, Rice the guard at the Jail, met with a lu
dicrous surprise to-day. Caroline Rice
the insane woman, was little obstreper
GUS, and the guard ordered her to go int
the cell. She remained motionless. HI
spoke to her again, and advanced ant
touched her, when she whirled, quick a:
flash and struck him with her fist, un
der the eye, a stunning blow to be giver
by a woman. Bob, who is rather good
looking man, was not used to being treat
ed that way by girls, and it was a sur
prise to him. -. Harmon Bum brought
in his wool crop to-day. &c. Fl. Lewis
son of our old friend yankee" Lewis, OF
Kansas, called to-day. G. H. resides at
Fountain, Kansas, and is Representative
of the 22d District, in the State Legisla-
ture. 80. Wheat is being cut in this
County. -. Mr.. Steinberger will have a
fine verandah put up in front of his resi-
dence on Main Street. -. James Meach-
am Sr. is in town to-day ..... We took a
trip through Petrea and neighborhood,
this evening. The manner of working
the roads in that direction is certainly a
mistake. A high track is made, just wide
enough for one wagon. Should two
teams meet on this track, one or both
must go over an embankment, making
it absolutely dangerous after night. 1t
would be good deal better to make
double track while at it. If all the teams
were going one way, there would be no
trouble. The work is in the right direc-
ton, but not broad enough. The citi-
zens of the Petrea neighborhood seem to
be in healthy and happy condition, fat
and sleek, and like our old friend Rey-
nolds, we believe they are all comforta-
bly, fed.
SATURDAY.-We took stroll this ev-
ening, over to the mammoth gardens of
Uncle 10. Watson, in Jamestown. We
had often seen these gardens before, but
had never formed the most remote idea
of the great array of fine vegetables rails
ed there. Mr.. Watson showed us small
bers. From this place, in single day
yesterday-more than twelve hundred
cucumbers were pulled. Down among
the vines, there are still great numbers
of cucumbers. Of all vegetables he has |
an immense quantity. No gardens were |
ever laid off more beautifully, or arrang- |
ed more successfully. Mr.. Watson un-
never puts stale or unclean vegetable |
upon the market. Everything is fresh, |
clean, healthy. No hard times around |
where Uncle 10. is. IA little boy |
named Burt got away with the officers |
last night in rather sleek manner. Stiff !
fier had his cow-which by the way, is |
a good jumper-and the boy went to the |
pen, called the COW, and started away.
The cow easily vaulted over the fence |
and followed the boy. "A gentleman
from the country to-day made remark
which is well worth considering: "We |
have to keep our stock put up in the
country, yet when we come to town your
cows will get right into sleigh or wag
on-bed." And there is truth in the re-
cident of his experience in the west: He
was peddling lightning rods and called at
the residence of a wealthy half-breed,
who hated peddlers. Securing privilege
from the mans wife, he put his horses
up, got his dinner, and was ready to leave
when he proposed to show the farmer
some of his goods. The fellow looked at
him savagely, then said "Come on with
me-" Howe and several others followed
him across the fields to low swampy
piece of land, looking like an old grave
yard. After gazing at this while, the
man said "Do you see that?" "Oh, yes"
replied Howe. "Do you know what that
IS ?" Howe answered in the negative.
WELL" yelled the half-breed, :there's
where bury all the peddlers who
come to my house, and there's where
you're goingp' Howe didn't 60 into the
ground, but he went away from that
farm without second invitation.
SUNDAY.-A general exodus from
Jackson to-day. A basket meeting at
and Children's Day Exercises at
lifferent points. A large number went
20 Antioch -. Some of the Salvation
Army went to Pleasant Grove, to-day,
where lively meeting was held. "A
ain this afternoon. go. Church was
leld in the lower room of the M. E.
Church this morning, and will be held in
he the same place on next Sunday. 1t
will be a couple of weeks, perhaps, before
,he audience room is done. :. .Children's
Day at the Baptist Church to-day was
yrandly successful. The Baptist folks
lave some of the most tasty young peo-
ole in town in the matter of decorations,
md those of to-day were among the best.
MoNDAY.-George Dever has purchas-
ID the lot of Judge Miller, on Portsmouth
Street, and will build thereon shortly.
Mr.. Lawrence Woodson called to-day.
de has been two years in Georgia, teach
ng school. 80. Alex. Patten of Wheldon
,alled to-day. He reparts things dull up
he Creek. .... Fine rasp-berries are in
market from the farm of Finley Rice. -.
Judge Miller has purchased a family
,arriage-horse from Mr.. Childers, and is
,aking ride to-day. -. "A petition is be-
ng circulated urging Council to take fa-
Vorable action in the matter of securing
here.
TUESDAY, Raining all day. Rob.
Cooks wife is in poor health, and fears
ire entertained that her mind is wander
ng.. 80. The officers seem to be sur
Bro. johnson. They taxed him
4 fine for his pigs, then for his cow, and
beat him in lawsuit. But the good are
always prosecuted, Bro. johnson.
