G. iUUiiuweu, uj a jyuufc uv6.w ' man hrl ihft nmf of Georce man dj iae name 04 uwrc Manuel. Mr..floilo well formerly lived in Gold-boro, but is now a resident!! of this j county, living three miles from Smithfield. He is an excellent citizea, as peacea bleandrqaiet as: any citizen in the counky. He lost one of bis legs in the late war. Mr. Hoi lowell came up from Goldsboro Saturday night, and on the same train was the negro Manuel, the negro was drunk, and all the way continued to pick at and inault Mr. Hollpwell, by robing against and spitting 00 him, till fiually r. Hollbwell punched h'm off, The negro began cursing and tbreatnihg to kill Hollowell, and when the train arrived in Smith field, Manuel ran into a store gathered' up a two-pound scales weight, ran out on the sidewalk and struck Mr. Hollowell in the month with the weight. The blow was a powerful and serious one. Mr. Hollowell's nose was mashed, his upper lip laid open, and several of his teeth knocked ont, and others broken oft. The blow paralyzed Mr. Hollowell fOr a while. A physician was called in j and the cut lip was sewed np. Manuel was lodged in jail, add on the preliminary hearing before Mayor Fuller on Monday born ing, the offender was sent to jail in default of a justified bond of $500, where he will.perhap8 spend winter quarn ters until; our February term of court, at least. As the cold season approaches, offenders Jfeeem to seek refuge from the storms by taking close quarters iu jail. The outlook is that there will be a well filled criminal docket at February court. The condition of Dr. L. E. Kirkman.we are pleased to state, Is thought to be somewhat im proved, though he is quite sick yet. He has been confined to his bed nearly four weeks, and is of course very weak. His brother Dr. Kirkman, of ChaN ham, who was telegraphed for a few days ago, is with him. Rev. Mr. Mend en hall, the Quaker evangelist, is assisting Rev. J. B. Perry in conducting a meeting at the Methodist church at Smithfield. Rev. J. R. Jones, of the Baptist church, also as-! sists in the meetings, which began Sunday night. While there are no penitents, still the interest, if l to be judged of by the large congregations, is great. A good revival 1 is hoped for by all good people here. The noted evangelist is a man of deep thought, and is a powerful speak er. His discourses are deeply intere8ting If one who was familiar with Smithfield and its trade five years ago should, without know ing anything about the new im petas given to things by the completion of the railroad to.tbis place, if such a person, I say, should come here now and wit ness the bustle and activity to be seen in our stores and the crowd, ed streets almost daily, be would simply be ; astonished at the growth of buslness.in so short a time. j : The farmers say they have made no clear money this year, bat three out of every . four with whom the writer baa talked, who worked hired labor, say they cannot clear expenses on their crops, as the actual cost has been more than the crops wiU bring. ow the only way I see any money mUrming is to diversify crops; plant o De-fourth j the quantity of land in cotton, make it rich, and then plact tobacco as the leading money crop. It it to bo hoped that there will be ten times the tobacco crop raised in Johnston next year, that wa raised this. NiFFUB. If personal notes of the arri val and departure of yourself or friends do not always apjtenr in The Bud it's not always the fault of the editor, but frequent ly the result of your own negli gence. When your friends ar rive let us know. ,Send us their names. We are at all times glad to reeeive'news notes of this kind. These personal notes make in teresting reading matter fcr a local paper. If Spain should decline to re ceive Carry; as Italy and Austria rejected Keiley, Mr. Bayard will be forced to the conclusion that Richmond is not a good place to choose diplomatists. Philadel phia Jtmet, 2nd. Rep, Country editors will heartily agree with Saul Jones in his statement that . "it takes less sense to criticise than it does to do anything else in the world. ' No one knows this better than the editor of a country weekly. 'I haven't had a bite for two days," pleaded a tramp. ls it possible V answered the woman with sympathy.

People give the name zeal to their propensity to mischief and violtnce, though it is not the cause, but their interest, that in flames them. Nearly, all the papers in the State are advising the farmers to try a tobacco crop. - Martha O. Griffin, Brown's C, Ala., says : I hare suffered with heacl ffche and pains in my back for fire rears.
