| out an orchard of several thousand
trees, which we think is a step in the
right direction, and should be followed
by Others.
We notice that the pavements are
very often INSTRUCTED by groups Of
hystanders to such an extent that Ia
dies find it difficult to pass, and they
frequently cross the street to avoid the
crowd. Such should not be the case.
We had the pleasure of meeting our
genial and gallant friend, Adjutant
General w. r. Handy, last Mon
day in Nashville, and take this occs-
sion to express our thanks for favors
shown. He is the right man in the
right place
Mr. David Bryant and wife were
thrown from a buggy Monday eve

fright at the train. Neither one was

was severely bruised, the buggy run

Esq. Jordan has docketed two
thousand one hundred and ninety
six cases within the last three year.
Of the large number that were appeal
ed to the Circuit Court, his judgment
in all but two has been affirmed. Can
any magistrate produce q better
record ?

We take great pleasure in recon-
mending to the favorable notice of the
| travelling public the Mckenzie House,
kept by Messrs. Fuqua & Hillsman.
These gentlemen are polite and atten-
tive to their guests, have comfortable
roe,ns, clean beds, and the best the
market affords on their table. We
know whereof we speak from pleasant
experience during the past week.
One night last week q beArdless
youth, en- route to visit to his lady
love, stumbled over piow in front of
a certain grocery; in endeavoring to
regain his equilibrium, he fell against
some empty barrels, which, rolling
over, precipitated him into the gutter
that was half full of mud and water.
She looked for him in vain, for he
spent the night locked up in his room
studying up an apology for failing TO
meet his engagement.
We are in glorious luck. Last week
We were the fortunate recipient of
beautiful pair of white Legho-n chick
ems, presented to US by our kind and
partial young friend, Master Donald
Smith, of Macon, Ga. They reached
us safely. and are now the centre of
attraction Of all poultry admirers in
Milan. The Leghorn is said to be the
hest layer of almost any breed of
chickens in thu, country, besides being
decidedly the prettiest and most grace
full. Donnie, accept our honest. hearty
thanks, and draw on Us at sight for
any favor in our power to grant.
We went to Nashville last week,
during the food in the Tennessee riv-
err. and while crossing this inland sea
had the pleasure of sailing in the
flagship of Commodore Hartsell, of
the Southern Express Company. 1t
was an exciting and unique experience
fighting driftwood, branchcsof trees,
vines, etc, until We got into open
water, when We made railroad time
for several miles down stream to john
sonville. We will not soon forget the
MARY L. Pruitt" and her gallant
crew. The river was then some twelve
miles wide. Since then it has fallen
rapidly and trains are now rnnning
regularly. And, by the way, the off,
GERS of the n, C. d St. L. road deserve
and are receiving the thanks of the
travelling public fortheirpromptand I'M
firing energy in transferring passengers
during the high water. Trains met at
the river regularly every day, and, at
great expense, passengers were trans
ferred and conveyed to their destina-
ton without extra charge or accident.
Under its present management, this
road is one Of the most successfully
conducted and safest in the country.
The Humboldt District Conference
of the Colered NJ. E. Church of Amer

but is an independent body, has its
