Je Pluera. Tie tender endearments are brokeii That. united us, darling, for years; Thy lips their hlat fond words have s poken, And naught Is now left me but tears. So sadly the night wind is sighig, And so sadly the moon beams above; iu sympathy both seem replying To the miond of my heart for its love. But ah not a thought canli borrow From the night wind or moonbeam to tell The measureless depth of my sorrow, In this awful, relentless farewell T. [For the Messenger. Country Locals. MR.

Mneh cotton has died from ''sore-shin." Bal ance corn and cotton a two week's "journey in the wilderness." Vine and other truck patches flour ishing. Gardens fino-vegeta bles plenty.- E"mpty corn cribs and meat houses plenty, to rent, cheap for cash or barter. Pas tures good and stock doing well. ----Dewberry pies have been slaughtered in an unmerciful way of late, and blackberry an,1id fapple pies are beginning to share the saime fte.--Nearly every week brings out a iew candidate. At! the counting of votes sonie will say I came out "too late." For a candidate (good clever fellow), to rin $10 worth and "get a beating" this hard year, is a job.
