On last Saturday we concluded to spend h day at Jenkicsburg, as we bad cleaned out our crop and Wanted to have a day of rest. Bright and early we were off. In ! passing many corn 'and cotton tields we found tbe crops fine and well worked. While the stalk is low it bids fair to make a good yield.When we arrived at the “Burg” wo found a large crowd on the ground. We also noticed many fine turnouts dashing through thestreets, and blue ribbons fluttering to the winds, with a small detach-j ment “tipping the light lanlastic” in a hall near by. When dinner time arrived we felt a light tap on ; the shoulder, and on turning around found it was our old friend N. J. Harmon, an old time homemade Jeffersonian democrat of the iirst water, who believes that the will of the people should be the supreme law of the land. He conducted us to his little coti: ce on the hill, where we were invited to partake of an old fashion tome spur, dinner, prepared by bis excellent lady, consisting of all the good things usually found on a modern fanner's table. Mr. Harmon is a rising young man of Butt6 county. He has overcome all the ad verses of a poor man’s life and now bis word is good authority oif all the leading questions of the dav.Alter spending a few hours with the people of Jenkinaburg we re.-turned to old Biackankle with the consciousness that we had hurt 1 nothing nor nobody but Mr. Har -inons fried chickens.The “glorious fourth” was celebrated at McKibben Institute by opening the school with twenty-three scholars with a fair prosi*ect for at least forty' in ten days. Each patron is a trustee and all work for j each other’s interest. Prof. Mang- j ham is a good disyplinarian, and if I each pupil will follow his rules, suc-; cess will be ihe result.PnoWHAJiDLES.
