NObs. and snObs, or a Peep at
Society.

Quilp, Jr., the versatile correspondent of
the AUaIanche, gets off the following good
hit " on those that ace know, and those that
Billy Patterson does know"
Ever since the world began there have
been, and to the end of the chapter there
will be, two great parties contending for
supremacy in worldly affairs In the zenith
of ROme's power they were known as
Patricians and Plebians. In modern times
they have commended under the names of
Aristocrats and Parvenus, the bon ton and
the canailLe; and in these latter days, com
prising the same class, that have dwindled
down to can termsy " Nobs and {" Snobs.
The Nobs, as they ever have been, are in
the minority, bat they have the f" charms
metallic which add greatly to their weight;
the & Snobs have the numerical preponder-
ancy, but they lack the persuasive mangnet-
ic charms" which is a prodigious draw
back to their success for place and power.
In this country there is but one step from
Snob dom to Mob dom. As soon as a ." Snob :"
! accumulates little property he swells up
into q " Mob and consorting with his broth
er Nobs, looks down with supreme con-
tempt upon his former station, and snobbsh
associates. He is butterfly emerging from
his crysalIs state, flower expanding into
bloom from a sicklv bud. With as any one
can see these two characters on any of our
principal streets. And it is amusing to OBJ
serve them in their natural state, and as
sumed airs of Importance, as they pass along
n their daily intercourse with the world.
Take stand on Main street in the morning
or afternoon, and twig the genry-the
mob" and the "Snob" Hush-shew. Here
comes swell, native pulled up mob ,"
View his exterior, and mark his peculiar
tiles; he struts as if he had the world in
gear; he cocks up his head, as brain a
Napoleon howitzer; he snuffs the air with
the pride of race horse. Common people,
or Snobs, or "poor white folks, he scarcely

GRANTED.-We are pleased to state that
Fletcher Sloan, of Bolivar, has received a
patent for his " Cotton Planter" an improve
ment that has only to be tested to be appre-
ciated. The inventive genious of Harde-
minians is becoming. visible beyond all

tlemen have received letters patent

that gives satisfaction to all who have tried
it. G. W. Swinebroad, improved cotton
press-one of the best inventions of the
age, far superior to Utleys in simplicity,
cheapness and durability. Fletcher
Sloan, improved Cotton and seed Planter,
has no superior in the country, and will
stand the test anywhere. Other ingenious
minds are at work, and it would not be sur
prising to US if additional pantents were not
granted to our progressive citizens. 1t will
be seen that Old Hardeman is not asleep
but that she has both eyes open and is bound
to be known in the future, as in the past, as

ELECTION NoTIoE.-Sherif Nicely notifies
the voters of the 9th Civil District that he
will hold an election at the court house in
Bolivar on Saturday, October 10Th, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of L. B. Adams, Esq, one of the Magis-
trates elected at the August election. In
view of this fact, it is to be hoped that our
citizens will bear in mind the Importance of
securing the services of an able and expert
enced gentleman for the position, such a one,
for instance, as G. q. Anderson, than whom
there is none more competent and fully
qualified, for he is recognized by all as hay-
ing no superior as Justice of the Peace
in the State, and therefore, every one who
appreciates the services of good and faith
full servant will unhesitatingly go to the
polls and vote for him. While we speak
thus of the gentleman named above we do
not presume to dispsrage the claims of any,
but having an eye single, in this instance,
to the prompt and intelligent discharge of
highly important duty, we Gun but advocate
the election of G. II. Anderson as one of the
Magistrates for this Civil District

they had been voting wrong. They were
industrious, peaeeable men, but had voted
