~ thought and an excellent plan. Il
this connection we would say to al
= our country subscribers who may
= know themselves to be indebted t.
!. this Office on subscription six month,
or longer, that if they wish to settle
the same in this manner, they car
j begin now, while the crops are laid
: aside and the roads are in good
t condition, and that they will receive
proper credits for every load hauled
by reporting the same ut this office.
Now is a favorable opportunity for
many of our delinquent country
friends to pay their subscriptions in
wood.
Hampton c.. Robertson, son of
]. E. Robertson, of this vicinity, died
of lung disease at his fathers resi-
dence on the 18th inst, aged twenty
years. The deceased was one of the
best, most popular and promising
young men in all the circle of our
acquaintance. If we mistake not,
he was a member of the Junior class
in the University of Tennessee when
! the fatal disease marked him for its
own. By his teachers and school
mates in the High School at this
place he was much loved, and his
early demise is greatly regretted
He was, withal, an earnest Christian
member of the NJ. E. Church, South,
and died in the triumphs of living
faith.
The October mum Der of the South |
ern Musical Journal begins the new
volume, and, as usual, is a surprise
in excellence. The publishers do |
not flood US with promises, but pre-
fer to delight in performance. 1t is
rare to find a low priced paper ex-
cellent, and yet the Journal, whose
premiums repay It's cost, is never
poor. The literary contents Of this
number are varied and full of inter
est A sacred song, "When Harvest
Time is Over" with ''Sweet Sixteen
March" and Thinking of Thee"
instrumental, are the sheet music
titles It is number one in quality,
as well as in order, and Messrs. Lud-
den & Bates, Savannah, Ga, offer
specimens free, or the whole thing
for 81 % year.
The robbery of the Trustees safe
of Greene county, of which we made
mention last week, it is thought will {
seriously affect the public schools Of '
the county. From $1,000 to $4,000
were taken, of which about $1,000 !
belonged to G. B. Park & Co., $1,000 6
to the State and County and the re- {
mainder was school money. The :
money was in one of Mosler, Bah :
man & Co.'S safes, and the burglary :
was effected by drilling a hole at a :
point where the combination in the
lock could be reached and the safe
opened by inserting a wire or small I
knife blade. We hear that $500 re- J
ward is offered for the capture Of I
the burglars and recovery Of the |
money. ..
