little Burg is minus a representative
in our county paper, 1 hope the OPP
probrious epithet, presumptuous,
will be spared a de6utdnte in the lit
erary world.
Life at Prospect is like life at
most country places during this
season-undoubtedly and indisput-
ably dull as to society, though the
recent rain has endowed the farm
ers with more vitality and loquacity.
At any and all times a knot of men
may be seen on the Hill, the mems
haven of rest Tin other places called
up town, J discussing the quantity
and quality of their own and their
neigh Dors' wheat, corn, cotton, and
various other subjects alike inter
teresting to them.
Quite crowd of gentlemen, with
goodly sprinklIng of the fair sex,
assembled at the City Hall 1.-THE
Church a few evenings since pre-
pared to enjoy and appreciate the
good things which Mr.. John Town
send of Athens, Ala, said in his
talk upon Grange matters. Mr.. T.
is an elegant gentlemen and an
earnest, eloquent speaker; we hope
to have him among us often. DR..
L. Is. Harwell also "said his
say" during which he alluded very
touchingly to the want of success
he had experienced in making pri-
vate speeches. M desperandGa,
Doctor; there are just as good fish
in the sea as was ever caught" 1t is
needless to say that the Doctor, nat
urally suave and gallant, said lots
of nice things to the feminine por-
! tion of the audience. Rev. Thos.
Brown then addessed the people up
on the numerous benefits and advan-
tages of the Grange, after which
they dispersed, much edited and
benefited by the things they had
heard and by the things they had
eaten, which were "taken inn before
the speaking and which refreshed
the inner man wonderfully well.
Croquet is still dragging out an
existence here, though l believe it
has been discarded in many other
places. We had a very nice game
at Mrs. WIS Saturday where we
were treated to some very fine fruit,
more enjoyable even than the game.
We are indeed glad to welcome to
our town Mr.. Cal Lambeth and la
dy. They would be a desirable ad
dition TO any neighborhood and we
hope they may locate here perma-
nently. Mr.. L. wins and keeps all
hearts by his cordial, obliging man
ners, both at home and behind his
counter, while his intellectual wife
never fails to waken admiration
by her animated, interesting con
versation. May their stay in our
midst be extremely pleasant, and
wherever they go, may they olive
long and been happy"
We have a little diversion IN the
way of a serenade, but the party ev-
identity did not understand blow ing
music out of squash vine, and con
sequently that beautiful little ballad,
Come in to the garden, Maud,
And bring a stick or stone
Here's the biggest cat you ever saw
Craving a chicken bone
was quite murdered.
Miss Ella N, a most attractive
young lady from Bethany. has
been visiting at Mr.. Jno. WIS for
several weeks, but we regret to say
that her visit is now drawing to a
close. She is a favorite here and
all will regret to see her leave.
Miss Lee S., a charming little
Miss from Pulaski, is visiting Miss
Media NJ, of this place, and they
seem to enjoy freedom from
school tremendously. Well, let EN-
Three more weeks, and then to
books again
Being Of a considerate turn, III
now close, hoping something will
happen upon which / can expatiate
next week. SANS SoucI.
