A Dastard!/ Trick. A colored man, named John son, came to town last week to exhibit his horse at the colored fair. He purchased a nice set of harness for the neighborhood. McCall spent press. Our merchants say that trade is improving a little, but col lections are very poor. This is on account of the short cotton crop. The farmers, however, are not as much discouraged as might have been expected under the circumstances. Most of them have made fine corn crops and are sowing large amounts of oats and wheat. They will try to tide over the hard year just ahead with plenty of corn, home raised pork and a fine po tato Ci'Op. The Lydia young ladies and gentlemen had better look to their laurels in the matter of opossum hunting, for the young people in this neighborhood are indulging in the same sport. One night recently a party went on a hunt, but failed to catch a single opossum. They say that they went the wrong way and that their dogs were not good. They had a good time all the same. Your cor- respon lent was very much dis appointed at the result, for he fully expected to crack opossum bones for several days. Mrs Eliza A. DuBose died on Friday night at about 12 o’ciock.

She was a devoted member of the Methodist church from child hood and always lived a good Christian life. She was appar ently in good health and her unexpected death saddens the whole community and the many friends of the family extended their sincere sympathy. LAMAR.

Stewart hitched his horse to his buggy one day last week to go to church and stepped back into his house for a moment, leaving the horse alone. The animal dashed off across the plantation and ran over Mr. Stewart's little three- year-old child, knocking it un- concious and it remained so for sometime. The iiorse continued on its course and, striking a stump, demolished the buggy. Its Medicine. The Chick Medicine Company is in town.
