sells in the eve ming breeze; while the
tender shoot is filling out to the full
huge ear, giving rise to the merry shouts
ofJuvenile hearts from the lowly cottage
in the distant hills. With one more
good rain our harvest will be abundant.
We speak OF this immediate vicinity;
from surrounding sections reports are
less favorable, but this neighborhood
will have some to spare.
Notwithstanding the scarcity of legal
tenders, the work of improvement goes
nobly on. Our esteemed townsmau,
Geo. c. Taylor, has just completed his
residence, and his style of finish is ex-
pressiYe of a cultivated taste.~ Also,
the Methodist church is being embel-
lished with an extra coat of paint, Civ
ing the external appearance of a new
building, while within has been arrang-
ed in architectural style and at consider
able cost, "a cry beautiful pulpit, the
wings of which extend nearly the
entire width of the house To show The
good feelings bet ween our Christian
friends of this place, the use of the Pres
byterian church was very kindly prof
fered during such repairs. All this at
tests the growth of a free, religious peo-
plea people who stand aloof from the
Earring discords and cOnfusions which
wreck the present happiness and future
hopefulness of many communities. We
live to hope the Goddess of Love and
Liberty and the Angel OF Peace will
never allow the hideous progeny of
Chaos to creep in betwixt this people.
The Rev. Mr.. Orman preached at the
Methodist church Sunday morning and
night. The Sabbath~schooI at each
church is prosperous.

TO eat for all who desire to pay US pass

On Tuesday of last week the young
people met as the residence of Charley
Williamson for the indulgence of repair
lee and CHANGING smiles such as The soft
arrows which little cupid filings Tor
sendsl from his silver bow. COnvivial
hilarity crowned the sOiree with exquis-
tie pleasures. We learn that a couple OF
our gallant youths, who have trodden
the soft roses and plucked the bashful
violets of some eighteen summers, were
very much disappointed and nonplussed
6v the breaking down of the carriage as
on the Journey to take the fair nymph-
ike forms of their selected friends to the
fske chdmpetre, But alas! the bright
flowers of anticipation had ceased to
bloom, and blighted hope had settled
the pail of despair, for the Outgushing
of youthful enthusiasm had Graded to
The tranquility of repose, as Fate permit
led the weary night to spin her tOrtuOus
round, which lett them without the
mirthful scene. The good lady and gems
rleman, Mrs. and Mr.. W., treated the
youngsters to watermelons in prOfu-
sion, together with nice peaches.
Absent from their home are the anna
ole young ladies, Misses Cochran, who
are visiting in Giles county, but will re-
urn, anon, to grace with joyous smiles.
Miss Lizzie NIcGaw has been stopping

an aged lady of this vicinity, Mrs. Love,
who had passed heg "three score and
