 Rev. Dixon c. Williams, the great evangelist, who will be here tho last of July or first of August will come strongly recommended by Revs. N. Giyens and E. E. Crissman. Those who are in d po- sition to know, say he isa a greater man than either Moody or Sankey.
 We receiy cd this week a short communication from Boughton, with no name signed to it. While We are always glad to hear from any part of the county, we cannot publish anything of the kind with out the authors name, though such author may use a fictitious one if preferred, after giving his real name.
 MT. McRae went down to Mag holia to see about his fences in Columbia county one day last week. This was his first sortie in the can vass. His competitors, particu- larly Mir.

 1 We call the attention of the citi zens of Prescott to an ordinance that was published in the PIcA- TUNE on the 7th day of May, re- quiring those owning real estate to cut out and burn the undergrowth and trimb up the saplings and large trees Those having brush, under growth and low limbs on their real estate are liable to a fine of not lessthan ten nor more than twen- ty-five dollars.
 Some sneak theft on Monday night stole MT. Price Cantley's pan toloons and vest, with money and fine gold watch, worth near 100 dollars.

 Very few people have been on our streets the past week. We suppose the farmers are too busy to come to town; or it may be that they have been forced to look at the old barn so long in use here by the railroad as a depot house, that they have hecome disgusted with the whole place, and resolved to stay away. In either case they are not to be blamed, but rather to , be complimented upon their good sense.
 | The Press has disaove red that "fellows'' going fishing from Wash lington since the game law wont in to effect carry their guns along for fishing rods. All we have to say is that any "fellow" who would pre- tend to make a fishing rod of his gun is no better than the editor of Mir. Smoote's acquaintance who used to make the eyes of visitors to his office "bung out" with as- tonishment by drinking freq uent and copious draughts from a large 1 black bottle on his desk, marked INK.
 If the Little Rock papers arc not misrepresenting the facts, and we do not believe they are, the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway has extorted enough mon- ey from the capital city alone the past season, through unjust dis continuation in frajoht rates. tO
