WARREN DAVIS, D. Q. M. —Fruit ieabundantiu Jasper county this year. The crop of peaches is the largest that bus been known iu many years. Apples and grapes are very tine.

G. Sears, Misses Rosa Aker, ArillaCotton, and Dora and Lizzie Purcupile. Wm. E. Muss, “Joey” Hardman, Dr. J. 8. Oweus aud Noble J. York. A very pleasant time is reported. —Some of our citizens who attended the Morocco Fair last week report eleven huckster stands and twentythreegumes of chance on the ground, and, of live stock, only one Durham bull, one small heifer, onesow and five pigs, three horses and one colt, aud a small collection of poultry. The racing was said to be good, thievviug at a premium. If these are the facta, it is certainly presuming very much on tbe regard honest people have for decency to ask them to attend places conducted thus. Our fairs should be mode attractive by the inducement they hold out to elevate the mind and to give impet. us and an upward tendency to tbe industries represented. —The speeches of Messrs Overmeyer and Atkins at the court bouse last week were full of thought and good argument. Tbe testimony of Mr. At. kins, a native of Georgia, confinns the reports of violence in the Bouth aud the determination of confederates to rule or ruin the government. Not. withstanding the speakers revealed tbe true inwardness of Democracy in its vasci tali ng course and gave a fair ex|xsith>n of Republican doetrine, they avoided all abuse of political op poiiems. This is commendable and as it should be. Democratic orat«»r H have yrl a lesson in decency to leant in tiiis particular, al least any who have expounded Democratic doctrine and dogmas at this place could welj profit by such a hint.

Tbe district is Democratic ordinarily 500 or 6UO majority, but Mr. Keiser is making a vigorous personal canvass and his competitor will filnd it uecea. sary to exercise tbe utmost vigilance to maintain hiaadvautage*
