Over The River.

We are dry-yeS, Ue1y dTy-but not OF
the kind that Patrick suffered with-s
spTinkIiDg from above is what is
wanting for good of stock, water,
Young ducks, &c.
Richard Browder and sister, have re-
turned to Hopkinsville, KY, their
home, after months visit to their un-
Gle, the Rev. r. G. Irvine. Richard
was highly pleased with Primm's
Spring, and we are badly deceived if he
is not aOcU pleased with some of the OPP
posite sex who spend their summer
months at that watering place.
The smell of fresh paint and lime
arc dnd Duck River station is a sure in
dicatiOn of an apsOGrd tendency in bus
iness-actually the place looks 100
per cent more attractive. "GO-it-boots. "
Hood Il Carrigau will take the "bull
by the borns," in the fut1re; they are
now partners i'll the butcher business
at the cold stand" opposite Harris
block.
Our energetic farmer, Sam Daimwood,
has saved the rise of 5000 bundles of
fodder his own pulling; and by the
''sweat of his brow" several tons of
crab grass hay, out of the corn field.
The cool nights have "shown up" an
old acquaintance, the hospitality Civ
en- by me was in the shape of bottle OF
charm.
Oh rheumatism! how sharp the pain,
but hon. 0nUe1lie1tt-shOuld there come
up war again.
The young beaux of this vicinity
have returned from Primm's, much i'm
proved. Says one of them, "mother
how can these pants be remedied?"
whereupon she answered "why, my
son, put a six inch splice in behind"
Many SOLeS were spilled at Primm's
Spring this season. -sh! be quiet my
Rev. friend! only mean shoe leather.
Bob Chaffin the fiddler. was an eye wit
ness.
Our friend Bruce Sattertield is again
1Ourishing the yard stick and handling
gallon measures, sugar and coffee
scoops, nail kegs, tin ware, bacon sides,
&C., DC, indeed we might truthfully
say everything that is kept in a first
class country store. He has opened in
his new and elegant house at Dark's
Station, and such stock of goods you
scarcely ever see in country Shebang.
All Bruce lacks of being entirely COM
Portable and at home is some one to
sweep, feed the chickens, and keep the
pillows and bed-spread properly adjust
ed. The presence of Misses j. and w,
of Columbia, in our neIghborhOod caus-
cd the young mon to bring out their
secOnd-handed paper collars and "shine
up" their brOgans. These young ladies
made q descent on what they thought
was a muskmelon patch, and the way
they destroyed the geutleman's pump

miss them
E. c. Irvine is driving beautiful pair
of "Maury Greys." All he wants now
is some partner of the tender gender to
hold down the other end of the buggy
springs it is thought that he is near
unto her.
AS l was walking-not down Broad
way, but toward the Station, an eYenr
ing or two ago, came upon "mill
boy" i'll great distress. His sack had
gotten off, and after staying and watch-
ing for an hour the lad got entirely out |
Of patience, so he thought of plan that |
no other mill boy ever thought |
Of; it was this: "Now, i'll pour the one |
half of this wheat out, l can put it on |
my horse, after which, I'll cut hole in |
the sack and by the hat full, pour tn, |
remainder in" 1t was the last hateful
be empted as I neared him. asked |
the cause of his trouble, and he an
swered, just like a little man, "Why
sir, my horse tipped his toe coming
down this rough hill, and sent me, bag
md att, over his head, and to tell you
he truth, sir, l wished the Overseer had
The whole of this road to work himself"
Now the reason did not tell that boy

spoken of End persOn-singular-b
'ause he only meant but the one, was
simply this~-I did not want to make
aim (the boy feel bad!
Grass shortening and not affording
good pastures, and mich cows are failing

The lovers of corn bread are begin
ling to smile and feel of the hanging
'ars with their thumb nails. The mea-
y-mouth millers will soon whistle over
he new toll of 1879.

The way to tell dry cOrn-feel it with
