mediation, Lord Beaconsfield is pre-

the question of declaring war for the
defence of British interests. The

Our confrere, John E. Helms, of

sincere sympathy in his present af
Fiction. His loss-the wife of his
bosom, the love of his young man
hood, the companion and consola-
ton OF his maturer years, his coun-
selor, adviser, friend, the mother of
his children-is too sorrowful for
utterance. We would not further
invade the sanctity of his feelings
by any vain offer of con ISOLATION.

If you will be so kind as to give mo n

and give, to the readers of your paper, a
few thoughts that forced themselves into

great lamp of the world was withdraw

among other people. ! had just return
cd from walk. and seated myself in the
hall, when began thinking about the
crops; of course examined our own
first and soon had the consent of my
mind that, SO far, they were good Then
it was impressed upon. my mind with a
force could not repcl should be thank
cciving presents from earthly friends,
without feeling grateful to them in re-
turn. Then, if this is the case, how is it
possible that we can receive the richest
gifts ut the hands of God, and not expe.
riencc any grateful emotions in our
hearts How often has the English Ian
guage been ransacked and torn to opicccs,
by man, for the purpose of findings sem
tenco that would beautifully express his
obligations, in connection with n present
received from friend earthly of course
Yes, this has been done, and when, too
the motives attending this present were
of an impure nature. But, to return to
my thoughts. After | had fully exam
ined our own crop, and acknowledged
my thanks for the same, turned my at
tenton to those surrounding US. Hap,
PLY | found them in the same condition
as our own-all fourishng and looking
well, so far. Then | asked myself the
question, "Do they all, who have good
crops, thank God for the same p Echo

it was. Yes, | knew that there were men
in our county who could boast Of their
enormous crops, and curse their God

WANTMoRE, July 1873.

Mr.. EDITOR: l thought l would give
you description of our town. Want
more is 10 miles from Van Buren, at the
forks of the road. We have two dry
goods stores, have two drug and
one hardware store, and pretty hard on
any man that byes anything at it. We
have too blacksmith shops, and one lick
log, and the whisl1ey is so mean that
they will steal out of one pocket and
put in the other. They never fl ght
they arc afeard Of each other. We have
one hotell where you can get anything
you don't want. Mony matters is very
hard hear, though we had lively time
while plums and cherries lasted. We OK
changed dry-goods for such produce. We
are expectinga big trade when bIackber
rics and goober peas comes in. We've got
some of the best doctors the world ever
new; they only want to get to the sick
before their eyes is closed, and they will
ensure them to get well, if you will pay
in advanse. We suppose they got up a
petition, hear, to John Burrow to be.
come candidate for the Legislature, and
not ono of these gents went to tho CON
ventlon they was afeared they might
miss selling plow-point, or a glass of
goobcr peas, tho they are good southern
men of northern prinsiblc. 1t is said
there is some democrats in this region,
who will vote the radical ticket, and at
same time their namo has been scratch
ed from the pole-books, several. times,
by that party, when they was in power.
If they doc, we can safely apply the old
adagc, if you want to make hound
love you, just whip him." Mr.. Editor, |
am an crphan-boy. In my fathers life
time he told me to always be on one side
or the other, so the party would no
WHARF to find mo; and he said to try and
be a democrat, and it don't stranc me
one bit.
Now, Mr.. Editor, try and get some one
to come hear and publish paper. We
want one as much like the wish mans
pole cat as possible, so he will SCOT all of
us. We can furnish him with all the
vegetables and hog, ,joles he wants, and
when goobcr-peas and sweet-potatocs
comes in, he can do lively business.

consideration of which the Band pledg-
ed itself to play for all homo entertain

And
Whereas, A large per cent. Of those
subscribing, have either repudiated their
subscriptions, or grumblingly paid the
same, until the actual receipts from said
subscriptions afford but n meagre sup
port to the Band and
Whereas, We believe we can mako a
better support for the Band by stopping
the subscriptions, and charging for our
services, thereby making the Band self
sustaining therefore,
Resolved, That we return our sincere
thanks to those of our citizens who have
kindly given us their cheerful support
in the past, and that we appreciate, and
will not soon forget, the libcrality and
public spirit that prompted the action.
Resolved, That the Subscription Lists
be called in. and the collection of them
stopped, and that an assessment of so
much per capita be made on each men,
Der Of the Band, for the purpose Of de-
fraying the incidental expenses of the
same, from and after the first of August,
1878, and that q rate of charges be fixed
for playing upon all public occasions,
ETC., etc.
Resolved, That the Secretary be re-
quirod to make out list of all persons
on the Subscription Lists, who have
checrfnlly paid their subscription when
ever called upon, and that the same be
preserved, and posted in a conspicuous
place in the Band Room.

Washington dispatch of the 14th: A
lady living in England has made applica
ton for three valuable swords, formerly
the property of Gen. Twiggs, but which
were captured by Gen. Butler when he
entered New Orleans during the war.
The swords were sent by Gen. Butler 70
Prcoident Lincoln and deposited by his
successor, President Johnson, in the
vault of the treasury for safe keeping
They are valued ut S35 600. One of
them was presented to Gen. Twiggs by
congress for bravery during the Mexican
war. The scabbard is of pure gold and
the sword-hlt is of solid gold, brilliant.
ly set with diamonds. When Gen Twiggs
ran away from New Orleans at the ap

swords behind, but sent letter to II

her to obtain them. Soon afterward
Gen Twiggs died, and the lady who
now lives in England claims the swords
as her property and has made formal ap-
