On last Thursday evening Mr..
John Johnson's little boy, accom-
panied by neighbor boy, was rid
ing away from the Postofiice at a
rapid rate, when he fell from his
horse, and it is supposed that one
of the horses tramped upon his arm.
The arm, though bent considerably
out of its natural shape, was not
broken, as was at irst supposed
We need not be astonished at this,
since the flexible and gelatinous
bones of very Young persons may
bend, while the hard, brittle bones Of
older persons would break if subject
ed to the same violent fleXions and
contortions. DIR. Carter 50 skillfully
adjusted the distorted arm that but
little pain or Inconvenience has been
experienced since the adjustment.

anything very rich.
Old Gen. Green has been waging
war with our farmers, but they have
about conquered him at last and
again wave their banners in victory.
Corn is looking tolerably well but
will not make a full crop. Cotton
is very much behind the average; a
humble bee can stand on the ground
and suck any blossom on it. Wheat
is nearly all threshed and has
turned out on an average better
thsh was expected. One of our
most enterprising farmers w. c.
Carter challenges any of his neigh
bors to beat him raising wheat. He
made on an average twenty-five
bushels per acre, which is of the
Fultz variety. 1t is vely fine. He
offers IL for sale at $3.50 per bushel

had his hair trimmed and his face
shaved and his boots BACKED by a
barber for the first time in his life.

first oysters. He has been sitting
quietly at home oil time and never
knew the luxury of having his head
ramsquaddled by a barber and
never enjoyed the exquisite delight
of the barber's itch before; but now
that he has tasted the sweets, his

Bishop McTyeire, DR.. Young and
perhaps DIR. Kelly will arrive in Pu-
laski on the noon train tomorrow
{ Friday to confer with the citizens
with reference to the establishment
here of a permanent high school
preparatory to the Vanderbilt. A
proposition has been made to them
on the part OF our citizens to make
the Vanderbilt a present of the
Giles College property for that pur
pose. The trustees who own the
property agree to sell it for this
purpose at nominal price, and we
believe the citizens will be liberal in
contributing their means for the ac.
of so important an
enterprise. This would not only
give to our male school the high
grade we so much need, but the
permanency and stability of the
Vanderbilt itself. Every citizen
rich and poor, whether he has chill
dren to educate or not, is interested
in this matter, and if the Vanderbilt
committee acceed to our PROPOSE
ton, every man must do his part
literally.
