Nimrod, not the renowned and the
hunter of olden times, but his name

igal son, returned to the land of his ma
tivity, to recuperate his health, which
has been seriously impaired by swallow

frog water of Arkansas. MIN says,
"No more RackinSack in mime"
Our village, at last, is on the march
upwards. After rusticating in the wilds
of Lewis county few days, returned;
and like country boy, who makes his
first advent in town, looking piOmiscu-
ously at everything, discovered 4 piece
of tin hanging out conspicuously, with
golden letters, "Dr. a. Williams, Den
tist;" few steps further, we saw and
were surprised by the display of a large
watch. Roaming to TIE place to satisfy
idle curiosity, discovered III the show
window of the store room, recently Oc-
cupied by our neVer-tlring, indOmita-
BILE, i. O. Cross, iewelry, and posters
notifying the people that Cha5. T, WV
ate has opened watch and ieweler's es-
tabIishment in Mt. Pleasant; as the girl

without excitement, trouble, lawsuits
or DRINKS, only a little curiosity pros
duced by the "grand ontree" into the
city by the "Piney Hunters Caravan,
headed by Maj. Harris, Commander-in-
Chief, and his subordinate "Bulger,'
! who made display by placing his buck
horns cOnspicuOuslv on his chair, i'll the
back part of his chariot, footing his horn
| and leaving town at railroad speed.
Bulger bore of the trophies but was not
| the victor of the bucks.
Mr.. r. w. Vincent a yeoman, pie
