opposition and has abandoned the
sulky and ribbons to give his tiino to
tho maintenance of good order in our
goodly town. John W. Heid's name
was placed on the poll-book for city

the honor thrust upon him. Henry
Camnitz was persuaded to lend dignity
to the ollico and must henceforth be
addressed as your honor.
Tho Inst fall sale of the Williams
farm near Moreland was not ratified till
last. week. Will Hudson, of Columbia,
gets tho house and 40 acres; Ben King
gets the portion adjoining his farm,
which was knocked otF to him at origi
nal sale. Tone Hunn gets the old house
and enough land for a nice little farm,
whilst S. G. Smiley, of Moreland, and a
nephew, of Birmingham, Ala., get nearly
ISO acres of the last of the farm for
less than ?I8 per acre, certainly one of
thu greatest bargains in good blue-grass
land sinco pioneer days. Tito parties
whoso bid for that portion of tho farm
was accepted last fall, declined to take
it and there is much "grief over spilt
milk."
