AN IMPosTER.-A fricnd at Easlcy
Station has enclosed to lie, two let~
ters from Mrs. Elizabeth Smith,
dated at Youngsville Postoffice, Tala
poosa county, Ala, and directed to
tho Postmaster at that place, making
inquiries about one T. B. Smith,
who she says, is her husband, and
who deserted her last winter without
cause.
Smith lay around Easley for some
time, representing himself as a
widowcr, having recently lost wife
in Alabama, and endeavorod to
marry again. He also claims to be
a Mason, and frequently appeals to
members Of the fraternity for po-
cuniary assistance. lie is about
five feet nine inches in height, wears
a long rcd beard, which he occa.
sionally dyes black closes his eyes
when talking to any one, and looks
off in another direction when he
opens them. Since the recep ton of
Mrs. Elizabeth Smiths letters by
the Postmaster, lie has left tor parts
unknown. lie is doubtless base
impostcr, and wo trust our OK
changes will hand him around.

Capt. Nash, who is connected with
Air Limo Railroad at Central Station,
was shot at by parties in ambush, one
day last week, about four miles from
the Station, while riding in the
country. The ball passed in front Of
him, through the saddle and lodged
i'll the blanket. When fred at, Capt.
N ash drow his pistol and fired twice
at tho man as he ran off, and at the
same time was shot at twice by two
o iher men concealed on the opposite
side OF the road, who ran as soon as
firing. We hope these cowardIy
yillians will be caught and snmmalily

root OF the fruit, or rather in the ground.
which, in all cases Of the rot, was found
to be sour, causing fermentation and de.
cay in the berry. This was established
beyond doubt. and the apparently sim
pie problem remained Of determining how
the soil should be sweetened. The pro.
lessor recommended lime, sand, and va.
rious fertilizers, and never did the Gran.
perry season open upon more hopeful
set OF mon than were the growers few
months ago. Professor Taylor came
down in this county to hear the results
OF following his advice. There was some
thing amusing in occupying the position
Of spectator and listener. Old Captain
Webb tho cranberry king, siumped in and
sat near the door, and was made an hon.
orary member Of the Cranberry Growers,
Association before he could fairly com.
prehend what was going on. Lime had
been used more than ever before, and the
rot among the cranberries this autumn is
greater than ever was known. One grow.
or recommended sand, and his neighbor
at his elbow announced that il wasn't
worth continental; another gentleman
had tried plaster Of paris, and not Der.
ry was tainted; a red faced cnltivator
tried the same thing and declared his
crop wasn't worth gathering. The most
famous grower in the association inform.
ed the audience that somebody had recon-
mended salt, and he had taken out por.
ton Of his bog and sowed it with that
sovory fertilizer. Some time ago he went
out TO see how the vines liked il, aud he
might be hanged il there was vine left.
They were completely cleaned out by the
salt, and he regretted very much that he
couldn't remember the name Of the gen.
tleman who advised him TO make that ex-
pertinent. Another enthusiast solemnly
asserted that he had sat up with and
nursed small bog for seven or eight
years, and he had not AS yet gathered a
sound berry from it. He is still at it,
and, he has children growing up, there is
no telling how much longer the bog will
stand it. New Jersey raises one-hslf the
carnberries in the country. The area
under cultivation is about 5000 acres.
The crop for 1873 was some l25, 900 bush
els; for 1874. 5000 Bushels, and this
year the yield is estimated at ten or
twenty thousand bushels less. The stea-
dy decrease in the face Of the increase of
area is due to the devastation Of the rot
and scald, which is still uncomfortable,
and is likely to continue rage until, like
the potato blight, it shall have run its
course and exhausted itself.
