LASEA ITEMS,

The major part of the crops is now
gathered. On some farms in this vicin
ity cotton is nearly a failure. MIR. +
w. Kinnard has twenty acres that will
average about 100 pounds per acre. The
land is good, but not gravelly. Mr.
William Jones has on w A. Derryber-
| RVS place, eight acres of gravelly land
in one half mile Of Kinnard's land, that
will average 1000 pounds per acre. He
also has some other very tolerably good
and indeed very good this year. Others
in the community have good cotton
crops, whilest some have Indifferent
ones. The corn crop in this nelghbor-
| hood is not by any means heavy one,
! several having worse crops this year
| than last. The turnip crop, which was
considerable last year, is failure, the
! grasshopfers having destroyed it when
! young and tender.
We could wish that the nasal organs
Ofth at unpriDcipaled sinner were ch0ked
with perfumes; but not at all the sweet
kind, until he could learn not to sIaugh-
ter his beeves in trent of his neighbours
door.
Our reporter tells us of finding some
hogs of his in another mans possession
with the old marks sloped of, and some
new ones cut. If the person in whose pos
session the hogs were found was poor
man, doubtless he would have to render
An account of his condRct before his
Honor, Judge McLemOre. AS he is a
wealthy man, the probabilities are that
he will not have prosecutor. If man
was starving there would be some Its
tie excuse, but otherwise there is none.
There have been several failures made
in trying to sell land at auction very re-
Gently, and some in this community.
The time has arrived when legatees can
not sell lands for division; but we nave
never known lands to rent so high be-
fore. James Williams farm rented for
two prices, Just twice as much as it
brought one year ego. What is the
cause OF this enormous depression in
the land market? Is it taxes7 Is it the
time present law, or something else?
The young people had a spelling match
At Overton's School-house last Satur-
day night, which was very interesting,
and also some excellent spelling. Mr..
Claiborne Overton and Mr.. Elijah AL
len were the captains. Mr.. AIlen's par
ty was victorious. Such conversations
as these are not only interesting and
entertaining, but very beneficial to
all who take an interest in them. We
hope to see all take part i'll them.
We can fully understand and appre-
ciate Esq Sanders unaffected interest
and love for his Georgia friend, tor we
had OurseIf like experience during the
within us when we think Of Mrs. |
Beathe, of Virginia, Mrs DR.. Dun |
leary, of Mississippi, or Mrs. White, |
of Giles county, in this State. The |
kindness of these noble women we will |
never forget SO long as we shall be per-
United to live, and if we were ever perS |
United to see them we know that our |
gratitude would overcome us as did our |
worthy Magistrates.
Thara will ba naaTiOp avery Wa6 OaS-
day night at Lasea, for social singing /
and prayer. We trust the people will |
attend literally and make il interesting
and beneficial, for such meetings will
prove blessing to community # con-
Quoted in the right spirit. The young
are especially invited to take an inter
est, and should we think improve the
opportunity to do so.
Mr.. James Addison has been sick
with chills and fever about two months,
and we fear very much that his consti-
tuition is so badly wrecked that recu-
peration will, if not impossible, be in
deed very slow.
1t now becomes our painful duty to
pen the death of most worthy chris
tian lady, Mrs. Mary Allen, who calm
Iy and sweetly passed from time last
Friday morning, after protracted i'll
ness of several months, with that insid-
OuS disease, consumption; I'll OF which
she bore with a fOrtitude becoming a
christian. She leaves a sen, noble
little boy, mother, brothers, sisters and
many other relatives and friends to
mourn their loss: unto whom we say,
weep not as those who have no hope, for
we are assured in the holy scriptures
hat those that fall asleep in Jesus, will
le bring with him when he comes to be
glorified in his saints. Whilst con-
such glorious scenes as
,hese:
We would exultingly say,
In rapture sublime;
Lord hasten the bright day,
In thy own good time.
Notwithstanding that death has claim ,
ed her as his own,
Our Lords consignment to the tomb,
Is the christian S cherished theme,
Since he h as thus diSpelled its gloom, |
Redemption in him we've seen.
Since our Savior has c93quer6d the
rim monster in his own domains, we
an with confidence say,
Dear Mary, she is dead and gone,
Her face we here shall see no more;
Yet we cherish the hope most fond,
To see you on the shining shore. {
She's launched upon the turbid sea, {
There to await her Lords command;
From cares, tears and sorrow set free, y
To come to that bIissful land.
She was buried at BlantOn's Chapel '
cemetery, with the honor and impos-
lg ceremonies of the order OF Patrons
nd of Husbandry. Funeral services by I
