1t has been remarked that never
before in the history of this section
was more and better work done than
within the last ten days. Crops
have passed from = very sorry and
almost hopeless state to a fair con-
ditioh. Ten days more will see the
farmers work done, then look out
for barbecues, picnics and outdoor
celebrations. Wheat is all harvest
ed and will not exceed one-fourth
of an average crop. Oats are fail
ure. Well cultivated corn and cot
ton are fine.
Mrs. Martin Ursry and Alvin
Hickman have been visiting the
Messrs. Martin in this neighbor-
hood for two weeks past. They
have been living In Texas for the
last twenty-five or thirty years and
express themselves highly pleased
with that state. They brought cot
ton blooms and corn silks that
were pulled on the oath of May.
Mrs. DIR. Mosely, of Bedford
county, is visiting her father. Mr..
A. A. Dickerson. She has been in
poor health for some time and
seeks her native heath to regain her
strength. She is in kind and ten
der hands, and the many friends of
her childhood will vie with each
other in showing her attention.
She brings with her troop of girls
and boys. We learn that Mrs. DR..
j H. Keeling is also visiting at the
same place. When she first arriy-
ed she was very feeble, but a few
days have served to restore her to
health. This sustains the position
/ have always held, that a lady
should never marry a doctor, for he
is very apt to employ his leisure
moments in giving her drugs, just
to keep his hand in.
Miss Alice Witt, of Bohemian, is
vislng at Mr.. j. G. Johnston s.
Bohemian was always popular with
our young men, but it will be more
so now. In fact, that section owes
US three or four of it's best look
ing girls.
Mrs. II. NJ. Fleming has been
visiting her sister at Columbia.
Thursday evening Mr.. O. n.
(Buck) Bowden was married to a
daughter OF Mr.. Walter Kuhn, (pro
nounced "Coon.") 1t was a run
away match and many are the puns
the boys have perpetrated at the
happy couples expense, one affect
ing surprise at a Buck stealing a
Coon in the summer time. Happi
ness to the newly welded pair.
Rev. j. S. Frierson, our old pas

Miss Morgana Higdon is still low

Senator Thomas w. Ferry, a christian
statesman of the republican persuasion
who figured rather conspicuously as
president of the Senate during the
stormy scenes growing out of the cleo
toral count, is in hot water. He was
over-ardent in his attentions to Miss
Cooper, the beautiful daughter of an
officer of the army, and attempted to
take liberties with her that the high
spirited girl felt bound TO resent. She
went to his room for the purpose of
horse-whipping him, but failed to find
him in. subsequently,, her father was
more successful, for he overlook the
amorous statesman and disfgured his
grave frontispiece with his fist. The
affair leaked out and Ferry denied the
assault. This induced the girls father
to publish the following spirited card
in the Washington Capital:
'Fo the Editor OF the Capital OBJ
serve that Thomas w. Ferry,a Christian
statesman and Senator from Michigan,
Indignantly denies that assaulted him
in his room at the National Hotel for
an offense which, so far as / am con-
cerned, shall be naEaeless. The scoun-
drel also says, or his friends saw, had
been drinking, and that they do not

is that L was unarmed at the time when
the assault was committed. He knows

Minnesota was visited by terrific
storms of wind and rain Thursday last
which destroyed great deal of proper

The upper Mississippi was within five
inches of the highest point ever known,
and sixty thousand tons of ice, on

Grant has spoken at last. He was
looking rather glum when the inter-
viewer reached him, but he succumbed
at last to the young mans genial mood.
He threw cold water on Garfield by de-
Ginning to indOrse his nomination or
predict his success. He was talkative,
though, on other subjects and did not
hesitate to say that the Democrats
would nominate Seymour, in his Opin I.
ion their strongest man. The tenor of
his conversation leads us to believe that
he is not taking a great deal of stock in
the republican party Just now. A dis
appointed man is apt TO go contrariwise,
you know.

Wonder if J. r. Dillin, esq, chairman
of the Tennessee Republican Executive
Committee, who clapped his mailed
hand on the county conventions and
made them declare for Grant, isn't feel
ing little funny just now. 1t wouldn't
surprise us at all to hear that he wishes
he hadn't done it. He had Capt. Morris
and his band of Giles county anti-Grant
men under his heel few weeks ago,
but by the Horned Bull of Seringapa-
tam they are on top now, and If Gar
field gets in they will whisper tale in
his ear that VIII keep Mr.. Dillin's nose

Grouchy was rather subsequent
at Waterloo and Conkling was a
little too previous at Chicago. The
backwardness of the former sent NapO-
leon to st. Helena; the forwardness of
the latter remands Gen. Grant to the
sweet obscuritY of Galena life.

