COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.
Beltor Items,

The hand of the gatherer and that of the
builder are still bt1sy with their respective
duties. The former in filling the barns
and store-houses OF the deserving pro-
drcers the latter in contributing to the
comforts, conveniences and ornaments
about their houses. The entire County
seems to have full share of the blessings
of this plentiful year. Evidences are no.
ticeable everywhere and in everything;
the disposition to erect new buildings,
improve old ones, to make proper returns
to and for all helping agents, whether
hands, money, animals, or else; the quick
elastic step, cheerful tone, bright and
happy faces. There seems to be a con-
sciousness of having done something for
which reward was offered and has been
won, honestly and deservedly. Bolton is
enjoying these CO mmon blessings, and by
her continued and increasing steps of
advancement is setting forth proof Of
rightly appreciating and using her share
of the years gifts. There are going up
private residences, boarding houses, store
rooms and painting churches and prepa-
rations necessary to erecting one of the
best Academy buildings in the State.
! Then the neighborly kindness and con.
sideration for the comfort and pleasure of
everybody else, on the part of each genu-
Inc well-wisher for Belton's prosperity, is
not the least to.he-admired private con-
tribution towards promoting public good.
We have been SO often the recipient of
these favors that experience as we'll as
observation is our best source of informa-
ton and means to arrive at correct judg
nent.
Rev. T.. G. Rice left on 9Th inst. for
Texas. He expected to go several days
before, but was una7oidably detained.
He is so much attached to his many
friends in this his native State that we
believe, but for his promise to friends in
Texas, he would have decided against
going; though for few months only will
he be absent The favorable offers Of
positions in his field Of labor in Texas,
have made the impression with some that
he has gone to remain there. We are glad
that he has not arrived at such decision
vet, nor do we believe he can be induced
to, notwithstanding the ties of long exist
ence there of friends and relatives. Be-
sides, the graves of his parents are there.
Mr.. j. w. Campbell says the report of
his big pigs is little too heavy, and one
too many even on light weight, but he
claims to be close behind the leader in
bales of cotton. Has sold already fifteen
bales from twenty three acres. Several
more bales to be gathered. HurraA for
Mr.. Campbell!
Mr.. }. M. Cox from Toney Greek was in
town Friday. He doesn't allow us to see
him as often as we would like to. he
reports gathering well along.
Bleak Hill School will open next Mon
day in the neat new building. Miss CAL
laham has worked up the people to right
view Of such matters.
Todd Bros. have received some splendid
specimens of Canadian turnips of Ruta
Baga variety. It will do one good to see
them, much more to try them at meal
time. We had the pleasure Of testing
lot they kindly sent us, and for which we
return thanks. We are much indebted
to Mr.. CIV. MCGEE for similar and ap-
preciated favor.
Rev. Mr.. Wroten preached a greatly en-
ioyed sermon to large congregation Sun
day at the Methodist Church. We wish
the entire County-nay the State could
have heard him.
Next Wednesday protracted services
| will bs begun at the Baptist Church here.
Everybody invited to attend.

vember 9Th, by Rev. Chas. Manly, Mr.. J.
