Milan in on his circuit.
Three Trenton negroes came here
last week, got drunk and cut up gen.
orally. They went back home con-
siderably poorer and we hope wiser.
We understand they had a wolf
scare out at Hickory Flat last week
This, we suppose, accounts for the
hasty return of our friends this hot
weather.
Our citizens who have been sum.
mering at Hickory Flat springs have
been returning home during the past
week. They say the nights are get

many of them, was the trouble.
The cemetery gate and fence is still
in a delapidated condition, as it has
been all the year. For decency's sake

one mile north of town, in charge of
Rev. NJ. NJ. Taylor, of the NJ. E.
Church, South, at this place, resulted
in twelve conversions and seven Access

Chas. H. Conner, manufacturer of

We are under obligation to Mr.. Thorn
as for an invitation to a barbecue last
Tuesday, and only regret that our
business prevented us from attending.
We certainly should have enjoyed it
very much.
Attention is is called to the large
advertisement of the Jackson Fair
Association. Our friends in Madison
are making arrangements for one of
the grandest fairs ever held in West

their enterprising Secretary, Mr.. Thos.
c. Long, is putting forth hereulean
efforts in their cause. We shall have
more to say of this hereafter.
Messrs. j. P. & E. L. Chambers have

with. Arch Chambers, the lightning
can be found in the house,
and will be glad to meet all his old
friends. We cheerfully recommend
the firm to our people and wish them
success.
