would not part with health for money,
but that the richest would gladly part
with all his money for health.
By reference to change in the adver-
tisement of the Anderson Military School,
it will be seen that the Principals have
secured the services of Prof. Emanuel
Wahl, Ph. D., of Leipsic, Germany, as

itary tactics. Prof. Wahl has recently
been teaching in New York, and comes
very highly recommended. He is an &C
quisition to the School.

Mai. Lewis r.. Redmond, the famous
"moonshiner." spent last Monday in the
city, and during the whole day he was
followed around by large crowd, all
anxious to get look at him and hear
him talk. He is entirely different look
ing man to what many persons had imag-
ined him to be. He has an open, frank,
yet decisive, countenance, and is alto
gether good-looking man. He is slowly
recuperating his health, though he still
uses one crutch, " hich is occasioned by a
wound in the leg. His voice is weak, and
he is troubled with a cough.

Several burglaries have been committed
recently in Hopewell townships. On
Wednesday, the 9th inst. Mr. Baylis
Smiths residence was entered. His bu-
reau was broken open and some clothing
and small tin box stolen. On the night
OF that day some one entered Mr.. John
Harper's residence. The thief struck
match, which aroused some of the occu-
pants, who frightened him off before he
could secure anything. On Thursday,
7th inst, Mr.. John Hopkins residence,
in the same neighborhood, was entered
and six dollars stolen. It is evident that
all three Of these burglaries were COM
mitted by the same person or persons.
The people in that section should be on
the lookout, and give the thief or thieves
shotgun reception.
We;are panied to record the death OF

the residence of her father, Col. Jesse P.
MCGEE, in Hall township, on Friday, sth

and was greatly admired and beloved by
all who knew her. AS member of the
First Creek Baptist Church she was de-
voted and pious Christian. During her
lingering illness she was patient and
cheerful, eviucing perfect resignation to
the decree of Heaven. Her remains
were inferred in the cemetery adjoining
the Church Of which she was member
on last Saturday, after appropriate servi-
ces conducted by Rev. J. s. Murray. A
large number OF the relatives and friends
of the deceased were present to pay the
last of earth's tribute to the departed one

his sisters admirers in the parlor, the
other evening, until she appeared. "Don't
you come to see my sister? ?" he inquired.
ayes, Tommy, that's what come for"
"You like her immensely, don't you?"
"Of course, I admire her very much.
Don't you think she is very nice ?"
"Well, I have to, cause she's my sister
but she thumps me pretty hard some
times. But let's see you open your
mouth once. Now shut it tight till I
count ten. There-I knowed you could
do it." "Why, Tommy, who said I
couldn't? ?" "Oh, nobody but sister,"
"What did she say 2" "Well, she said
you hadn't sense en- nough to keep your
mouth shut, and I bet two big apples you
had; and you have, haven't you? And
you'll make her stump up the apples,
won't you?" The young man did not
wait to see whether she would "stump
up'' or not
