The 'Ruby''.met Oh Friday night. the 18th
inst, at the residence of Mrs. Purvis, and was
the largest meeting since the organization of
the society. The programme was faithfully
carried out, which included music, singing,
recitations, original essays and debate. The
original essay was an admirably we'll written
paper. The debate was spirited and inter-
esting, during which nice little point of Or
der was raised and the chair overruled. The
evening was happily spent. The old Mary
land hospitality, so characteristic of the family
was extended to all, and they were loath to
say good night. The Ruby having reached
the limit of membership in accordance with
its constitution, it takes considerable knock
ing now to get in. Its success, too, has been
q little remarkable, so much so that another
musical and literary society, known as the
Freedom was organized this week with the
most fattering promise of success. The Rev.
Mr.. Waters, of the M. E. Church South, was
made president We are glad to see these
societies forming in our district, for they are
socially and intellectually beneficial, and on
some will doubtless have matrimonial effect.
Some of our promising young men have a
society here called the marble Hearts," they
are supposed to be impervious to woman's
charms. The member who makes the most
trouble and gets the president into it is en-
titled to a degree. The president had to sue
cumb last week to well laid plot when sew
eral Marble Hearts were elevated one degree.
Penny poker is now popular parlor pastime
with some, and the boys generally carry
convenient supply of beans in their pockets.
Every county paper we have noticed lately
gives reports of the heavy hogs killed. Now
if every farmer in reporting the weight of his
hogs would give the breed, age and manner
of feeding, we would think it more instructive
to all We know a friend in this district who
killed hog eleven months old, of the Berk-
shire breed, that weighed 220 pounds. This
hog he fattened in his neighbors cornfeld.
A farmer friend in this district, who keeps his
hogs at home, killed one last week, nineteen
months old, that turned the scales at the mar.
velous weight of l02 pounds. This hog was
of the ''razor-back' breed, and wore no ring
in his nose. The spare-ribs were the sparest
we ever saw. In fact, we have heard so much
talk of late about fat hogs, the dog tax and
the Denison case, that we must exclaim;
From heavy hogs,

Christmas, the grand old christian holiday,

ering will take place on Christmas Eve, and
happy hearts will cluster around the board on
