Some of us hare had a time finding something to feed with. a - w 11 i - - - cxado oi me Doys captured a fat o'posram right on Main street Tuesday morning early. The old fellow was caught near the Court House. Maybe he was hunting for the polls to cast his vote for some favorate candidate. We presume the candidates are glad that the election is over and the final roll is called. They have been puttiDg in some hard licks and many of them appear almost worn out from the unusual exertion.

Inside each shuck is a tiny growth, an ear of corn in its first stage. We have never seen anything like it before and we are unable to account for the i freak of nature. It is on exhibition in Thb Times office. Saturday was a day of politics in r Union. From the depot to the court i house could be seen men gathered in i little knots earnestly discussi.ig the various candidates and their chances, r The friends of every catdidate, State and oonnty, were putting in their best > licks.

Jonesville, Sept. 8.?The oool wave has passed and the hot wave has followed and now it is raining a good rain which will do so much good to full crops. The cotton crou grows beautifully lestevery day.

The smallpox h still lioMiug base on a rew i ami lies in tuc country, all colored except one family. Mr. John T. Fowler's family has two cases. Mr. Fowhr'a son was ' ff in North (Carolina at work ami came home and brought th?? small pox inlo the family. It is a common thing to hear people say i he seasons have changed and are somewhat different from what, they oi.cv were, and so do the customs of the country change when the bicycle first cauie into use. A few years ago the white men only used them, later on the ladies took to them and at first I could not be recQ .ciled to see a young lady humped upon a byke, but I soon fell In line and I bought oup for a little niece and give it to h?c and I was just happy to- see her spinning along on her wheel, but she soon became tired of it and no* she never usee it. In fast the ladies have about abandoned them, and the white m m nan them but little, but the d irkey has made a run for the wheol ami it ii no u: c ?mmon thing to see a ha f dozen coons all in a gang on their wheels. The other night I Wits sitting in the piazza and I heard a buzzing noise like a huge bug and I just cringed, expecting a big bug to come down on my pate but it soon passed away. The next day I heard the same noise and looked out and 1 beheld a fellow spinning along the street on a wheel and lie had something attached to the wheel that made a noise like a gong and I saw at once that I was not up to date Well I don't know what wlil come along next to scare a fellow thit is not up-to-date. It may be a fijing machine blowing a trumpet. If it is I will hand in ray checks on the spot. This makes me thiDk of something that happened in the fall of 180*2 on Pea Ridge.

The baloon sailed along for a few miles before it landed just above the tree top? and all Pea Ridge was awe stricken thinking it was the angry Gabriel coming to deolare that time should be no more. As soon as the air ship lit a crowd gathered round aud Bully Garner and Jid P< rter were about to kill the professor for scaring the people so, and they would ; have killed him but Low was a free mason and he made the sign of distress and John McCassick being present and a mason too, he went to the relief of professor Low and saved his life, and he was ai allowed to fold his air ship and go to ti Union and take the train and return to b his home through the lines So much tl for masonry. p Miss Sunie Eagleton nee Littlejohn of f, Leghorn Valley, is visiting relatives in a( town. si Our boys and girls will be returning to = college all along now for the next month. .
