Our village has been alive with
stock trades the last week. Mr.. j.
5. Jones has nearly a car load of
fine porkers for shipment, and he is
dealing very largely in the swine
this season. Also Messrs. r. H.
Ragsdale, w. D. Pack and w. j..
Rogers are buying and selling both
cattle and hogs. Pork is selling at
4 and D cents in this section.
Messrs. j. d. Baugh and John
Beasley of Pulaski were down buy
ing cotton last week. Mr.. Joke Ii.
Grove was down a few days ago
sampling some of our neighbors'
cotton, and we wish he would call
again and spin few. But we don't
look for him soo1, as our friend s
G. H. rather got the best of him on
the joke.
DR.. G. d. Butler was called to
see our neighbours, Mr.. Notes, little
boy this morning who got his leg
broken just above the knee. He
was carrying heavy stick of wood
down the hill and fell on the frozen
ground, the timber falling on his
leg and breaking it.
Capt. James f. Fogg took a trip
on the.cars last week to visit some
relatives in Elkmont, Ala. He was
a passenger on the first train to
pass through the tunnel, and this
was his first trip on the railroad
since the war. We wish him much
pleasure and good health, and that
he may entirely recover.
Mr.. Editor, please let me say that
there was no butter on the table at
the supper at the church is the rea
son why our reasonable friend OBJ
servator was not present. We will
prepare for him next time.

On last Thursday evening at
about 7 o'clock, Wesley How
ard, Esq, was united in marriage
to Mrs. Cynthia Whitaker of Shoal
Creek. Mr.. II. is one of our oldest
and most venerable citizens, and
we hope he may be permitted to en-
joy days of pleasure and sunshine.
Mrs Ellen Allen, of Lawrence
burg, the daughter of Mrs. Wilkin-
son of this community. was taken
from her mothers residence one
day last week to the asylum for the
insane. A little more than twelve
months ago, Ellen started on her
bridal tour with all the graces and
beauty of refined womanhood; but
few months had passed when she
became the subject of the most in.
tense suffering which resulted in in
sanity, She was one of the jewels
of this community. Her life was an
advertisement of the religion she
professed. We are hopeful that
she may be speedily restored TO
health Of body and mind.
Mr.. Editor, / have no disposition

good name.
He strains at gnat and swallows
a camel. He and those he repre-
sents have been endeavoring to
raise a great fog privately and pub
licly, in regard to my communica

All l have to say in regard to that
letter is, that it does not contain a
single ironical expression. meant

heart free from the influence of

says the supper was a complete sue

about 40 Y so feet, several window

glass gone, several seats broken,
