Greensboro Herald: "The emigration fever
is still prevalent in Greene county. People be-
come fascinated With the reports of prosperity
among farmers in the West. Occasionally one
returns here to the place Of his nativity from
his new home in the West. Il Is the invariable
custom for such a one to brag on his adopted
country. This is natural 1t is human nature
not TO confess that any change in our lives is
for the worse But nothing is said OF the thou
sands who seek homes in a new country and
who become absolutely too poor to retrace
went. The truth is, prosperity and adversely
are common to all countries; the rich and the
poor We find among all people"

Cochran Enterprise: Zone morningl last
week, on the plantation OF Mr. NJ NJ Willis,
near here, difficulty occurred in which one
negro shot another under the following circum-
stances: Mr- Willis carried a lot of hands from
town to pick cotton. and somehow a boy about
eighteen years old got in the crowd and went
with the rest. The boy is a stranger. and from
having been subject TO fits he is somewhat de-
mented and at times cispOsedatO fight. One of
these bad spells came on NM Just as the
hands were leaving the yard the first morning
end he grabbed an sxe and made for Austin
Higdon. a good hand on the place. aud Austin
retreated 70 his house. and as the fellow did
not stop he took dove his little pistol and shot
him 10 the thigh. The boy came to town next
/ day and had his leg dressed. and has been
walking the streets ever since"
Newman Herald: "Capt. T. NJ Jones and A.
i D. Fireman, Esq. drove out in the country
/ last Thursday to see cow which gives six
gallons OF milk Passing the premises Of Mr..
VIM Wise. about ten milesfrOm Newman on the
i CampbelltOn road. upon their return. a vicious
i dog ran out barking and biting at the horses
heels In defending himself by kicking,
i buggy shaft was broken. The horse became
/ frightened ana started to run. Thinking this
/ was his best chance, Mr. Freeman leaped from
| the buggy, but, unfortunately, failed to strike
/ the ground st the proper angle: the result be-
/ ing bruised head and sprained knee In
the meantime, Capt Jones had refined the fiery
steed in the line OF q tree, and striking it with
i some force the horse became dissngaged from
/ the vehicle and darted on at full speed, while
/ the buggy was overturned by the collision.
/ Capt Jones struck the ground on his feet, but
/ he was not nimble enough 70 get out of the
i way VI the hhsEgs dCEUcS
/ the instep OF his foot and damaged it some

/ Darien Gazette: 1--WE are glad to learn that
/ one Of our enterprising ciJizsns is packing and
i balirg the rice straw on the river during the
| present year, and viii put up for the market
/ four or five thousand bales this seasl IN. This
| straw is en- excellent long forage for all kinds
/ of stock ard l. generally used as such in rice
/ growing regions IL Is necessarily cured with
| great car to save the grain perfect and can
| De sold, we are assured, cheaper than hay, for
| which it is % good q substitute that those who
| have once given it a fair trial rever return to
! the imnOFted article. Heretofore. with char
| acterisTic improvidence, after the local demand
| has been satisfied, the balance Of the straw has
| generally been thrown into the river, and We
| nave seen great masses of it floating
/ down the Altamsha 10 sea, benefiting nothing
/ but the Wild ducks. which res lrtsd to IL ia
droves for the incOnsiderabie quantity Of grain
| remaining in it AFTER even the most careful
| Ihreshing. Hereafter, however, we are glad 20
| see that so much more Of the annual product
| Of our lands is to be saved and not wasted"
