HURRICANE ITEMS.

Mr.. EDITORIALS you get the news
from different parts of the county for
your valuable paper, which is welcome
visitor to every household, permit me to
give YOU a few items Of Hurricane and its
surrounding neighborhood. Hurricane
is situated or handsome level, bound
ed on the East with cedar and stately
oak, the neat white houses dotting the
evergreen, when viewed from distance
put on a lovely and cheerful appear
ance.
Mr. r. L. Owen, our polite and accom-
modating merchant, is doing thriving
business. We have Blacksmith shop,
Tailor shop, Shoe shop, good mechanics,
carpenters, and drinking saloon. Capt.
Joe Love has nice buildings about COM
pleted land Mr.. Morgan also. Il. Whit
aker sells lots at $1,000 and upwards per
acre. Our little village is growing rap
idly. Not far distant from town the col
ored people have put upa spacious school
house. to teach "the young ideas how to
shoot" Some one says they have got
too much sense now.
Adjacent to the railroad you see indus
try going ahead-cutting timber, cord
ing wood, teams hauling to the different
wood yards for the railroad; farmers are
speeding the pillow, sowing oats, fencing,
clearing up brier thicketS, breaking up
fallow, and other grounds, doubling
their energy. Cotton is at such low fig
ures that they talk of stock and grasses,
but it will take them some time to get
under Roadway. The wheat crop is COM
ing out much better than was expected
after the cold snap-most of it plenty
thick, and promising remunerative yield.
Col. \. z. Hughes, out of fifty head of
sheep, has now but twenty>seyen left,
they having been killed by the dogs
Others have suffered, but not SO heavily
as the Colonel. The Dog Law is. pcpu-
lar. The sporting season is about to
close for the bird hunters; they have had
a gay old time of it, there having been
more birds this season than usual. We
have some splendid shots Oh the wing,
such as the affable DIR. Hughes, jovial
Capt. Frank Moore, and others, who
scarcely ever miss bird.
On last Friday night the beauty and
gallantry assembled at the new and COM
modious Hotel at Pleasant Groye and
merrily went the dance until a late hour
Time passed off very delightfully."- within
the ball room, but alas, without, little
unpleasantness occurred between Mr.. A
and b. Hard words passed, and then
fist blows. They We're separated, and
b. made a sudden dash at 4. with huge
knife drawn. Approaching near A, he
discovered that he was held by stout
man, and bawled out at the top of his
voice, Hold me! Hold me some one, or
/ will stick this knife in him!' Out
burst a roaring laugh, and the fight
ended. DASH.

Napier Iron Works.
NAPIER IRON Works, Feb.

NAPIER IRON Works, Feb. 2Sth.
Mr.. EDlToR:-Quite lively party
left the confines of old Maury few days
ago, to ramble several days in the rO>
mantle county of Lewis, and would have
enjoyed the ramble exceedingly had it
not been for the tremendous rain on the
night of the 18th, which caused its linn
pid streams to swell with anger. The
first scene of note in Lewis, was ancient
"Babylon" by moon light, Newburg. 1t
is sad city, indeed, for not sound or
murmur was there heard, save the foot
steps ofthe party's horses, as they strobe
along to the hotel at the foot of the hill,
where we soon arrived, alighted, and in
a few minutes were greeted with most
excellent coffee, ham, eggs, &c, prepar>
ed in most exquisite manner. and JOY
Gus sight indeed to weary travellers.
Appetites being satisfied, and horses
mounted, ON we went to young bach
elor's cabin, situated on the banks the
beautiful Buffalo, which makes sweet
music asits waters course down its gen.
tie rocky falls, to its final destiny, where
we slept sleep that almost knew no
waking. But we did awake early the
next morning, and were guided safely
nervous circumstances, for / never saw
a more rapid stream. That guide will
long be remembered. Two miles ride
brought US to Col. Napier's residence,
which is all hospitality. After few
hours rest, we were Oft again, seine for a
deer hunt, others on a business hunt.
The deer hunters horses were ready, the
horn sounded, dogs answered, ready for
the fray, hunters with guns in hands
prepared to mount-but stop awhile,
says rather sudden darkness. and a
slight cool breeze with a ten minutes
snow fell, and then almost as sudden
change to beautiful sunshine. The
hunters mounted, and on they went, and
in few hours returned with doe slain
by the young ''Nimrod," of the beauti-
full banks of the musical Buffalo. The
other hunters returned at nightfall,
much elated on hearing that a deer had
been killed. For fear, Mr.. EDITOR, that
you may become wearied, will close by
saying that we found everything all
right in Lewis, and leave her with re-
greet, and you shall hear from me again
on her resources. j. ID.

HAMPSHIRE ITEMS.

The farmers around Hampshire are
preparing to plant corn.
Some ambitious people think Hamp-
shire will be second Columbia, after
while.
Mr.. J. l.. Barnes, of Mt. Pleasant, came
very near being drowned in Cathey's
creek in vehicle, and had to swim out
with his wife on his back. After placing
her safely on shore, he swan back and
cut his horse loose, and thus saved him
from watery grave also. The creek
was fuller than it had been in many
years.
There is very remarkable COW in
Hampshire, owned by $. II. Pogue. She
can open any gate with her horns, no
matter what kind of fastening it may
have. So says Our correspondent.
The ''lost child that was found eight
or nine months ago i'm Mr. Myers corn

been well since il was found, although il
WAS well cared for. Doctors Stockard,
Williams, and Leftwich attended it. 1t
was adopted by the county, and named
Leonard Newton Cox, and created as
much talk, and received as much atten-
ton as if il had been rich, although it
was an outcast.
Last week we mentioned that a diili-
Guilty occurred between Coffiman and a
negro, Jim Bradford, and spoke of the
| dereliction of officers Pogue and Briggs,
who were present. We have since learn
ed they did finally arrest Coffman and
and Bradford, and took them before
Esq. Akin on the following day. who,
after thorough investigation, bound
each in bond of $50 to appear at the
next term of the Circuit Court. These
gentlemen ale officers of promptness and
ability in all civil cases, but rather tar
DIV in this criminal case, which should
have been arrested ia its incipiency, for
the sake of peace and harmony.

Fountain Creek Depot, and stole about
500 in money, $500 in notes, coat,
pistol, and watch. Mr.. Beckett was

SNAIL.
Mr.. w. c. Parks, of the Sd civil dis
trict of this county, recently took three
hundred pounds of bacon to Nashville,
by way Of the Lewisburg and Franklin
pike. and has five or six hundred pounds
more which he will probably also take
to Nashville. He did not get as much
for IL i'm Nashville as he would have re-
ceived at Columbia, but the road to Co
lumbia is so very bad that he cannot
trayeIit. This is only one out of many in
stances. Mr.. David NJ. Hardison, of the
same neigh borhood, will also take his ba-
con to Nashville, ria the Lewisburg and
Franklin turnpike, simply because of
might mention Mr.. Jefferson Brown,
Hardin Mayberry, Sampson Liggett, and
many others, who are similarly situated,
but it is not necessary. The argument
for pike to Marshall is conclusive.
