LYNNEILLE.

During the last week the indus
trious people who planted their gar
dens have been in affection, while
the lazy ones have been congratu-
lating themselves On their mastery
inactivity, and saying they never
saw the use of beng in such a
strain. The farmers are making
rapid progress in turning over the
ground, and some few have planted
corn. The probability is that the
crops will be very late.
EsIGRANTs.
On Thursday night ten persons,
all of the family of Joe Harwell,
left for Kansas. They lived several
years with Mr.. Laird, and are re-
ported to have made $4,000. They
said, however, this State was no
place for colored people. and re-
solved to crafty their territorial
longings- The late war largely
originated in the desire to keep the
darkies out of Kansas, but it seems
they will crowd in anyhow. On the
night of the departure some hun
dred or two of the race gathered at
the depot to take leave. The whole
company resolved itself, for about
one hour, into a committee of the
whole for bowling, yelling and wall
ing. Then the cars came by, sweep
ing away the pilgrims, and their
friends dispersed in high spirits.
TRADE.
Besides the expectation of accl-
mated African production, there has
been a brisk trade during the week.
We get the following items from
our excellent railroad agent, Mr..
John Shields: Two cars of corn
shipped by Lindsay; three by John
Mitchell; one of blooded stock from
Altman; one of hogs by Stamps q
Co.; one of mules by Muse & Co.;
one of cotton seed by w. W. Cor
don, and four of lumber, or thirteen
in all, which is pretty well for one
week. People are getting so hun
cry for money that they will sell
anything. We mean in reason; for
we hope we have not yet got to the
condition of the man, of whom it
was said, that "for eight pence he
would sell the fee-simple of his sal
walton, the inheritance of it, and cut
the entail from all remainders, and
a perpetual succession for it per-
petually"
The personal property of Mr..
Fry, including proceeds of sale,
notes, &c, will be not far from
$4,000. He has 900 acres of land,
some of which is as fine and as well
improved as any in the county. 1t
is a fortunate thing for all con
cerned that there is such a man as
Mr.. Farmer in charge of the bust
ness. He intends to try to induce
band of Northern emigrants to
settle on the estate, and we hope
for the good of the community that
it will be occupied by an industri
Gus, thriving set of families.
BUSINESS CHANGE.
Our excellent and solid old friend
John Ferguson, who has been be
hind the counter for years, has sold
out his entire stock of goods to Mr..
Mack Compton, who has also rented
his store house. Mr.. F. says he
needs rest, and wants to kick up HIS
heels for a time. We hope he will
be refreshed by his proposed pranc-
ing around, and viii be able to make
his property more productive an
other year. His good, kind wife
and himself do not often live alone,
for their house is the home of the
homeless and the orphan, and it
seems a pity their large hospitality
should not be rewarded by large
prosperity. Mr. James Garrett, son
of Mr.. Larkin Garrett, is at present
clerking for Mr.. Compton.
