MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

"A. c. Thompson & Co., have lately been
receiving and shipping a large lot of tim
Der. Last week they received 5000 feet OF
excellent poplar lumber from Wallace Nc
Cormack, and 40 600 feet of walnut lum Der
from Thos. H. Bond, who now owns the Gen.
Degrahenreid farm, of Williamson county.
Mr.. a. G. Thompson says Mr.. Bonds lum-
Der was the incest lot he ever bought; more
pains had been taken in the saving. And
yer MI bonu mas Deen IN Ghe saw mil Dusl-
ness only three months. Mr.. Thompson
paid Mr.. Bond eleven hundred and ninety
three dollars for the lumber. He says Mr.
Bond is not only a thoroughgoing business
man, but is as clever as men ever get to be.
Probably nowhere in the world are
spring and autumn more beautiful than in
grass and giant trees. October is the poet
zeal month of the year. In the language of
another: Its brilliant suns, its cool, crisp
atmosphere, the varied glOrieS of the " GODS,
the autumn fruits, the woodland and pisca-
tOrial sports, all render ii one of the most
enjoyable months in the calendar. The po-
ct has Superbly described 1t in one line,
APPLIED autumn, gOlde n-cheeked and tam
a line, indeed, that seems to picture the
whole scene. We can see the grape pur-
ping on ire treIIis; the pippin hanging
gOldenly from the richly-laden bows; the
ripe yellow corn bursting through its
huSks; the nuts dropping thickly in the for
est 5; the woods in their crimson and russell
t1nts; the quail piping in the Etubble fields;
the trout and perch gambOling in the silver
and all nature in mellow radi-
ance." If you want to see picture which
none of the old Masters can rival, get on an
Gmlnence, IN the afternoon, ana cast your
eyes upon the many hills that rise to view,
some climbing above others. One hill you
will find glowing with the blood-red black
gum; another with the golden sugartree; an
other with the grand old giant poplar, ar
rayed in saffran colOred garments, and all
relieved by the old oak, still wearing of the
green"
