Nevada County picayune., 1890-01-08

MT. II. M. Allen, formerly of French Camp, Miss, is now citi- zen of Prescott, having moved his family here last week. We heartily welcome them to Prescott.
 Capt. John Parker, one of the most clever and genial gentlemen we have ever known, was pleasant caller at our office Monday. He re- ports all quiet in his neighborhood.
 Two cousins of Jeff Davis, the great Southern chieftain. who but re- gently died, live in this county they are Mesdames 0 l. Moncrief, of this place, and II. T. Ingram, of Bough- ton.
 We learn that license has been granted and saloon opened at Elm met. just across the llne in Hemp stead county, and that the citizens there are much exercised and opposed to it.
 Seven families have, within the past two weeks, moved from Mont gomery county, and settled near Prescott. We welcome good citizens from whatever point of the compass they come.
 Messrs, Sam Weaver and NJ. NJ. Waddle, two of Laneburg's good cit izens, made us an appreciated call yesterday. From them we learn Messrs. D. l.. and John Fore, are both dangerously sick.
 MT. J. M Price has gone into bus mess with Dr. R. l.. Hinton, drugs, groceries, etc. See his card. MT. Price is most clever, deserving Christian gentlemen. We wish the new firm much success.
 During the two or three days of cold weather last week, a large num- Der of farmers killed hogs. and, as it has since been quite warm, many are fearful of losing their meat. We trust will not, by good management. / A new postoilice has been estab1 lished between Bodcaw and Rosston, this county, named Brisbane, with MT. B. G. Murrah as postmaster. We congratulate our friends of that on their success in get ting this office.
 Dr. Vim. Gaulding, of Carrollton, Ga, spent a day here last week, re- turning home Saturday. He took with him his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Thomasson, who is in low state of health, for visit to her old home, in hopes of it's beneliting her.
 We understand that there is not q vacant residence in Prescott, though quite a number of good men are seeking homes here. It would pay persons with the capital to spare, to erect dozen or more residences, which could easily be rented.
 In another place we copy a short death notice of Uncle Lawrence Cooley, who died at his sons, at Dal- las, Texas, on Dec. 23. We gricve to know our friend is no more, hut we feel sure it is for his good, anl that he is now enjoying unalloycd in the better land above. He was a true, pure man, beloved by all who knew him. The bereaved have the sympathy of many friends here.
 As we go to press, we are shocked and pained to learn of the death of Mrs. w. F.. Atkinson, which Oc- cured at Little Rock, at six o'clock Monday eve. The remains will be brought here, and inferred in DeAnn cemetery to-day. She was noble, Christian lady, and with the numer- ous friends of the deeply bereft hus- band and relatives, we join in sincere and condolence. May the God of all grace com fort them.
 Just before Christmas a great hue and cry was made, in Columbia county, and by some hereabouts, be- cause of beating given J. Logan Nations. Protestant Methodist preacher, just beyound the Caronse, for very bad conduct at farmer s house just this side the creek. We notice in the Arkansas Gazette that Nations left Buckner, ostensibly for his former home in Missouri, where he has wife and children, but in stead of this, mislead and run away with the daughter of a highly re-
