WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1885. vbscriftion $2 00 PljC-Tall Alley. _ In the long ngo before the Court House was burned, there was a row 01 disreputable and filthy houses occupying the space now covered by O'Neill's boautiful range of law offices. These unsavory habitations gave to the street immediately in front of them the euphonious sobriquet of Pie;-tail nllej\ Since the destruction of the cause, the cfFuct has ceased to exist also. The reason of the name no longer existing the name itself has yielded gracefully to the more pretentious title of Water street; and this fame Water street is now giving the Town Council a good final nf IrnnKIn In nri1i>r tn nroviilp a respectable plaza for the O'Neill range a atone wall was eroded across Wutor street at the lower end of the law offices and the street was raised to the level almost of the yard in front of the old law offices by O'Neill & Sons. J This was certainly a great improvement to the range, but it blockaded the street, and now the present Council are obliged to grade the street from tM top of this four feet wall towards the public spring, on .a gentle slope, 'i tie old uouncu gave O'Neill permission to make his improvements with fin understanding with the adjacent land owners thnt the town would pay for the grading what the new Council ia now compelled to have done ? A Novel Case. The Greenville iVci/v? gives an account of a recent case tried there before Judgo Prossley, in which one of our prominent barristers was plaintiff and a very prominent member of that bar a defendant. It seems that Mr. E. G. Graydon had performed certain legal offices for Mr. Edward F. otokea, of Groenville. with his usual ability and success, for which Mr. Edward F. Stokes oositivtlv and reoeatedlv refused to make th* proper reward. A small matter, which strange to say, lawyers in every clime and in every state of mind, are very particular about. It is generally supposed by those who do not consider themselves so unfortunate as to belong to it, that this branch of "Eve's family," should subsist without the assistance of that very insignificant article "commonly ctlled greenbacks,'' but how one of the fraternity could be so blinded to a just comprehension oT the professional position upon the question, we eannot imagine. At any rate s*ch was the unfortunate state of affairs when Mr. Graydon was compelled to invoke the assistance of a Judge and jury to convince Mr. Ktokes that the aforesaid little business must be adjusted. "Uaw as n. Tru-nip." Maj. It. E. Gibert' one of the descendants of thai vory remarkable portion of our forefathers, the French Huguenots, is a very remarkable old man. He is "quite a fellow" and relates the following characteric incident of Judge McGowan : Th?'J udge had then just been elected Colouel of a. reiriment of militia. at and for the first time wan in command At a grand muster at Shinburg, many TKo \ft?ior who. commanded . ..illi.-l l i ' iS i .

The Major witn tnis auditional honor of keeping a Colonel straight straddled the responsibility and every thing parsed off well. Such early training had doubtless no little to do with perfecting the old Brigadier, who has always exhibited that frankness and simplicity which are as beautiful in his character as his valor is magnificient. Farm Work. Seldom at this time in any previous yoar lias there been such forward preparation of the stubborn glebo. The farmers aro aroused to the determination of making a supreme effort this year and their beginning hus been tine. All over the land the plow horse may be seen patiently and slowly turning at the end of tho furrow, and the good work goos nobly on. Cotton land has in a number of instances been bedded up, and much work has boon done in clearing creek and branch bottoms. In a few instances corn has been planted on bottoms. Our BL farmers are too sensible to adopt the upjtt land corn theory of our neighbor the 3fcdittm, and generally limit that product to bottoms and the garden. Great comH plaint is made of the failure of land Jg ownora to cloar rafts and other obstrucH tions from streams. .It does very little B good for one industrious farmer to reH move all obstructions from the stream running through his premisos while hi* neighbor lower down ncglccts the work HI on his part of the line. We are all trust ing for a good crop year. The Presbyterians. At a congregational meeting held ii the Presbyterian Church on Monday afternoon, an open call was extended tc the Rev. J. W. Flinn, of New Orleans Rev. J. O. Lindsay was moderator of the meeting. An open call is understood t( be svnonomous with "stated supply.' In other words Mr. Flinn will preacl: for this Church for a season, perhaps i - S{. year, and then if the relations bctweer " * himself and the congregation provt ! mutually satisfactory, a permanent cal will be extended and he will bccouu the pastor of the Church. Mr. Flinn ii * 'S said to be a minister of considerable talents. The bad health of his wife induces him to desiro a change in his flelt ; ;) of labor. The Church is to be congrat tilatod upon scouring his services. Easter Klection.

Wo sent a draft ton certain bank in New York recently for collection, expecting them to retain their commission and return the balance to us, and to our very great surprise the draft and our letter wart returned with the above comment. The draft was not presented for payment at all and we had to be content with instead ofspondulix the comforting words "we do n^t collect for strangers." It is highly probable that they were not aware of the fact that we sent something | like a million dollars worth of drafts to New York every year. At all events in the years to come we will very possibly be "strangers yet." General Grant. This idol of tjie Army of the Repub12 ? _ ii. .1 ~? ~r .i 1i?
