Greensboro and requested to attend. He
 sent word that he was done with that concern, and in the future would support
 the nominees of the democratic party.
 One might as well try to get him to take poison as to vote a ticket with republi- cans on it. There are hundreds of popu- lltes in the county just like him, who thought they had grievances and strayed off from the democratic party, but when they have presented to them a political dish thoroughly favored with republi- canism they turn away in disgust and re- fuse to touch it.
 Dr. Richard Inge one of the leading physicians of Greensboro has sold his residence and office to Dr. Pickett, and next fall will probably remove to Mobile to engage in the practice of medicine. He has a host of friends in this com- munty, who regret to lose him, but who wish him much success in the enlarged field of practice to which he is going. The late rains have put the crops in the grass, particularly in the black lands, where no work could be done for ten days; but the weather Is now favor
 able, and in a few days all will be right. The crop outlook, upon the whole, is good. The colored people are working we'll, and are paying more attention to their crops than to politics.

 Turon's lake, near Akron, is the popu- lar resort of those who are fond of pis- catorial sports. We are informed that the right to fish in these waters has been
 bought by parties in Birmingham. We are not astonished, for there is nothing good in the sea, on the land, nor in the air, that somebody in Birmingham does not want to gobble up. The Birmingham
 people are not satisfied to have the con- victs always with them but are eternally
 reaching out for the good things. They ought to be satisfied with having the next governor, but they are not. There are two applicants for the office of inspector for convicts from Hale and one for watchman at the capitol. and still they come. The terms of office of
 the three convict inspectors now serving will expire on the 1st of March next, and there will, in all probability. be 200 ap- plicants. Won't the "red-headed rooster" from Jefferson have a lively time making selection among that many red-hot original, die in the Hast ditch" Johnston

 the thermometer in Texas blizzard? One railroad commissioner will have to
 be appointed. the president of the board Of course CD no one wants that office, and 1t will no doubt go a-begging, un- less the present incumbent can be in- duced to take 1t.
