Murat Masterson and E. F. Bowers were
 at Verde yesterday, on their return from

 Morris Lindsay is an original character.
 His latest joke, when he drives up 10 a
 house with his market wagon, and the lady of the house steps out ana asks him what he has this morning, is tO tell her, "Rheu- matism, thuDderin bad too" We havnt heard of his selling Gay Of this new market commodity, though he VOWS he has more of ii on hanl than he wants to keep over win ter, and is anxious to get nd of it at any price.

From Walnut Grove.

N R. Stanton Esq, accompanied by Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. R. J, Holmes, have been in town n day or two, making purchases, aui visiting friends. They left to-day for their beautiful home in the lovely little valley of the mountains, regretting tha, time would not permit them to remain until Governor and Mrs. Fremont arrives, as they were quite anxious to see the great explorer, and his gifted wife, ''thc daughter of the great Senator" They will probably return for the reception on Wednesday evening, Mr. Stanton and his partner, MT. Holmes, are quite extensively interested in mines near the Grove and as they are ne- gotiating with C. c. Bean for working the ores at the Hoefer mill, his pres cnce is re- quired at home, hence the necessity for their going to-day. Crops at the Grove, he represents as rather light, owing to the lateness of the rams. but far better than they were last yeer or the year before.

Probably Fatal shooting at Chino Valley,

A mar came to town yesterday afternoon for doctor and reported that a man had been shot at Marions sheep ranch, at ol near Chino Valley, by another named Jeanison, or Jannigson, and that Brown would not probably live. Soon afterwards Jannigson arrived and gave himself up to the Sheriff. Dr. McCandless went out and returned to-day confirming the statement of tho messenger. He left Brown still alive, but with little hopes of recovery. Brown had charge oi 1iarion's sheep, and the other was his herdcr The shooting we learn, was about some trivial affair, and the
 prisoner claims Co have been iustifiable

JUSTICES COURT.-SOme boys
were brought up before Justice
Van Vacter the other day charged
with indecent exposure in public.
His honor was very lenIent and
made the fine merely nominal, as
this was the first offenSe. But here
after let us hope that persons who
have no moro regard for themselves
nor the public, than to appear in a
nude condition where they can be
seen, will be punished to the full
extent of tue law. We are informed
that tho matter Of bathing in the
pond near the factory has become
an intolerable nuisance, and people
living i'll the ncighborhOod make
great complaints. We are glad to
see the matter taken in hand by
the magistrates. Not only can
bathers in the pond be observed
from the houses near by, but from
the public road which is not above
70 yards distant. Besides, the
springs there have been a resort
for ladies' in the evenings, and they
would be wholly prevented from
paying their visits there with the
prospect of tho bathers before
their eyes.

The County Printing.

At their last meeting, we placed
before the Board of Supervisors oul
bid for the County printing, offering
to do it one year for the sum OF fifty
tour dollars. We made no contempt
able conditions or qualifications III
our bid, but left the award in a re-
spectful manner to the decision of
the Board We do not doubt our
figures were regarded low enough,
but our bid was not accepted, and
and the work was given to another
bidder. 1t may be that the piteous
whining exhibited in the humilla>
ting document appended hereto,
may have excited the sympathy of
some of the Board, and thus secured
to the suppliant the award. We
shall promptly publish the proceed
ings of the Board in full, so shat our
subscribers will be as fully informed
in county affairs as if we had been
successful in our application. Our
readers will see though we have
failed to be appointed the "oflicial
printer" we have not lost our self
respect by any such an application
as that copied below. Neither
in our empty vanity have We,
for the hundredth time, set up
claims for imaginary services ren~
dered by our extraordinary talents
to the worthy citizens of this county.
We append the following. which will
show ioI itself. Its paternity would
be manifest without any signature !: |
CANTON, Miss, July LIST, 1873.
To the Hon. Board Of Supervisors Of Madison
County, Miss:
We have the honor to ask to be appointed
official printers for the county. We re-
,pectfully suggest that we are entitled to
as a just reward for fidelity |

1ize this claim, and require us to compete |
'or that which Is justly due us, we agree to |
print the proceedings of the Board for One |
ear upon the following terms:
LIST. For the sum of one hundred dollars, |
payable quarterly.

going, We will do the printing for (4Sl |

ye will do the work for nothing.

An oriental traveller describes this
busy scene, witnessed on historic
shores: "Our steamer landed on IL
beach which was the port OF Anti
och, where the disciples were first
called Christians. There was no
ton at the waters edge, no people,
no wharf. The passengers and the
were put ashore in
which ran up into the sand.
A troop of camels, with their dri>
yers, lay on the beach, ready TO
transfer the goods into the inter
iOr. Among the articles landed
were boxes marked DR.. j. G.. Aver
& Co., Lowell NJ 1885,, U. S. A.,
showing that they contained mrdi-
cineS and whence they came. These
with other goods were hoiStcd on
the backs of camels, for tranSpor
tation to Antioch. Thus the skill of
the West sends back its me,;ics to
heal the maladics of populations
that inhabit those eastern shores,
whence our spiritual mamma came.
