This beautiful hot and cry day will spend
few moments in writing you. In the first
place allow me to congratulate Jas. Buford
on his success. But it was a close run.
Bill's friends made too much fuss; they beat
him by running down Buford As I said be-
man for another one. s'Gabe" made twenty
five votes for Buford by writing his famous
letter; and in answering the reply to it, he
got the wrong hog by the ear.
Bro. Settles has inst finished a series of
meetings here; but fear his work has been
in vain, as there is too much Hancock in peo-
pie now to think about religion.
Mr.. I. NJ. Morris and Mr.. Isom Smith got
into little unpleasantness last Saturday that
cost Mr.. Smith $500. 1t was an unfortunate
affair for the neighborhood.
Vulcan Switch shipped 81 carloads of lum-
Der in July and 60 so far in August-making
So 400 for Tom Allen.
I attended the great barbecue at Piedmont
yesterday. 1t was complete failure as far as
som ething good to eat is concerned; but the
speaking was good.
Uncle Isaac Will leave here on the 18th for
Virginia, to be gone two weeks, to see his
aged father. Any orders for lumber will be
promptly attended to by his superintendent,
Cicero Collins.
Hoping to have a safe and pleasant journey,
will bid you goodbye. UNCLE ISAAC.

man named Leslie, one of the best and brav-
est workman of the Iron Mountain company

touched of both fuses and sought shelter tn

heard. He returned to the drill-holes, not
suspecting that only the upper portion OF the
load was DISCHARGED While he was looking
down into the drillholes the dynamite ex-
plnded and blew him to pieces, throwing his
body feet into the air ard twelve feet from
the embankment. He was killed instantly.
He leaves young wife and babe to mourn MS
untimely loss. He was cut down in the
prime of manhood, being only about thirty
years Of age. In energy. courage, vivacitS
and skill as mining drill engineer few were
his equals.

=. u. Parham, messenger for the Southern
Express, is responsible for the following sto-
ry: While at Texarkana in the discharge of
his duties, he purchased some peaches of a
boy who was vending them on the depot plat
form. They were unusually large and fine,
being OF the clingstone order, and Mr. Par
ham devoured the first with great relish
The second one was even more toothsome,
and, after removing all the meat that was pos
sible from the stone, he placed the latter in
his mouth while he turned to attend to some
duty. Several times he felt something tickle
the roof of his mouth, and when at leisure
az ain he examined the stone carefully. Pro-
truding from one edge Of it he discovered
something that resembled a SPIDERS leg, and
when touched with knife 1t gave evidence of
life Mr.. Parham called to his side George
Stanton, an Iron Mountain engineer, and j.
r. Martin, agent for the Southern Express at
Texarkana. The stone was carefully opened
with knife, and there snugly imbedded was
centipede. It was in torpid state at first,
but the sunlight brought it into full vigor in
very few seconds, and it began to look
around for place of more safety. It was
placed under hat until bottle could be pro-
cured. It was forced into it's new glass prison
and securely corked with the intention of
bringing 1t to st. Louis. On the trip the bot
tie was accidentally broken and Mr.. Parham
was compelled, much against his will, to kill
his dangerous prisoner. It measured frac-
ton less than two inches in length.

One evening last week prominent citizen
of our city On his way from home toward Main
street, observed in the east what he supposed,
and so declared. to be the Star of Bethlehem.
He hurried in order to inform others, for fear
it might disappear. Sure enough, just before
reaching Main street and on looking back be-
hold it was non est. He was very much dis
appointed that others had not seen the glori-
GUS sight. Some of his friends doubted very
much that it was said star; but he was posi-
tive it was the same which guided the wise
men of the East, and was much enthused over
the matter. In the course of an hour the star
reappeared, when he called his friends atten-
ton to it. Sure enough, there was light,
quite large, in the east. Our friend said it
was the same he had seen before. A closer
inspection by more youthful eyes wiped out
the new sensation and determined the fact
that it was merely fire-ball on the end of
kites tail. Our friend felt sleepy about this
time and went home.
Further, young man who lives just west
of this place on coming in town saw this mys-
FERROUS star, and he enquir ed at the first store
he came to as what it meant. He was sorely
disappointed at the explanation.
Still another declared it was a meteor sus-
pended in mid air. And couple of lovers in
the vicinity of the railroad bridge saw this
light to the northeast of them, and took it for
a sign that the dissolution of the world was
at hand, and staid out nearly all night await
ing the final catastrophe. At least that was
the explanation they gave the s'old man, who
put various leading questions to them upon
their return to the family roost.
