We learn that a petition ia in circula

not looked upon with much favor by the
people of Highlands.
A. M, Parker, the livery man of Sylva,
came up on Saturday with a hack load of
people. He reports Sylva on a boom,
and that it is soon to be the capital of
Jackson county. The Enterirrise is dead,
and its subscription list transferred to

Mrs. Starritt is an old resident of High

Tho school year in Macon county will
be out on the 30th inst Most of the
schools will have finished their term oi
four months in about two weeks. The
attendance has not been so good as last
year, on account of the plentiful crop of
corn, abundance of nuts,' and somewhat
bridges spanning the Gunloco and Chat
tooga rivers, on the morning of the 7th
inst, by the floods, but all this will soon j
be remedied, as Dr. Lucas has already
naa tne, timbers prepare to, wholly re-
air all injuries done to them. So in a I
few days from now travel can resume its

The village of Pine Mountain is flour
ishing, and is destined to continue to in
crease, with its salubrious climate and
fertile soil surrounding: While it is a
perfectly healthy locality, there is quite
a difference in the climate here and at
Highlands, which can be readily under
stood by the difference m altitudes, which
is 1,600 feet here against $,700 feet; at
Highlands.' This difference m altitude,
according to a French scientist, would
make Spring 28 days earlier, and the Fall
6 clays later than with you, as he makes
four days difference for each 100 yards.in

county has now an improved class of
teachers young, wide awake and up to
the times.
For some time, no attention has been
paid by the authorities to. the hogs on
the streets of our town, but the owners
thereof are now notified that they must
keep them at home, as said hogs are
fonder of hunting around back yards and
penetrating within fences than noseing
among the dead leaves of the forest for
nnfs. Our nmintrv frifmrls who own the

ed at this. Hogs are proverbially a nui
sance when running loose, and the com
plaints of citizens are loud and of deep
utterance.
A subscriber, a resident of a distant
State, wants to know what kind of an
animal a razor back is, accounts of
which wild animal he has read of in the
classical communications of Cheops.
He has heard of 'coons and 'possums, but
a razor back is beyond his knowledge.
We, however, hardly dare hazard a
definition, as it may be a Latin term for
very common creature. Perhaps our
clever correspondent (Jheops will en-
ighten our readers, and not puzzle them
so much by hard words.

expect a cold spell of weather to succeed
the full moon, and that the full moon is
usually followed by a fall of tempera-
ture,particularly inNovember andDecem

But how about the Spring montlis ? Pro

be follQwed by warmer weather.
The legislature of South Carolina met
at Columbia on the 24th inst in regular
session. ' The Eeoicee Courier of yester
day published the message of the Gov
ernor, Hugh S. Thompson, in full. In it
he recommends amendments of the pre
sent "cumbersome system of assessment
and taxation."
The large amount of rainfall, abun
dance of good springs and creeks, pure
air, and mild, even temperature, points
out this region around Highlands as the
home of the grasses and clover and 'root

weeks. Hensen was sentenced to two
years imprisonment. He was the leader
of the party in the attack on the High-
ands House last winter for the purpose
of releasing a couple of moonshiners in
the charge of United States officers stay
ing there overnight, when one of the
ttacking party was shot dead by the offi
cers, lienson, heavily armea with bad
whiskey, was taken prisoner in the house,
and the rest of the party decamped, and
mostly escaped apprehension. The Judge
said that if Henson would inform on the
party or parties who incited the trouble
and were at the back of it, so that they
could be brought to justice, there would
be grounds for getting up a petition to
pardon him or to shorten the term of lus
imprisonment.
