HICKMAN COUNTY ITElss.

J. d. Easily, an old and respected
citizen died at Centreville, on the 4th of
September. He was one OF the Old land
marks in our county. Every body in
Hickman county knew Jim Easily"
His loss will be greatly felt in this COM
munity and his death deplOred by ev-
eryone who knew him. He was buried
with Masonic hOnOrS, and large con-
co lrse of people gathered to pay the
last sad tribute of respect to his memO~
ry by following his remains to the
tomb.
Chancery Court was in session at Cen
treYille last week, with Chancellor @. II.
Nixon presiding. A large amount OF
business was transacted with that dis
patch and promptness usual with him
in the Chancery courts OF this division.
We have never missed a Chancery
Court since he has been Chancellor.
The fall session of Centreville Acade-
my commenced last Monday under the
charge of Prof. John d. Eich baum, with
a fair attendance. The Indications are
that his school will be prosperous.
A war of races in Lewis county has
commenced. Four horses, of the one
hundred and seventeen driven there
from the neighborhood of Centreville, in
Hickman county, have been Kukluxed
by rattlesnakes. Ct. w. StantilI, John
V. Gray and J. f. EasOn want the mills
tary. Capt. T. S. Easily lost his old
horse, Horace Greeley. Social equality
III the green pastures of Lewis county
cannot exist as long as there is a Ku-
klux whistle of the midnight marauGers
to be sounded.
A large number of squirrels have re-
Gently immigrated to Hickman; the
woods are full of them and DR.. Norris,
j. A. Brown and Others about Centre
vile, are having fine sport in lessening
this immigration. They are welcomed by
bloody hands to hOspItable graves.
Abraham Reaves, the County Court
Clerk elect, was indicted into office on
last Monday, besides the other county
officers who were required to give bond
on that day.
Jim Nix is very well pleased with
the report of his asphaItum discov-
cries published in the HERALD AND
MAIL. He says he has got large piece
of silver ore he is going to bring our
correspondent, to be forwarded to the
Editor of the HERALD, provided it does
not inspire the editor with a too earnest
effort in advocacy of a resumption of
specie payment before he can get the res
quired amount of greeubacks to make
him happy. Greenbacks in Hickman
are about as scarce as specie now.
sEHickman retains her usual ordiliness
and quiet in these times of civil rights
troubles and connections elsewhere.
