A Fight v illi a DlaA Fog,
Hi, One day recently; as Sheriff Hartley was
f riding along in his buggy near the Scott
I place in the lower edge of the. county, he
I saw a deg coming towards him that was
f I acting straugely*. Mr. Hartley stopped
his horse aud picked up a pistol which lay
I in-the bottom of the buggy.
I The dog.came straight on and feared up
|j I on the axle, and did his best to reach Mr.
Hanley. Two or three shots wounded the
I Jog and frightened the horse, but the mad
Jog still jumped and snapped at the Sheriff.
After a while-.the dog crawled out of the
Lj road and Mr. Hartley. stopped, his 1 , horse,
[ and went back and finished the,mad canine.
He says-the.dog. never whimpered from
any of the wounds, bat up to the very
last kept,trying to bite.

Our little ville kept house all al-one
Sunday. We have eight families in the
ville, and it so-happened that the last-one,
big, little, old aud young.loft homo last
Sunday—something that may. never occur
again.
Uncle: Thomas Cochran savs-the stock
law don’t work ‘wufa cent’ in his beat,
He put some hogs iu a field, and after so
long a time went down to feed them
so that they might know who they helong
j ed to. He called and heard something
[ like hogs. . Ho" called again and heard
the same noise, so he concluded that as
the hogs did not come he would go down
a little hill ‘(for there are no steep .hills iu
his neighborhood) and when he got some
distance he called again. The hogs arose
from their rest and made an effort to. run,
but would stop and put their noses to the
ground to rest—too poor to climb the
knell, i Uncle Thomas says these arc mel¬
ancholy facts.

Editor Journal: —I bear good reports
from Crawford, and it would appear from
a distance that much good fortune is light
ing down-upon, the dear. old comity. The
railroad having come iDto .the county;
■yery fine crops that cover the fields—-the
increase in business-, the infusion of’
lift> and increase in the value of
add last and best of all, the general awak¬
ening of'religious interest—all seem to
to a more, prosperous era in the history
that county. Well may it come! “It is
Jong lane that never tarns/’’ and Crawford
has been in the background a long time.
As the child loves the parent, so I dove
old Crawford. IVlraii she-is-proapcrous-I
will rejoice. When calamity or adversity
shall settle within her borders, my heart
will feel the pang of sorrow as one of her
children.
Our primary on Saturday resulted in the
nomination of Primus June*far- the
lature-,- which' is equivalent to an election.
We arc all democrats in this county, botli
white and black.
Rust- has struck the cotton throughout
this section, and has cut offiths yield about
one-third. . We have very fine crops of
corn, peas, potatoes and sugar cauc.
Crawford is one of the old counties. It
was laid off in 1822, and Knoxville was
made the couuty site in 1823. There is.
much unwritten history ol the times and
men of that county, ..covering a period
from time, the couuty was laid off to the
breaking out of tbe"war. which would now
be of interest to some of your readers, and
of which I will touch upou in my future
letters,, which you can publish if you like.

feel in duty bound to you as well as to all
sufferers- by rheumatism, to write to you
my experience with the terrible disease,
and the use of-Swift's Specific,
that these words may be beneficial to all
who suffer as I did.
About six weeks ago while at
I was. suddenly attacked with
pains in my-feet/knees-and hands,,
severe was the attack that I took to
bed immediately and in two or three days
my joints were swolen to double their nat¬
ural size and sleep was driven from. me.
After suffering the most excruciating
for a week, using linimeuts and various
other remedies, a friend said: to me:
“Why don’t you get Swift’s Specific and
use it ? I will guarantee a cure, and if it
does not the maditine shall coskyoa nothing
I at once secured the S S S and after
using it the gist-day had a quiet night- and
refreshing sleep. In three weeks I was up?
and able to go about the-room-, and after
using rix bottles I wes out and able to at- 1
tend to business. Since then I have been
regularly at my po3t -of duty, and stand on
my feet from Dine or ten hours a Jay
am ontirily free from pain. These-are
plain and simple facts in my. case, ami I
will cheerfully answer all inquiries relative
thereto, either in person or l>y mail,

come to (the conclusion that all things
were not what they seemed, and it appears
that she was right. When the groom
started for the bride’s room was when the
objections were ppt iu..
The bride’s mother said that they were
not married and sent for the justice to
prove it. It being late he refused to go.
TKe next/ morning the judge pwt.m his
appearance at-tbfe bride’s residence to learn
what was the matter. He soon found out.
The mother of the bride bad learned from
some one that the man that had married
Nancy was- sailing under false-colors and
told thejjuslico so, whereupon heplied-tbfc
groom with questions and la said his name
was Haralson Andersoa "IV-iHidmsi- Wkei e

Last Menday morning a young lady in
Guthbert received a fright which
ly stopped her growth for several years
come. When she arose from bed she. went
to hoist a window sash to admit fresh .air.
Deiiberatly she loosed the- latch with
which it . was fastened down and as deiib¬
eratly hoisted "the sash, but she forgot
-turn/the button which held the. sash in
place when hoisted. Lying on- the win¬
dow sill was a monster snake, five feet in
length and not less than six inches in cir
cumference; The young lady, dropped
thesash,. screamed-a scream that was heard
a half mile, away, ran- back half across the
room, stumbled and fell over a tub of water
and faiuted with dignity,? The.snake was
what .is known as a chicken snake and is
supposed to have crawled on that window
sill in search of an old’ken, but. he
his mistake as soon as the sash raised and
left as much disgusted as the young lady
was frigljtoued.— Cutbbert Liberal.

Perhaps yeu have heard without remark,
Or read in ancient lore,
Ahd ne’er a moment’s thought gave to
Those simple wo! da, “Some n <re - ’.
Just dance a child upon your knee
Till water from each pore
Runs down from off'your face’
And still it says, “Some more”.
The fast; gay-youth;- who flirt withgirls ;
Of high estate and lower!
Is he conteuted with his prey?
Oh; no. he seeks “Some more”
At college-, thougii-he is allowed
In dollars daily-four,
For horses, wines-and suppers late/.
Ho finds lie needs-“Some more”
The banker as he sits-at’ home,.
The merchant in liis store,
Their riches count, yet still they crave •
And strive to make “Sone more”
Aud when they millionai 9 * become
Their passion is not o’er,
They schema aud bargain ‘,on the streets
To “shear the lambs'” Some more ’..
Then Caisar, too, in ages past
Who filled the world with gore,
Though he possessed the earth himself ,
He sighed to conquer more.
The aged mau, bent clown with years;
Or by affliction sore,
Still clings to life and craves-the gift
Of health and days “Some- more”.
And so it is. The oldth'e young,
The wealthy and the poor,
Contentment seldom fills their hearts,
All cry: “Some morefSome more”
