LynnYille,

Mr.. John Lee who lived on Mr.. ].
9. Johnston's place, died Aug. "a,
aged 81, Of heart diseaae. He was
& member OF the Methodist church
and good christian man.
Our young friend d. P. Carter
had just got his new house painted
and garnished when the son and
heir arrived to take possession.
He weighs just as much as can be
expressed by one figure. We can't
say which seems the happiest, the
young parents or the younger
grand parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Braden of
Wales were here among friends this
week. Mrs. B. was Miss Belle
Johnston, than whom Lynnville
never owned g more universal fa-
vorite. On this visit Mrs. B.
brought a little babe that to ex
press it in female parlanoe, ''is a
perfect love of a baby" and the
poor thing had to submit to little
less than ten Thousand kisses.
Our latest Barnum ia a negro,
Steve Jones, who has a menagerie
of FIVE big rattlesnakes ON exhibit
ton in a box. One of the largest
gave birth last Saturday to twelve
little onea, ten of which have since
died. The other two are spry as
you please and are about ten inches
long. Admittance cents. He
could make money travelling, as
everybody has curiosity to see the
deadly reptiles.
We were just a little too far
north to get any of the good rain
your many correspondents boosted
of last Saturday. 1t viii soon be
two months since we had rain to
speak of. We have become used to
the dry weather and quit grum-
bling. One half the cotton is now
open. Picking will be general by
Monday, 10Th. 900 or 400 pounds
to the acre will do our cotton crop
and that where land and cultivation
have been good, and woe be he who
had poor land or cultivated badly
his profits are sadly "over the left"
fields Of corn have changed
hands at basis of SO per barrel.
Crop estimated at one half. Every
body has sown largely of turnips,
but nobody has got any TO terminate
yet. There is panic in stock
trying to sell before win
ter.
Mr.. H. H. Newman, also from
Bethany, was here on his way to
Bristol to attend Kings College.
This is his second session.
j. NJ. Mclean and family of

Leans fathers, Esq. Montgomery,

The Columbia PreshytsFy which |
met here Thursday evening had a |
very interesting and pleasant ses-
sion, were l capable of judging. |
Nine ministers and as many elders
were present. The Rev. w. j. Fri
erson wus chosen moderator and |
Revs. Caldwell and Williams clerks. |
The business was attended to with
harmony and dispatch and was too
for me to give a synop-
sis; but ] must mention the salts
factory examination of Marion |
of Cornersville, a young
man of much promise, who was one |
Of DIR. Stoddert's students here for
several years and made friends of |
US all. He passed good examina-
ton and was licensed for the min

grounds and the occasion was one
Of general good feeling and happi- |
ness. On Saturday Mrs. Lucy |
Miss Lizzie Shields and |
Miss Josie Farmer Joined the
church. DIR. Mitchell occupied the
pulpit Sunday, delivering a very
able sermon. The audience was
large and appreciative. It would |
make my article entirely too long
70 even give the names Of those who |
we're here from e distance. Among
thoge Ve notice Mayor Crow and |
family of Pulaski, Mrs. DR.. Keel.
ing of Pulaski, the Misses Fleming,
Miss Alice Hannah and young Mr..
