A Chance for the Girls.


We happened 10 pass through Geo.
McDOnald's room one day this week and
were surprised TO see q new Saratoga
trunk sitting in the middle Of the floor
which had just arrived from the factory,
where ii had been made by special order.
With the assistance OF John ID. Gum
we took a tour Of inspection through
this unusual article TO be found
in bachelors room. We found
the interior elegant, aud It showed a taste
and knowledge Of arrangement that would
have done credit 10 a family man. IL had

pose Of lay ing various special articles not
desired 10 get rumped, and below
this was room enough for a family OF chill

George intends 10 make Of this trunk, we
are not Informed at this writing, but are
decidedly OF the opinion that IL looks very
suspicious, as we know he has not cloth
ing enough himself 10 OIL II. We would
modest suggest that the young ladies'
form themselves into an investigating
society and fiud out about the matter.

ers-in-iaw, living near Gays mill, Clay
county, and farming on the same place,
had an alteration last Saturday. which
resulted in Belcher shooting Ray. Ray
proposed that they should 90 to church,
when Belcher expressed mis- surprise, re-
marking that he never knew Ray ever
went to such place. At this Ray flew
into passion and approached Belcher,
who walked off and went into his house
and closed the door. Ray attempted to
force his way in, when Belcher's wife met
MN and told him not to go IN. upon which
he began abusing her, and entered the
house. Belcher met him and discharged
shotgun loaded with squirrel shot at
him, the charge, together with the wad,
entering Rays right shoulder. The
wound is not dangerous.

Farm Facts.

A. M. Allen, of Harlem, has two acres
of corn which are estimated to yield 100
bushels.
1t is feared that the cotton crops in
Pearce county will be greatly injured in
| consequence of the recent heavy rains.
r. N-Pursley has the first open cotton
in Sumter county. His farm is on the
AndersOnville road, few miles above
Americas.
The first and only bale of new cotton
brought to Dawson this season was stored
in Judge J. NJ. Simmons warehouse Mon
day, July 20. 1t was raised by William
Rice, OF the Twelfth district Of Terrell
county.
The crop reports throughout Clay
county, and the adjacent farms on the
Alabama Side, are decidedly encourage
ing. Rain in some sections was delayed,
but came IN time to save the crops. Some
| sections in Early and Calhoun counties
have had no rain for weeks, and every
thing is parched up.
Gainesville EQqle: One ofour best and
most successful farmers is A. j. ThOmp-
son, who lives near New Bridge, in this
county. Not only does be love his farm
| himself, but he seems TO have imbued his
boys with the same spirit. Gordon and
Andrew, his sons, about IA and y, have
several hundred dollars in the bank,
which they have made themselves. They
now have most excellent crop, and this
fall will have more money TO deposit.
Rev. Cadesman Pope has an oak tree in
his yard that is not unlike others Of the
oak family In appearance, but instead Of
regulation acorns Is filled with miniature
formations OF a singular nature. The
usual cup, which covers half the acorn
and by which it is attached TO the limb, is
present, but instead of being as large as
a thimble, is about the size of a pea, and
Instead OF containing single nut or kerr
mel contains four small seeds. The birds
tlock TO the tree in great numbers and eat
these seeds with vOracity.
John Welsh, cotton buyer of Augusta,
has visited Beech island to see the condl-
ton OF cotton and form some idea OF the
coming crop. lie was surprised at the
advanced state OF the crop, and looks tor
ward 10 tremendous yield. He went
over number Of plantations, and all
were In fine order, and the cotton was
luXuriant and far advanced. From
held Of $50 acres, owned
by William Page, Mr.. Welsh gath
cred handful OF bols. They were
full large, and when broken open dis
closed the four lohes all perfectly formed
and the seeds well covered with young
white cotton OF good staple. Mr.. Welsh
says the whole field is as far advanced as
the stalks from which the bOls were gath
cred, aud gives itas bis opinion that the
cotton will be ready for picking in eigh-
teen days. The crop on Beech island is
most promising. and is equally fine in
Richmond county. II the present propi-
tlous seasons continue. Il Is believed the
cotton crop OF this year will exceed all
former ones.
