Mr.. Jno. 7. Williams, son of our
old friend R. B. Williams, is here
on ten days visit from Texas.
He will return shortly to finish his
course in the study of law at Aus
tin, after which he expects to locate
permanently at Abiline, Taylor
county, Texas, for the practice of
his profession. John has run up
into q fine looking man, and, we
doubt not, will make his mark in
the world as a legal light, having
had all TIE advantages of a liberal
education, beside inheriting a good
share of his fathers horse sense.

After all the scare about worms
eating the cotton, it is now plain
that they have not nor will they in
jure the crop more than ten per
cent The bottom lands In Grant
parish will make fully 80 per cent
of an average crop, while the hills
will be about So per cent. This
difference is owing to the spring
freshets and summer drouth, which
did more injury in the hills than
in the bottoms. Both sections
have made good corn crops, and the
condition of our farmers may be
stated as fair.

There no longer seems 10 be any doubt
st, Mlchael's church steeple was not
moved or It's position In any way changed
by the earthquake. The wrenchlng of
the front ana east wall and the porch is
now attributed TO the raising OF Ger.
tain parts of the church and not TO the
sinking OF the steeple as was at first sup
posed. TINS Is conclusively shown by the
fact that the floor and center aisle OF the
church are raised In places at some dis-
lance from the foundation OF the steeple,
and thst while the tlag-stone pavement Of
the yeatiOule, which runs through the
middle OF the tower under tine steeple,
was raised eighteen inches In the center,
the condition and arrangement of the
angels have not been changed In the
slightest degree This would seem to
show that the earth waves which raised
and lowered the lighter portions OF the
structure were not powerful enough TO
effect the heavy base OF the steeple. The
central aisle and vestibule, from Meeting
street nearly us far back as the chancei,
are raised aud lowered while In the mid.
die OF the aisle the opening OF good
sized assure can etill be seen. The flag
stones IN the center OF the vestibule,
which were raised about eighteen iaeAee
by the earthquake, have sunk abeut eight
inches and are gradually settling down to
their former level. In snoring up the
front wall of the church the first pew ON
the north side Of the aisle has been re-
moved, disclosing large cavity In the
wall, produced by a shell during the
bombardment Of the city The spot was
covered ut the time by Mr.. Beasley, the
sexton, with board bearing the date of
the August, 1868, The shell
