PgRsoSAL.-Dr. Lyd. Smith.

Saturday last looking for hands
to work on his plantation, near
that place. He wants good,
industrious hands, either white
or colored. There are a num-

DR.. Smith says nearly all OF:
them need some help.
They TAKE IT STRAlGHT.-Chap-
pell Hill has lately became some
what metropolitan by the estab-
lishment of no less than four
barrooms. Until this change was
made the consumers of bug
juice were compelled to buy it
as medicine; it was served out in
tour aud six ounce phials and the
indiposed individuals who took
it had became SO used to taking it
straight that even now, but few,
if any of them ever think of TAX
ing any sugar in theirs. This
only goes to show the force OF
habit; here in Brenha,n they
take sugar.
GRACEFULLY Ref RES. II The
many acquaintance OF our
esteemed and particular friend,
Judge Steve Hackworth, will no
doubt learn with unfeigned
pleasure that the special cor
respondent of the Galveston
Neaos at this place reports that
he, Judge H;lckworth retires
gracefully" from the Office OF
postmaster. 1t is no doubt well
enough to inform the ontside
world that a Federal Office
holder retires gracefully from
the public crib. Those who
have the pleasure of a personal
acquaintance with Mr.. Hack
worth, know that he is a graceful
and good-looking gentleman,
who has acquired quite a local
reputation for the suavity of his
manners. We have no donbt
but he will soon again be a
candidate for public favor but
our high appreciation OF his
many virtues in private lite
leads us tondly to hope that his
usefulness in that walk may not
be disturbed.
