SIX WIDOWS, whose ages ranged from
eighteen to Twenty-Five, passed through
our city on the Central road yesterday.
They attracted the attention of two Of
our most blooming and impressionable
bachelors, who by chance were at the
depot, but they ignobly failed to induce
them to get Oft and settle in this city.
AT DEPOT saloon there was u large
muss on Friday night. A compactly
"turpentined' chap steps in and uses
freezing cold words TO woman. The
son hearing the same, jumps out from
an adjoining room and knocks the
''turpentined" chap down and pounds
his "baconn until his cries attracted
the "beobles" around and they haul
the son off, when the merriment
ceases.
In BUSTING church benches for the
ladies, young gentlemen should OBJ
serve expedition. One of them last
Sunday was rather ''poky" and the
young lady sat down somewhat "too
previous" She thought it was only Il
grasshopper aud didn't move, If she
had looked in the young mans face
she would have known it wasn't
grasshopper, and might have thought
that the young man was getting the
apoplexy.
ONE Of our cotton buyers was so af-
fected by four wagons of cotton that
happened to be near his store, yester-
day, that he actually offered the owner
nine and half cents ronpd, and then
stepped aside and wept. The planter
said 1t also affected him vesy much |
that all of those wagons shoald just |
happen to be there, and that such an
accident should cause any one to offer
him nine and a half cents round for
the same. my, tne readela'-h. he hsG |
