Messy Creek Items.
The vicinity for a few miles south of
this place was visited yesterday with q
severe storm, such as never witnessed bv
the oldest men of that neighborhOOd. The

all who witnessed the scene.
The farm of j. NJ. Newman, Octavius

guilty last week. Clint drew his pistol on his
brother but the latter got the first shot,
which struck the brother on the forehead
He is still living but in q critical condi-

In addition to the decided interest now
being taken in the gold developments of
this old county, there has been recently
discovered vein of manganese some eight
feet III breadth of the form known as pyrO-
lusite or metalloide. This vein is found in
the immediate vicinity of the celebrated
TelliGp ores, and may be used in the man
ufacture of steel by the Bessemer process,
with that valuable ore. The large volume
of water is still running by the Tellico
property, and valuable water power 1.-THE
best in the State), and the finest lands, are
still seeking purchaser
The crop prospect in Monroe is said to,
be better than has been expected, as the
late rains have given fair promise of sue
cess. On the whole the out look over this
fine county is encouraging. She asks for
emigrants and she can make it for their
interest to come. There is cheap lands and
fine water and as good society as can be
found in any section of the Stale. People
are moral but can not stop raising corn to
exhaust the land as well as their purses
