CLIPPINGS FROM THE ENTERPRISE COURIER.
We are authorized to state that the reg
ular spring term of circuit court Will not be
held in either of the counties of Greene,
Perry or Jones. There is very little bust
ness pending in either of the counties, and
at the earnest request of the officials and cit
liens, Judges Hamm and Mayors have
agreed that no court shall be held at the
regular time.
Some fifteen or twenty Kansas emigrants
arrived here last Tuesday night on their

as feeling, humane man, that he has been
willing to put himself to so much trouble
and expense.

will be severely felt.

An Issaquena County Planter.

Mayersville SPECTATOR
Col. d. Mayors possessions in the neigh
borhood of Mayersville embraces about
1000 acres of the best land in the world
and extends east a distance of seven miles,
and is divided into i've different planta-
tions. Add to this his Halls landing and
Dunbarton places, and his estate in Issa-
quena county will foot up between 10000
and II 900 acres.
The value of these lands have been vast
ly enhanced by the large influx of labor
to this county within the past few months.
This increase of labor is due almost entirely
to the harmonious relations which have eX-
listed between the white and coIored races
of this county. Col. Mayer also informed
Us that he has purchased the wire and all
the necessary apparatus for connecting all
of his plantation headq uarters in this vicin-
ity with his business house in Mayersville
by means of the Telephone. This will re-
quire three or four instruments and seven
or eight miles Of wire. This looks as
though our fellow townsman was determin-
ed to keep pace with the Announcements of
this maryelously progressive age.

She placed on my arm her hand,
Twas fainty, small and white;
Another my shoulder found
touch that was heavenly light.
Ny hand round her waist did steal
Tho tiEuid that waist TO clasp
Ny other her arm did feel.
With gentle and tender grasp.
Thus standing, we wished for naught
Save strains to guide our feet;
And sosn thro' the glimmering hall,
They stole with measured beat.
We start with foot hat burns
To time with the quiry ring strain;
Back, forward. it then returns
And turning, we step again.
We whirled in the giddy waltz,
The lamp-hght strea ming Ger;
tripping, light step and toe,
We, swiftly gliding, bore.
The music did sweetly fall,
The harp AM the low guitar,
And to the soft measures call
We danced til the a ght sped far.
We dizzily whirl, and light,
And lighter trip our feet,
All willing t'obey the call
And all OF canes retreat
We know but the rapt rous whirl,
Delirium wild quick darts
Ihro reeling, light brains-:he purl
0fecstasy thrills our hearts.
The music is ended. the dream is gone;
The pleasure was heeting-but sweet
false;
