|, 'otton and re-planting or substituting corn.
rhis we do not think is generally the case
through the county.
PAINFUL AccIDENT.-Mr George G.
Perkins was kicked by horse at his farm,
near Denmark, on Friday the nth, and his
left leg broken. DIR. NewberR, Of Dem
mark, is waiting on him and he is reported
doing well. We hope TO see him up and
well soon.
CONSUMING ARoUND.-On Monday night
we received the FIRST visit Of the season from
, those familiar little bores, the mosquito.
They came in singing with great cheerful
ness and presented their little bills with
their usual prompt and affectionate impu-
denee.
SWALLOWED NAIL.-On Friday the
10Th little son Of James Rose, near Den
mark, aged about eighteen months, swal-
lowed an elght-Penny nail.s As extraordi-
nary and even startling AS it was, no seri-
Gus consequences have resulted, as far as
we have heard. .taa

Mississippi Central Extension, we learn,
will be completed early next week. The
hands are now near enough 10 hear the

MANDATORY.

OF lands a. BURNELL, are turn
ne out large amount Of first class work
every week. Their business has greatly in
creased, and they will doubtless be CON-
PEELED to make a further enlargement Of
their establishment. The reason Is obvi-
oas-Their work always gives sat-
IsIaetIOn, and when they sell to one man
in locality, thsy draw the trade Of that
seetisn. Their repairing department is al
50 on the increase, as they invariably guar
zntee their work, and employ none but
first class mechanics.
This establishment is a credit TO the city,
and we hope that it will continue to pros
per. The citizens Of adjoining counties
would do well to examine the work Of this
extensive establishment before sending
urther of.
