"A NEW FAsHEoN.-It has long been the

A FIRE IN THE COUNTRY.-On Wednes-

dence Of Jas. 4. VHnn, eight miles North
west Of the city, was burned to the ground.
1t was occupied at the time by Mr.. Willis
Small. AS TO the origin Of the fire, there

OUR FALL FAIR---An the signs Of the
times point to one Of the most triumphant
Fairs this Fall, that Madison county has
ever Witnessed. The spirit and energy
with which the directors have tAkez hold
Of the work, and the progress which they
have made In terminating all their ar
rangements, togsthsr with the magnificent
premium list they have prepared, will at
tract uniYersal attention. Already, we
understand, inquiries have been in
stituted, as to the accommodations for
stock, for the exhibition Of machinery, and
the like. Ample arrangements are being
made TO accommodate all, Of all classes,

known and highly moral young man Of
this county was In town little late few
days ago, and was quite weary from exces-
sive business when he started home. On
his way home he had 70 pass the residence
of his sweetheart, who had 4 Sprightly and
knowing little sister. AS he passed his
sweetheart home, il was quito evident that
either him or the old mare he rode, was
well, drunk. The knowing little sister OBJ
served them as they passed, and ran into
the house exclaiming, ooh sister, Mr.-'s
mare il drunk" Chow do you know"
sharply replied fine elder sister. Because"
said the knowing little one, "Mr. - can't
keep her straight in the road, she just wab-
bles from one side to the other, like n
old mare was drunk.
A Sacramento Meeting will begin at the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church on to-
night, the Both inst, and Providence favor
ing, the meeting will be prOtrscted for sew
eral days. The exercises will be conducted
by the Rev. DIR. Burney, WHOSE high stand
ing as q minister, both in learning and
christian bearing, is not excelled in the
South, and his services on this occasion
will doubtless attract the attention OF this
community. Ills perhaps proper to state
In this connection, that this eminent divine
has labored faithruIiy hers since January
last, and this city has not fully appreciated
his presence. His church In jackson has
but a small membership, and outside Of its
circle, but little seems to be
known Of the rich theological treats that
are given out by him every Sabbath. We
are fully authorized to extend cordial in
gitation to the entire public, and especial |
" TO those who are not in the habit of at !
tending any church. Go out, it will do
you no harm. All can we'll afford 20 give
this matter some attention.

Thos. Peters, President of the Birming-
ham and Jackson Railroad, has resigned,
and it is incumbent upon the directors of
that line to I'LL the vacancy. Now is the
chance to secure the services of some good
man who will labor to connect Jackson
with the iron mountains Of Alabama, and
we hear the name Of Col. John j. Williams
frequently and fSyorRbly mentioned in this
and we are sure no one could
be found more able or capable, or whose
sleetloR would give more geaeral satisfac-
ton.
