SOS SIHERN Made SHOES.-Ali. y. OlIlS!e-
ton Of our town has for sale q sample
case or two of shoes manufactured by
Messrs. Shelly Bros. & Co., at Thomas
vile, n. c., which will compare favorably
with northern manufacture. These shoes
are Brogans, ladies goat walking boots,
and mems balls, and arc Of substantial
make, good material, we'll finished and as
cheap as those w!tlch come from nothcrn
manufactures. If as good then and
perhaps little better, and certainly as
cheap, no objection can be urged against
patroniz;ug OUR own Southern factory.
FRESH SUPPLIES. The public general
ly, and the ladies particularly will thank
US for the information which it is in our
pleasure to give them, and that is that
Messrs. Barre & Son have received an
other supply Of elegant and seasonable
dry goods, embracing every variety Of
goods in their particular line which can
be called for. One especial feature be-
ing that these goods will be sold at re-
duced prices in accordance with the
pressure on the times. If the public
therefore study their interests they will
certainly give these gentlsmen attention.

i furious storm Of wind and rain
passed over our section on Monday after
noon last. For nearly an hour the rain
descended in angry torrents, and the
wind blew as it listed without fear or
favor. "The oldest irhabitant," SC.
Wherever it fell broken land must have
been washed considerably, and the wheat
somewhat twisted or laid PROSTATE but
the storm was happily of short duration.
We have not heard if the rain was OK
tensive. Ii was beginning to be needed.
Nothing was suffering, however, and it is
Just in time (the condition Of the atmo-
sphere is favorable for more) for the
splendid fields Of growing corn, cotton,
and other crops, that thickly dot the
district. The immense breadth of wheat
natures beautifully.
TIE FESTIVAL for Thursday night, the
purpose Of which is explained in advcr-
tisemcnt elsewhere, promises to be per-
feet success. 1t has elected all the ardor
and energy Of the young Of both sexes,
and called forth the generosity Of heads
Of families to an extent very remarkable,
when we consider the pressure Of the
times and scarcity Of everything. Still
It's not surprising that it has had this
effect, when we remember the praise
worthy objects contemplated. There
will be many attractions, the chief Of
which will be the Art Gallery, decided
novelty in these parts, together with ex-
ouisite music, instrumental and vocal,
tables loaded with useful and ornamental
things, and presided over lg TIE FAIR,
(using the word in both senseS, and COM
pretending fair dealings, as we'll as fair
complexionS,) the Post office, the Grab
bag, the Soda-fount, Alc-pump, &C, &C.,
and last but not least, hot Supper.
The folio Sing is Il list of the paintings
and statuary to be exhibited:
The Four Seasons; View Of the Rhine;
The Light of Other Days; The Dcluge;
The Flowe: Of the Family; Infantry in
Rcposc; The Deer Slayer; Bridal Scene;
Under the Lee; The Belle Of the Village;
The Chase; \ Font Proceeding; Depart
ed Spirits Ruins of Greece.
This town is fortunate in that it luns
two "lnachires," and though the old ma
chine is somewhat out of order and has
turacd out nothing for some time, it only
needs the tightening Of loose screw
here or there and little grease, when
it will again commence its grinding.
The other machine from which the fol-
lowing job was turned off is bran new,
and runs little stiff1y as yet, but with
practice will compete with the best Of
its kind soon:
MACHINE POETRY.
At Wicker's, the sun was low;
There was no untrod lep snow.
The moon was shining bright,
But Andy saw another sight.
