1t is remarkable what disposition some
boys have to sit OH the same side of church
with good.looking young ladies. Let bevy
of young ladies have particular seat in any
church and the pews Immediately about
them will always be filled with young gal
iaEts, who, at the close of service, hurry
out and form line in front of the church
door to see the girls pass. The same boys,
too, will go to evening entertainments ond
stand around the door in the cold till twelve
or one o'clock, venturing in occasionally
only to warm, and next day boast about
what good time they had at the party.
The rain OIL last Friday night was one of
the heaviest that has fallen in this section
within the recollection Of the oldest inhabi-
tants. It fell in torrents for several hours
amid the roaring of thunder and flashing of
lightning, and for the time it seemed as
though the earth was being visited by an
other flood. The streams were swollen till
their banks were overflowed. fe-. bridges
were swept away and others badly damaged,
ploughed bottom lands were washed away
to the depth they were broken, while the
hill sides were washed into ugly gullies.
The accounts of damage come from every
quarter.
Messrs. George E. and Frank Walker,
two deaf mutes, of Athens, Tennessee, are
canvassing our town for some excellent
books-"Royal Path of Life" "Story OF
the Bible" and Drifting of which are
elegantly gotten up i'll different styles of
binding. The books are all highly spoken
of and recommended for their worth, and
we hope tho unfortunate young men, who
are educated, intelligent and of good char
acter, will meet with success in our midst.
When they have canvassed the town they
will 80 into tile country, and will likely
spend several weeks in the county altogetll-
er. They have double recommendation
to the consideration OF our people-them-
selves and their books. Encourage them.
