We suspect that owing t6 the long drought and his light weighit, the impression was a bad one. Try it again, Riley. but select a softer place next time. WHILE old bachelors get too old sometimes to am'arry, they never get too old to go to weddings.

A happy face, a brand-new dress, an enterprising front, anid a chattering tongue, will make you take superla latively well. Long and happy be your life ; high may your head ever be and( full your purse. There ia nothing exti'a new in Pick ens. Everything pursues the eveni tenor of its way ; nimble-tongued gos sip has much. .to say, but we will not tell on her this time. Good s'chool, many boys, inany girls-but neamiy all of them are prizes located away up to ward the top of long, slender, greasy poles, and the gaping throng of COnl testants are kept back from the fort of the "tall sycamores" by flowing swords. Ruling with rigidity up here wIns tihe title, of the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash." Tile young men of the lorlmont* College have decided to give-a publie debate in the Hall. of the Pakiorian Literary Society next week. It comes oft on Friday night. Oie of your editors would be received with open embrace. The girls of the College are going to organize Into a Society this week for their "Itnprovement lit Rati ocination and Intellectual Gimnas ties." Mr. G. W. Taylor has just returned from a visit among the ditherent fairs of the State. ie must have met with his fate, for he has tremor cordis all the time. It's a poor fair which don't make some fellow "live Ip among the stars.'j The more he sh.ikes his torch. the more It shiiie;'. Pickeis has a dumde. We are ahead of Easley in that respect. :i't we ? Easley's paper, sounds pretty higt though. We are settling down to Winter quarters now. No more Sunoner ro ses to bloom and tlotirisi among us. All the visiting young lad5ies have gone except Miss Lucie Ilagood, and she leaves for the sea-shore this week. "We would that it were Smummer al ways." But time does '"move on in it's ceaseless course."' Such depart uires is enough to make a fellow '-os:e his mirth an(d his disposition go so heavily wit ii Him that the brave, overhanging firmament, all fretted with golden tire," seem but a waste of (lty va pors. We close; so long. C. P. S. There is to I. a- B up here B-4 long ; we will send you anl iivitation or ai piece of cake to dream oi. -For several days the colored people have been holding a camp meeting at Keysville, near town. Before it started one of the lead ing brethren approached a white gentleman who lived near and raised a good deal of stock, and the following conversation ensued : "Boss, how many pigs is yer got and where is dey ?" "WYell, about thirty, and most of them are in the woods." "Boss, I'd 'vise you to put dem hogs in de pen and sit over dem with a double barrel gun. Camp meeting and hogs don't mix well together." Washington (N. C.) Gazette. -We see how much a man has, and therefore envy him ; did we see how littic he enjoys it we would pity him. HWMENI AL. Married, on the 10th October, by Rev.
