MT. PLEASANT ITEMS.


A new firm has been established in
| the sporting circle. eBulger and Bucket
have stuck up their shingle, and we pre-
dict success for them for Mr.. Bulger's
promptness to fulfill every engagement
has no superior, and Mr.. Buckett's sue
! cess in every undertaking is well
! known. They both enjoy amusements
intensely, and are fond of all kinds
of sports and refreshments. The only
! objection urged against them is their
motto: Discrimination of the Deer
family. We learn from one of the firm
that they are pledged to each other to
| spend one-fourth of their time at Piney,
| onesfourth at Cecil s, one-fourth at No
| meat and one-fonrth at home. or someo
! where else. . .=,

Two parties went deer hunting week
before last. One encamped at the fash
ionable resort, 'SumnlertOwn," and the
other at Cecil's Camp. Both parties
killed a supply of venison While the
Summertownp party was making drive,
the report of a gun was heard in the Wis
entity OF the Grimes Chimneys, which
induced the hunters to go III that direc~
ton. A quantity of fresh blood was dis
covered, and the sign of dragging was
followed, and to the great surprise of all
the spOrGSmen found hog instead OH
deer shot through, and one of the hams
nicely skinned aud taken of, the remain
der hid behind a log. This was made
known to Mr.. Samuel Stewart, who
promptly eXoneTated the Maury hum
ters, and said it was a common occurs
renee, and about thirty had been killed,
to his knowledge.
AS every mao and his wife, and every
boy and his sweetheart, had gone 10 the
Fair last Saturday, our usually very
lively and brisk village was shrOuded
in gloom and deserted that day. If a
few slips of black Grape had been hung
to the knobs of the doors, the wayfaring
traveller, 'or any other man, would have
come to the conclusion that the town
had been visited by the prevailing mall
aides, yellow fever, cholera, and epiZo-
oty, for neither man nor beast could be
seen on the streets, until late in the
evening. Then the vigor of life seemed
to spring into existence by magic; the
multitude then commenced rolling and
tumbling in, exhausted by hard travel
and the pelting rains, Many made di>
rect to the depository to renew their
SuirjtudI strength, and they poured into
the safety~Yalvos OF their. engines the
exhilarating juice, which raised suffi-
cient amount of steam, and all went
home rejoicing that they were 'once
more made happy" ~ z..-
The Rev. Mr.. Wilkes preached his
farewell sermon last Sunday in the
Methodist Church in Mt. Pleasant be> |

less to say that he has made NUNS
Der of warm friends since he cams
among US. His name Will ever be Choir |
iShed fresh and green in the hearts of
these people. The little ones, particu |
Iarly his Sunday School, will miss him |
very much, as they were very much at |
tached to him. No parent here reioiced |

young people, than he does. Let them !
heed his wise cOunSels, and not disap. |
point his expectations.
Mr. Hayes Pickett, of Mississippi |
County, Arkansas, has been spending |
few days with his particular friend and |
associate, Mr.. Johnny Barrow, of this |
vicinity.
Letters from West Virginia, state
that Mr.. J. NJ. Gardner, of this place, |
sold hisspan of Tennessee light steppers, |
"Bald Hornet" and "White Stock ings,'
in Pittsburgh, Pa, for 81, $50; also his I
beautiful pair Object fillies, Mary" aud |

The decline in railroad stock was, we |
suppose, the cause fthe financial disas-
ter, and the long face of the great bank
er, Jay Cooke; but the advance in horse |
stock was the cause of friend Gardeners
face assuming the shape of a full blown |
moon, and he once more being made |
happy.
Bob Frierson, COL, was tried before |

the Criminal Court.
