it, and we do not think it fair to let them
have.it free.
Tire- List Growing. -
The first issue--of the /oubnal, and
this one also, could not be made as com
plcfe and interesting as we would have
wished, but we promise to improve the pa¬
per as soon as circumstance?.will admit of
it. Our subscription list; nevertheless, is
.growing steadily, and almost every hour a
new name accompanied with a dollar is
given us. Wo procured seventy names
in less-than an hour while canvassing oDe
day recently.
Hilled With u Hoe. ‘
On yeserday Mrs. Wilson Allen heard
her chickens making a great noise as if
something bad was the matter, and on go¬
ing out sho saw a large hawk catch a hen.
With remarkable presence of mind she
seized a hoc that was convenient, and be¬
fore the hawk could rise with its prey she
ran up and struck it a death blow. It
measured four feet across the wings, Mr.
J. C. Culverhouse iuformed ,us that Mr.
Reviere made a .stew of the hawk
and enjoyed it exceedingly.
This is enough to make the crack shots
about town, ashamed of themselves as
marksmen,, ..
