Will Davis, the colored gent, who w.-s recklessly shooting his pistol at Carlisle some ?en days ago and who is now serving out his sentence of thirty days on the couitty chain gang, will have another charge to answer for when he gets through with his thirty days. It seems that a day or so before he became t>oistrous he entered the dwelling of Hon. .J. S Welch and stole a 38 calibre Smith & Wesson pistol, cam* up to Union and traded it to Mr. Ed Humphries at the Company Store for his and got $4.00 to boot. He possibly invested some of the boot in blind tyger, and was feeling too big for the town of Carlisle when he got buck and began his open air pistol practice. The stolen pistol was traced and recovered, and now Mr. Humphries is minus his pistol and his four dollars, Humphries' pistol has been hid away by the negro's family. Davis will be tried for this theft next. - m Charges Denied, Mr. Durham, of the Comptroller General's nlTlee mines nut in > r-n..ln ? vv..?vw WMV <U ??

The week was the hottest of the season and the highest temperatures ever recorded in August occurred at a number of points. With the exception of light, scattered thunder storms in the central and western counties on the 12th, there was an entire absence of rain, and little or 110 dew during the nights. The sky was generally cloudless, the temperature high were conditions that were extremely damaging to all crops, checking their growth, wilting, burning aud withering them. Early corn was loo nearly matured to be much hurt, but late corn failed rapidly and is in a critical condition for lack or moisture. Fodder is drying on the stalks, many of which have not eared, U/hilp manu rtf tho oaeo Ufa ?*-? fhrt ? j Wf WUV/ vuio nic 1U OLIO JIII i I\ j and on such the grain is shriveling. The heat and dryness caused cotton to shed leaves, bolls and forms freely, and also caused half-grown bolls to oi>en. Premature opening is general. The tirst new b;ile was marketed on the Oth. Picking has begun at a number of i>oints and will soon be general. Peas are shedding leaves in places, but continue promising generally, although in need of rain. The need of rain is- general and for all crops. Correspondents report the general crop outlook to be gloomy. Union-?Santuc: Very hot; sunshine and winds dried lands astonishingfy fast; all crojis are suffering badly; corn and cotton deteriorated faster than ever befoi e known in the same time; corn in some tields appear as though frost bitten; cotton shedding to tho top; much corn has no ears at all; crop growth at a complete standstill.?E. W. Jeter. In Destitute Circumstances. We learn that there is a family 011 tho hill of the name of Neil who are in destitute circumstances. The family consisted of father and mother and live children. It seems two of the children, a son of seventeen and a daughter of ten, were attacked with typho malarial fever and tin mother and father were later attacked, anil all four down together leaving only two girls, one thirteen, the other live or six years old. It was impossible for these two children to give proper attention to the sick ones. The bread winners of the family being down with the fever the family soon got in bad shaiK;. The mother soon died, the others are still sick. This family is reduced to very needy circumstances and their case should appeal to the hearts of all who are at all charitably inclined. A petition written by the Mayor, setting A, ?1. ?1.a t.UUl.U ~ HA.!

It will a be surprise to many to know that a family in such need of assistance is in our midst. Dr. Douglass is tho physician in charge, and is doing everything in his power for the f?offerers. Mrs. Hart, a neighbor, has rendered what assistance she could to the ulliicted family. The object of the petition is to secure a nurse to give proper attention to the holpless sick ones. A charitable contribution for such a cause will bring its reward.
