The weather, for the past week,
has been pleasant indeed, and if it
continues as it has been until the
bulk of the cotton crop is gathered,
the farmers should feel truly CRATE
full. The mornings and evenings are
cool and clear, doubtless indicating
an early appearance of Jack Frost
with his biting and whitening touch.

the app earance Of the men, who, he was
told, we're paid by the city to get up frolics
atthat place TOR the people. II ever he saw
Hell written in the faces Of men it was when
he gazsd into the eounsenancss Of those
who conducted the Jardin Mabills. He
pictured them in hig own graphic manner
as representatives OF all that was fendish,

he quickly arrived at the conclusion that it
would be useless to attempt their reforna-
