' W. A. Mcpherson, at one time a resident
of this city, has been apjiointed deputy col

through the Collector of that Territory.
T. L. Davidson, of Marion county, se
cured 800 pounds of wool from 100 head of
Merino st eep. Tlie wool brought Sc &
pound, or 2 for each hee, which demon
strates tlie fact that It pays to keep the finer
grades of sheep.
G H. Evans, formerly an attache f the
Democrat, came In from the OcIkkso country
tli flrst of the week, after an absence of
about one year. Evans lias been engaged
In sheep husbandry, and reports fair pros
pects aliead.
r Squire Vernon, reported very low a few
days since from an attack of palsey. under
the treatment ot Dr. Geo. W. Harper, has
so far recovered as to give hopes that he
may be entirely restored to his family and
friends.
Dr. Geo. W. Harper, who was called to
Brownsville recently to relieve Dr. Masters
of that place who was in poor health, we
learn is having splendid success. . Dr. II.
Is a good physician and a scholarly gentle
man, and we are pleased to hear ot bia
success. '
Tlie central school-house Is an unsightly
affair, inside and out. and Is really a dis
grace to the city. It should be replaced by
a warm, light, clieerful bmlding, where
onr children can receive an education with
comfort to thetiWlves and their teachers.
Let our people think over this matter: '
About ten o'elock last Sunday evening a
brilliant meteor flashed across the north
eastern portion of the heavens," lighting
them np until ft was as light ar 'noonday.
It was the most brilliant meteor we ever
witnessed, and as it flashed athwart tlie
heavens Tt left a pathway ot light in its
track that did not disappear until long after
its cause had been swallowed up la dark
ness. Owing to a combination of circumstance
we have notliuen able to give the usual
attention to tlia get up of the Registt
this week. Better luck next time.
