and by their description of the pleasant
time they saw almost made us wish we MAD had
Mr.. FlOyd's family, with much regret. His
wife is a good woman, and his daughters
sweet SyOung ladies. Mr.. Floyd treated us
kindly. He is great hunter, and during
the present warm season, will not kill deer.
Would that every hunter would do likewise.
He has two tame deer, and three or four
fawns. He says a fawn can only be tho
roughly tanned by picking 1T up In the
woods, and raising 1t without its mother.
Well, We left, and after we had gone seve-
raj miles, Mr.. Shacklett, who had two DASH
ing horses, of which he was proud, told US we
could not keep up, and we had better go an
other road, which we knew he was going a
new, short route. We did so, and beat him
about half an hour. The four singers, after
eating hearty dinner prepared by color

request of Mrs. McV. and Miss q. The

that their auditors could not see them, and
sang" Yes, Lord, tits me that wants to jine

then slipped into town, and had our long
boards taken off by Cap and Rufe.

Death oC Mr. yVru n Maycs-

OF our most valuable and worthy citizens,

ON Tuesday, NJ. Mayes, in company with
some half dozen of citizens, went out on a
fishing expedition to Yocona bottom, camp

the party were engaged in digging ditch
to drain Off the water from small lake, Mr..
Mayes put his left hand into the, water to
remove some brush. While under the
wiiter, his hand was bitten by what he sup
poSed was nioeeasi;i s,iak e as lac could not
see what 1t WAS Very soon his hand and
arm commenced swelling, and paining him
terribly, satisfying all present; that he had
received snake bite of the most virulent
character. The party did all in their pow

brought home, every medical appliance was

the time he feeelteY the iylte, Alul hls

all in their power TO give relief, and check
the virulence of the poisonous bite, but all

even under ordinary fkrhs, Is q lad event,
but the death of Nr. Mayes, who was 81
highly esteem ed and beloved, and coming rs

choly circumstances, casts a deep gloom oil
sadness over our entire populace. Mr.. Mayes
was a native of Maury county, Tenn., but

or on his place near Water V9lleS, He was
thoroughly identihed with dnd has taken
an active part in all the developments q!

honor and trust in the city government
His loss will be deeply fel. in all circles OF
this community.
The high esteem and good feeling enter
tanned by our people, fur Mr.. Mayes, was
evineed, by the closing up of all our places
of business, during the evening of yesterday
many of them long before the hour for his
funeral arrived. Most of our stores
doing business in the same line with Mr.,
MayeS, had their doors draped in mourning
To his most estimahle lady who survives
him, and interesting family, we tender our
heartfelt sympathy, in this, their hour OF
