= rtiI Iadss, for $48.5O.
f~dhis community was visited on SIM
day night of the 9th ult. with one of
the most terrific transforms that has
ever been witnessed in this section by
our oldest heads. Trees of the largest
size were uproeted, fencing and gar
dens sWeptln places; the cotton crop
ana q large portion of the corn looked
Ike dray had run over It. Mr.. T. L.
Is Epps' corn crib was blown down:
Mr.. J. j. Gallman's barn was also
blown down and torn to pieces: quite
number of frnit trees also Welded to
the furious wind. Creeks have been
swollen almost to their fullest capacity
for the past week, and the corn along
the streams is almost entirely ruined.
The cotton is also badly injured; fully
one-nalf of what was open was blown
out OF the boil and will not be fit to
gather-a good portion had begun to
sprort in the boil.
Inc creeks were swollen last Friday
morning to such an extent that Mr..
Quattlebaum's bridge across Thinner
mans creek and the Kinard bridge
across CurPs creek were both wrecked. |
1t IS not safe to cross either one.
In giving the account of those other
bridges I should have said that the |
WORK IS all to be completed by Me 18th
of next mouth.
mat lllterate negro who is so very |!
smart and who breaches such good
sermons while asleep takes the rag off
the bush. We can offer no better
remedy for smart, ignorant Major than
TO just try and keep him asleep all the
time.
We want it understood that we are
not mourning over the fact of Mr..
Mower being elected to fill the vacant
term of MIR. Sigh, for we believe Mr..
Mower is perfect gentleman and that
le is a Conservative Of Conservatives. +
Mr.. Editor, not for the sake of argu-
nens, for there is no argument in it,
,ut we simply say that this corrcspon-
lent was not discussing the matter as
o who got the most votes in the last
Urinary, Mr.. Mower or DR.. Wyche. I l.
ont suppose that there was a single
ne OF us that was so shallow as not to :
now that Mr.. Mowers getting more
otes was the reason of his election.
ne question involved was why the
'eform vote was so small, and think
nat this point has been clearly shown.
oW, Mr. Editor, your client is not
cad, and you can bring up your other
rty-nine good reasons.

A word now to Pointer and Type
tier" Yes, friend "Pointer,n it has
en- a good while since YOU asked
hips" what about his Watermelons:
t still "Chips" is blessed with a eooa
nembrance and now proposes to an
er your question. Our first patch
&c was very promising, and we made
e that we would be enabled to set
to the editor and his whole force of
e pointers and settlers: but the crows
It US to the sugar on this patch and
oe the trst carve, and of course we
Mt think Of offering you the leav-
8 OF such black tribe. But; friend
nter, we did not stop at this effort;
tired the second time, and in comes
ther feathered tribe, that of more
aesticated nature, and takes the
rs to go round and sample all that a
of any size in this patch. But we
e brought great many Of this gen
ion to trial and sentenced them to
ln-and the sentence has been fully
,uted. So, friend Pointer, we have
aside all hopes this year of getting
name in the paper by a watermelon
to The Herald and News.
