Our town continues to improve, and
mechanics get little or no relaxation.
It is estimated that over so, 900 head
OF fine sheep were imported into this
section in the last few months.
The Northern Presbyterian Church
is IN course of erection. Its architect
ural design is quite pretty.
We have a brass band, too, that
promises to gain many musical tri-
umphs as four of the members are old,
reliable tooters.
We have an amateur minstrel troupe.
and Tuesday night they gave their first
entertainment, for the benefit of the
brass band, and it proved a very fair
success.
The young folks of this community
are AGO uiring the poetry of motion un-
der the tutelage OF that gentleman of
renowned elegance, Prof. w. B. Clark,
of Austin.
The literary element have completed
their organization under the name and

w. T. Powell, president; P. A. Lacy,
secretary, and DR.. II. G. Morris, treas

Cotton shipments to date this sea-
ION have been 3705 bales, against 5063
bales last season. Last season, how
ever, we had probably 1000 bales from
the Elgin neighborhood that properly
belonged to the Central road.
The horny-handed pursue the tradi-
tional even tenor. Corn planting is
going bravely on. The acreage of
wheat, oats and other small grain is
very largely increased oyer last year.
This is not astonishing when we re-
member the heavy yield last season on
some farms, Of forty bushels of wheat
ITO bushels Of oats to the acre.
The wide expanse of green, since the
young grass has sprung into life again,
Is truly lovely to look upon and in q
short while we will see thousands of
head of cattle from the west and SOUTH
west grazing upon it preparatory to
shipping for the great Eastern markets.
Then we will have flush times in Tay-
Jorvilie. ]. A. M.

Bayard Taylor says that the secret

unfailing appetite, a capacity for smok-
ing tobacco interminsbly, and eight
hours good sleep every night. So i'm

A. NJ. Clapp, OF the Washington
Republican,, says that in 1867 he was
present at an interview in the Gayoso
House, Memphis, between the late
Benjamin +. Wade and Gen. Forrest,
the Confederate cavalry leader. They
were discussing the political situation
and Gen. Forrest was solicitous as to
what Congress intended to do with the
Southern States. To one query, Mr..
Wade replied: ''We would much
rather meet you on the battle field
than in the halls of Congress" It
Is not improbable that few of the
Republican statesmen" of this day
are of the Same way of thinking.

The old-time courtesy of the White
House Is revived by the present occu-

the Presidents carriage would be sent
for her whenever there was a State
dinner or reception. She was impov-

thrift son, but her friends never per-
mitted her to know want. Navy Off
GERS brought to her shawls from IndIs.
Her satin turbans were the gifts of
friends; the necessaries of life were un.

charities as she did homage, as her due,
and to the end of her long life main
tanned court and enjoyed the respect
