tional church. The price of admis-
sion will be IS cents.
The authorities have decided to
deprive every farmer in the county of
chewing and smoking tobacco, for the
balance of the year, who does not bring
in something, and contribute to the
county fair.
The first story of our new court
house and Jail is now up, and when
the second story is added giving
nineteen foot ceiling it will show off
to good advantage, and afford fine
view of the surrounding country for
miles around.
John Maginnas has brought us abunch
of wheat from his field Ofsummer fall
low, four feet and ten inches high. If
this wheat fills out as it has begun, it
will, it is thought, from the size of the
heads, yield at least thirty bushels to
the acre. So much for cultivation.
All during this time of cyclone dis
truction, at this place, and in fact this
county has escaped all damage, and
to Him who ruleth the sea, and the
storms, we are exceedingly thankful,
and hope we may be spared on to the
end.
The Board of Health will find a
smell which will strike it with some
considerable force, by making the
drain visit at the south east corner
of Watson & Leonard's livery stable.
Such places should not be allowed to
escape the eagle eye of the Bord.
That we may not be behind in showing
our liberality, The TRIBUNE will give
pair of shoes to the prettiest baby
brought to the county fair. No babies
are to be brought outside ofthe county,
our object being only to encourage
home industry.
After the game of base ball at Grace
vile, there will be hop at the Grace
vile hall, when fine time will be had
in tripping the light fantastic toe to
an elegant band of music. All are in
vited to come and share in the pleas
ures of the gay festivities and be
happy while they may.
The Editors who were off on the ex-
cursion, lived SO high they have come
back with big notions in their heads,
and some of them have decided that
they will live like OF her people, and
have three meals day-rather high
soaring for a country editor, whose wife
has to borrow pair of shoes to go
down town.
The cattle that think they can froiic
around loose within the precincts of
this incorporation, will find they are
mistaken for man is employed to
pound every one he finds attempting
anything of the kind. The pound
master starts herd every few days,
but the captains office is silently APP
preached, settlement made, and the
dumb brutes 60 ON their way rejoicing
again.
The scociable at Mrs. III. H. Wells
last Friday evening, was well attended
and was an exceedingly elegant affair.
Mrs. Wells was at no time at loss to
know what to do, and how the most
expeditously to manage and please her
large gathering of old and young.
The ladies desire us to return their
warmest thanks to the Band for the
fine music rendered at the sOciable.

The First National Bank, is getting
along finely, the plastering is all done,
the floors mostly laid, the small WIN
dows in both, first and second stories
are in, but the tug of war is with the
two plates of glass for the double front
window, being each, six feet wide by
seven and one half feet high, each
weighing 260 pounds. These are 60
ing in on the principle that large bodies
move slow. Slim Hancock thinks
with no accident he will have them
in place this week.
