 Lee Cook, of Binghampton. Tennes- see, who is building q gin house for Harris & Smalley went home this week to spend the holidays.
 ]. NJ. Wallace, of the Vale of Beu- lah, is running his beef wagon on fast time, and he makes his regular stops on the fly and lands at Heth the same day.
 The railroad companies must be getting rich very rapidly as they are getting much more then they can do. The cotton is piled up three deep at every station We would suggest that they build more stations on their lines in order to make room for the cotton
 The county bridge which spans Eff teen Mile Bayou at this place is rather lopsided, as the piling on one side fIoated up during the recenC heavy rains and failed to settle back. Just about one more big rain before this bridge iS rebuilt, and the only thing that will be left will be the place where the bridge once was.
 The people of this locality are afraid of snakes, and have all gone to town but the squire to get the rem edy, and lie failed to have the price. and if he should happen to get a snake into his boots he will have to stand the consequences unless some good brother should come to his rescue.
 We have just learned that Heth is the coming town, and q police force is needed very much. Heth is building up very rapidly. and just why the railroad company don't build depot there is something very strange to us. There are tons of freight thrown of the cars at IIeth every week in all kinds f weather, and at the mercy of all thieves and rounders that chance to come that way and they are always there.

 And We take special pride in saving that one of MT. Pettus' companies interested in the loss was the "Citi- zens, of Clarksyille, Arkansas. a home company just two years old.
