presented to morrow night at the
Opera House by the star actress,
Miss Lizzie Evans. Those who
have seen "The Little Wild Bee'A on

surprised that she should engage to

is indeed a popular actress.

will play next Monday and Tues
day nights the Montgomery Daily
Advertiser has this to say:
"McDonald's Opera House was pack
ed last night with an enthusiastic audi

was called back before the curtain.
The play is one that will always be
popular, and when rendered as well as

full houses. The scenery was excellent
and the beautiful lights and other sc-
cessories gotten up in fine style. All
the characters were well presented"

The irregularity of the cores
pondence from this place will have
to be excused, for the simple reason
that our quiet, peaceable, little
berg seldom has anything new to
transpire that would interest the
public.

tied down in Mr.. Hobson's resi-
dence one and half miles west of

formerly lived here, died q few
weeks since at Cotton Plant. Ark,
where he had been the last three
years.
John Weatherly of Nashville
paid our place another visit last
week, the second within a very
short while. 1t is thought by our
jealous beaux that selling goods is
not his only business here; perhaps
one of our young ladies can say.
Mr.. Finney is usually re-
garded as a safe business man and
when he makes a "drive" we at
once conclude that he sees far
enough ahead to find q "good mar
ket for his ducks" And when he
bought a few days since the Eastri.
en- residence of Mr.. Herd, we felt
sure that another good market was
found, but this time he hasn't the
"duck." We understand, though,
that he has located her and that
she takes to water pretty well.

"A very heavy rain and hail
storm visited these diggings last
Friday evening. The rain fell in
great torrents, washing land pretty
badly in places.
The prospect for a wheat crop
at present looks a great deal more
encouraging than it did few weeks
ago. There will be more on the
ground than was generally believed
to be short time ago. Oats are
looking fine. The same is equally
true of young clover and grass. Old
clover was badly damaged by the
hard freezes during the winter. A
great many are nearly done plant
ing. Farmers have been busily en-
gagged for the last few days planting
cotton. 4 much larger acreage of
cotton will be planted in this sec
ton than was planted last year.
You bet your socks counting is
on boom in these diggings since
the spring weather opened. Uncle
Sam of Poplar Hill has returned to
these parts and leads the van in this
pleasant vocation.
There was a singing at John
BrAly's last Sunday evening which

his power to build up the town, won

of the misfortune which caused him
to leave here. We wish him success

years, and this spring more severely
than ever before, She had used many
remedies without relief, and being
urged to try DR., Kings New Discovery,
did so, with most gratifying results.
The first bottle relieved her very much.
and the second bottle has absolutely
cured her. She has not had so good
health for thirty years."

Bishop Lane, of the COlOred

House last Sunday afternoon to q
large audience, many Of whom
were white people who had been
invited to attend. He preached al
so at night and a number of the
white people who heard him in the
afternoon were present to hear the
second sermon. Aside from a few
grammatical errors and some in pro-
nunciation, both of these sermons
were good ones, and have been
highly enlogized. He is far superb
or to the average preacher. His
logic is very good and his express
sions eloquent. Bishop Lanes

Bradshaw was the scene of an
awfnl tragedy last week. A seven
foot granger met diminutive speci
men of manhood in the road and
announced his intention to gobble
him up. The little gent didn't care
to be gobbled at a gulp and he
therefore run and jumped the fence
into his own yard and dared the
other fellow over. This is the
true statement OF the terrible facts
as they were revealed to us by a
witness. Excitement runs high
out there and bets are even that if
the big fellow goes over the fence
the little one will go back through
the crack.

1t will be remembered by our
readers that the show is to occur on i
July 9th. All who have stock which |
they desire to exhibit on this occa.
sion are expected to have the nj
mails on the grounds ready to enter
the procession at 10 a. m, on that
day.
This promises to be q grand ex-
hibition of the stock of Giles coun-
ty. Its success is assured from the
fact that the members of the Stock |
Breeders Association, who are GER
tain to have their property present,
own a sufficient quantity of fine
stock to make big show of them
selves. If nobody else should CON
tribute to the exhibition the associ-
alton alone will have such an array
Of stock as will attract a host of wit
nesses and interest every beholder.
But the members of the association
DO not depend upon their own farms
merely for material for the show.
They expect to see in the process
sion, which is to parade the streets
On the first Monday in July, fine
specimens OF hogs, sheep, horses,
mules, jacks and jennets from every
stock farm in the county. They
nave invited outsiders all over Giles
o assist them in getting up a cred
table show and we believe the peo-
Die avail themselves Of this oppor-
unity of advertising their stock.
1t will not only satisfy commend

stock, but may be means OF lind
