JoSBsvILLr, Jan. l5.-1he weather
prophets tried to make the people believe last
fall that we were going TO have the hardest
winter we have had iu along time; but they
have missed it badly so far. Our people can
hardly get weather cold eu ough to save their
meat.
There has been great deal Of moving
about, but nv people are getting settled
down at last
have heard but little talk Us yet about
how much cotton would be planted or guano
used. don't think the farmers have f1rmu-
lated their plans yet. The price of cotton is
100 low to excite them much, and | rather
think that hog AMI hominy will get more
attention than cotton this year.
What changes take place in our country,
and that in few short years The tract Of
land just above Jonesville belonging to the
estate Of J. Fl. Coleman, deceased, was sold
last salesday to the highest bidder, and
knight Foster, prosperous Uolored man
and farmer, bought the home place. This
place was for q long time owned by Mr..
Charles Cunningham, q gentleman of the
olden time. He was the father Of Mrs.
Henry +. Means, of Greenville, who also
spent many years Of her girlhood there but
now the place goes into the hands of q col
ored man, who lives in the old homestead
aud is happy.

ships were not much behind these. flc said

Jeter. The extension only adds another

The Dispeusary question just now is run
ming high in our Town. Report has it that
