Mr.. EDIToR:-I have concluded
to drop you a few lines from this
part of the moral vineyard. Our
wheat crop looks fine, and bids fair
to yield abundantly, considering
the severe winter. There are but
few fields that have full stand, all
rather thin, but what it lacks in
thickness, it will make in fine grain.
The grain will be larger and more
plump and weigh more per bushel.
Corr is rather backward, but is
growing finely. Cotton looks rather
sickly, and some are blowing it up
and planting corn instead, which 1
think is a very good idea, as pork
and hominy will tell this year if the
war across the waters goes on. We
should raise all/our bread stuff and
meat, thereby enabling us TO live at
home and board at the same house.

The third quarterly meeting fol
Lynnville circuit was held here last
Saturday and Wellborn
Mooney presiding with his usual
zeal and dispatch. We regret to
know that this will be his last year
on this district as Presiding Elder.
We reluctantly yield to the powers
that be, and congratulate the Dis
trict that secures his services in
that capacity. As a Presiding Elder
he is thorough and but few can ex-
eel him; as a man, kind and cour-
teous. The Rev. Mr.. Pullman, pas
tor of the Pleasant Valley Station,
preached the opening sermon to an
attentive audience. Every interest
of the Church was carefully in
quired into-that of family worship
and Sunday schools receiving spe

We take the liberty to extract from
a private letter from Maj. Geo. T.
Altman, the great southern stock
man, fact or two which demon
strate the good he is doing his sec
ton and the south generally. He
has shipped to the Gotten States
alone since 10th August last III
Cotswold Bucks, ID Jacks, 10 stud
Colts, over 100 Berkshires, and 9TH
er stock. Many of these belonged
to his neighbors and he sold them
for them without charge. He has
orders that he cannot fill because
people in that country will persist
in raising inferior stock and he can
not procure such as wanted. Yet
he says of his section: $40 live
men, no portion of America offers
so many inducement to embark in
raising the improved breeds, suited
to the south-as the south is il
earnest, wants the best and prefers
buying here to going further north,
as our stock more readily accli-
mates" Maj. Altman takes 81 pa
pers, advertises in 10, in IL States,
and he says that it brings him more
orders than he can fill. His cor
respondence averages 70 letters per
week. He is certainly building up
an immense stock business. He
says there is a larger acreage OF
wheat in than he ever saw and peo-
pie are anticipating extra prices.
1t is looking well, but corn is late
and backward. Dr. Huddleston.
formerly of Wilson county, has
bought the farm formerly owned
by the late Milton Mcclure. He is
man of brains and money. Maj.
Altman clipped his sheep last week
and some of the Imp. Cotswold
ewes yielded 144 pounds. He has
a neighbor whose scrub ewes clip
about u pounds. He does not
think that Marshall will vote the
$4,000 to extend the railroad to
Lincoln.

A Sad Accident.
On Saturday evening Mrs.

On Saturday evening Mrs. T. j
Wells was driving in from the picnic
in a spring wagon in which were
nine children. In hitching the
horse one back strap was left out
of the loop on the shaft, and when
the horse started down East Hill
the wagon ran on him and forced
him to run. Mrs. Wells kept him
staight and the wagon from turning
over until he got to the foot of the
hill. There Mr. Neil McGrew stop
ped him. When the wagon stopped
suddenly it threw Lindsay, a
little five-year old boy of Mr.. Thos.
J.Wells, out upon the spatter ooafd,
and just as he fell the horse kicked
him in the right temple, SCATTERING
the bones very badly. The balance
of the children were taken out safe
ly and Lindsay was carried to
Sumpter and Lacey's drug store,
where Drs. SuInpter and Alternately
raised the bones in his skull and
dressed the terrible wound. The
fracture isjust below the base of the
brain. 1t was a wonderful escape
for the other occupants of the wag-
on. 1t was one of the most frightful
scenes we ever witnessed to see the
horse come pell-mell down that
steep and rough hill dragging nine
children after him and with ne one
but frail woman TO control him.
This is a very sad occurrence and
is a warning to those parents who
permit their children to run about
the streets so much, and it should
deter women from venturing out
behind horses unaccompanied by a
man, no matter how gentle the
horse may seem to be. This one
was Mr.. Conyer Smiths old buggy
horse. as gentle as a dog, never
known to run before.
Lindsay has not suffered as much
as expected, and although the frac
ture is extensive and dangerous, he
is thought to be doing WELL He is
a very strong boy and can stand |
more than ordinary children, and |
strong hopes are entertained that
he will recover.

Mr.. Jesse NJ. Neill had some de
Ii ahtful experience Saturday night.
Every body knows 4 mule, but Mr..
Neill knows a mule better than ever
now. Why, a mule will pretend to
be rs gentle as 4 saw-buck for
thirty years to get a good chance
to kick the stufiln' out of a fellow.
Mr.. Neill had one in his stable Sat
urday night, and it concluded to
have some fun. 1t tore the side of
the stable out and mada kindling
out of the trough and the stalls,
and then pulled the posts up by the
roots and scattered the whole busi-
ness around over the lot. He tried
to pacify it but it would bite and
kick and paw and squeal so that he
couldn't go near it. He stood over
the fence and talked to it awhile
and then got up on top of the
kitchen and tore his hair and
preached its funeral, but the mule
didn't seem to notice him. 1t would
walk around the lot on one fore-leg
and kick with the other three, and
then go back and tear off another
section of stable. Finally, the sta
bic gave out, Mr.. Neill sang the
doxology and went to bed, and the
mule kept East Hill Lively al night.
