LOCAL NOTES.

While growing lank and lean on,
Till his exploits in the stubble
Will rid us OF our mutton.
Yea, LEGISLATOR, spare the infant canine,
Flcck not with gore his glossy hide

Hon. Casey young our distinguished rep
rcsentativc in congress will deliver the an
nual address before the Toonc Male and
Female Institute at the close OF the Spring
term, June Doth Ii is unnecessary for Us to
predict that the remarks Of tRis gentleman
will be highly appreciated and enjoyed by
the pupils Of this excellent school and the
large crowd that will assemble on this oc-
casiun. On the same occasion the Rev.
Frederick IJowark oi Jackson will deliver
Z literary address To all who know Mr.
Howard, his name is a guarantee Of some
thing brilliant. We congratulate Professor
Hudson on securing such distinguished gen
rlcman to address his school.
We have heard it rumored on the streets
of Bolivar that a movement is on foot
among The co!orcd people to orEanizee a
strike Of the cooks and washcr-woman for
higher wages and that meetings are held
looking to that end. These statements We
make on rumor only. TEe wages paid in
Bolivar for such services are already as
much or more than for simila- work in
larger towns, and if the strike is made will
only Illustrate the housewife for a duv or
two AZ most And if such thing we're to
occur and last for any time the average
Southern lady Is not as helpless in such
matters Is she was some years ago, many
Of whom now prefer to look after their
kitchen matters in person and if the washer
women choose to hold out in a strike some
cntcrprising citizen will start laundry and
do the work for the whole town at much less
than che present cost, and make money.
There is rothing that worries or is So dan
gcrous as bad cough, it will keep one awake
all night and finally results in some bad
lung diTcase. Then don't wait for it to
wear of it may wcar Won eff Try one bot
tie OF DIR. Jacksou's Syrup of Wild Cherry
and Lungwort.
