Cured about S:22 in the night. IL is
not known yet how many parties
were engaged in it, but the following
Is list OF those robbed: J. A. Sebas.
tian lost $50; T, A. Mason, y gold
watch and some money; t. Nj. smith,
banker at Paris, $50 or $40 and dia-
mond pin. When the stage was sur,
rounded, Mr.. Smith had ten thousand
dollars In currency, which he was TAX
ing down to his bank from this place,
but before he was reached ne handed
it over to his wife, and as they did moi
molest the ladies, he saved this large
amount of money.
Fpll particulars have notyet been re-
cejyel. ~

1t is thought by many that it would
be better to hold the district meetings
on The 9th of August-election day
instead of the 9Th, for the reason that
more people would participate in them
on that day. 1t ought to be made pub
lie as to the day determined upon SO
that the voters may have an opportunity
Of being present in force. So far as the
9th district is concerned we think that
on many accounts the matter ought to
be deferred till the 8th at any rate
the people of the several districts ought
to talk over the subject fully and give it
publicity. Urge upon your neighbors
the propriety of attending.

makes a good sample, picks more lint
from the same amount of seed cotton, and
in less time, than any other gin. 1t does
not break the roll, nor choke, is simple
In its construction, and not liable to get

K is a good rule to try all things, and
hold fast to what has been approved, and
answers the purpose for which it is made.
This is claimed for Pratt's Sin, and ad-

A Historical Romance.

Many intelligent persons have asked
why the American eagle was chosen Of
ali other birds for ornamenting our coins
The real facts are not generally known.
Shortly after the close of the first war
with England, melancholy dreamer in
North Carolina, became a monOmania
on the subject of alchemy, aHd after
reading many books relating to it, a
beautiful maiden appeared to him in a
vision one night, and entreated him to
read no more books, as it was imposir
bic to obtain the philosophers stone by
any process of chemistry, but she points
ed her finger toward the west, and while
the man gazed he saw an eagle faaling
into the horizon. She smiled, and van
ished. The next day, and for many
days following, the philosopher tried in
vain to solve the mystery Of his dream.
AT last he filed his knapsack with pro-
visions, and started toward a range Of
hills in the west. For a week he wan
dered among the trees and rocks until
be almost lost reason. His food was
gone, and his garments were almost in
shreds Utterly wearied and footsore,
he threw himself at the foot of a cliff
and fell asleep. The maiden appeared
again, and this time her face fairly
shone with a celestial glow.
Thou art near thy journeys end,
said she, when he was awakened by the
screaming of an earle, and the next iuS
slant one flew against the rock above,
and fell dead at his feet He arose, and
strange sight met his eyes. The rock
was literally yellow with gold, and on it
appeared a perfect imprint of the dead
bird. This was the first discovery of
American gold, and in honor Of the SIM
guiar event connected with the discov-
cry, Congress ordered the American
eagle to be struck on all United States
coins.

A little necessary precaution some~
times saves a great deal 1t has been
suggested by some of our leading mer-
chants that farmers should not be too
hasty in threshing their wheat. The
sweat, so to speak, through which it
must pass, will, if threshed soon after
harvest, cause it to turn black and thus
considerably diminish its market value.
1t should pass through the "sweat" in
in the head, and then it will retain its
clear and natural appearance.-G Green

No good and capable citizen should
refuse to serve his county IN the present
emergency. The work that will come be-
fore the next General Assembly will re-
quire the exercise of the most matured
judgment and the most conscientious de-
votiou to the public veal Private
schemes and personal ambition should
not be permitted to stand in tie way of
the general good The Office should seek
the man, if ever it does or can, in can
vass for Representatives. Brains and
business capacity with integrity should
take precedence Of all other qualifications
for the responsibilities of legislation
Such, we feel sure, the people will Sc
lect, if the popular voice can get a hear
ing IN the primary conventions, and it
should take no little pains to make itself
heard, within the next three or four
months. And the State Convention
which is to nominate Governor, should
be quite as representative of the popular
