The Little Georgetown picnic

Saturday, the 9th.
Our farmers our in fine spirits.
Corn is improving rapidly since
the late rains.
The river is quite muddy, and
has put a stop to bass fishing.
Two expert fishers from BALTIC.
came here TO fish for bass, but in
stead Of catching bass one Of them
caught a cat, The next thing was
to get the hook out Of the cats
mounth--the cat would not stop
scratching; he called long and
loud for Dick to come to his relief;
but no Dick came, (he laying back
looking on). After being badly
scratched he concluded to give the
cat short piece OF his line and the
hook, and swore he would not fish
for cats any more.
We soon expect to have things
quite lively here, Our wagon
maker has sold an interest in his
patent harrow, to a party in Ha-

aim in the work. The party in

in and about that vicinity. The
forces of this place were called up
on the other night to invade the
abode of one of these detestable
beings. Several able-bodied men,
and one of our NJ. D's., who was
to dress all wounds, ventured, but
not near the tramp. Not finding
any, one ofthe bravest let loose his
double loaded fowling piece at
some of the largest stocks Of corn.
Finding no enemy near, they all
retired in good order.
On Tuesday morning last, two
wild geese were seen going to-

The farmers are 10 good spirits,
with hopes Of prosperoue future.
Our county nominations will be
supported here. There are no
sore heads or dissatisfied partiZans
to sound the notes Of discord in
the ranks Of the democratic party
ia this part Of the county /; on the
contrary, the rank and file wilton
election day, be we'll filed up and
prepared to sound the Toscin of

honor as Senatorial candidate for
the Twelfth Senatorial District,
will be unanimously supported by
the democrats of Berkeley county.
The Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Fair to be held ia Martinsburg
is looked forward to with some
degree Of interest by the people
here. Various kinds Of stock will
be sent in for exhibition by our
people. Viewing it from a stand
point that it is an organization
that ought to be encouraged by
our farmers and others. as no
doubt fairs create a spirit of emu
lation among exhibitors, which at
all times and in every thing tends
as an incentive to excel in all de-
partment of business, and
which not only improves tn e
profit of the owner, but eXalts the
character of people, and inn
proves the business standing
abroad, there can be no doubt
that the existence of these fairs,
wherever they may be held, have
been the means of greatly improv-
ing the farmers stock. Many in
stances as proof of this fact might
be adduced, but the re sons are so
apparent to all, and the evidences
so plain, that repetition here of
argument in their behalfi5 unnec-
cesar. Suffice to say that all
stockmen and business men should
at least throw in their mite to aid
such a useful organization to main
tain its existence, either by the
exhibition of something useful or
a day or SO spent at the fair.
During one Of our rambles thro'
the country we stopped over night
at the hospitable home Of our old
friend, Adam Small, Esq, who we
found to be the same genial clever
gentleman as in former years
when he was a resident Os Our
community. He is now spending
his time quietly in the enjoyment
of his home and plenty. We must
say, indeed, that we spent pleas
ant time while at his house, en-
joying a social chat of the things
Of the past, the present, and the
future Long may he live in his
life of pleasure and retirement.

Precision in Business Matters.

How many misunderstanding arise
from the loose way in which business
matters are talked over, and then when
each party puts his own construction
on the conversation, the matter is dis.
missed by each with the words, "all
right, all right Frequently it turns
out all wrong, and becomes question
for lawyers and the courts. More
than three-fourths of the litigation of
the country would be saved, if people
would put down their agreements in
writing and sign their names to them.
Each word in our language has its
own particular meaning and memory
may, by the change of its position in .
sentence, convey an entirely different
idea from that intended. When once
reduced to writing, ideas are fixed, and
expensive lawsuits avoided.
