val (Jewish and Christian) a few days ago

The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Fair, which
comes off on Wednesday, June II, 1870,
promises to be one of the most interesting
on record. The time for entrance of to-
bsccO for classes 5 and 8, TO the person
who has shipped to and sold on the
GAINESVILLE market this season, and to the
planter who has sold on this market, this
season, OF his own crop, the largest num-
Der OF ho~gsheads, has been extended to
June IS.
The Aberdeen Miss Examiner Of the
lst saws: Hon. VIM. Hodges, of this
county, has introduced a bill in the Legis-
lature 10 facilitate the construction of that
portion of the n. Oh. & @. n. K. r. which
we are in the habit of designating as the

side of the SOokatoncha, will see from
this action of Captain Hodges, that Aber-
deem is not neglecting their interests"
At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Empire Manufacturing Company,
held last evening at the office of the com
pany, the following gentlemen were
elected a Board of Directors for the en-
suing year: A. J. Bigley, Geo. II. Becker,
MouI. Pepper, J. w. Wolteung, and Geo.
W. L. Crook. Mr.. Bigley was subse-
quently elected President, Mr.. Pepper
Secretary and Treasurer, and Mr.. Becker
General superintendent.
The Paris LnseIigeReer says that the
farmers of Henry county are having more
than usual trouble with cut-worms. Many
crops of tobacco will fall short of the av-
erage on account of this pest. The same
paper says the wheat crop in that county,
after all the fine prospect it all along held
out, now promises to be a short one. The
very rich and will average ~tOlerably
well, but thin fields promise a low average
yield.
On DIT, that the renowned pianist, Mr..
Leo Wheat, will give q farewell concert on

We heard on the street a rumOr that a
shooting scrape occurred on Madison
street Yesterday afternoon, but on inquiry
at the station-hOuses, several hours after
the occurrence was said to nave taken
place, could learn nothing about it. The 4
5F,rv a.. or-rra, ~, Tho aarna-g mae that n /
gentleman hired a hackman to carry him
TO the Charleston depot, and on arriving
there gave him ten dollars to get changed.
The driver, instead of bringing bach the
change, lit out, - and was pursued by a
policeman, who shot at him to bring him
TO, which he did most effectually-cap-
turing him in the bayou on Madison
street.
We learn that the Pine Bluff and New
railroad is being pushed with
great energy. over a Thousand hands are
engaged upon it, and the contractors
are advertising for more. They expect to 4
put five hundred additional hands to
work this week. This reads like business,
proves what we nave long since
warned our people of, tina if we are not
more active than we nave been, between
New Orleans on the one hand and 81
-0uis on the other, we will lose all the
Arkansas trade. Both cities are exerting .
themselves for it, the one by means of the
.bove, and the other by the Cairo and
fulton railroad. |,

lat work will be commenced on the De- a

Dming summer. The donation by Con-
ress of the alternate sections of public

eneral Spencer, Colonel Jennings, Judge q

The Holly Springs Reporter of yester-

May 18th, we notice a long and slam
article, written from Holly Springs
a person who signs himself Miami Go
lille Miami speaks in high terms of

says the people are still rebels, mistrest
negro, curse the Government, wear ice