1t is all bosh to say that the republi-
can party rejected Grant from eonscien-
tious motives, growing out of an aver
sion to the third term and a strong gov
eminent. 1t sat down on him because
he could not win. The leaders saw
that the stomach of the country was
not prepared for the dose and they
threw him overheard without much
ceremony. They would have swal-
lowed all scruples and raised him on
their shields with three cheers and I'll
ger If he had been available.

Quite an exciting scene was wit
messed in the Senate Saturday. Senator
Ingalls,, i'm reply to some remarks made
by Senator Voorhees,, intimated that the
latter gentleman was feeling the effects
of Intoxicating drinks. Mr.. VOORHEES,
crossed over to the Republican side and
facing Mr.. ingalls, denounced him as a
liar. The debate ended here, but SUBJ
sequently some amicable arrangement
was made, for before the Senate adj
journed ingalls, apologized and with
drew his offensive remarks and Voor-
hees did the same.

Two magnificent steamers, the Ston-
ingtOn and Narragansett, collided Fri
day night in Long Island Sound, the
latter taking fire and sinking in four
fathoms of water. In five minutes af-
ter the collision took place there were
five feet of water in the hold and in ten
minutes the steamer had burned to the
waters edge. The scenes following the
collision were heartrending. The pas
sengers, aroused from their slumbers,
had no time to escape and eighty-three
were either drowned or burned to
death. Children were drowned before
their mothers eyes, husbands witnessed
the death of their wives and wives the
death of their husbands without being
able to help one another. Two young
men, seeing that they could not escape,
shot each other to put an end to their
sufferings. Several parents lost their
children and escaped themselves, while
in some instances little children were
picked up whose parents had been
drowned. The officers of the Maria
gansett went off in the first boat, dis
regarding the cries of the women and
children and leaving them to their fate
Cowardice like that deserves hanging

What fine opportunity the republi-
cans had at Chicago for acknowledging
the fidelity and valuable services of the
negro, for whom they profess such sim
cere affection. Senator Bruce's term
will soon expire and they might with
much propriety have placed his name
below Garfield's. He is a man of more
ability than Arthur and decenter by
long odds. II Sambo were not the veri-
est Ounce in Christendom he would see
that the party of great moral ideas is
determined to, keep him drudging in
the field while the white lords sit in the
parlor and sip the wine. They know
that he has the strength of Sampson at
the ballot-box, but they are also con-
scious that he has the strength of Will
liam goat elsewhere, and they do not
care to have the atmosphere of official
circles impregnated with the flavor of
his cuticle.

Charley Foster, the grinning little
demagogue who now fills the guberna-
torial chair of Ohio, said in speech the
other night that Garfield's nomination
was the act of God. The author of this
blasphemous and impious assertion no
doubt thought he was saying something
very smart when he ascribed to the Deity
the perfuaetory work of Sherman and
Blaine, but he will find out his mistake
when the devil gets him in his clutches.

THE MARKET.

We have heard of an error in regard to the
prices we quote of country produce. W.
give the prices PAID by our merchants
They are sold from stores at an advance on
these prices of course. For instance, we quote
bacon to-day at ~ cents. 1t is sold from
stores st from \ to l cent advance, owing
to quantity, quality, and activity of the
market and time, and those who sell on q
full credit ask of course more tEan this A
practical man will see at glance that the
above is no more than a fair profit.
There have been no ImpoI tant changes in
the market since our last report. Eggs have
been coming in more freely and have ad-
vauced to &c. Butter is only in moderate
demand at 10c to 15c. Chickens are active
at 10c to 15c. Bacon dull; Sides ~; Hams
s.; Shoulders 81. Owe want lot of nice
hams.1 Wool is coming inivery light at $50
to SOC. Corn is dull at 35c.
We hope all who have received sample
boxes of our Patapsco Baking Powder will
give it fair trial. Those who have not re-
Gel Oed samples can get box by calling at
orr store.
We have certificates from the leading
chemists of the country as to the purity and
heslthfulness of the Powder.

favor if the people will lot US know whether
or not it is of service to them, and we would
