EDITOR Observer, Sir. - We
deem it highly expedient, tba,
you and your many readers should
hear from us; or at least al
Blanche and Cold Water keep
blowing their trumpets, why
should not the sound of a trum.
pet be heard from this vineyard,
where all is beauty, peace and
loneliness, and good freestone wa
ter abounds beautifully. The
health of the community is gen.
orally good. So far as we have
been permitted to survey the sur.
rounding country, we find the
farming element is busily epgsg-
ed in getting out their corn and
cotton. Every body seems to be
preparing to be sweet this winter,
as there are in operation two large
molasses factories--one owned by
D. NJ. Sanders and J. II. Blair,
located on the farm Of Meesrs.
Sulcer, three quarters Of q mile
due west Of Shiloh church; the
other located on Col. Vim. Robin
sons farm, one-quarter Of q mile
8 ,uth Of the sulphur well-it being
the property of Daniel Robinson.
formerly owned by Abner S.
Woodland. All are invited to bring
in their sorghum cane aud give
q fair trial aud be convinced that
they can make sweet molasses.
Then just as we ascend the top OF
the beautiful ridge, we come to
the place for everybody to bring
barefooted mules and horses and
get them half-soled. This firm is
carried on by J. R. Woodland &
Co. Then 60 q little further south
q hundred yards or SO, we come to
the place where the youth is in.
structcd, and also where the COM
munity is instructed in the word
of God by Brother Lowery. Then
from there we turn our faces to
the west and advance few hun
dred yards further and we come
to the place where every one
should have found out before this,
AMI sent in their order to have
their fall and winter shoes made,
as Mr.. Ben. T. Cole is going to
close out his stock of shoes and
quit the trade. The community
hates to give up its boot and shoe
maker, but if he gets to be our
next rel resentative he will pass a
law that we will not have to wear
boots aud shoes. This is the plat.
form lie will run on, if he concludes
to make the race. Mr.. Editor, |
wish you wonld take visit down
in this beautiful country some of
your spare moments and see what
a beautiful place we have. FRI d
the signs of The timee, there will
b. a great deal to do in the state
OF matrimony this fall and winter
Lest | may weary Jour patience,
| will close by saying, MIR. Editor,
if you think ills worthy Of place
in your paper you are welcome,
il not cast it into the waste bas

M AT the funeral Of Mary
McGcn, who, was so brutally
murdered by rejected lover IN
indianapolis, the officiating
clergyman took occasion 10 sug-
gest a restriction of the par
doning power in that State and
the adoption Of a law TO allow
seven out of a jury Of twelve
to convict, as the only checks
OH the murders which are be-
coming SO alarmingly frequent.
Two of the most atrocious MUIR
ders on record came 10 light in
that city last week, and the un-
easiness which exists among the
better class of citizens lest the
criminals escape the punishment
they deserve, shows that there
is a laxity in the laws which de-
mands such remedies as those
suggested.
