o'clock p. M, by G. r. Tolly, D. G. w. P,
assisted by L. ?. Smith, D. G. c., after which
speeches are expected from the installing
officers The community is respectfully in
vited to attend...... our last commune
cation DR.. w. c.. Duckworth, who was
='iiis about hi:l s,rcs.,ises after night wes
severely bitten by poisonous snake. The
proper nntidote was administered by the
znmily physician, but not before the Doctor
suffered severely. Our fields are as notori-
Gus for grass now as they were fc- dust pre-
vious to the rain. but are promising in an-
prarance.....T The harvest season mas been
made enjoyable by luxuricut yield not
withstanding its onerous duties. Ncni g.
Guyton have piled their energies with their
usual zeal and promptness, and thereby
succeeded in threshing perhaps cighty-fiv
per cent of the grain of the township. -.
we have ascertained by careful inquiry that
there has not been greater reduction in the
area planted in cotton this year than three
to five per cent. compared with last year.
There is Mt least reduction OF ten per cent
Of commercial fertilizers used upon this
crop, but there is an increase in the corn
crop Of about four per ccnt. This is q move
| in the right direction, but would have been
better with greater disproporiion in the
two crops......C .Chesley Martin is said to be
one Of onr best farmers. The present con-
di!:c:, of his crop is proof OF the fact. The
fence question is discussed. 1t is estimated
that there is ON an average one-half acre
Of unoaelose' land to each head of cattle,
and that twelve or more head pass over this
half acre every day. Would it not he ecc,,.
omy to shut off the eleven and euclose this
lot for the one? Some are opposed because
numberof farmers living upon ridg, have
no water passing through the premises, but
we have only found three in our township
thus inconyenienced. There ere probable
more, but scare one in twenty. We rcfe,
to these two rcints, as they have hee;. ,a;j
down as premises in recent discussion.
among us, from which conclusions of Oh
preston have been, in our Judgment, erro
neously drawn.

COTTON BLooMs.

During the past week we have had quite a
number of cotton blooms sent US from diff
ferelt portions of the county which, show
that the crop Is not SO far behind this year
as was fcured n short time since. On last
Thursday, the 2Sth ult,, Mr.. Henry K.
Crawford sent in very fine stalk with g
fresh bloom on it, and boil the bloom
from which was shed, and must have ap-
pearcd as carly as the 25th of June. Mr..
p. Il. Brown also sent US bloom taken
from his field on the 25th of June. JOHNNY
Junkin sent in bloom taken from his field
on the plantation of Mr.. w. G. Watson on
the 2Sth of June. Mr.. C. A. Rced got a
bloom from his field of India Rust Proof
Red cotton ON the Goth of June. This is a
new variety OF cottoE introduced by Mr..
Reed last ;c- With very satisfactory results.
The field is very promising this season.
IL bloom taken from the farm of MFR. L. II
Wclborn on the 1st inst. vas brought us OIL
Monday. The recent rains and hot weather
have caused the crop throughout this Sec
| ton of country to improve very rapidly
within the past three weeks, and it will
now compare favorab1y with the crop 81
this time ia4lyear.

JAZZ DELIVERY.

On last Sunday morning about Q O'Clock
three of the prisoners confined i'm the An
derson Jail succeeded in making their cs-
cape through hole which they had cut in
the plank wall within, and in the brick
wall which surrounds it outside. This hole
WAS CT. in the western wall of the front
ioom' upstairs, ana the escapes were made
ny the prisoners letting themselves down
by means Of sheets and biankets tied to-
gethcr. Sheriff Mcconnell first discovered
the breaking after he awolse In the morning.
at Which time he found that e. p. Boze-
lnan, charged with passing counterfeit mon
ey; - Ellison, charged with robbing the
mail; and James Lawrence Smith, under
sentence OF one years imprisonment for
assault and battery with intent to kill, had
taken French leave of him. The only other
prisoner was cripple, and could not go.
A case-knifo was found near the hole, with
the evident purpose of inducing the belief
that it was the instrument with which the
cutting had been done but from the nature
of the breach in the wall, the prisoners
must have possessed better tools. A pur-
suit OF the prisoners was Immediately be-
gun, and about two o'clock OH Sunday
Bozeman was recaptured on the upper por-
ton of Rocky River. Up to the time of
going to press neither Ellison nor Smith
nave been heard of, though the search still
continues, and the parties will be captured
If they are in the County. Mr.. Mcconnell
is not oil culpablc for this escape, as lie has
exercised usual caution in Watching the
prisoners, and has put forth every effort to
recover them. It would be well to have the
walls of the front looms in the Jail made Sc
cure by iron bolts or bars which cannot be
cut through IN one night

The fare, such a. ii is, is abundant, mo

The beans are generally the large white

All the baking il done IN Iudely built
