Our friend, C. Il. Polk, Esq, of Marble
Greek, sends us some peach blow potatoes
averaging one and one-half pounds weight.
They are very fine, and friend Twomey will
have to ''whoop up" to beat 'em.
The farmers who have gathered their corn
say that while the crop is fair in extent, it is
not first-ciass in quality. Many fields were
greatly injured by the September frosts, and
damaged, wormy corn is the result.
A horse with the front part of the running
gear Of buggy fitted by our sanctum VIM
dow last Thursday. 1t was mysterious
runaway, for no one appears to know whose
rig it was, whence it came or whittier it went.
The ball at Graniteville last Thursday eve
ming was well attended, and proved sue

that could be desired.

Horace Pease brings us q half dozen ears
of corn from ; field Of about four sores,
which are fully equal to any we have seen
this yeBr-that from Dunklin not excepted.

Mrs. Lopez has opened a granite quarry
near Piedmont, and the work Is being pros
ecuted by quite force Of workmen. The
granite is Of the blue variety, and said to be

we hope her success in this new venture
may be commensurate with her deserving.

the wall imperrious to water, would insure
dry rooms in every part. The walls do not
leak, but more or less Of moisture in this
climate penetrates the brick and plaster
work after every rain.
The epidemic sweeps westward! The
scourge visits the once happy home of a
most estima able farmer, Mr.. Tom. L. Steward,
one mile west Of Middlebrook, and renders
it doubly so by the advent of another boy.
Tom says it will weigh forty pounds. But
the father is comfortable under the circum-
stances, and it is to be hoped that by care
full nursing and the iudicious use Of few
bottles of OBSTETRICS Infaliibie Magic Oil,
he VIII be himself again in few days.
A wedding in a store is rather unusual;
but, time and inclination being in conso-
nance, there is no reason why the knot

Stephens, Of Belleview, to perform the cere-
mony, walked into Moore's store, stood up.
and in less time than it often takes to sell a
