FIRST cold snap will kill them all, causing
an almost total failure in our fruit crop
Tor next year.
Jas. Frazier, OF Dog Tooth Bend,

Among foreign arrivals since our
last Issue we notice Mr.. James Mulliken.
who comes from Lawrence county, this
State, to purchase farm and home I'M
latitude where grasshoppers dwell not.
Mr.. VI. is very much pleased with this
section OF country, and the chances Of
his becoming a citizen Of Pulaski county |
are good, he having about concluded TO
purchase the farm Of Capt. Cole BOren,
near Caledonia.
The Allons Dancing Club will give
their holiday ball at Stokes Fall on Fri
day evening, Dec. 2Sth, the invitations
for which are already issued. The mems
bers OF the Club propose "la!ing them
selves out" and making this the most
elegant affair of the season. The repu-
tatiou the club has established is suffi>
Gent guarantee tnat they will 10 all they |
promise, and the public may De assured |
that this dance will be par excellence.
AT meeting of the Womea's Tenn
peronce Christian Union, held at their
hall, last Monday evening, theT voted to
make themselves auxiliary TO the state
organization OF the same mme, and
! adopted It's constitution and bylaws,
with the exception that they reserved the
right to change their bylaws, without
approval by the state organization. Very
pleasant little addresses were made by
Mrs. Dr.. Wardner, of Cairo, and Mrs
John A. Waugh, OF this city. We will
publish a full list OF the officers of the as
ISOLATION next weak; lack Of space pre-
vents it in this Issue.
A number of boys who are old
enough TO know better, have been III the
habit OF congregating about the &. g. v.
Il. l.. depot, evenings, and INDUCING in
bosterous conduct generally. As usual,
such gatherings engender Ill feeling and
quarrcls. Last Friday evening a num-
Der Of the young men gathered, as cus>
tomary, when a dispute arose between
Edward Shipper and Fred Gregson,
which eliminated in a fight, and the re-
suit was that Gregson pulled out his pls-
tol Tor rather his apology for one, as the
calibra was OF the mosquito slze( and
shot at Shipper, but owing
to the above mentioned insignlh-
canoe OF his "shooten iron," the
bail only penetrated Shippen's clothes.
doing no further damage than to ieariully
alright both of the youths. One saw
death staring him in the face; the other
the penitentary. We hope it may be a
lesson TO both. Young Gregson had a
preliminary examination before Squire
Carter on Saturday, and was bound over
IN the sum of $3.50, to await the action of
the Grand Jury at the next term Of the
Circuit Court. While We deprecate this
affair, we are inclined to think its occurs
renee will exercise wholesome influence
upon that class of Young America IN our
midst who seem to think brayado consti-
tutes bravery, and that obscenity and
carousing are the natural attributes of q
gentleman.
