The total eclipse of the moon took place Sun day night, but unfortunately, the view of the spectators was interrupted considerably by detached masses of light clouds which every now and then hid its face from view and eclipsed the eclipse.

Short Crops Si Harp Times At Halifax on Monday ami Tuesday every body was talkiri!; about the hard limes caused by the short crops and the low prices of cotton. Some said the cotton crop in this section hud deleiiorated al most fifty percent, during tho last thirty days. Tho prospects are anything but promising, uud the general condition of this xeei ion is said by many to be uo better than it was in the fall of 188!), but this cannot be so as there are more corn and other provisions in the county now than there were in ltSS',). Pay rug I'kinteu Promptly. Persons who patronize papers should pay promptly, for the pocuuiary prospacts of the press have a peculiar power in push ing forward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly, and bis pocket book kept plethoric by prompt paying patrons, he puts his pen to his paper iu peace; his paragraphs are more pointed; he paints his pictures of passing events in more pleasing colors, and the perusal of his paper is a pleasure to the people. Please paste this piece of proverbial phil osophy in some place where all persons can perceive it. Death op Capt. James Simmons Capt. James Simmons died Wednesday night of last week at the residence of his son, J. C. Simmons, Esq., a few miles from town. Capt. Simmons was the oldest man in the county, having been born in March 1800, and was therefore in his 92nd year. Until a few month ago he retained his vitality to a remarks ble degree, but sinoe the spring had b come almost helpless from age. He was blind also. But notwithstanding these afflictions he maintained his usual cheer fulness and was the life of every gathering at which ha was present. His heart was always young and young people always delighted to be with him because he was always kind, gentle and full of the spirit of charity, never thinking harshly of any one because he was himself with out guile. Capt. Simmons was at one time very prominent iu the public affairs of this county and was sheriff for many years during which time he conducted the business of the office impartially and never was ought said derogatory to his official or political oonduct even by his political opponents. So great was his popularity that he could have had any thing in the gift of the people, and this popularity he retained till the end of his life. But the most beautiful feature of his admirable character was his implicit faith and trust in his Redeemer. Through all the changes and chances of this mortal life he was ever the same cheerful, trust og, faithful follower of the Master, aod this faith never left him eveu iu the dark i l j -l.i . i . uours wnicu uououes't came to mm as thev do at limes tn wvprv human Ko!n ..WUjj, His pure and blameless life was an en Biunme ior an io emulate, ins met i j was without austerity, his religion without pretense, his life a sermon. His eud was painless and he died as peacefully us one akes rsst from labor in sleep. He was tenderly laid to rest Thursday afternoon at the family burying ground, the R.v. R O. Burton reading the service. There is no death ! The stars go down lo rise upon some 'airer shore j And bright in heaven's jewelled crown I uey shine forever more. There is no death !
