J. E. HOUsToN,
Secretary.

A correspondent of the Chi
cago Inter-Ocean tells how he
rode seven years ago, with Custer
and the seventh cavalry, across
Dakota to Black Hills. The route
was over a pathless prairie, and
the march was guided by compass
and Indian scouts. In August last
he went over the route in parior
car and saw a line OF thriving lit
tie villages. A bridge that will
cost million dollars will, in two
years, span the Missouri riverfrom
Bismarck to Mandan, a village that
was started last fall, and now con
tains fifteen hundred inhabitants.
The speculation fever is raging
all along the line and town lots
were eagerly bought.

The following prescription is
said by scientific journal of Ven
ezuela to be an unfailing remedy
for inebriety: "Take three brown
backed frogs, cut them up fine and
macerate them for ten days in alco-
hol. This extract is to be admin
istered to the patient in half ounce
doses three times day for two
weeks and then in diminished
quantity. The effect is to destroy
all love of alcohol or its compounds
for ever after.'' The mixture
might be termed frog cocktail.

contest has been in progress between the two
shows .hich are soon to visit your town. In
this contest. thus far, the Barret Show. through
the direction Of its nominal head. Mr. s. II. Bar
ret, has Practiced every unfair and unshowman
like advantage known to the art; they have fol-
lowed the bill posters of tho Maybury. Pullman
& Hamilton show through the ooantry and in
many places have not only covered their paper
but have changed their dates. informing the own
ers ofthe property where such paper had been
the show had changed its dates and that they
had come out to post the proper dates. By this
means the citizens were deceived. In other in
stances they have issued scurrilous circulars,
which were series Of falsehoods from first to
last. They have not the show or the ability 10
compete on fair basis with the NJ p, l. II.
show, heucctheir resort to these base pract ices
caused to be sent 10 your postofice for distribu-
tion scurrilous circular, purporting to be from
a man in Lexington, N. c. To any one who
will take the trouble to consider the subject mat.
ter and the circumstance OF its appearance here
simultaneously with the bitter opposition of this
show, feel that il will DO unnecessary to offer
any explanation. To others and those interested, :,
will simply pronounce ita "stab in the hack''
from 8. II. Barret, aud one which will do no
other harm than place him in his true light be-
fore this people. Respectfully, '-s's, ,,.,,-t

7. J, Alverson Brings the First Bale.

Although few days later than some of our
height ors, we feel that it is not entirely out of
place to say that Mr.. I. J. Alvcrson sold the
first bale of new Cotton in this County last Tues
day, the 9th. 1t was bought by Capt. A. II. Fos-
ter, ut llb. Mr.. Alverson says that the rains
had injured the sample, which is the reason it
did not bring as high as that SOLD in other mar
kets.
Mr.. Alverson is one of our most thoroug GO
ing and prosperous farmers. On q two.horse
farm with two hands, he will make 600 bushels
of corn and not less than lOO0lbs seed cotton to
the acre-some good judges say he will make a
bale to the acre. By hard labor and good man
agement Mr.. A. will be about able to pay for his
