Winston, of Johnson county, was on our market last week with some real good tobacco. So it seems that the farmers of old Johnson are turning their attention to the cultivation of tobacco. Our professional men are always on the lookout for improvements. Dr. C. 1). II. Fort has added to his dental rooms a new gas apparatus for extracting teeth without pain. He has also put in new furniture. We are more than gratified to learn that Kev. J. T. (Jibbs, who was thrown from his 'uggy and severely injured a few days ago, is out of danger, and will soon be able to continue his labors in the vineyard of the Lord. The Attorney Oeneral sajrs that there is less crimes in this State than in most others. The average number of criminal cases per county, last year, was 80.

The late Fielding Knott had an in surance policy of 15,000 on his life in the Equitable Life Insurance Company of New York. This company is very prompt in its dealings and has sent to Mr..!. B.

You will find in another column an ad vertisement of the Bemis Tobacco Trans planter, which should undoubted receive your careful attention, as it is the one thing needful to make tobacco a success. It will enable you to set out your tobacco at any time and have your tobacco uni form in size. One machine with a driver and two boys can set out from three to six acres in a day. This beats setting out by hand and it is one of the most conven ient labor saving machines ever invented for use in the tobacco section. Several farmers can club together and buy a ma chine, which will make the cost compara tively small. Mr. F. M. Rogers, Jr., the great tobacco grower of Florence, S. C, had one of these machines in use last year and told us "it was the greatest thing of the kind he ever saw, and would not be without one for double the cost.'' AVrite for circular and further information to the Fuller & Johnson Manufacturing Co., Madison, Wis.

Godwin and his intended locked arms and marched out, to. gether, the attendants following. As the' stepped in front of the preacher Miss Oliver coolly informed Godwin that she had given up the notion of getting mar ried. This effectually put a stop to the ceremonies. Her father stepped forward and told the would be groom that, per haps, it would be better to desist from all further proceedings and leave for home. Goodwin quietly retired, got into his bug gy and departed. No reason for Miss Oliver's strange conduct is given. Rig stock Buggies and wagons and prices the lowest at Owen, Barbour $c Smith.

Mr. R.L.Clarke, of rabbit foot noto riety, has killed another turkey, and he is now in search of another grave-yard rab bit. He is after the right hind foot this time, and if it proves as great a charm as the one row in his possession, with a foot in each pocket his power over the turkeys wiil no doubt be as great as that of Or pheus', whit by his music could cause even the stones to leave their beds and follow him. We learn from a recent issue of your paper that " vVyoming Territory ia one of the few places whre women have any direct influence upon legislation, and they propose to put a special tax on bachelors." We should judge from the number of bachelors that the women rule around here. If it is right to tax a bachelor then would it not be right to make it a misde meanor for a girl to refuse an honest offer of marriage ami thus allow the poor fel lows a chance to offset their accounts.

His glorious mel- f ody no longer thrills us with pleasure. He was interred under the favorite rustic seat in the flower yard by gentle and lov ing hands. Below we give some lines on his death : Farewell, dear Cooper, my bird, farewell, Words are too weak my bitter grief to tall. The loneliness I feel, And cannot all conceal, Xor with the pen reveal, Finds no respite By day or night. An exile with us from the Eastern nest, Thy charming note did cheer us in the At morn, at noon, west, At eve, thy tune Beguiled dull cares With varied airs.
