w. E. PRESTON, Esq.-The very ungen- erous attack upon this gentleman in the last number of the True Issue, is really too con- temptble to merit notice at the hands of either himself or friends. The patriotic and comprehensive national grounds taken by him in his public speeches throughout the county, during the late canvass, are such as have been and will be sustained by the free and independent people who have honored him with a seat in their State councils. Did he entertain other than broad National views, he would be unfit to represent Un- ion-loving and law-abiding constituency. MT. Preston will be sustained, and the ma -lignant shafts of poisoned malice and envy, directed at him, will fall harmless at his feet, or recoil upon the heads of his unprincpled traducers. THE CRoPs.-From our exchanges, from different parts of the cotton-growing region we learn that the prospects of tolerably fair crop have materially advanced within the last six or eight weeks, and without a general attack of the army or boil worm up- on the plant, it is reasonable to presume that an average crop will be made. We ol course refer 10 that portion of the cotton region not overhowed in May and June. The corn crop, generally, in the Southern country, is not such as to boast of The al- most universal drouth has done much to- wards cutting short this very necessary crop. In this county the cotton has much im- proved within the last few weeks, the unu- sual dry weather having materially aided it, whilst the same cause has injured the corn. Some of the cotton-fields present really an encouraging aspect, when it is considered what cold backward spring we had. On many places the stand is not good, but that portion of the plant that remains presents fine healthy appearance. The crop of this county will not be a full one by any means; two-thirds of crop, however, will doubtless now be made, whilst six weeks ago the most sanguine did not calculate upon more than half crop.

For Dyspepsia is Ayers sarsaparilla. Other medicines may give temporary relief; but Ayers sarsaparilla makes a positive and permanent cure, as thou. sands can testify all over the country. "My stomach. liver, and kidneys were in disordered condition for years." writes II. Wild, Of IIutto, Texas. "and Inever found any medicine to relieve me, until I began to take Ayers sarsa- parilla. Less than six bottles of this remedy cured me-" Mrs. Joseph Aubin, Of Holyokc, Mass, was for long time a severe suf- fercr from Dyspepsia, trying, in vain, all the usual remedies. At last she begant to take Ayers Sarsaparilla, and only three bottles restored her to perfect health. II have gone through terrible suffer- ing from Dyspepsia and Indigestion" writes G. J.

We are panied to announce the loss Of another magnificent frst.clnss steamer by IRE and carelcssness- the latter however being from the conduct of an irresponsible person. The splendid steamer Dan Able, 'ed by the Illinois Centrtl r. X. Co. to convey passengers from their road at Cairo to the Mobile & Ohio road, at Co. lumbus, and vice versa, was totally de- stroyed by fire last Saturday night at 10 o'clock, while lying at the wharfbo at Columbus, waiting for the train from Mo- bile. Fortunately no lives were lost. The fire seems to have originated In tho cook house, and the following is the report furnished us: -. . Tho third cook kindled q fre In tho cook stoveto prepare supper for tho pass cngcrs expected by the up train, and then went up stairs to notify the other cooks. 1t is supposed that he built quite a largo fire or that some combustible material, 40 oil or grease, was near or perhaps on the stove, which ignited during his absence. At least the flames were found bursting out Of the doors Of the cook house on his return. The alarm was Immediately given and the engineers promptly turned a powerful stream Of water on the fire and quickly subdued the fire below. Unfor. tunately the fame had mounted the stair. way leading to the pantry, and notwith. standing all the efforts Of her entire crew, the fire spread to the light wood work Of the cabin and soon over the entire boat. Word was then passed for all hands TO abandon her and Let her 90 adrift, o. she could not be saved, and was sndangering the wharf boat and depot buildings. The Arst engineer, Ben Magse and the Waterman, Geo. Smith, were 90 bent upon doing everything in their pow. err to save the boat that they continued 70 use the hose for some time longer, not knowing that the boat had been cut loose from the wharf When the flames Ut length drove them forward, they were some distance from shore and were com. PEELED to jump into the river, and swim for life. Magec SWAN to The wharf boat, but as he could not

WLLIAMsBURGH ScHooLs.-We perceive by the annual Reports of the three public schools in WILLIAMSBURG that great Improvements have been made in the schools the past year, particularly in those of the Second and Third Districts. In these two schools, under the management of their Elf cient Principals all the higher branches are taught rs in the best schools in this City The whole amount Of money expended upon these schools is about $4,000. The aggregate attendance in the First District School the past year was 1902 in the Second 1,o72; average cost per scholar 81 80 per annum In the Third, not stated. The number of volumes circulated from the First District Library was 5000. A new school is to be established in the First District the coming year, and new house built. and with an intelligent and competent Princi- pal we have no doubt it will rank with the schools in the other Districts. At present the school in this District is entirely behind the age.

The mother had just died and the father was too poor to maintain even the humble home from which the mother had been taken. He had but just left the old life of dissipation and drunkenness behind him and struck out in the new course. Neither himself nor any one else dreamed then that he was ever to become the famous lecturer that Fran cis Murphy is now. He had indeed talked talked once or twice in public and told his touching story in feeble, bashful way, but it was not for a year or two after this that he developed that remarkable power to move men and women to laughter and to tears that has made his name familiar from Maine to California, At that
