A MOMENT AT PIEPMONT. —
On last Friday we paid a hasty visit
to Piedmont Springs, where wo were
oordially greeted by Capt. Taylor, the
clever and highly esteemed manager.
We had not been on tho scene long
e'er tbo Capt. invited his guests to the
commodious parlor whero the instru
mentalists were "sawing" off voluptuous
awells of music. The music ended, the
"long roll ' summoned all to the dining
room where a sumptuous aud palatable
pieal was in waiting.
Wo four.d a very respcctablo oompany
patronizing these popular Springs, and
the number will be handsomely increased
this week. All who oomo may rest as
sured that they will be well fed and re
coivs every possible attention that will
tend to make their stay pleasant.
Supper over—our moment up—wo
aboard the swift-wheeled coeveyanoa and
aro toon on the streets of Danbury.
J. W. Thomas, Esq , of Tbomasvillo,
has purohased the lands of W. 11. Reid,
some 5 miles of this place, on Snow
Creek, whero ho intends to engage in
fnrming, stock-raising and the lumber
business, at an early day. The REPOR
TER extends a hearty weloomo to Mr. T.
with tho hope that others will soon fol
low. The world is beginning to see
what Stokes is, and with a railroad she
will receive a note of praise from Choro
koc to Currituck.
Harris Hairston, 001., was arrested
near Buffalo Church, in Snow Creek
township, on last Monday, for having
wantonly approached the house of Wm.
S. Hampton, and finding Mr. H. absent
he prooeeded to make advanoes on Mrs.
[I., and threatened to Bhoot her if she
did not acquies to his demands, thereby
frightening the lady so much that sho
is at present dangerously prostrate.
Hairston now bathes his weary soul in
the sea of meditation within our jail.
Tho New American Sewing Machine
is fast becoming the most popular ma
ehino of the age, owing to the many
good points which they possess; a few
of which are the self setting needle, self
thre diDg nhnT'M%ti>l stop motion by
which tho bobbin cSu be wound without
removing the strap from tho balance
wheel, unthreading tho machine, or dis.
turbing the work. It is light running,
simple, durable and neat in its construc
tion, and by far tho best sewing machine
in tho world.
"MY GRANDMOTHER'S CHURN."—
Tho above is title of a new and sup
erb song and chorus, published by R
VV. Carroll & Co, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
It is a song that should take the place
of the worn-out "Grandfather's Clock."
The poetry and music combine in a high
degree, simplicity, beauty anil sweetness,
and will reach the popular heart. The
solo has a captivating vein of tenderness
running through it, while tho rousing
chorus is a fine representation of the
work the dear "Grandmother's Churn"
used to do. No 000 should fail to get
a copy of this striking beautiful compo
sition. Price 30 cts. For sale by all
music dealers, cr by the publisher.
ACCIDENT. —
Mr. D. W. Dodd, of this county,
while on his way to this place last Tues

hill, several utiles distant, one wheel of
his conveyance ran over a stone and
threw him forward upon his horse's back
from whence ho slipped to a perilous
position between the shafts aud the ani
mat's hind legs. He miraculously sue
eecded in extricating himself from this
posture only to be caught beneath the
wheels. Tho animal continued to move
on until he arrived at Piedmont Springs
where he was arrested, and a party re
traced the route until they met Mr. D
He was escorted to Piedmont, and after
haviug rested a few hours, concluded to
return home but found himself unable
After another brief rest he succeeded in
getting off Some fear is apprehcuded
that Mr Dodd has been seriousiy injured.

EDITOR OF THE REPORTER :
The strong hand of death is still
making its sway in this neighborhood ;
but as we are all born to die we should
not bo surprised at death's appro ich :
Mrs. Milly Boyles, wife of Mr. Hen
ry Boyles, died the 2d of August, of
typhoid fever, leaving her dear compan
ion and two of her beloved children,
not only to uiourn the loss of a compan
ion and moAer, but confined to the bed
of afHiction Some of Mr. Boyle's fam
ily have been sick for a month proyious
to the death of Mrs 8., and since that
time they have all, except one little girl,
been seized by the mighty hand of dis
ease. Now, in the bereavements of this
aiok family, may they be cheered by the
quick approach of that health which
they once sustained, is our fervent
prayer.
Mrs Susan Young, of this neighbor
hood, is lying at jho point of death—
having fits. May she soon enjoy the
health sho once possessed.
The las ing wheels of death,
Are fast rolling us along ;
And we who are but left,
Will soon them mount upon.

And as they roll we go
To Kternltie's land ;
But waiting pilgrims think them slow?
The time is near at hand. W. J. J.
A $340 OROAN FOR sßs.
Mr. Daniel H". Beatty, of Washington, N.
J., appears to bo determined that all who care
to have parlor organs can get them, for he
will sell during a limited period an instru
ment whicn it is said is equal in every way to
the kind usually sold for SB4O, for tho very
much reduced price of SBS. If this invita
tion to the public from Mr. Beatty is respon
ded to in the spirit that it is made, every
hamlet in the land will very soon have in it a
musical advertisement of the New Jersey Or
gan Builder. Mr. Beatty has recently made
an extended tour through Europe, and he
expresses himself confident of having learned
many things that will profit the purchasers
of the organs he proposes to sell at one-quar
ter the price usually obtained for a handsome
instrument of the class to which his belong.
It had as well bs borne in mind by those
considering the offer that it is only for a limi
ted period, aud the low price lit to induce
people to buy the organ in order that the
manufacturer may show to tho public the
peculiar excellence which he claims it to
possess. See his advertisement.
