/ pie of the nauseous order, call it r
freshing, but we have a theory OF on
own, that DAYS dyed deepest in II

bluest of skies, with the loudest rap

: of perfume, are the best for us, and 5
from the fragrant cup of white lille
to the delicious sweetness of honey
suckles, let us pour our ibatlon win
to June, for she alone of all her sister
has kept faith with us. Fragrant
roses, crowned with Daphne, she ha
come to us the same bright genial june
that we have loved and known eve
since. We love the glowing, dazzlin
warmth of a summer Idyl.
We regret to learn that Mr.. w.
Ingram lost his fine Jack, "Jim Fisk
Jr.'' last Friday. He died, it is sup
posed from eating too much greer
wheat. This is a great loss, not only t.
Mr.. Ingram, but to the country, as h.
| was the finest Jack in the county.
DIR. Walter S. Parker accidentally

been sent for, and is hourly expected.
| Miss Mary Harris, who is deservedly
| a great favOrite in society, and lady ri
| undOubted courage, killed alarge snake
in her fathers lawn a few days ago. II
was of a spotted or pieded color, and
| seemed to be very vicious. Great praise
is due to Miss Mary for this daring feat.
His snakeship had just put to flight
another lovely blonde, whose voice
would bring down the angels from the
skies, but had no charms to sootbe this
savage reptile.
Mrs. Judge Elijah Walker, of Savan-
nab, Tenn, is now on visit to her Sis
ter, Mrs. J. G. Ingram, of our village.
She intends remaining some time.
Miss Lizzie H., lady of fine culture,
fascinating manner and brilliant CONVEX
satlonal powers, has returned to her
home in this vicinity, after brief Wis
it to Nashville.
We are glad to see our bright -eyed,
sunny faced, genial young friend, J. d,
Barrow, on our street again. Johnnie
has just returned from Forest City, Ar~
kansas, where he has been living all
winter. He brought with him two char
ming young ladies, Miss Mollie Daw-
son and Miss Sallie Lanier, both of For
est City.
As our Town Constable has resigned,
we would like to call the attention of
our Board of Aldermen to the cOndi-
ton of our public roadways and side
walks. They all seem to have suffered
from some sort of cutaneous disorder,
and all, in aggravating Jumps. We
nearly broke our swan >like neck few
days ago while gazing after our sweet
heart, by stepping down an unexpected
declvity OF one foot. They are all over
town, and at night fellow who has a
"brick in his hat, " must either get iII-
ted into star showers, or stamping his
toe, come down 10 a study Geology, by
skinning his nose. This thing ought 10
be Investigated and otherwise bedeviI-
ed.
In passing down the streets a few
night ago, we saw an individual hOl>
ding on to the gable-end of a hOrseblock,
whose stomach had become insane with
a desire to turn itself inside out, and
was going through a series of gymnas ic
exercises, eminently designed to bring
it into training. Being of a sympathetN
ic nature, we enquired: "Jack, are vGu
sick?' He looked at us with calm Sc,
verify, and then with voice cracked
with emotion, h0wled, "DO you think l
am doing it for nothing, Cold your"
Jack was on his returnfrOm Reynolds
burg.
The grass in the Barrens, eight miles
south and west of here is looking beau
tiful, and is said to be better than it has
been for several years. The woods
were burnt early in the Spring, which
p y
for grazing than red clover. In travels
ling through that region last week, we
saw large numbers of cattle, that be-
long to citizens of Many, which were
fat and fine, running at will, and all
that is necessary to keep them together
IS little salt.
CrOquet is gradually On the wane,
and we understand it will soon be sup
planted by base ball club, which has
lately been organized, and composed of
some OF the most nimible and agile
young gents OF this vicinity. We think
they will soon be able to compete with
the Columbia and Culleoka CLUBS.
Squire Lewis q. Danier, an old and
highly respected citizen, living near
this place, informed US that he owned
an Old negro woman once, the property
OF his father, who lived to be very old,
and seemingly retained her youthful
activity, up to the time of her death.
She was the mother of thirty-three chill
dren; his first child was born when she
was only thirteen years old.
One OF our citizens, OfundOubteG va
racity, says he owned hen some time
ago, that laid three full sized, well form
ed, hard-shell eggs, during one day and
night.
Prof. Finney, who assisted Prof. Ham
iltOn, during the last session OF the
school at the Institute, was elected Pro-
lessor for tho ensuing session, begin
ming August OH. He has just returned,
and accepts the charge bestowed upon
him. Although his sOjOurn in this COM
muuity has been of short duration, he
has by his many excellent qualities,
christian virtues, and gentlemanly
bearing, now a large circle of warm
hearted generous friends. We sincerity
hope The patrons of this school may eX-
tend 20 him the patronage he so richly
deserves.
We noticed whilo walking down the
streets few evenings since, the sign
Of "Private Inn," which has been re-
Gently opened by Mrs. Malvina Hunter,

ident that perfect satisfaction will be |
given to all who may honor her with a
