July lat. 1886.


This heautlful July morning finds
us happy, our mind aud thoughts are
serene and peace pervados our whole
body. Save and except an occasional
outburst of our emotional nature
which is only caused by our eyes fall
Ing upon the communication from our
Chicken BrIstlo friend, which Is con-
tained ln the columns of last weeks
issue OF the DEMocRAT copy which
now lies before US at the present mo-
ment, and just now, the author OF the
communication alluded to, passed our
front bay window, on his way to the
Turner campmeetlng near Turner
station, in Marion county. He Is
rather late for his business, but as the
old adage says, alt Is never too late 10
do good" SO no has gone, aud the
DEMOCRAT may rest assured that IL
will hear from that Fellow some time
In the near future, where he will
certainly tell OF his discoveries and
exploits while there.
AS your regular correspondent TO
the DEMOCRAT has been absent from
town for week and not likely TO re-.
turn for another week, we thought
that II IL would not be out of place for
US to drop a few items to the DEMo
GRAFT, which II found OF sufficient In.
terest TO the editors thereof might
give them space In the columns OF
their paper.
Business In town Is quiet, but q
gradual interest In trade is percelv-
able, from the fact that the prospect
for an abundant harvest are stlmulat-
Ing to the average farmer, and the
advance In the price OF wool, over
that OF last yeaI, Is also another en-
couragement to business interests.
