Chapel on every Sunday except the 9Th
LAST Thursday Jimmy Tindale, Of Ce-
| dar Snag, went "snatching" on the
shoals near Sowell's mill, and caught
eleven which weighed seventy-fve
pounds. The fish we're all trout and red
horse. The next day almost every man
| in the whole country went to the same
place, but none Of them caught fish.
WE are gratified to learn from one of
| the best farmers OF Sawdust Valley, that
the young cotton in his section is in a
very flourishing condition. The cold
snap just passed away did no damage,
and q splendid "stand" has been secured.
The farmers have their fields clean and
the crops are all. looking flourishing.
The aatteriug hope is entertained that in
addition TO reaping full crops, that the
old bachelors of the neighborhood, who
are the cause of many anxious thoughts,
will marry of, ere the now budding
leaves become sere and yellow.
THE trade in sheep has become quite
brisk in this county. Agents from Mo-
bile arc buying up all good sheep they
they can get for the Mobile market, and
are paying better prices than ever before
offered In this county.

THE crops OF corn and cotton in cur
county are as clean as we ever knew
them to De before at this season Of the
year.
TEE owner of Rutherford Creek below
tho Ashton Mill, Dam ought to keep the
seiners out of it. If he would do so, he
would confer favor apon al, gentlemen
in the surrounding country,-a favor
that would not soon be forgotten.
LAST Saturday was q bad day for the
picnics and the Bear Creek fishing party.
TON White, the schoolteaeher, barber,

! PLEASANT Mount G. p. Church, at
Carr's mill, g.. miles from Columbia, OH
the Shelbyville road, is ono of the neat
! est and most substantial church etliiiees
in the county. 1t is built of brick, upon
a beautiful eminence, that overlookB the
surrounding country. Tho ground upon
which 1t is built was given tho Trustees
/ by Mr.. Thos. Whitaker. In tho base

/ WE have been informed that the most
peaceful and independent portion OF
Maufy county is the 4th civil district.
The people are all good livers, and owe
( no debts. Tis true they have q consta,
bic, but if he depended on the litigations
in his district for living, he would
starve. Mr., Jas. G. Murphy is the con.
stable, and although he lost his right
arm in Virginia, he says he can write
better with his left hand than he used te
with his right. The loss of one arm does
not keep him from work either, as tho
nice plank fence in front of his house
will attest.
