Look TO YOUR CoNTRACTs.-Farmers and
others employing freedmen for the present
year SHOULD not fail to have the proper
papers filed in the Office of the Agent Of
the Freedmen's Bureau, as the same laws are
now in force that contracts were made
under in 1866, and all those persons who
fail to comply with the regulations, and who
assume the responsibility of employing
negroes without having the contract duly
witnessed in the Office the Agent, will most
assuredly render themselves liable to fine
of no uncomfortable amount. Parties
interested are hereby notified that the Agent
for this county, John D. Ussery, Esq is
ready, either in person, or by proxy, at his
Office, in Bolivar, to discharge the RESPONSE
bilities resting upon him. Look to your
contracts, and save trouble in the future.

GUESTS SERVING AS MES1ALs ON Prince
PLE.-An exchange relates the following
incident which occurred recently at the
Greeabriar White Sulphur Springs, Vir-
GINA F
The head steward belonging to tue i'm
mense hotel of the springs, dressed him
self from top to toe, presented himself in
the ball room to dance with the numerous
guests there assembled. The proprietor
i Immediately ordered him out, aud de:
mauded what such conduct meant. The
negro replied, it meant equality, and if
he was not received in the ball room, he
and every other servant in the establish
ment would leave. The lady visitors
heard the circumstance, called on the
proprietor and told him to dismiss every
servant in the house promptly and they
would serve in their places until he could
procure others. He did SO, and ladies
from every part of the South sojourniug
at this justly popular watering place,
went into the kitchen, chambers, laun.
dry, dinipg.room, etc., and filled with
perfect satisfaction every position until
the proprietor went to Charlottesville and
procured other servants. These are un-
blemished facts.

He apparently forgets what we have for
