The Methodist Centenary collection now
foots up over s., $780, 900, and it is not all
yet. 1t will probably reach 100000
OF this sum Daniel Drew, Of N. York,
gave 100000; Mr.. Baldwin, Of Ohio,
100000; Mr.. Rich, Of Boston $4,000,
and many others from SIC, 900, to $780,

We are very sorry indeed to record the
fact that VIM. G Brownlow, Governor
Of Tennessee, was born in this country.
We know that this county has produced
many good men, but Brown{ow is never
counted among that number Wythevile

No Longer Disguise the Fact!!
"Dro,oning men wiW grab at Straos!"

"Drowni,g men aoiW grab at Stra,cs :"
The great reductions of Hirsh & Leob were
at first denied, afterwards followed all con-
ceivable fallacious reasons, why they could
sell cheaper, &C., until now the people, carry
ing the prices in their eye from store to store,
are convinced, and, as matter Of course
purchase where it is the cheapest.
In addition to our large stock Of JEWELRY
and FANCY NOTIONS,
"We've Boots and Shoes of every size,
For gentlemen and ladies,
Coarse Brogans, and Ladies' Ties,
And little Shoes for Babies.
We've ladies' Hats, red, white and blue,
And boys. gray, green and black,
For men, we've every grade and hue,
Exchangeable for Greenback."

Wednesday, Mornlng,...Jan 30, 1867.
The following, which appeared some time
nee in the New Orleans ssDelta," seems to
5 exquisitely touching and beautiful:
Emmy.
I told him, Christmas morning,
As he sat upon my knee,
Holding fast his little stockings,
Stuffed as full as full could be-
And attentive listening to me,
With'a face demure and mild,
That..old Santa Claus, who filed them,
Did not love naughty child
''But we'll be good, won't we mothsrs"
And from off my lap he slid,
Digging deep among the goodies,
In his crimson stockings hid,
While turned me to my table,
Where a tempting goblet stood,
trimming high with dainty egg-nogg.
Sent me by neighbor good.
But the kitten, there before me.
With his white paw, nothing 10th,
Sat, by way of entertainment,
Tapping off the shining froth;
And in not the gentlest humor,
At the loss of such treat,
confess, rather rudely,
Thrust him out into the street.
Then how Benny's blue eyes kindlsd!
Gathering up the precious store,
lie had busily been pouring,
In his tiny..pinafore;
With generous look that shamed me,
sprang he from the carpet bright.
Showing, BY his mien indignant.
All baby's sense Of right.
ssCome back, Harney" called no loudly,
AS be held his apron white,
lyon shall have my candy wabbit!"
But the door was fastened tight;
Sc he stood, abashed and silent,
In the centre Of the floor,
With defeated look alternate,
Gent On me and on the door.
Then, ns by some sudden impulse.
Quickly ran he to the FIRE,
And while eagerly his bright eyes,
s Watched the flames 60 high and higher,
In brave clear key he shouted,
Like some lordly little elf,
..Santa Klaus, come down the chimney.
Make my moder have herself!"
II will be good girl, Benny"
Said feeling The repreef;
And straightway recalled poor Harvey.
Mewing on the gallery roof.
ssen the anger was forgotten,
Laughter chased away the frown,
And they samboled meath the live oaks
Till the dusky night came down.
In my dim, fre-lighted chamber,
Harvey purred beneath my chair.
And my play-worn boy beside me,
Knelt to say his evening prayer:
A[}od bless fader-God bless moder;
God bless sister-then pause,
And the sweet young lips devoutly.
Murmured, eGod bless Santa Klaus"
H is sleeping-brown and silken.
Lie the lashes, long and meek,
Like caressing, clinging shadows,
On his plump and peachy cheek;
And bend above him weeping,
Thankful tears-Oh, Indebted!
& For woman's crown Of glory,
For the blessing Of child.

Women who wear short dresses should
read and heed this bit of advice from the
New York Times
There is one little fact that our ladies
seem to overlook in the effect of the re-
cent fashions. In other days, when
trailing skirts were the mode, the habits
of twenty years led the whole generation
of women, whether they bad experienced
the whole twenty years or accepted their
results from elders, to use their feet in a
very careless manner Walking, stand
ing or sitting, the awkwardness of femi-
nine feet must have developed to aH
extent unthought Of, because unseen.
But since the short wslking-dress has
