with whom it has ever been his

A thousand thanks to our friend
Saddler for that mammoth water
melon. Well venture to say it
was the largest n grown in this
neighbOrhOod; this year. To say
our heartfelt thanks are due would
be but a poor way OF expressing
how full Of-gratitude we are.
Our thanks for such a gift came
from a deeper place than Ourheart.
One day last week we pregrina-
ted to Aberdeen. Aberdeen is a
great place, abOunds in handsome
boys and pretty girls. The Con-
sentative and Sunny are the prin-
cipal products. Stopped with

first class house, attentive SER

one objection, that is, Nc, didn't
see the chalk mark on our hat.

fortune, and that their tread Of
bliss may be like moonlight skim

GLORIOUS NEws.-The railroad
is coming, hoot.a-tOO-toOt, with a
whiz, and a spew, and sparks and
sOot, and all those other things,
little annOyances as they are, that
invariably accompany such affairs
as bull. gines. But come along you

PUBLIC SPEAKING.-The Dis.
trict aRd county candidates had
quite q iOlifcatiOn in town last
Friday. All, we understand, took
a turn on the speakers stand, and
gave their opinions OF the various
questions Of county policy. We

tirely eschewed by the majority Of
the candidates, but some, we are
sorry to learn, true to the instincts
