JOHN STEPHENS, of the Pottery, and EUGENE LEE, of your city, have recently been on a visit here. ~Col. DICKERSON is kept busy at this season of the year renting out land for next year and collecting rent for this. ~Our store house continues to present a lonely appearance, and it will be a happy day when we can have another live merchant in our community. ~H. C. PERRY has a fine lot of hogs to kill. Henry is a thorough going, wide awake young man, and generally lives at home. He has discontinued to order his corn and bacon from the west. ~The probability is that Island Shoals will be left without a preacher next year. JAMES WRIGHT and RUFUS FINCHER have been studying for the ministry, but it is hardly probable that they will be called to preach for some time to come. ~We learn that the Snapping Shoals correspondent of the Henry Co. Weekly, say SANDERS and FINCHER have organized a show. So they have, and are ready to negotiate for a monkey and a hand organ and will endeavor to secure the services of said correspondent to do the clog-dancing when the band begins to play.
