Bay Stallion Maury HamiltOnian, years

Mrs. Sue +. Mooney adveTtises that she
will commence a school in Spring Hill on
the first of February. We have frequently
had occasion TO speak of Mrs. MONEYS
high qualifications as a teacher. Such a
com petent teacher deserves a good school,
and we trust the good people offspring Hill
will see that she has it.
Mrs. Johnson, a very aged lady, died. at
the residence of her SOn-in-law, Chancel-
lor Fleming, last Sunday morning. Her
remains were taken to CuIIeOka for burial.
She was nearly ninety years old, and was
most estimiable wOman-a noble Christi
an woman. She was a strong Methodist,
loved camp-meetings, etc, and raised up an
excellent family of children.
We are glad to see that our young friend,
w. w. Ogilvie, of Bear Creek, now going TO
school at the University at Knoxville, re-
Gently received the gold medal offered tor
the best display of military tactics. This
was a proud victory, considering the fact
that Wave had many finely drilled Compel
itOrS.
Among all the nice things sent us dur
ing the Christmas by our friends, we appre-
ciate none more than some delicious ap-
Piles presented to us by our friend, John w.
Medley, to whom we take this method OF
returning our sincere thanks.
We are told that there are agents in this
county persuading negroes to emigrate to
Kansas, offering them flattering induce
ments to do so. Some estimate the number
that will go at five hundred. Col. Wade
thought fifty on his were talking about
going, and would probably go. They had
better stay where they are, for they may
have to live on gTaSShOpperS in Kansas.
-MeSSrS. Shacklett & Co. will please accept
our thanks for two sacks of flour and two Of
meal. Those who ate il say the meal was
the best they ever ate, and the flour unsur-
passed.
