X. N. Holland attorneys have been en-
'ployed by DIR, Memmler to defend him in
suit brought by Mr. r. c. Kerr, of Augusta
through Col Wimpey, in which Kerr wishes
to set aside deed giving Memmler half
interest in the large plantation upon which
Memmler now resides, including valuable
farming implements, fine stock, &c. Kerr
decided this interest to Memmler for pat
ented punching machine for fastening cot
ton ties, and now after lapse of two years
Kerr alleges fraud and failure OF considera-
ton Mr. Kerr values the property at $75,-
600 on account of mineral deposits, there
being some 1900 acres of land, fine mansion
and outhouses Dr. Memmler claims that
there was fair dealing and that Kerr saw
the machine operate before the purchase
and was perfectly satisfied, and that he has
a recent letter from Kerr where he says that
he had been offered $4,000 by a firm in
Chicago for an interest in the patent The
case promises to be hotly contested by both
sides and will attract more than usual inter

Bishop Beckwith was greeted by large
congregation last Sunday morning at St
James Episcopal Church His sermon was
devoted specially toe young men, but was
interesting to fathers and mothers as we'll
1t was grand Sermon complete and we'll
rounded, full Of energy, eloquence and beau
ty, enthused with an earnestness of purpose
and a christian zeal that held the attention
Of the audience for one hour and half
The sermon had in it those elements of ir-
REPUTABLE truth that left its impress for good
on all who heard it. 1t was elevatng, encour-
aging and edifying and we'll calculated to
shape conduct and character and educate
conscience and mind to espouse nobler
and truer manhood. Bishop Beckwith is a
great man, a good man and grand orator,
and is doing good work throughout the
| State in his sacred office At the concu-
sion of the sermon, the Bishop administered
| the rite of confirmation to class of seven
teen persons
The delegates appointed to construct
the Constitution and Bylaws for the County
Agricultural Society, and the Committees
to arrange for the entertainment of the dele
gates who are to visit Marietta in August
met by invitation of Dr. and Mrs Tennent
at their home on last Saturday Besides be-
| ing business meeting of the greatest i'm
portance and where much good was accom-
| plished, it was made most enjoyable by the
cordial welcome and delicate attentions of
host and hostess. Mrs. Tennent is no where
so charming as in her own home, and i'm
presses every visitor as having reduced en-
| PERTAINING to science, with total forget
fulness of self in the effort to make others
| happy. The table was dressed with natural
| flowers. No language can describe it. The
dinner, perhaps, was never surpassed in the
county. No dish in season was lacking,
and everything was prepared most daintily.
| The guests fingered until o'clock D. m,
and left feeling deeply grateful for an en-
joyable day. 49,
We were told last Thursday of young
man, now living in Pckens county, who du-
ring the late war donned his wife's dress,
kept his face clearly shaved and wore big
| sun-bonnet in order to keep from being con
scripted and sent to the front The officers
in search of available recruits frequently
| rode up to his house and enquired of his wife
where her husband was, and at that very
moment he could be seen working in the
| fold in fo,pa 10 aY,narol D,- tI,o h. L., 4
worn out seven of his wifes dresses, he be-
came tired of masquerading and enlisted
and made a good soldier. He now has a
large family, and is a highly respected cit-
zen of our neighboring county.

The many hued birds sold by street
peddler in Marietta the other day were beau
tiful and changed ownership readily. A
purchaser of one of these birds placed one

to enter into all the departments of trade
but who would have thought bird fancier
would, by art, attempt to improve the works
