Towers handed in his new advertisement too late for insertion this week, but It will appear next week. In the meantime we would advise our read? ers to call and inspect his stock of goods, which includes everything usually found in a general merchandise* store. Mr. "Towers sells the very best goods at the lowest prices, and never fails to give satis? faction to every purchaser. Last week' we stated that a wedding would soon take place that would sur? prise everybody. Judge Cox says a num? ber of persons have accused him of being the man, and says he is getting tired of denying it. He says further that if he were to get married it would bo a surprise, not only to everybody, but also to him? self.

Upon being asked how it was that he could pull such a big load with each little mules, he replied that the road leading from bis home to the city had been worked strictly according to the Murray Road Law.? During the same conversation this farmer said that there were three things our people could well do without, viz: the Clemson Bequest, the Farmers' Movement and the Indian Doctor. The S.

Trial Justice Wardlaw issued a warrant at a late hour last Saturday night for the arrest of Lawrence Harris, a young white man of Brnsby Creek Township, who is charged with assault and battery of a high .and aggravated nature. It seems for some time past young Harris has been paying attention to a Miss Hammond, a daughter of Mr. D. II. Hammond, who lives at Piercetown. "The young lady, however, did not receive the attention of Harris very favorably, but this did not deter him from continuing his visits. He rould visit the young lady's borne frequently^ but she treated him with more indiffer? ence every visit he made. This worried Harris, and it seems' he determined to have revenge in some way or another. Last Saturday evening Harris came to the home of the young lady, but she, with several friends, bad just left and were on their way to church, a short distance away. Harris, who was riding horseback, started off in pursuit, and in a few minutes spied the young lady and her friends walking along the road. Harris starte j off in a gallop, and, riding up to the party, ran bis horse over the young lady, who was knocked down aud. so badly bruised that she had to be carried homo. Her injuries are not serious. Up to Tuesday night Harris had eluded arrest, but every effort is being made to catch him. Denver ItemB. Death has been in our midst and carried off the aged and the young. On Tuesday, j the 2nd, Mr. James Webb, well known to many of the oitizeno of the County,-qui? etly passed away after a lingering illness of several months. With bim the terrors of death were destroyed through a liviug, abiding faith in tbe Son of God. In a conversation with the writer a short time i before his death, he expressed himself as patiently awaiting death's summons, when all his sorrows would cease. He leaves numerous relatives and friends to mourn their loss in bis death. On Saturday night, the 29th, Evvle Burns, infant child of T. P. and N. E. Hobson died, and was buried the follow? ing day at Sandy Springs. The farmers are very busy gathering corn and cotton while the good weather continues. We were recently shown a very fine sample of cane syrup manufactured by Messrs. Hay and Hembree. 0! my, but didn't we feel bad last week when we read what ''M," the Prospect correspondent, said about raising beagle hounds-for sale being as bad as pulling fodder "on shares?" We felt bad, real bad, felt like we had been struck with a stack of hay. We once beard of a simple minded man who wanted to enter society, and whose father advised him to never talk much, and people would never find out he was a fool, but this young man spoiled it all tbe very first chanoe be got by saying "daddie told me not to say very mu.cb, and you'ns would never know I was a fool " So. if "MV had not made a little gratuitous fling at raising beagles, very few people would ever have known tbat be i3 not a good fodder puller "on shares" We are under many obligations to "M" for saying something about "'pos? sum and 'taters." If he bad not men? tioned it we would have entirely forgotten to give anew way to hunt 'possums, as given us by a friend some time since. It does not require a dog, not even a beagle. A burjle and a persimmon is all tbe outfit required. The plan is this: before start? ing play a tune or two on the bugle if you can, and if you can't, blow it awhile any? how to attract the 'possum's attention, and then carry tbe bugle to some seques? tered vale and drop a nico mellow per? simmon down tbe big eud of it, and lay it down on a log. The idea is that tbe 'possum, smelling the persimmon, will crawl in the bugle and get fast. We have never tried this plan, and don t put much confidence in it, but suppose if tbe 'possum is caught that way, it is all right. The contract for building Reeves' bridge across Six and Twenty, was awarded last Friday to Messrs. Bolt, Hewin & Bolt for $190.00, to be completed by the first of Decein ber. Mt. J. Thos.

