farming in the vicinity Is going on all right.
Our merchants are getting new goods, and
the spring fights have commenced We feel
cheerful now, though little while ago ii
looked gloomy. Everything looks all right
again.
fernando Tins: More grain and LEES
cotton, more hay and fewer hip pockets,
more meat and less politics Is what the
South most needs at this time. Too much
cotton and starvation in this country TO suit
Us, and if we can get two bits cash next fall
for our camp, we will hunt climate that
viii at least suit our clothes"
Lexington Bulletin: "a bear has been seen
several times recently in the Oregon neigh
borhood, and Is supposed to nave its lair on
the lands OF Mr.. r. +. GwiD, which borders
on Funnagusha cree ......... From all parts
OF the overfowed district we hear of mules
and cattle dying from Charlton or other dis
ease which is not readily described and which
sppears TO be the result Of exposure"
PonOid Star: an Leske county, Thomas
Whitehead, young man, passed some cot
ton money on clerk; bought $40 worth of
COWS from colOred man and paid him in
Confederate money; bought $50 worth of
cattle from John Merchant and passed on
him an advertising doGger resembling 500
bill The fellow escaped ere his rascality
was found out. 1t IS great wonder the peo-

Grenada Sentinel. Several houses in this
city were entered during the week by bur
glars. They visited the Methodist parson-
age Monday night about o'clock and step
ped into the front door, and took from the
hat-rsck in the hall the Rev. 7. J. Newell's
overcoat and hat The burglars were not
satisfied with this haul, and waited until
Tuesday night, at precisely the same time, to
" ms Ia rel ha
Rev. J. Z. CsrOthers Of exactly the same
articles. They evidently did not want the
reverend gentlemen to crow over the mis-
fortune of the other"
At Como many cows, hogs, horses, mules,
dogs, sheep, etc, are dying from the fearful
epidemic now among these animals. The
disease Is called erysipelas- George Wash
ipgton, coiored, lost fine mule last Sunday,
and on Tuesday had another taken with the
same disease, and while George was DOCTOR
ing his mule was taken himself. His physi-
clans pronounced his case erysipelas-thus
proving that this disease is sometimes trans
mitted from beast to man.. Doubtless it is
unsafe to eat fresh meat of any kind now, as
the gusts have had chance at everything
alive, aud their bite or sting is poisonous to
all flesh.
Oxford Falcon: Captain L. S. billiard
killed a snake two feet long in his parlor
one day last week. Ever since the appear
ance of the aurora borealis the colored
people here have been expecting the judg-
ment day; they have services at their
churches every night, where they have reve-
lations and prophesyings. A sister, who
was in a trance two days, revealed to those
around her that she had wan Tered in de
fields oh paradise and meandered round
the great white throne, lingering heavenly
anthems from golden harp, and that whilst
there she had heard a loud voice saying that
the judgment day was at hand, and that this
wicked world must be destroyed. Excite
ment is at white heat"
