In making up our local
items last wee we failed to men
tion the Missionary exercise giv
en 'by the children at the .Meth
odist church on Sunday night.
The exercises were very good

well. The exercises were under
the supervision of Mrs. L. F.

the honor for sucll a splendid
nnd delightful entertainment.
j On Saturday evening the
; horse of Mr. J. A. Culbreth ran-
away and threw him and Mr.
; Needham Warren out. Mr. War
ren was thrown head-foremost
against a stump and. so badly in
jured that -he was unconscious
! for several hours. Mr. Culbreth
escaped slightly hurt.
We learn that this county
has no organized board of health
j and that we have- no count'
j superintendent of health. Just
! at- present we need one (and we
should liave one anyway) lor we
don't know what day a case of
small pox might be 'Drought in
to our midst. We don't think
there is-any danger but it is
well enough always to be pre
pared for an emergency, and
at the next meeting of our
county commissioners, we would
suggest that they elect a county
Superintendent of II e a I t h,
whose duty it is to attend the
sick at the county Home and in
the jail and look after contagious
and infectious diseases if any
should occur in our county.
Monday evTening at six
o'clock the ''Fa?t of Esther" be
gan and lasted for twenty-four
hours when it was succeeded by
the "Feast of Purim." This
fast and feast is regarded by the
Jews with strict observance in
memory of Queen Esther,
whose entreaties with the King
saved MordecaiJ from the gal
lows which Hainan had prepar
ed for him, and the Jews from
destruction. The fast is strictly
observed by them and on the
feast day the rich Jews have
banquets that probably rival
the one given by Queen Esther
at which Hainan was a guest
just before he was hanged on
the gallows he had prepared for
Mordecai.
A yellow negro man struck
this town last week and claim
ed to be a doctor. Saturday he
went to the house of John Mc
Lendon, colored, and told his
wife, who had been sick for
some time, that she was con
jured and that he could remove
the spell from olf her if she
would give him some money.
She gave him three dollars and
he found the article which, the
conjurer had used to bring on
the spell under her pillow and
left. He skipped town before
John went home and found that
he had fooled his wife out of
the money. ' He is probably
working the same trick on some
other poor negroes at other
towns. lie aught to be in the
chain gang.
Quite a number of fat beef
cattle have recently been bought
here by Mr. J. A. Galbraith
who ships them to Richmond.
He bin's them by the pound,,
gross weight, and pays from a
cent and three quarters to three
cents a pound, according to the
quality of the beef, for them.
It seems to us that there would
be more money in raising cat
tle at these prices than there is
in cotton at five , cents. There
are a good man' oxen in this
section which if fattened well
would weigh from 1000 to 1250
pounds gross, and $25 or $30 is
no bad price for an ox now. We
can raise cattle cheap here and
it behooves every farmer to im
prove his stock and raise all he
can. There is always a good
market for fat cattle.
