Notes from Hustling Jonesvills.

i JoSEsvILLE, Oct 1S.-The 6ne weather
that We have bad the last three weeks has
enabled the farmers to keep up with their
work, shd by the time winter sets in they
will have most all their fall work done.
The cotton crop is short, about the s"-c
in this -'-:-::::y ..at II was last year. Our
cotton market was pretty lively until the
drop 10 price, but since then it has been
rather quie'.
Some one made an attempt to set our
town on FIRE the other night, by placing
some rich pine splinters in . tobacco box
aud placing il agsinst the wall oi the store
house Of Mr.. II. A. Whitlock and setting it
on FIRE. Mr.. Toney Williams, who was
sleeping in the house discovered it soon
after il was set and extinSuished il. No
it was for plunder during the FIRE.
Our Graded School is moving on nicely
with S5 scholars enrolled, and Prof. Aycock
says he will have one hundred by Christ
mas. Mrs. DR.. Orr has charge Of the musi-
cal department.
Building and improving still goes on in
Jonesville. Mes>rs. ". L. Altman, J. l..
Mcwhirtcr snd W. II. S. Harris commenced
TO repair their dwellings, and now MIR. j. Is,
Foster comes in and is remodelipg his dwell
ing. Dr.. Sou,hard also contemplates the
same thing, while Mr.. J. F. Alman will
build new residence soon. Mrs. Cornelia
Fowler is also making some improvements
| to her dwelling and store house. Messrs
| C. G.. Lawson and +. G.. Briggs, who liv'
near Jonesviile, are also improving theil
dwelling houses.
Then We have wedding occasionally il
our community, and yet the people c,mplaiu
| Of hard times.
1t is generally believed, hewcver, that th'
| people, as a rule, will cray OUT this Fall
| or come very near it, and that the country
will be in much better financial condition
! than ii was year ago.
Mr.. f. NJ. Penny, who has been sick fol
| some time and whose life has been despaireC

of his recovery. There is no other seriou:
