Eiaor Herald:
Miss Cassandra Jackson, an accom-
plished and charming young lady, of
South CarrolltOn, was the guest of her
relative, Miss Lourate Cox, near Bu-
ford last week.
We regret very much to note that our
well known and esteemed friend, Mir.
George Marks. formerly one of the eili-
cient blacksmiths of Pleasant Ridge,
has relinquished business recently at
that place, and journeyed to the high
flmed-silver-bOund city of Leadvillc,
where il is presumed he will make his
future home. AS Mr.. Marks was very
fine smith, and Il gentleman of hign
moral standing he will doubtless be
greatly missed in his profession and
social circle of that community. Sue
cess to him.
The Rev. J. :. Coleman preached a
very fine sermon ut Mt. Carmel last
Sabbath, to u large and attentive audi
ence. His text was this: "Goung men
be sober-minded," and notwithstanding
the excessive heat of the day the sub
iect WAS given due deliberItion, and
was one of the most practical and inn
pressive sermons to the young men we
have ever heard-fraught with all the
commencing excellences Of speech, and
sacred realities tending to the perilous
and Inconsistent course perSued by the
masses of young men. Revo!ver-car-
riers, card-playcrS, novel-readers, &c.,
were all pictured, and so powerful was
the sensation of this discourse indeed,
that the impression thus created will be
n deep and Fasting one. He will give
another lecture on the first Sabbath in
September, the subject of which will be
.'l'he girl of the period" Everybody is
invited and would do well to attend.
; Mr.. Anderson johnson, of the Green
river neighbOrhood emroute TO your city,
spent Sunday, the guest of l.. @. Hoover,
of the Hill. He reports crops in that
section of Davies as being very indif-
ferent, caused by the recent drOuth.
We think Hoover Hill would gladly
''hee the wrath to come" Just ut this
time, but the chiggers and ticks won't
let her.
Messrs. Rogers Il Jewel were at Louis
vile again last week, interested in the
sales of their tobacco. MeSsrs. Ford X
Hewlett, of Pleasant Ridge, have just
returned also from that place, and re-
port no material change III the market.
The later having pressed and shipped
about La, 800 pounds of the weed this
season.
Mr.. &. III. Hoover, of this community,
was thrown from "a mule one day last
week and was somewhat bruised up,
but fortunately not seriously injured.
The accident of Mr.. HIS gettingthro
was unquestionably caused by zone end
of the brute getting too high for the
tother," which is the peculiar charac-
teristic of the beast.
Miss Clara Bell, very pleasant
young lady, of Buford, spent last week
ut LiVermore, visiting friends and rela-
! tiyes in that community.
The most brilliant entertainment of
the season was moonlight party given
at Pleasant Ridge last Monday evening.
| The following gentlemen, viz: MeSsrs.
J. johnson, L. Hewlett and ID. Ford,
were the polite, self-appointed COM
mittee who made all necessary arrange
ments for the enjoyment of their guests.
About sixty young ladies and gentle
men were in attendance, and as the
moon Lit up the little grove with its
brightness and splendor it was a charm
| ing scene to behold indeed. Croquet was
played, melons served, and in fact every
I thing was perfectly exquisite, but we
fear an appropriate description of the
evenings enjoyment would take up too
much of your valuable space. The pic
nic at that place last Saturday was also
perfect success in every respect.
Crops in dissection, Notwithstanding
we are needing more rain, are looking
very well. COon's are destroying corn
very rapidly. Farmers generally are
done cutting their meadows, which were
not as heavy as usual.
The election passed off with unusual
quietness at the polls in this district,
| (Butord) and the Democrats performed
their duty to perfection. Not exactly
SO in electing teacher at our school
house (Saryess HID. Last Saturday we
had a returning board, an armed force
guarding the polls, and as much excite
ment as ought to have been mt irregular
( Presidential election. Oliver King was
I elected by an honest majority of two
votes, and will conduct the school at
| that place this fall. Chas. Ralph was
his opponent.
Miss Emma Elgan, of Shelby county,
is, visiting relatives ut Pleasant Ridge
this week.
We no longer hear the business like
hum of f.. G.. Hoover & Co.'S mill nj
Baird's Valley, near Beda. They have
sawed ont their contract mt that place,
and will locate elsewhere soon.
Guess you will think, Mr. Editor, that
items are scarce down this way. More
