man F.-you see an item Of news here IS
worth deal, and we will not quit it till
it is worked thrcadhare-we account for
his success in the fact that he has always
remained at home and attended strictly
to business-and in proof of this, on Civ
ing out some pieces Of clothing to the
laundress yesterday, he remarked, that
though he had lived g. years, and was
grsndns to Il living chips from the old
block, this was the 6rss time he had ever
given out any

We consider this an Interesting fact, and
on the whole good item, therefore make

4 day or two since we found q good
nut for picking by cotton growers. Here

farmers in this region is man who

that is no more than little patch for his
old womau's use and bchoof. He raises
abundance Of corn, hogs and cattle, not
to mention the inevitable chicken, (his
name is not Smith, has good horses, and
in short is on the road to fortune-crack
it ye cottonists who pay out all your
hard earnings for corn and bacon. Al.
lud;ng to this worthy example to neigh
Dor, and attr;buting his success to hog
and horniny and other small things-we
we're told that he also had "sti!l." We
will drop the subject therefore.
How very much are missed from thelr
old hsunts, the courteous DR.. Moore,
and the amisble Mr.. Clough Beard, both
Of whom now moulder in the silent dust,
beneath the clods Of the valley. Their
presence added much to the interest and
pleasures of Gienn's. Mr.. Beard, it is
known by many of orr readers, had
many

among which was one that in the new
earth, which in the fulness of time is to

be recognized by former masters and ad-

Better that they never be born again un-
less the roads be fixed up-so says an
Edgeie!d man, John Holl!ngsworth By
name, and we are rsther inclined to- agree
with him. Our young friend George
Kat left this locality on Monday morn
ing before day, and considerably in the
dark-beside it was rsining-snd over
this very worst Of roads; and at night
when our very reliable and excellent
hack driver, Taylcr, returned, we very
naturally inquired if there was anything
left Of George-"Oh, yes" said he, "he
