DIED,

In Hickman, Sunday, July 3, Mrs. Paw
LINE OvERToN PRATHER, wife Of Geo. b..
Prather, Esq, aged "a years.
The deceased was one of the most esti-
mable and dearly beloved ladies of Hick-
man society. Young, sprightly, but few
months married, and full of all the bright
promises of life. She leaves a devoted
husband, fond parents and relatives, and
a community of friends, to mourn her
early loss. who can find consolation only
in the belief that she has been gathered
to her home by her Heavenly Father, there
to dwell forever more, where suffering
and sorrow are unknown.
Weep not for her. She is an angel now,
And treads the sapphire floors of para
disc,
All darkness wiped from her refulgent
brow,
Sin, sorrow, suffering banishcd from
her eyes;
Victorious over death, to her appears
The vest'd joys of heavens eternal years
Weep not for her

False and Foul attach.

Certain orators in the Western States
have made furious attack upon the
Patrons of Husbandry, and express
apprehensions of some grand plot
against the good of the country, to
come from this order We are not a
membe of the order, but our knowl-
edge of their objects and aims, aud
specially the character of the men
and women who compose its member
ship, would settle it at once in our
mind that the attack is unjust and
founded 10 malice. No purer or better
element exists in the land than that
found in the membership.

The suggestion of the agriculture
editor of the Springfield Record
20 save the wheat straw as a substitute
for hay, is good one. Straw this sea
son is free from rust, clean and bright
and will serve to winter cattle. If the
wheat cannot be threshed at once, il
should be stacked.
The better way is to have good
shed or barn in which to keep straw,
hay and all corn fodder out of the rain
aud snow. Those short of roughness
should plant corn thick to be cut for
hay Just before frost.

Oar Circuit Court. Judge Shackelford on
eHe oench, after recess of four days, nd.
.lourhed to-day. Very little business was
transacted, and that principally on the
eifsheery side OF the docket. Since the yir.
tnai abolition Of the county courts, the
DOCKET has become very fun, and cases drag
along slowly. The majority of our people
are III favor of the restoration OF the county
court as it was.
The weather to-day and yesterday has
been delightful, especially after the cold snap
OF the last week. 1t is feared that the late
cold has DESTROYED all the early fruit.
The wheat in this section is looking very
well, and hopes are entertained for a better
yield than usual ii nothing untoward bap-
pens between this time and harvest. Our
people are slowly recovering from the effects
of the late panic. and good wheat crop
would relieve them much. The winter has
been an open one, and many farmers have
finished ploughing for corn. The oat crop
is already seeded.
