The plot is skillfully woven, and 1t discloses a

wonderful precision. 1t embodies a series of

to leave their seats with evident regret,as they
turned to gaze upon the diminishing tabeau.

splendid physique; tall, sinewy and graceful,
and with a face in which power and gentleness
seem to contend for the mastery, he appeared
the embodiment of an ideal, as rare as it is
admirable. His deep voice, whose whisper

OF JIG SPECTAIUR
A Hair-breadth Escape.


On Wednesday, the ed of February, on the
road between Spring Hill and Churchville, a
young lady barely escaped fearful accident.
She and young gentleman were riding leis-
urely along, when the young lady's horse be-
came frightened and started to run. She had
retained her self possession and refined him in
with all her might, but not having sufficient
strength to hold the frightened animal, she
would have been dashed to pieces, had her gall
liant escort not at that moment come to her
rescue. He. by vigorous use of his spurs, in
addition to the fright of his own horse, which
had also started to run, overlook her and laid
hold of her bride rein. By much pulling and
jerking, after he had been pulled out on his
horses neck, and losing his overshoe, the
young man stopped the horse. and undoubt-
eddy saved the life of the young lady at the
Iisk of his own. Never was cooler gallantry
displayed, and never did chivalry render ser.
vice to fairer heroine. We give no names be-
cause pa knows nothing of the affair, and We
wish to keep him in the dark.

DenYar Itemd.

Considerable quantities of rain have
fallen lately, and in consequence very
little blowing has beenidone the past week.
Owing to the gentleness of the showers,
very little damage has been done in the
way of washing lands, &c.
Mr.. J. A. Daniels keeps enlarging his
vineyard. He now has over two thousand
vines In his vinegar having set out over
six hundred this season. Doubtless his
is the largest vineyard in the County, and
still he proposes to add more next season.
AS far as known, the most successful
rabbit hunt of the season came off near
here last Wednesday. Only twenty three
were started, and of that number twenty
were either killed or caught, and one
more save itself by getting in hollow
tree. The only dogs used were Messrs.
Jolly's and Hembree's pack, composed of
seven English Beagles, four of which were
under eight months old.
We regret to announce that Mr.. w. e.
Eskcw has been quite sick for several
days, and is still confined to lis room.
Mrs. Sarah a. Major also has been quite
sick for some time past
Mr.. J. II. Cooper has treated himself to
new buggy. Doubtless he anticipates a
pleasant time buggy-riding with his "best
girl.' JAY.

Eureka Items.

There arc some people, especially the
good women Of our country, who cannot
be prevented from doing good. When a
woman wills she wills, and when she
won't she won't. The Trustees of our
Township ordered the public schools to
close on the goth of February, but such
an order as that only inspired some OF
Broadaway's accomplished Teachers with
greater energy, and on last Saturday after
noon Miss Allie X. Major rode around in
person through the community in which
she has been teaching for several years, and
in few hours she had school made up
which will pay her over twenty dollars per
month. We admire and commend such
an example Of determined will in doing
q work so much needed as that of educa-
ton. 1t also gives full and hearty ex-
preston and appreciation of Miss Allie as
a teacher by her patrons.
Miss Tallie Keown, also, another one Of
Broadaway's accomplished and popular
teachers, was moved by the same spirit,
and has subscribed school made up in
the immediate neighborhood Of her fathers,
where she has taught several schools, to
the satisfaction of her patrons. She taught
public school at Meals Creek this Winter,
in which she did good work, and won the
hearts of both her pupils and patrons. Ii
it were not for the labor of all such noble
women, where would the education of the
children of our County be.
The school at High Shoals, under Miss
Lizzie Anderson will continue. Her pub
lie school fund is only supplement to her
salary.
What Eureka will DO is yet undecided.
Miss Zela Campbell is at work trying to
make up u subscribed school, and as it is
not common for woman to fail, we feel
that she will succeed. We do verify be-
lieye if we would pay for the education Of

son County who had the brains and busi-
ness tact to do the work. lfnot, we are in
deplorable condition, and had better try
and get one to come and settle in our

has to depend upon the ''other" profess

in its present condition. WehaYe no fight
