week In speaking of the deathsof that
exceedingly pious Lady, Mrs. a. A.
Dickinson, / intended to say she had
been a member OF the Presbyterian
church 40 years. Either or the prin-
ter left OF the 40 years, making it mean
that Mrs. ID. was not now a member Of

| He ate a hearty breakfast and while at

children and remarked that this was his
last day to live. He at once rep aired TO
| his room. His wife followed to find the
door fast and at once the report of his

Geo. Walls was bitten Wednesday
bg rabid dog. The dog was very kind
and docile and had followed his master
to the field. lie was cleaning his pillow
when the dog jumped on him and made
a desperate fight. Mr.. w. choked him
of and got bit on the hand. The dog
bit other dogs and cat and was killed.
Mr.. w. came over to LynnVille and Dr.
Campbell cut out the wound, and we
| feel assured he will escape the dreadful
disease. There is lively and growing
sentiment all over this country to ex-
terminate all the dogs. Every dog in
the state ia not to be compared to the
life OF one of our good citizens.

Wheat is much improved; oats and

still good; but less done toward plant
ing corn and cotton than ever known

| Last week HUI. L. Mccall, who has
been with the house of j. 3. Mccall for
or years and is a young man of
sterling character, babe his young
| friends long farewell and departed to
| seek his fortune in the west. He got
only as far as Pulaski, when thoughts
of the fair young girl he had left ;..or

change his mind and he is again one of
the boys. The fatted cali was killed.
Constable j. N. Grigsby was seri-
ously hurt last Monday by his horse
falling down with him. He fell under
| and but tor the fortunate circumstance
| that it was in mudEOle and the mud
softened the weight of the horse on the
honorable functionary, il would have
been much worse He is now able 30
be around without his "rutch and stick,
| which were necessary a few days.
| speaking of economy and retreneh-
ment, Esqr. w. o. West showed me q
pair OF suspender buckles that he had
worn continuously for SO years with
!! him. We indulge the hope they will last
him SO years more, and that we may
continue to have his council and good
advice.
