Hello! from Telephone.

JoNEsvILLE, June l9.-The farmers got in
a few days work the latter part of last week.
The weather was very warm and every day
counted. Several more such days are needed
on the farms just now. There were some
heavy rains below Jonesville yesterday even
ing. We had but little rain here, but had
a regular electric storm. Some of US that
very reluctantly had lightning rods lately
placed to our dwellings. felt little more
easy than others. while the fork ed lightning
was playing around our heads aud houses,
with such heavy peals of thunder.
Messrs. Scott and Bishop started thoir
separator near town last Saturday. They
threshed a few crops of wheat, which was
pretty fair, though it did not turn out quite
as well as expected. The grains are good
and plump, and there will be fair crop
made; so our people are all right on the
bread question. As ror meat have moth
ing to say that is encouraging.
1t seems that the darkies are making out
pretty well on molasses. Blackberriss are
ripe now and the colored people, and some
Of the white folks, too, are making pot pies
sweetened with molassss; and they FAY cold
ned' may 60.
If the farmers would set down on the eat
trust like they did on the jute bagging trust,
they could whip them out in the same way.
Onr town and community has some sick
ness, but none very serious that know of,
except Mrs. d. b. Free, who is seriously i'll
from a stroke of paralysis she had about
ten days ago.
Revs. Humphries and Tiller filed their
respective appointments here yesterday
morning and evening.
While farmers are busy preparing to lay
by their crops, Prof. Aycock, with his as

C. n. G.!s Reply to Citixen.

TO The Editor of the Times:
I dislike to get into q newspaper contro-
yersy, but must ask space for the following:
In last weeks TIMES some one, under the
nom de plume Of "Citizen" has blindly,
suppose from the want Of mental capscAto
do better, and perhaps puffed up by beihg
filled with the praises Of some tinkling SYM
boil, become SO conceiied as to think that
&C. NJ. g." has done the present Council an
injustice by the statement Of facts, and
some criticisms which have herctofore- boon :
published concerning the town Marrhal.
Such blind folly needs NO consideration
at the hands Of any person, but when
sCitizen" resorts to falsehoods to make an
impression upon the public mind, then he
is due enough consideration to oe apprissd
of the fact.
In Sundays issue Of the Sinte and Green
vile Ne,cs made some references as to the
dissatisfaction expressed by many people re-
| parding the election Of the present Marshal
| / mentioned il as an item Of news, knowing
| full we'll that the Council, as public body
Of officials, were liable and open TO criticisms.
There was complaint, and from live busi-
ness men, and prominent citizens, and not
ga few old fogies' as "Citizen' calls them.
! / referred to II in q respectful way and no
person could take offense at what was writ.
| ten. -
| nun convinced that il was the sentiment
of two.thirds Of the people Of the town
that the election of the pr esent Marshal over
his competitors was an injustice to those
honest men who have been citizens Of our
town for many years and taxpayers, aud
that they should have received more con-
l sI,ieration tliuu mnu who only PAys hia
| street tax, and has nothing at stake, save
his duty aud salary, when either OF the
other applicants were fully up to him in
this respect.
..Citzen" says "that he is satisfied that
the youthful correspondent did not write
the articles referred to with his own voli-
ton, hut that he was usel as the mouth
piece of few old fogies."
In reply TO this, his only charge agaidA
me, will say that wrote the articles re-
ferred to of my own volition, and that no
man suggested or dictated anything to me.
"Citzen's" statement that was used rs a
mouth piece of any set of men is bare
faced falsehooi, and l defy him to prove his
charge, which is reflection en- my integrity.
To "Citizen,' who ever he may be, will
say, take the charge you make against me
to yourself Of being q "mouth-Piece OF some
set of people" and in the future do not be
such an gnoramus as to be led bhndly by
concet into telling falsehoods for any who
haven't the manhood to speak for them
selves. CLAUDE NJ, GRAHAM.
: P.S. will not notice anything further
from "Citizen" unless he comes out orc
his proper name. c.M
