right on Main street Tuesday morning

in some hard licks and many of them
appear almost worn out from the unusual
exertion.

JONESVILLE J0TTIN6S.
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. Pour to six weeks sgu colton
promised a good yield but hot winds,
dry weat her and a scorching sou told t
tale of woe for the ii.il -n and it failed

The smallpox h still lioMiug base on a

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.
Professor Low, a yankee had a ballon- to
go up along the Yankee lines in VirninSn

and fortifications whioh gave the janks
much information about our army and it
so happened that the professor had his
baloon up in Ohio and he started down
to his army in Virginia, but he struck a
current that carried him like an arrow
and by the middle of the afternoon he lit
on Pea llidge, near where the town of
Keltones is now located. 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

A few bales of cotton was gined by 1,1

Bought Their Fall Goods.
The merchants who left for the ,0
Northern markets last week have
mostly all returned. As there wero
no special inducements in "spring
goods," and it being rather late in fa
the season for "spring goods" they ot
devoted themselves entirely to the y<
purchase of elegant lines of Fall 80

A Remark-able Record.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
markable record. It has been in use
r over thirty years, during which time
any million bottles have been sold and
ted. It lias long been the standard and
ain reliance in the treatment of croup
thousands of homes, yet during all this
me no case has ever been reported to
e manufacturers in which it failed to
feet a cure. When given as soon as
e child becomes hoarse, or even as soon
i the croupy cough appears, it will presnt
the attack. It is pleasant to take,
any children like it It contains no
