We have spent pleasant week on a visit 10
the county seat Of our county. The events Of
the week have been lively and interesting.
County court convened on Monday with an
unusually large crowd In attendance. In the
evening a difficulty occurred between Ed.
Snow, VIM Myers, jr, and Robert Myre-
Snow fired two shots without effect, and hat
tered Williams bead severely wish a pistol.
The parties will undergo anexaminal trial to.

EDUCATIONAL.
But the most prominent feature ofthe week |
was the Teachers Institute At the Christian
Church. Mature age and blooming youth
the beauty and the chivalry Of the county
have all taken an abiding interes, in is pro- |
ceeding. and have contributed in making II |
attractive. We believe that the deliberations
Of this week will begin new epoch in educa-
tional matters in this section. It's true that
we heard some faint murmurings from a class |
Of "sore-head.," which sfiiict every communi-
", but il Is believed that even these Rip Van
Wrinkles will awake from their long sleep in
few years and be astonished to find that Ca |
sey county and the balance Of the world is
progressing.
|. The only occurrence calculated to mar the
pleasure Of the week, took place on Monday
morning. About the close Of one Of Profess
or Loventhars fine lectures, Miss Bell Lipe,
a young lady Of high social position, entered
the church, called 10 the professor and in
formed him that she had had aconversation with |
God, and that God had commissioned her TO
inform the members Of the institute through
him that the world wns coming to an end on
that day. 1t was the first intimation any per-
son had that her mind was dethroned, and, Of
course, every person present was startled. She
was started to the lunatic asylum last Tues
day evening. A gloom has been cast over
this entire community.
We learn from private letter from our
correspondent that the young lady above re-
ferred to has since died.-ED.l

J. +. Hays, distinguished lawyer from

the gentler sex. Although his life issilently ap-

FOUNTAIN YOUNG.
We had an interview few days since with
the wife of Fountain Young the escaped pris-
oner. From her we CLEANED the following
That he intends TO surrender himself the first
court, as he is anxious to have the matter de-
cided. He desires to remain ont Of Jail has
no weapons, and does not intend to harm any
one. Is very much hurt in his feelings, be-
cause his neighbors are afraid Of him; is Grip
led has no money, and couldn't leave IL he
wanted to.
CROPS.
The wheat crop is very light all over the
county. On the Rolling Fork, however, a fair
crop was raised, but nothing like an average
Oats were fine but fallen down in many places.
Different opinions exist in regard to the pres
ent prospects of the corn crop; old farmers
think there will not be an average, while 9TH
ers think the prospect fine
HOTELS.
The two well conducted hotels are very
much crowded. We are putting up with
Coffey & Gree. Both Bob and his venerable
partner have such peculiar ways of making
guests feel perfectly at home that we leave to- |
day with reluctance.
THE INTERIOR JOURNAL.
This number will be sent to many who are
not regular subscribers. We have few dis I
interested words to say in behalf Of The In
TERROR JOURNAL. The editor has without
stint opened his columns in developing the
interests Of that section Of the State where
many Of these extra copies will. circulate. To
that over-tasked, under-saaried, unappreciat-
ed, poverty-stricken profession, who teach the
young ideas how to shoot, we can speak with
the utmost freedom. He has many times,
without parsimony, let you have the use Of
his columns in advancing the great cause Of
education in which you are engaged. Many
of you, am aware, take no paper. l know
that many Of you are ambitious and are striv-
ing, for your country's good to improve in
your profession. II you expect to become an
eminent without being posted in what is going
on in the busy world around you, you viii be
mistaken. Lend a helping hand, then, in
building up a paper that has never sighted
your section Of the country, and the two dol
lars you pay out for the one years subscrip-
tiou will return to you in manifold proper
tons. ETHELBERT.
