 The weather is bracing, bright and lovely. and the health sf the town continues good.
 The farmers are moving up with their work and the cotton crop in this part is well nigh gathered. Owing to the scarcity of wheat there was but little sowa in this part and the land will be open for corn or cotton principally cotton as usual. Three drummers have stopped ia Dover since the state fair who had from $40 to s90 stolen, and each re ported an acquain sance who faired likewise. Would say the fair wss a success.
 Mrs. Mollie Yackley. sprightly widow from Little Rock-formerly of Huntsville. Alabama, is visiting in Dover stopping with her aunt Susan Kirchof. Would bespcak for her more good luck than bad and . 1 pleasant time.
 Next comes the news that MT. ". \. Oates, better known as "Wil- liam Nail'' has lost his right hand, it being literally sawn to shreds in the gin of Oates < Wells, on Galla Creek on Wednesday last, causing lampntation of the arm above the wrist joint necessary. Wonderful, wonderful IS the ingenuity of man. though he yet seems to have the \ first principle of the lesson to learn that 8 gin saw is dangerous Some dezen or more of the citizens of Pope have the lesson but mangled hand or asleeyeless arm tells the fact. 1 There was quite stir and moving around among some of the town peo- pie last week. Mr. Jasper Johnson moving on to the property recently purchased on the corner and Mr. Thomas, the shoemaker, moving into the house vacated. sIr. Clark Bonds, yacating the parsonage, nov cd to NIT. Harrison Smiths resi- denee on the east side of town. Prof. Peebles moved his family into lone end Of Mr. Petty's house which was very kindly proffered to him by MT. Petty. Mir. J. ". Neill. recent iiy from Tenn. has rented the resi- dence and farm belonging to Mir. fClark Bonds on .he west side Of the Bayou, and will go to his new home in Pope for while soon.
 T Esq. c. J. Moad, one of the newly elected justices of Sand Spring township. was in tswn Thursday and reports everything running smooth ly with the goose hanging high and dry in the new township, with good subscription school in the district for the winter He reports quite 2 sensation recently in the neighbor- qood from mad dog. It appears that the dog had followed Miss Car rie Wilson from Clarksville to Sand ! Springs. where he wsht mad, biting Miss Wilson and Jack Warren, 2 young man employed at Brownrigg < Greens Mill, and quite number of dogs and stock in that vicinity and was killed the next day above 1 Clarksyillc on the railroad.
 At the first glance of the matter 1t does seem to me like where there is a paper published Tn the county with two editors, that one of them ' should be at the county seat during the sitting of the circuit court to keep their readers fully posted in all the moves and doings of that Honorable body. Either one will do, but would suggest 10 the "Jun- for" that the ''Senior" being more learned in the legal technicalities and phrases fthe profession, that he would be the mos. suitable on this occasion besides he may want to come up about now any way to look after his landed interests, rents. &c., in this part.
 I Mir. Johnny White, the good look ing and accommodating postmaster of Russellville. and Miss Josie Collier, an accomplished belle of Monticello, spent Sunday in Dover. Johnny seems te be somewhat smitten with some Of the charms of old historic Dover of late days. However. in all probability may be making official reports, as Ee always stops with the boss of that department ofthis place, but that seems little previous" to
 me, for the regulations of that de- partment require it's subor5inates to make their reports quarterly, but . Jshnny seems to be impressed with the idea that the reports should be filed tri quarterly. How is that any ways SCRAP.
