There is no season of the year that judicious advertising does uot bring remunerative returns, business men should make « note of this fact. George Johnson disputed with Osear Parker on Friday Iasi, and, Johnson drawing a knife, dared Parker into the road. Parker declined the invitation. The affair was settled before Squire White, by Johnson paying line and costs. Itev. A. W.

If you want choice vegetables go to Fleming & Patterson’s, as they have made arrangements,with a first-class gardner to supply them with the very best and freshest Wednesday anil Saturday mornings.

The broken gates are charged to the couples who hang on them, when the cow is to blame. Some one should set down on her. In spite of the cool weather, Tuesday evening the lawn party given by the ladies of the Presbyterian Church at the Court House park was well attended and the receipts netted nearly $50. The members of the church worked faithfully, aud the affair pissed off very pleasantly. A prominent society young lady attended church a few eveninns since wearing two or three beautiful flowers in the bud. being a rapidly developing flower they bloomed-in all their beauty during service, and spjending to enormous size greatly disturbed tiic youug lady.

The Glorious Fourth. — A meeting was held at Dr. J. B. | Duncan’s office on the uight of the 3d inst. to make arrangements for celebrating the 4th of July. Committees were appointed, and the result of their work'shows a subscription list of $135, added to the amount to l>e received from stand "privileges (405) will make the total 4200. This fund is ample to make a grand display. It is with great delight that we announce that the Princeton band will furnish the music on that occasion. This organization is one of the Issst bands in the country, and met with many ovations en route to the New Orleans Exposition and while there captured all by their music.' The hand contains eighteen picked musicians, and a rare treat iscertaiu. Orators will be present, and at night the fireworks will make a scene of dazzling brilliancy. It will be the grandest Fourth of July celebration ever held in Petersburg. Full announcement of program will be found in our advertising columns. Our town sotons have a peculiar way of doing business, sometimes. At their first meeting after their election they appointed a committee to cal! npon the attorneys of Petersburg and ascertain the lowest amount at which they could have the legal business ot the town attended to for the ensuing year. The committee interviewed the legal fraternity ; and we are informed by one of the attorneys seen by the committee that his firm offered to attend to the business for 440 per annum, or would furnish a room for the Board to meet in. lights, fuel, etc., and attend to the business for $155. The committee reported two bids to the Board, but regardless of this the incumbent of the office was re-elected towu attorney and his salary fixed at $1(|0 per annum. lt would appear “to a man up a tree” thtg the town attorney matter was “rat and dried,” and that the appointment of the committee to receive bids was mere “buncombe.” The government has cireuiated.fy,000 extra—new pensions, back pay, etc.—to pensioners in Pleasantvifle and vicinity within the past three mouths, since the beginning of a Democratic era. We have learned of the following: A hex Parks (Republican) pension increased from 41 to $4 per month; 11. It, Fleener (Democrat), from 48 to 41t> per month-; John Nixon (Republican), front $2 to. $6 per month ; W. W. Richapdson, (Republican), received $1,500 back pay and pension of-$12 per month. Republics are not ungrateful. A Democratic administration is liberal. Republican kickers will please paste this in their: hats. Violators of the fish law should keep a sharp look out forthe eagle eye of the Fish Commissioner. The lawreads: “Whoever shall take any fish with a gigor spear, during the months of March, April, May, November, or December of any year; or shall take any fish with a net, seine!; gun, or trap of any kind, or set-net, or pot, iu any of the lakes,-ponds, or small streams of this State—shall be fined not more than 425 and not less than 45 for each jish so taken,” etc.

1 low ■ does (he pay given to our Town Hoard by their own votes compare with that of the eouneitme.n of the city of BoonvUle, where they receive 25 cents each per meeting ? Our town solons receive $1.50 each per meeting. In Hoonviile the Treasurer receives $5)0 per annum and the Marshal $40 per month, while here the Marshal gets $25 per month, and the Treasurer $75 per annum. It would seem that the city fathers '‘look out ’ Marion Carter, sou of James Carter, who was killed by a stroke of lightning on the afternoon of May 20th. near Arthur, nobly sacrificed himself for Isis wife and three children. An exchange says-he was in his barn when the storm came up,! and knowing his wife and children were timid about storins. started to go to the house a short distance off, and while in an open space was struck , and kilted. * ^ 1 V? **■ 1'Iic quarterly meeting services at the M. K. Church were well attended, ' aud the sermons delivered by Key. J. II. Talbot, presiding elder, were deeply interesting. The basket meet-j tug at Afford, on Sunday called together a large congregation. Mr. I Talbot was assisted in tliese meetings by Rev. 1). T. Davis. Sacramental services were held at theehUrch in this place Sunday night. Special Notice. Quite a number have already responded to my request to cal! and settie, but a great many have failed, to respond. To all such 1 wish to say, white I do not want to put any one to trouble I will bo compelled to do so unless they come forward soon and settle their account. 1 trust this notice will be sufficient. J. 15. Younu. In thd*ease of Brazil,vs. McBride, 09th Ind., page 244, the supreme court's decision was: That the city council has full power over the salary of all city officers, either to increase or lessen them. We say the salaries should be equalized. Is it' fair or equal for city dads to. fix their own salaries at $2.00 for each meeting and the Marshal's at only $25 per month ? Tlie “defective Hue” gets the blame for almost all the fires, the origin of which are not positively known, and the “defective flue” is almost always guilty, which brings to mil d the question, “Why are so many defective flues constructed ? And who are responsible for them ?” . Notice of Election. Notice is hereby given that at a regular meeting of l'acitie Lodge, No. 175, l.O.O. to be held in their lodge room on Monday night.

Mackey's new line between Washington and Worthington, says the ludianapolis Sentinel, runs through very heavy timbered land, and ties are being procured at a very smalt cost. Labor is also v<^v cheap, and there will be no better mue than now to purchase rails. The extension will be completed early in the winter. Air. Mackey says that the line will undoubtedly begin paying on the first day that it is operated. It passes through a very rich country, and there is reason to believe that it will secure traffic of all classes.
