 Parents who have pupils who should be in the primary schools will do well to notice the advertisement of Mrs. Thach and Mrs. Ezzell.

 --Messrs. Bradley & Ashmore have opened up new bee. f.market in our midst, and purpose, if they meet with the proper encouragement, to do le- gitimate meat market business, and by paying cash for their beeves and selling strictly for cash, they will be enabled to give the public the very lowest pric- es. Their shop is on Main street, near ly opposite J. T. Fowler < Co.
 --CoUNTY CoURT.-We stated in last weeks paper that County Court would meet on Monday Oct. 9th. Owing to the fact that Circuit Court did not ad- journ, County Court went over under 1 the operation of law for two weeks. So the County Court will meet on Mon day the 20th inst, and as the matter of making appropriations and levying taxes for the ensuing year will then be to attend to, all the justices in the county should take notice and be on | hand. Matters of the utmost import ance may come up, and every justice of the peace should attend.
 LOOK Our! Something new in Rus sellville! It is coming, and the public had better look out! Friedenbur'g new store is now open in Dr. Harkey's new frame store house. He is going to open up as handsome a stock of goods as he could select i'll the best markets of the United States. And the fun of it is, he is going to try and see how low he can sell things. The fact of the business is, Freidenburg is bringing goods here TO SELL, and the man woman or child who has money to spend will do we'll to see his goods and prices before fooling their money away elsewhere.
 Come and try me for l mean to sell at prices so low that you will be astonish- ed. FRIEDENBURG.
 We are pleased to receive the infor nation that the high school of Prof. Doggett is increasing in numbers and interest, and that the pupils are cvin- cingta degree of interest in their stud ies that is truly:gratifying. Tine prin- cipal of the school attributes this fresh zeal on the part of his pupils. in great degree, to the attractive manner in which the lessons are presented in some of the new textbooks introduced this session-so well indeed, are the new books liked that all who have incurred additional expense to procure them feel amply remunerated. Those who who prefer the old books, however, will be allowed to continue using them.

Denton, State Supt. of Public Instruction was the richest treat our citizens have boen favored with in some time. His subject was Popular Education--or education for the masses through the public Schools, and the masterly manner in which the speaker treated his subject, showed that we had the right man at the head the educational interests of our State.
