We report the following on our
sick list: Mrs. j. c. Horton, who
is better; G. H. Harris, who is il

is still very feeble; w. H. Menatrt e.

Mrs. Capt. Finney died on the first

visit in Texas. Capt. Finney start

adieu to mis- dying wife.

Our reporter who attended the
ice-cream supper at Poplar Hill says
that it was grand beyond descrip-

complished bellies, and Mrs. S. A.
Gordon, while visiting Mrs. Carson
Orr, did not fail to attend the
cream supper and cool their rosoate
lips with its pure nectar. On re
turning Miss Glaze performed a
dangerous feat in extricating her
self from turning saddle upon a
plunging, spirited horse. Luckily,
however, she lit upon her feet, and
all went happy as marriage bell.
Our boys have just returned from
the ice cream supper at Elkton;

Our little town is in a flourish
ing condition, running four business
hours, all of which are doing a
moderate business.
Farmers are about through
with their crops; the corn crop is
looking well but wanting rain; cot
ton is looking well but little later
than last week; oats are fine
this season; the wheat crop
is very short on account of rust.
We noticed in the CITIZEN of
last week an article headed Cattle
Disease in Giles and one point we
noticed more particularly where the
stock raisers of Giles were re-
quested to establish rigid quaran-
tine against Alabama cattle Now,
Dear Editor, that is just what we
want. For the past eight or ten
months the people of this part of
Alabama have been persuaded
by Tennessee cattle men until they
have sold almost every calf that
is able to bleat even by leaning
against a fence, and we men of
small capital down here who have
been trying to dispense with so
much cotton and turn our attention
to the raising of stock and the i'm
provement of our lands. TO use a
common expression, we have been
left, for they run the COWS to such
an enormous price that we couldn't
buy at all. Now we agree with you
and the full-handed stock raisers of
Giles not to deal in Alabama cattle
unless they want to pay DR.. Sal
mon a bill and make Alabama far
mers raise more cotton.
Measles and cholera infantum
have been raging in this commu-
nifty for some time, although we
have heard of only one death. But
for the skill of our most emf
nent physician, DR.. Thos. c. Pettus,
many of the little ones now in good
health might have long since been
placed beneath the Wondering
clods of the valley.

Mrs Florence Jones, living nea
Gerber, Ga, ON Lookout mountain
about fifteen miles from this city
yesterday found box containing
$4I5 in gold. The circumstance
attending the finding of this sun
were these:
There was a large stone near {
fine spring on Mrs. Jones' place,
which she had for Il long time in
tended to move close to the spring,
in order to use it for beating clothes
on, as is the habit in that country.
Yesterday she went TO the spring
and succeeded in rolling the stone
away from its resting place. In do
ing so she disclosed a large cavity
which excited her curiosity, and,
of course, she proceeded to examine
it. She succeeded in extracting
from the cavity 4 box of heavy tin,
or of iron, which contained. as sta
ted before. the sum of $415 in gold,
all $50 pieces, except one or two
tens and one S. piece.
None Of the pieces have a date
more recent than 1852.
One Of the interesting feature of
the lady's good fortune was that
her husband that day had in vain
tried to borrow about one hundred
dollars to meet a mortgage on his
property, and this piece of good for
tune interfered to make the pay
ment easy and have nice, coy
sum left.

Farmers arc through laying by
their crops. Corn and cotton are
suffering 'oF rain. Corn is burnt
up to the ear. Wheat has been
threshed and the yield was about
five or six bushels per acre Fruit
is beginning to ripen.
The supper which was given at
the church passei Off very quietly.
Sixty five dollars was taken in. The
contract for ceiling the church was
let out to the lowest bidder, Messrs.
Tom Campbell and William Pee
Piles being the contractors. They
have commenced work and the
church will soon be completed.
The protracted meeting at Poplar
Hill was to commence last Sunday,
but owing to the fix the church was
in and because Rev. Mr.. McCanless
could not get any one to help him
preach, it was deferred until the
fourth Sunday in August.
Mr.. Scruggs commenced his
school at Poplar Hill the second
Monday in July and has about 60
or 70 scholars. I venture to say
this is the largest school in the dis
trict.
