II. B. Wynne and Ga. M. NOlen
are the other commissioners for
the county.
We have been rIuested to
state by a numt r of citizens what
change was made by the last legis~
lature in the line between Ha06e-
man and Chester counties. The
in the lines is that the
lands of Vincent King, s. B.
White, J. N. Wilson, Solomon Vii,
son, Eliza GlideweIl and James
are wholly included n
We want to suggest to our sar-
mers the advisability of buying hay
presses, Every farmer who has
dozen acres of clover or grass ought
to have hay press. They can be
bought cheap and will pack from
one hundred and fifty to two hum
dred bales of hay per day in the field
~ soon 81 it is cured, without the
necessity of shocking or stacking 1t.

"A certain quack doctor, whose
advertisements of wonderful cures
fill the papers, was in town one day
last week. Scores of MANNED, halt
and blind fiocked to him and he re-
lieved them of their shekels, but
not of their infirmatles. For poor
paralytic we understand he pre-
scrbed one grain of strychnine in a
pint of water, 10 be administered in
teaspoon doses three times a day.
The same dose of stump water
would have done as well.
Since we have assumed control
of the BULLETIN, we have endeavs
ored to get our subscription list
straight and have succeeded to a
great extent; though there are a
number of delinquents still on the
books. If these wish to continue
the paper, they Will do us a favor
by settling the amounts due, other
wise the names will he discontinued.
The letter x will be placed on the
margin of the paper of all who are
indebted to US.
Mrs. johnson, wife of Esquire
William johnson of Whiteville,
came near meeting with serious
accident last Friday. On her way
TO Bolivar she crossed Pleasant
Run Creek, and stopped to water
her horse. While the horse was
drinking a negro boy rode up behind
her at a rapid rate and frightened
the animal she was driving. Her
horse made a lunge, and broke the
swingle tree, throwing her out into
the branch. Fortunately she was
not seriously injured.
A negro by the name Of AM
drew Wood threw q brickbat into
an excursion train on the Tennes-
see Midland road at WhiteviIle
Sunday night, breaking the nose of
Policeman r. A. Bland of Jackson,
Mr.. Bland and the conductor both
fired at the negro, but missed him.
The officials of the road made an
attempt to effect the capture of the
negro, but without success. A piss
toll was found, which the negro drop
ped while trying to use it. If caught
no mercy will be shown to the
perpetrator of such q disgraceful
act.
in last weeks issue of our pa
per we published an article in regard
to little negro boy, without father
or mother, who came to Bolivar
claiming to be from Memphis. We
have since learned that the boy
was from Toone, and that he left
on account of having stolen a watch
from Mr.. William Pirtle. Marsha
Perry was informed of the theft anC
recovered the watch Tuesday morn
ing at COnger's mill, where the ne
gro had disposed of 1t for the sun
