Fourth Of July at UcIatnbba.

The Fourth of July was cele-
brated as has been the custom of
the people of that vicinity for
many years by an immense gather
ing from all parts of tie county.
The pleasures of the day were
somewhat married by a rain that
fell soon after the arrival Of the
crowd. The commodious and pref
ty church could not hold the peo-
pie and many sought refuge in the
covered vehicles and beneath UNI
brellas ard the shade of the trees.
The rain was soon over and every
body gave themselves up to the
pleasures of the day. A number
Of the most noted singers of the
county were present and RECALLED
the crowd with many songs which
we're much enjoyed. At noon Mr..
w. =. Hunter announced that the
dinner would be spread and that
every one present was cordially
invited to partake. The communi-
ty has long since established a
reputation for its generous hos
pitality and the feast prepared
for this occasion was more elabor-
ate than any ever before. The
crowd was estimated at from two
to three thousand people and the
dinner was more than ample for
this immense throng. Judge
Critz was booked for a speech but
was unable to be present. The
day passad off without a single
incident to mar the pleasures of
the day, and every one lett with
most pleasant recollections of the
occasion.

1t is said and truthfully, | believe,
that more people attend these re,

some estimated it at 5000 men,
women, and children. A more

That lynching is becoming
national is attested by the out
breaks occurring each week in the
north and west where the most
barberous methods are being EN-
ployed to get rid of the victims.
AS these sections fill up with the
darkey and the whites become the
objects of his assaults he is given
a taste Of that summary ven
gence which follows his crime in
this section. With the growth of
neg.o population north of Mason's
aud Dixon's line we may expect
to e an increase of lynch law
and the p~harasaical gentry of the
north will discover that their own

unexpected value in the form of de

ed upon as a swamp hole. Make an

the depth and character of the de-
posit If there are more than one
such deposits, see which can be best
approached by animals and vehicles
to draw away the deposit; which can
most readily be drained in order to
facilitate the digging This month
will usually afford favorable spells for
digging the muck and placing it IN
heaps on higher ground, to drain and
become more or less dry. so that it
may be taken to the barnyard, where
it may be added to the manure heap.
