 RENFRow & MosELEY. f We understand some of the ladies of our town are willing to get up a concert to raise funds to buy an organ for the Sabbath school Such move would cer- ! tainly be commendable and would no doubt be crowned with success, and we should be glad to see the scheme carried into execution. .. It is remored that Capt. Joe Petty, our efficient and gentle ' manly sheriff will soon tender hIs resignation. We should be very sorry to see him do so; but if he should, no one could blame him, as the pay of the office, under the present fee bill is not sufficient to make any man liviug.
