80. There was baptism by the Chri
tian Church tonight. at the Creek nea
the frame mill, the party being son c
Elder Bingham. We called this a
ternoon at the fine farm of Mr.. Thoma
M. Jones, on the South side of town, an
spent some hours looking over the place
Mr.. Jones is giving almost his entire tim
to his farm now, and has large crop O
potatoes, cabbage, Sc, in. One featur
of the place in which Mr.. Jones takes es
pecial delight is his fine hogs. He ha
some beautiful specimens of the Berkshir
breed, full blood, and some crosses be
tween Berkshire and Poland China. L
would pay those interested in raising
hogs to call and see this fine stock. Mr.
| Jones has house built for his hands
where they board, and where he takes
| his meals while at work on the farm
| Here the well-known colored man Scar
ter" does the cooking. We found Garter
engaged in reading his Testament. The
old gentleman is fine Illustration OF
that perseverance which overcomes all
disadvantages Having been reared in
slavery, without the possibility of obtain
ing an education, he has since his free
dom learned to read, and acquired by
shrewdness and industry considerable
property. He was raised in Virginia.
While talking with Mr.. Jones, in this
room, Mr.. and Mrs. John Sanders came
along, looking over the farm. Mr.. San
ders still moves about readily, but is be-
ginning to show the traces and infirmi-
ties of age to some extent. Mr.. Sanders
himself has beautiful home little
nearer town.
MONDAY.-Work commenced on the
fiag-stone pavement in front of Sternber-
gers Store. -. The new books for the
M. E. Sabbath School Library arrived. -.
Our old friend James Welch has been
out in the country for day or two, and
reports that the worms have made re-
markable ravages in the corn-felds. Some
have even been replanted the second time.
The grass-hoppers are also getting un-
comfortably thick in some meadow land.
......Oficer Hoskins had to whack the
head of drunken man with his mace
tonight before he could be run in.....
The police did Picket Clark good turn
tonight. He was too tired, to drive his
team home, and left his animals standing
in the street. The officers took the team
to Smiths stable and put them up, and
gave Picket nice dry place to Sleep.
. Mr.. Scott gives the true version of the
story relative to his casting lots with Mr..
Steele, while both were candidates for
Recorder. No one who knows Mr.. Scott
would think of accusing him of unfair
ness in any matter whatever. "A man
was walking down Main Street to-day,
or, rather, tumbling along, in terrible
state of "unbalance;;" but his clothing
probably had something to do with it.
He had on blue military coat, and
butternut breeches Such combination
would upset any man.
TUEsDAY.-We would suggest to our
young friends of the Law and Order
League that any attempted structures up
On the character or methods of Mr.. Steph-
en- Morgan, will prove fatal mistake.
There is not more thoroughly upright,
pure man anywhere, as to regard for law
and propriety. Our advice would be
petition the Probate Judge for his re-
noval if you desire so to do, but do not |
make the matter q subject of newspaper |
criticism. If the law is disregarded it |
reflects nothing upon Mr.. Morgan. ......
Mrs. Becky Jane Johnson, of Oak Hill, is
lead. She is the daughter of Thomas
Men Neal..... Owens has been wrestling |
with peanut peddler for couple of
lays, for insulting some women. .... The
rial of the young man who killed Wise
nan is nearly through as we go to press.
-. Mrs. Hansey, of Centreville, is visit
ng her son, Cranston, at this place. ......
The pe-nut man got away by paying the
costs.
