The TxM'homs family last week were invited to the home of Rev. Wm. Farmer, west of town, to eat peaches. Mr. Farmer has over one hundred trees, most ef them being over loaded with the delicious

fruit. Before they left he loaded

the visitors down and sent them home rejoicing. Few farmers are fixed any better or deserve tobe than Uev. Farmer. A mule, the property of Thomas Eller, imbued with the spirit of the "wild west'', acted as tax advance guard and made au exhibition of itself Saturdav evening. It was hitched on the seuth side of the square, when the animal became frightened, made a bee line for the bank, but being a laborer it was evidently frightened at the sight of so many glittering dollar and started down the si dewalk towards the depot. At that time the streets were crowded, but the frightened animal plunged through the crowd without injuring anyone. 'Miss Josie Carter, of Smith'ville,was knocked down, but miraculously escaped even the slightest injury.

Yesterday about 3,000 was paid into the Clerk office io gu toward making up the shortage. This amount, with what had already been paid in, pays 70 per cent, of the entire amount, and in a short time this will be fully made up. As William F. Browning said at the time the office was turned over, every cent of the delinquency would be paid up, if the creditors would bo patient. As in all such cases, there were one or two exceptions who glory in the downfall of others and show their want of an inch of soul, but aside from this no trouble has been experienced and the matter will soon be settled, though it takes the last foot of property and leaves nothing. There will be a special examination at the Superintendent's ofiico on Friday, Sept. 0, 187, commencing at nine o'clock. v. J. W. Ckaykm, Co. Sup't.
