This morning, Wednesday, at a few
minutes past o'clock, heavy rain and
windstorm passsd over our town. Little
damage however was done, save the
drenching of the inside Of many dwell
lings,-blowing down divers fences, and
frightening people generally.
On last Thursday, Mr.. w. F. Daw-
kins met with 4 painful accident in
town. In alighting from his horse the
saddle turned, and in trying to catch on
his right foot, broke both bones Of his
right leg, at and near the ankle joint.
Mr. D. is not young man, and it will
be some time before the broken bones
will knit together.
Last week we rode out into the coun-
try several days. Busy scenes present
ed themselves on every hand. Planting
corn, distributing fertilizers, preparing
cotton lands, ditching, ,terracing, and all
other kinds Of farm work common to
this season and country were being Wig
orously pressed. There is life, new life
in everything. We found wheat and
oats looking remarkably we'll.
On last Sunday while Uncle Davie
Rikard and wife were at church, a
thief or thieves broke into his house,
bored the lock from large chest and
extracted therefrom one silver watch,
500 III Confederate money and $50 in
old State bills. The parties were evi-
IDENTIFY negroes or they would not have
taken the worthless money. This is
not the first time that Uncle Davie has
been the victim of thieves.
The Rev. Mr.. Stokes was greeted
with a good audience on Sunday night
in Grace Church. His theme Safety" "
before the Y. NJ. c. A. was listened to
attentively by all present. His dis
course throughout was replete with
profound thought, and sound advice.
The speaker argued interrogatively, and
showed clearly that young men, with
all the restraints possible thrown
around them, are not safe outside OF
Christ. The only permanent safety is
in Christ.
We have cat at our house which we
are desirous of disposing of to some one
investing in this special line of business.
He is genuine "yaller' cat-a bob-tail-
ed cat, and we can recommend him as a
cat Of no ordinary qualifications. He is
an exceedingly watchful cat, so much so
that he seldom ever allows his cat-ship
to be gazed upon. He is an earnest
hunter, especially at night, when most
other cats are resting quietly, he is per-
ambulating around the kitchen and
dining room, and if there is & possible
ingress, this cat will find it, and then he
never fails to find some steak, or milk OF
cream or some other dainty that suits
the taste of his "yaller' cat-ship. On
theslightest locomotion Of cook or any
one else, it's ereo,at cat. Any one desir.
ing to secure the services Of this cat will
please call early. We prefer selling tc
some one living at distance, and We
will throw in Ealfgrain strychnine.
