Two negroes engaged in fsticuff in front
of the European Hotel last Sunday morning,
but on the approach of the town constable,
escaped arrest by saying they were 'just
playing" 1t was the toughest playing we
ever saw, but then there is no accounting for
tastes.
Messrs. Gift & Lewis have received from
Middle Tennessee a fuIl-blooded young
Cotswold ram, weighing two hundred and
ninety-five pounds. These enterprising citi-
zens seem resolved to stock our county with
the best breed of sheep. Just such sagacious
enterprise is needed in this section
Yesterday our young friend Jake Kahn
was to have been married in Louisville, Ky.
He and his beautiful bride will take a trip
East, and then come hither to make Bolivar
their future home. A newly-built residence
is being handsomely furnished for their re-
ception. In another column an accomplish
ed Bolivar lady invokes the aid of poesy to
do honor to the happy nuptials.
Our young friend, Dick Nc CLARITY, former
ly of the firm of Ingram and Nc CLARITY has
gone into the grocery business at Hickory
Valley, having bought out his brother
at that place. Dick has had plenty of ex-
perience in this line of business, and his
energy and enterprise coupled with his
steady habits viii carry him through. We
wish him success.
Rev. John Phillips, colored Methodist
minister from LAGRANGE, came to town last
Saturday and helped Rev. Mr.. Cole the
pastor, in the revival services last Sunday
are glad to know that the colored people
have such safe and intelligent leaders as
Messrs. Phillips and Cole. Our white citi-
zens should warmly sustain every enterprise
that aims TO contribute to the religious and
educational Improvement of the colored
race.
Upon the advent of fall the white covered
emigrant wagons commence passing through
town, bound for that wonderful country
Texas, the marvellous stories of It's richness
having penetrated the valley of Middle and
East Tennessee and filled the people with
vague unrest and longing to leave their
native State, and try their fortunes ir the
far west. Our word for it after reaching
Texas, at least one halfwill wish themselves
safe back in Tennessee and the other halt
will be more or less disappointed with the
country. Better stay at home. Take it all
in all, Tennessee is the best country in the
world
! The fair visitant from Jackson, Miss Nan
ME Brooks, returned home last Thursday
much to the regret of her numerous friend,
and admirers. Her stay in Bolivar will evel
be remembered by some, and we only echo
the sentiments of all the young men her,
who met her, when we trust she will pay oul
town another visit soon. The charming anc
handsome Miss Maggie Coleman accom-
panied MisssBrools to Jackson. Miss Maggi,
is one of our most popular young ladies anC
we hope her visit will be pleasant.
Mrs. DR.. Waddell of Whiteville, last Sat
urday brought us tastefuIly arranged
bouquet of beautiful flowers, for which sh
has our Profoundest thanks. We noticed il
the bouquet beautiful double rose, quite
curiosity in it's way
We are glad to know that this visit t.
Bolivar Is personal proof that our friend
entirely recovered from her late serious iii
ness. She Is one of the most useful and dc
servedly popular ladies in the Whitevill
community.
