We are glad to see Col. T. NJ. Jones
again on the streets. He has been con-
fined to his room for some time past from
painful indisposition.
We learn with unfeigned sorrow that
little Hattie, the only daughter of DR..
D. T. Millard, died this morning at 5
o'clock, after a very brief illness. The
little girl was very pretty child, bright
in mind, sprightly in manner and sweet
in disposition, and the subject of q gem
eral deep and tender interest, owing to
an accident last year which injured
the sight ofone of her eyes. We are sure
that no similar event has caused more
general concern and sorrow.
The Murphy Bulletin says: "We are
to have another railroad, to run from
Murphy, via Ducktown and Cleveland,
to Chattanooga, Tenn. The importance
of this route cannot be overestimated, as
it will tap one of the richest portions of
our county. The incorporators will
meet in Cleveland, Tenn, on the 18th
inst. for the purpose OF organizing the
company and electing necessary officers.
Speeches will be made by prominent
speakers. Let there be rousing meet
ing"
The Blue Ridge Baptist says: Hen
dersonville is about enclosing new and
beautiful cemetery. This, with some
other things, shows some enterprise in
the town. Whenever her business men
learn that. advertising business in news
papers is the life of trade and do 1t, we
shall begin to have hope that 'the dead
will rise from the grave"
Judson College resumed its work for
another year this Cruesday) morning.
Students were coming in several days be-
| fore the session opened. Prospects are
bright for a grand work in that institu-
ton this year.
The coroner's jury in the Finch MUIR
der case in Chatham county, have re-
turned a verdict that Edward Finch, and
Sally Finch, two very old people, and
Ephraim Ellington, a negro boy, who
were murdered on the morning of the
4tb of July last, came to their deaths at
the hands of Jerry Finch, Harriet Finch
and Lee Tyson, all negroes, and other
| party or parties to the Jury unknown.
| We mention this to show that the blood
hounds of justice, if slow, are generally
sure, though the quarry is often after
wards snatched away from them.
The row at a negro church in Waynes-
vile ten or more days ago, in which two
or three negroes were cut, now appears
in the Northern papers duly credited un-
der telegraph head from Waynesville as
fresh piece of news; and, ignoring alto
gether the race of the parties, is intend
ed to convey the impression that the af-
fair transpired among the whites, and
was typical picture of Southern society.
Mr.. Brown will hardly recognize himself
under his title of honor.
The Highlander of the 11th says: The
u. s. Typographical and geographical
survey party broke up their camp at
Highlands yesterday. Their next opeI-
ations will be in Rabun county, Ga. This
is only one of over dozen parties oper-
ating in different States and territories.
1t was commenced about seven years
ago, and re-organized under Major Pow.
ell four years ago. In the winter season
| they meet at Washington and complete
their calculations and maps, which will
be on scale of one inch to mile. The
i geological party will follow on after the
Typographical. 1t will take some years
yet to complete the survey.

formed. Prof. Zollner complains of los
ing about 15 bushels of peaches.
