OVER THE COUNTY.

| Jim Sargent, one of the most promi-
nent merchants of Sawdust, has sold out
to Polk Maberry and VIM. johnson,
two energetic and popular young men.
Jim has gone to farming. 1t is gravely
suspected that he is going to marry, but
we believe the report 10 SANDER.
Jet Anderson, a well known merchant
of Sawdust, has long complained that
uncle Mike KinZer, one of the monied
men of the neighborhood, never bought
anything from him. Although uncle
Mike never spent any money In Ander-
sons store, he meyer failed to come in
and warm by the hot stove every time
he came to the village. A short time
since, Jet presented bill to Mr.. Kinzer,
for certain number of :" warns" by his
fire, amounting, in the aggregate, to
quite considerable sum. Uncle Mike
refused to pay the bill, and requested
that trial come before Esq. McKennon,
at no distant day. This is certainly the
first time we ever heard of a man being
charged for warming by stove.
Several years ago number OF citi-
zens Of Sawdust Valley bought an acre
lot from Clark Kinzer, and erected
nice little school house upon it. Esq. w.
r. McKennOn, an excellent instructor.
had capital school in it. But the
Trustees never paid Clark for his land,
and last week he plowed up the yard,
and sowed it down to grass or grain. 1t
is unfortunate, as every child in the
neighborhood should 20 to school now,
while they cannot help in the farm.
Clark ought-to have his money though.
Richard Porter, Wilse Porter, Aleck
Porter, all colored of Macedonia, were
put in Jail Thursday of last week,
charged with stealing meat from VIM.
Boddie, colered, who lives on Willie
AHAp~ Jc5 1Nla tod L.,
Saturday before Esq. Harrison, and all
discharged except Wise, who was COM
mitted for trial at the next term of the
Criminal Court.
1t is known to us, and to young men
on Bear creek, that Mr.. James Y. Har-
olson, who lives on the head waters Of
that classic stream, keeps about the most
delicious Winter apples ever eaten since
Eve bit that famous pippin. We pur-
chased some from him some time since,
and our numerous friends on thqt occa>
sion, S., F., B., c., H., and many others,
pronounced them Z" very fine." We are
looking forward to the time when Mr..
HardisOn will bring his next load of ap-
pies to town. We want him to stop at
the HERALD office. Since writing the
above, we regret to learn that somebody
broke into Mr.. Hardison's apple house
and stole them all.
We return many thanks to the Com
mittee of Invitation, Messrs. G. w.
White, G. H. Lee, and G. K. Priest, for
polite invitation to party given at the
day night. We regret that we were I'M
able to attend.
DIR. James II. Hughes, fine looking
leoka, has waited on forty-iye couples |
in his brief existence. land yet he is |
not happy"
Last week our correspondent at Santa |
Fe stated that letters were frequently |
sent here to the post Office. and returned |
in the same bag to that place. Mr.. |
Baird says that the letters may have adj |
hered to the inside of the bag and been |
overlooked; but that he has done more |
to accommodate that people than al |
most any other in the county, and he |
thinks complaints come from them with |
poor grace.
Three very fine turkies were in the ex-
press wagon i'll this place, last Monday,
marked for DR.. A. T. Boyd, of the Big
byville country. They came all the way |
from Conr ecticut, and the express
charges were twenty-eight dollars.
Walter, our printers devil-Wal-
.er is an excellent name to be owned by
4 "Devil."'-says the gobbler was a big
bronze looking fellow, and would weigh
about forty pounds. The hens were of a
yrayish color. They are evidently
very valuable breed of fowls.
Mr.. George n. McKennon, the great
egg and chicken merchant of Saw
lust Valley, says that the chickens of
b At country are mostly or entirely of the
I'D "dominecker breed. If we had
wife, and she kept house-whether it
was our house or belonged to somebody
'lse-we would advise her to always
Duy chickens that came from Sawdust
Valley, for it is profound fact that the
I'D fashioned "dominecker" chickens are
much sweeter and juicier than:their big
awkward, coarse cousins, from China,
lava, and elsewhere. Give US the ''dom-
necker forever"
A bill has passed the Legislature on
ts first reading, to furnish all Justices
Of the Peace with Thompson & SteRar's
new Code. We presume our County
Court Clerk will not order this Code, as
represented by ths County Court, if there
s likelihood of having them supplied
20 the county, free OF costa saving of
about 800 to the county.
