although the passenger traids will be longer
upon the road, there will be less danger Of
accident.
ARREsTED.-On Saturday last Capt. C. v.
Hamilton took to Edgefeld three negroes,
named Houston Abney, and Ellen, his wife.
and Tho.. Perry, suspected of the murder OF
the Rev. Mr.. Harrison. The Advertiser says
that Capt. H., by adroit questioning, has
drawn from them a confession of their guilt.
The CLANS" Guano Distributor and Cot
ton Seed Planter. offered for sale at the store
Of Mc>srs. Bu,zer'& Co seems to be an ad-
nira6'c labOu7 Saving contrirance, and we
advise our planter friends to give it an ex-
animation. One horse and hand with RIBS
distributor ard planter will do the work of
double that force, and in better manner.
WHO ARE TuLr?-A humber Of small
pcddlars orc tramping through the country
at present, and so many are there that the
question has been asked us, "What arc they
after" TIE limited stock which these itin-
rant foot-pads exhibit, exci.es suspicion that
they are after no good, their whole stock and
trade not seeming to be sufficient to pay for
one days entertainment. We can only re>
peat the question, ''Whst are they after?'
Cannot answer it. Let our farmers through
the county watch them, and perhaps the
question msy be solved. They may be try
Ing to turn an honest penny, or they may
not. Five are reported as passing Liberty
Hall last week.
CANNOT co BACK.-Eot for moment did
this local think last week when he said that
John VAS there" that so many Johns ex-
listed, and that 30 many OF :hcm would enter
protest against the innocent combination Of
words. Each John. young or old, ccmely or
otherwise, fearful lest some one would iasten
it on lIim, has called on this local for re-
traction, or that the particular John be so
named as 10 be known; and he has been
waylaid on the s:Icct. and dogged, till he is
getting 8 li.te anxious about the conse>
qu nccs-not for himself though. hut for the
Johns. All want to know, and insist upon
knowing, which john WIS meant; even the
ladies are full of curiosity. AS stated already,
no pcrsO!ial fear is entertained by this local,
nor Will he so b?ck unr jut, but 10 ailay the
general curiosi y, lie bcgs TO say that it was
Dcm.-John. lie hopes now that nothing
more will be said about the matter, or he
will place the fighting man on the var path.
4 SWEET TEMpER.-"No trait Of char. ctcr
is more valuable in woman than the pos
session Of a Sweet temper. Home can never
be happy without it. 1t is like the flowers
that spring up in our pathway, reriving and
cheering US. Let a man 60 home at night
wearied by the tolls of day, and soothing Is n
word dictated by a good disposition! 1t
is sunshine falling on his heart. He is hap
py, and the cares Of life are forgotten. 4
sweet temper has soothing influence over
the minds Of whole family. Where it is
found in the wife and mother, you observe
kindness and love preLominaiing over the
natural feeling of bad heart. Smiles, kidd
words and looks characteriz. the children,
peace and love have their dwelling there \
sweet temper is more valuable than gold; it
captiYateS more than benuty, and to the
close of life il retain, all freshness and pow
er."
