Mr.. JULIUS BoMGAIRDNER, OF
Latimer, was in town last Saturday
and paid his respects to the advertiser.
He informed us that the town of Lati'
mer was debating the question of
changing its mode of advertising. A
variety of opinion seems to exist but
he thought the opinion of some of the
Governments official would prevail,
which was to have "Walking Ency-
clopedia."
MIR. L. M. MOORE, of Greenwood,
was here last Saturday, meeting our
people and looking after the distribu-
ton of tickets for his candidate in the
election of Clerk of Court Mr.. Moore
made q great many friends, and he
promised to make as another visit in
the future when he hoped to renew
his short, but pleasant acquaintance
with the people of this sections.
ONE of Mt. CarmePs handsomest
young men paid our towI visit last
week, and it was said he was here to
make some arrangements with E. R.
Horton to buy cotton at that point.
We can better determine the correct
ness of this report when he makes his
next trip, and brings his samples. 1t
is likely the sample will be something
swecter than cotton.
MIR. S. w. BARNES, informs US that
he cut on the lands of Col. Jas. Ed
ward Calhoun not long since white
oak tree that had been Clipped 125
times, then making the tree accord
ing to the old adage, that each chip
represents a year 125 years old. The
tree measured three feet in diamater.

ment of Messrs. BaSer & Mcconnell.
