On seeing the prettiest twin babies
in this country couple of widowers
and number of old bachelors were
heard remark: "Well, if such were
mine / believe could stand most any
woman ~ One said it and the balance
nodded.
A substantial bridge is being built
over bayon lesson on Jefferson street
at the lower end of town. When this
is completed and work on this street
finished to Railroad avenue a high
and dry buggy drive can be had
almost on the corporate line clear
around town.
The weather during the present
week has been clear and exceedingly
favorable for cotton picking. Although
some of our farmers say that only a
half crop will be made, we know from
observation that it will yield a great
deal more that is, if the worms don't
eat the young staple.
One OF our young men who is death
on the court" and no little assistance
to the District Court of this place, re-
ceiyed ball bid addressed to himselfand
family. Married by invitation. From
what dame rumor said, we expected ere
this to have eaten cake at his "sure
enough nuptials.
The various complaints and stated
losses handed in by our farmers after
each little bad spell ought to be taken
down, and at the end Of the year when
they come in blowing" about their
good crops, shown to them. Like the
losses Of certain planter near Wash
ington which were taken down, they
would amount to three times as much
as their good crops.
The public schools will soon open and
S.om what we can learn the attendance
will be unusually large. They will
be ably administered, and the teachers
ought to be properly remunerated for
their survives. The directors have
had some trouble about school house
but we hope that by this time the prop
er arrangements have been made.
The Chatterbox is one of the best |
magazines we ever saw, for children.
1t is filled with such instructive and en-
tertaining reading, that children who
have access to it cannot help but read
it. 1t is published monthly by Estes &
Lauriat, Boston, at only One Dollar a
year. In every household, where there
is a child that can read, should be found
the ChatterbOx.
Our butchers on the hot or temperate
side Of the market house want ventila-
ton just now, but we think they'll find
it comfortable and interesting in the
extreme before long. They will stand
protected on the north by the Carriere
of cold winds and storms and will be
backed by petition for their safety,
while they look sympathizingly on
suffering humanity in their neighbors.

yay, that there will be one dog less at .
he Field Trials in December: =
1--WE regret to say that our much be- q
