E. Naff will soon start a Grange
store at this place. We knew that
the project was spoken of, but had
| not before heard that it was decid-
ed upon.
The little boys Of the town are
getting TO handling stones and
things in n dangerous manner
One little chap deprived n young
| fellow of his front teeth by a Shout
der shot. Another opened the side
Of another shsver's head with a
stone.
We had the pleasure of seeing
Mr.. Sewer McGdughey in our of
flee last Friday. Notwithstanding
the touch ofthe 'rheumatics' which
he experienced, he is booking well
and is brimful of interesting infor-
nation concerning the red men of
the mountains.
-"Darling, I am growing DID,"
lplaintively walled a young Greene
Vile gent the other night under
his lady-love's window. $50 am
l. growled n voice above, as the
old man gently raised the window,
and that young mans Sunday suit
was secondhand material right
away.
A copy of the new Baptist pa
per, THE Baptist Reflector" is be-
fore Us. 1t is n well printed, TWEEN
ty-eight column sheet, carrying
twenty-four columns of reading
matter. 1t is ably edited by Rev.
o. e. Pope, and shows a diversity
and hyeliness Of matter seldom
found in religious papers. $500
a year.
Our people are again discuss
ing the feasibility of establishing a
cotton factory at or near Greene
vile. Mr.. j. G.. Reaves, one of the
most liberal and enterprising citi-
zens of orr county, we hear, has
offered to give the site of his saw
mill, one mile southeast of town
and one thousand dollars for the
purpose, and many others are think
ing most favorably of the project.
Garry it to a successful conclusion
gentlemen. There Is money in it.
Some young men, in the 18th
District, received a very serious
scare a few days since. They
were returning home from church,
and ran upon a varmint, which
was inclined to show fight. 1t
would not move n peg for all their
shouting. They raised the neigh
borhood, being badly scared, with
hounds, and cautiously approach
ed the vicinity to find the game
had left for parts unknown. 1t
was a bear, or somebody was badly
mistaken.
AIR. Iren@us Ottinger, living
3 miles. cast of Parrottsville, cut a
poplar tree sometime since, ont of
which he obtained Is cords of wood
a saw log over - feet long, and
between two and three hundred I
shingies. Was about so feet to
the first limb in hight. The stump
measured from six to eight feet
across the top. Mr.. Uctinger is a
man of veracity and says the tree
must have been the abode Of six or
eight grey squirrels, that number,
or more of dying squirrels, and an
endless variety of insects.
Rev. Clement Richardson has
Won quite a triumph IN success
fully growing some very fair spec
linens OF cauliaower in his garden.
Old gardeners told him at the out
set that it was impossible TO cult
vaae the vegetable in this climate
bus he has demonstrated their
error. He showed us a specimen
last week and said that on proper
ly MANFRED ground he could grow
two crops n year and make it very
profitable. The ground to produce
them successfully, that is in quail
itvJsnd numbers, should be very
rich.
=Thos. Fletcher, a tramp, was
arrested at the depot yesterday
Fevening and taken before Squire
Gass. He was charged with hav-
ing stolen from Mr.. L. Link seven
dollars. Mr.. Lisk laid the money
on the counter at j. b. Brown &
Sons and it is supposed that the
fellow picked it up and made off
with it. His explanation is that
he found 1t on the sidewalk just
| outside the door and not having
seen it dropped by any one, he
pocketed it without making any
search for the owner. Mr.. Link
not bang present. the trial was
continued until one o'clock to-day,
and the tramp placed in jail for
safe keeping.