Perhaps it IB because their prospects are gloomy. The farmers are busy from early till late gathering cotton. "Every hand on the farm, and every child from the cradle up, must go to the cotton field. The old mau himself, who complains all the time of a etiiT back, must be there to make the full number. He says: "0, if I was young like you all are, I would never want to rest." The farmers seem to think that the price of cotton is higher now than it will ever be again j consequently they are crowding the gins with so much cotton that some of the ginners are compelled to run their gins nearly all night. A great many of our neighbors are car? rying cotton to Pelzer. They claim that it pays in both price and weight. Cotton is opening very rapidly now, but as jack frost has already been seen, it is feared that he will return soon with re-inforcements, and capture'a large per cent of cotton. Some ot the farmers in this section have been sowing oats. If the turnip forms a part of tho corn shuckiog dinner this year, as is generally 1 the case, the time is some distance off yet, I but as the potato crop is good, and the ? cook can turn the potatoes into custards, slice-pies and the frying pan, there will be no "go back" in the dinner. Corn-shuck? ing business is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Several years ago when the farmer made corn thoir principal crop, it was customary to invite all the neigh? bors for two and three miles around, both black and white. There were generally a number of lively young ladies present, who, with a jug of whiskey, always made things as happy as the occasion could afford. When the darkey took his dram, and the young man took his seat by the prettiest girl in the neighborhood, it was considered no task for the bands to shuck five hundred bushels of corn in one night. Such times have passed, and it seems to us that our fathers enjoyed Eleasures which we are deprived of. We now our father, (he is in Texas now) who went to a corn-sbucking one night, and sat on an icy pumpkin by the side of a young lady, who afterwards became bis wife, and we doubt that his sons will ever have Buch enjoyment. It has not been a hundred years since a young man, who is a favorite- of a number of ladies, went to see his favorite girl. About nine o'clock in the night he made preparation to start home. -He took the young lady's band to bid her good night, Haid: "won't you give me a ki-s-8 before I leave?" Her answer was a posi? tive "'no," but the embarrassed interro? gator still held the hand, and continued to beg and plead for "just one kiss," till the clock struck ten, when the old man, who was in an adjoining room, was aroused. He heard the the young man say, **I cannot, and will not, go home till you kiss me." This saying was repeated until the old man became tired, and he roared out, "daughter, for. the Lord's sake give him a kiss and let "him go." Tho only thing that disturbed the old man then, was the noise the young man made as he went over the yard paling near the gate. The young man' says accidents will hap? pen, and has written to Fred D. Bush to know the price of second class tickets to Texas. Chate. Prospect Items. It was our. pleasure to accept a kind invitation to witness the holy bonds of matrimony celebrated between Mr. J. D. Ricbavdson, formerly of Jackaon County, Ga., but now residos near the city of Anderson, and Miss Adelia Wbittaker, second daughter of Mr. J. N. Wbittaker. Everything was well arranged for the occasion, and at eleven o'clock a. m., the bride and groom presented themselves on the floor, and in a few minutes Bev. Bax? ter Hayes had made both hearts and lives one. ?n the day following, this happy couple left the residence of the bride's fatber and went to the home of the groom.

But they were determined to reach the Georgia side, so they letc thi-ir wagon and team on this side and crossed the river in a bateau. Tbe young ladies then had to walk one mile before reaebb? their destination. They had not gone far before they came to a pond of water, and as there was no chance to go around it, they had to wade through. One of the ladies lost her shoes. In a few days they started borne, and on the way the coopUr-g-pole of their wagon broke. The yonmj ladies went to work and Boon repaired it, and landed home safp. Three cheery for such brave girls.
