Business in ihe mayor's court is -till in a prosperous condition. All last week it was quite brisk and yes terday morning the ‘ Saturday sin ners” were very much it: evidence— 'he usual charge of ' drunk and dis orderly’' star,ding against them. The city treasury was enriched by several dollars and the chaingang received a new addition in the per son of a big. strapping son of Ham. White "fft-nders were very much in the majority yesterday morning, how ever and some forfeited their bonds by failing to appear for trial The first case called was against a whiie man for having taken on so much of the “chemically pure” as make a disord -rly persoti He was not, on liand to tell whv he had done so, and his bond of $2 50 was for feited The two cases directly following were both against, white men for the satne off-mse. They, likewise, were ah-^nt and their bonds, aggregating -1i7 50 were turned in to the city Teasury. The last, case was that of the City Council against one Belton Brown, colored for being drunk and disor derly and for striking a white man in the head with a rook The row oc curred Saturday night at a colored restaurant in the city. Some white men were eating supper there and whiskey probably formed the liquid refreshment B.-lr, happened to pass at the time and claims that he heard some jowering ’ inside and. it be ing a public place, stepped in to see "’hat was the matter and probably wiiii toe intention of raking part in the proceedings himself as he was loaded’ for that kind of business The testimony of the witnesses was conflicting as is usually the case in such occurrences but it developed that B-lt and one of the white men t.ad a,.me "hot” words and th^n Belt let drive af him with a rock His aim was had though, arid instead of fl toring his anrag inisf the r'ck stni'-k another man ull on the bead s-ith such force as to knock him down and completely disable him for awhile As so*hi as the thrower saw what Ire had done he. of e >urse, took leg bail and left for other parts.

Personal Items. m’orrestjondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jaxe Sept. 7.—For on*- week farmers have had fair weather and they h-tve been making use of it pull ing fodder, cutting hay and doing other farm work The fodder gen erally, is of very little value, being torn by the wind and hail. The grass is generally good on rich land. With favorable w-ather for a few days longer people will save a good deal of forage S'>tn u people think it will pay them better to house their sugar cane for horse feed than to make it up into molasses and buy their food The 8arratt Bros are repairing their dam at Thomson’s mill. It lias been down nearly all summer. Mr. C. F lomau has a hundred busheis of peas if he can get then; saved. Mgs Agnes Simpson, of Chester county, is visiting her cousin Miss Salli*- Estes. The health of our country is pretty good. Dr Black i-ay- he has had no calls for a few days and no bad cases on hand now. Mr. W. A Whisnant. of Blacks burg, ip down on his plantation near Wilkinsville, looking after his ore mill work. Mr John R, Peeler, one of the old land marks, gave us a call one da.\ this week. Mr P-eler has lost a line corn crop hv the river oveifluwing it. After the first freshet in which his cotion was destroyed he planted the land in corn and now ‘hat is destroy ed too. In many places cotton is doing no good. The fruit is not on it. It has plenty of weed but, that is all. The crop can’t possibly be more than that of last year. The weed is turning yellow in many places, especially on gray land and the bolls are opening prematurely. Good crops of turnips are being sown and will make hog feed. Hands are not making contracts fast tor next year Everything seems to be on a stand still in this respect We have never seen so much despond ency among our people as at the pres ent time. During the wind storm of three weeks ago the farm hell of Mr Jeff Hughes was blown out of the tre- where it was hanging; however it come to the ground without breaking, bringing the tree top with it. Those of our readers who are early risers can have a good view of th- starry heavens these clear morn ings About daylight the ‘ seven s'ars,” or Pleiades, are seen nearly di rectly over our heads.

These names are (many of them), of great antiqui ty. Ezekiel, J<-b, Isaiah. Amos, «nd most of the inspired writers, make mention of these and we are not deal ing with heathen mythology when wo study them arvd their officers as per taining to the universe. The Psaun- isi says: “He counts tlie number of Um stars. He names them every one, Our Lord is ^ireat and of great power. His wisdom searc-i can none.

Suffice it to say. we rejoice with them who do rejoice. Brother Creech is unconsciously fulfilling a remark he made to the writer last winter. It was this: ' I would rather be a big preacher in a little place, than a little preacher in a big place.” He is about right, too, in our opinion. J L s. JAMES RILEY BLANTON.

Gn Satur lay morning last just as the first faint heralds of a new day began to appear in the far east, the long and useful life of our much es teemed fellow countrymen, Mr James Riley Blanton, came to a close—went out wiln i he night, as it were. M hi e he had not been particularly ill up to that time, he 8e»-med to be aware of his impending doom, as it is said he asked if it were day, and upon being informed t hat it was, he r* quested that lie might see the light of one more day. When his request hail been granted and h u had locked out j upon the world as it began to brighten under the approach of morning, lie fell back in his bed and expired. No struggle, no gasping Tor breath, bu' a quick, calm and peaceful pa-sing beyond, fift^- -'• x from this life into what lies Mr Blanton whs about of He vvas a nativ Union county, and was at one firm auditor of that county, filling the unexpired terrrr of another ami serv ing one term by eKction to the office About a year ago he took charge of ihe county chaingang. which position he faithfully fi'led until some three or more months ago. when ill h.alth cau-ed him to seek a change of em ployment. A short time ago he moved up into the country a few miles above Gaffney f or the purpose of farming, and it was there that his end came. He had been a sufferer from heart trouble for some time, and it was that disease which brought on his sudden, death. At the age of fifteen Mr. Blanton volunteered for service in the Confed erate army, which was then at the beginning of the war. He made a brave and faithful soldier and final ly n ceived a wound in the leg at the battle of Sharpsburg .vhich totally disabled him. and has caused him to go on crutches many rimes since. As he was a faithful soldier in war, so was he a good / and true citizen in peace; and he was respected and es teemed by every one who knew him He was too well known throughout this and adjoining counties to need any eu'ogy from us; and we have not attempted, nor shall we attempt, to say aught, of his many virtues, know ing that we could out do so in fining terms The remains were taken to Corinth for interment. Mr. B'anton having at one time been a member of that church. Rev A. D Davidson con ducted the funeral exercises which, it is said, were attend d by the largest concourse of people that had wer been seen at that church.
