The Circuit Court discharged 4
rule against the sheriff for failure
to enforce an execution against
personal property, consisting Of
cotton ia bales, seed cotton and
corn, the defendant claiming that
they are exempt from levy under
the provisions Of the act Of March
13, 1872, (15 Stat. 229, Sec. 9 he
being an agricultural laborer.
1t is stated in appellants argu-
mept that The contract upon which
the Judgment was obtained bore
date prior to the passage Of the
act in question, contending that
such exemption could not be
claimed as against an antecedent
contract; but that fact does not
appear in the brief, and, therefore,
is not available to the appellant.
The question to be considered is,
whether the Legislature could
create new subjects of exemption
in addition to those enumerated
in the Constitution. The pro
visions Of the Constitution relating
to the exemption ofpersonal prop,
erty from execution are contained
in Section 80, Article 2. After
providing for homestead excmp-
tion on the land Of debtor, the
Constitution goes on to say: 10
secure the full enjoyment Of said
homestead exemption to the per-
son entitled thereto or the head Of
any family, the personal proper
ty Of such person of the following
character, to wit q: household fur

in the aggregate the sum OF tive
hundred dollars, shall be subject

is, whether the subsequent at

The WAY TO TALK.-A certain
farmer of our county was in our office
this week and we asked him about his
intentions in the way Of farming this
year. lie said he intended to plant
three acres of corn to every acre Of
cotton, and be planted the cotton with
the expectation Of not getting more
than 65 cents for it. He planted
corn enough last year to keep him
from taking lien this year, and also
raised his own meat. lie now begins
to feel like a free man cnce more:
and never intends 70 try the lien sys-
ten again that as long as u man
gives lien on his crop he IS the
slave of the merchant, and his chances
for freedom are less and less each
wear, until bankruptcy finally over
whelms him. We would be pleased
to hear OF u.orc Of our farmers taking
the same view Of things, for business
would then be placed upon q solid
basis, aud prosperity would soon
smile upon our land. Farmers: take
Il lesson from this mans experience.

gSeIeetsH Story.
TREASURY ROnlNCl.

Kittie Rayne sat in the Veranda
and whistled Within q Nile OF
Edinboro' Town., while John
Fen nvick sat in the parlof ana
scowled dercely at the portrait of
that young lady hanging over the
mantel. But scowling didn't seem
to have any effect on the portrait,
end bis anger seemed to have
about as much on the original.
The truth Of the matter, was,
there had been q lovers quarrel.
They ha2q been engaged for six
months. That was long time
for Kittie to keep her flirting pro-
peasities in check. But she had
done it, and congratulated herself
on the aiptory she had gained:
Why is it that just as soon as we
think We have ourselves under
control, something comes along to
tempt US, and in a good many
cases we fnd that we are not mas
ters Of ourselves after al. ! don't
know why is, | am suro. Kittie
didn't either. But just about the
time she began TO plume herself
on her conquest Oarl Davenport
came along, and straightway up
popped the old penchant for Airt-
ing. 1t seemed to her that she
couldn't help flirting with Daven-
port. He was handsome and jolly,
and there was something about
him which seemed to dare her.
She knew John wouldn't like it,
that people would talk, and that
her mother would institute q
course Of daily lectures-but she
kept on flirting.
John did care, and by-and:by he
spo:1;7a " ner about it.
You aren't jealous, ! hope ? she
said. Id never have thought
that OF you, John Fenwick
never!'
No, am not jealous:' he re-
piled. But | don't like to see you
so thoughtless. Would you like
to have me flirting with Miss
Powell, or Miss Covert as you
firt with Davenport?
oh, | shouldn't care the least
in the world she laughed back
Its real fun, John. Try it and
see.'
That was all the satisfaction he
got then. By-and.by he touched
on the subject again, and they
came near having a lovers guar
rel. But John, who had a horror
of lovers quarrels, had the good
sense to stop before they got tc
angry words. But now the quar-
rel had come in dead earnest. For
half an hour there had been a
tempest raging in the parlor
Kittie took up her position on
the 7eranda and whistled to show
how little she cared, and he
scowled. TO listen to her, he con
