BOLTON ITEMS.
G.. WALKER.
BY " JOSH. F"

We would appreciate good rain just now.
No services at either church last Sunday.
Our town and community was never healthier
than at present.
Our Magistrates Court has been doing a land
Office business for the past week.
We failed to hear anything pro or con regard
ing the crops the past week, and presume every
thing is lovely, &c.
Miss Sallie Peyton, one of Raymond's fairest
daughters, is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. z.
Withers.
Miss Matte Shields one of vicksburg's favor
lite daughters, is the guest of Maj. c. 4 Walton
and family.
Miss Mollie Capers, the accomplished daugh-
ter OF Mrs NJ Capers, arrived from 1aZoo City
last Wednesday.
Mrs E. h Myrick and Mrs s. h Myriek
in company with their mother, Mrs. Belle
Knapp, left the IL P NJ train last Thursday
for Virginia, where they will spend the summer.
The Walton House had an immense run last
week, and the heart of the proprietor thereof
was made glad.
Mr.. j. f. Smith and wife returned last Thurs
day morning from their visit to friends and
relatives in Alabama and Tennessee.
We are informed that the ladies of the Meth
odist and Episcopal Churches, who had stands
Thursday, realized very handsomely for their
respective churches.
We, with that modesty peculiar to us, return
our most grateful thanks to the Nicksburg Daily
Herald and Daily Commercial for the very com
Pllmentary notices given Us and our paternal
ancestor in late issues of their respective
papers.
Mr.. ]. Loss Walton arrived last Thursday
from Plttsburg, Pennsylvania, where he has
completed his arrangements for the manufacture
of his Patent Window Protector and Ventilator.
Hurry them along, Johnnie, will all take a
few.
Mr. Frank Hammett brought his family out
from Nicksburg last Monday evening, and will
board them at Mrs. Henry's, the remainder OF
the summer unless "BrOve John" should put in
an appearance, in which event, Frank says he
would get further.
We return thanks to that enterprising gem
tleman, Mr.. A. c. Tuttie for a copy of his direc-
tories which embraces Nicksburg, the promi-
ne4t stations along the Y. Nj. K. t., also Port
Gibson, Yazoo and Tallahatchie Rivers, Missis-
sippi River and Bends to Greenville, and to
Grand Gulf 1t is certainly a very complete
business reference of the above points.
The most perfect formed piece of horse flesh
we have ever seen in this section of the country,
in town last Monday, and was mare colt
about four months old out of Maj. Robinson's
sorrel mare by J. p. Withers' thoroughbred
stallion, Sir William. 1t Is certainly model
and why We can I have more such thoroughbfeus
in place OF the scrub stock frequently seen
on our plantations, is a mystery we cannot
possibly explain.
The brick work of the Withers & Black
building has just been completed, and reflects
great credit upon the contractors, Messrs. Min
ter Il Tanner. 1t is certainly very handsome
piece of masonry, the front especially being
gotten up in a neat and attractive manner. Tbs
wood work is all that remains now to complete
the job, when finished, will prove an ornament
to our thriving town.
Our items would be incomplete were we to
omit mention of great galla-day last Thurs
day We allude of course the grand Reunion o.
of Withers Artillery. 1t was evidently one OF
the grandest and most successfully managed al
fairs that has occurred in thriving little vii
lage for 10 these many years, and will long be
remembered such by all who were
fortunate enough TO be prest, it would simply b.
impossible for US TO go into details rs time and
| space forbids us TO make any such undertaking
Suffice to say that we believe every one enjoyed
/ themselves to their hearts content, and we are
positive OF hearing more than one say, "BoltOI
certainly knows how te get up good. barbe'
