Burglars ran through two Fay
etteville stores Wednesday night
last week. We happened To be
there that night but took the pre-
caution the day before to fix a good
aii5i If we had not been SO noto-
riously, Systematically, diabolically
and alwayslcally honest, we might
have been suspected As it was,
however, not more than SOC men

Master Edward Woodward Wis
tied Pulaski last Monday with his
grand father. Col David Parsons,
and about noon he disappeared.
His grand pa was greatly alarmed
for his safety and had instituted
search for the young gentleman,
when he suddenly appeared and an
nounced that he had been up home
with Mr.. Bill Lewis to get his din
ner. OF course he was eXcusable.
What do those young ladies kneel
for at church? Their bright eyes
shine very gndevotionally over the
backs of the benches during the
prayer. The preacher prays a very
funny prayer-at least they giggle all
the time. 1t is very annoying to a
pious man who is looking around
to see if everybody else is as pious
as he is to be caught in his pious
work by dozens of bright eyes.
Everybody has wondered all the
week what Capt. Crow was dressed
up for and various have been the
surmises, until it was finally settled
by all that he was having his old
clothes upset for another season

Yesterday to be that it was because
he was the first to have green peas,
beans, potatoes, etc, for dinner Mon
day out of his garden.
Mr. Joseph H. Jones, father Of
our young friend Ira P. Jones, met
with an unfortunate accident on
Saturday, 5th inst, which came
near taking his life. He was thrown
from mule and his foot hung in
the stirrup. The affrighted mule
dragged him thirty or forty yards
and wouldshave killed him perhaps
but tor the fact that the girth and
stirrup leather both broke. His
head was cut and his shoulder and
hip bruised, but he is not consid-
cred dangerously injured.

We have again been elected Pres
ident of the Base Ball Club and no
titled of our elevation. How eva
nescent is all human greatness!
Here we have been lahoring under
the vain delusiUn Tor weeks that we
were already entitled to the emf
ncnt distinctions attendant upon
such transcendant elevation,an mad
quit speaking to common people.
Don't trifle with us, gents. II we
are king, pass in the scepter. Don't
mutate things so promiscuously,
but let us know whether we are TO
! be or not to be.
