Last year whole ciops were destroyed
hy squirrels, which will not bo the
case this season. Notwithstanding the
county 1ms paid out quite an amount
for squirrel tail.i, the revenue will, by
far exceed the amount paid out.
Mr. James Day was seriously hurl a
few days since, whilu engaged in bind
ing a load of rails, lie was brought
home in an unconscious state, and
friends and relatives were sent for to
witnrss his death. Dr. A, ii. Cobb
was summoned, and he as usual stuck
to his patient, who is said lo ho recov
ering. A bad slate of feeling prevails
among the poor people of our valley,
who are, of necessity, delinquent with
their taxes. For instance, men who
owe one dollar poll tax, and delinquent
only 2fi dayf. have been i oinpolled to
pay the sheriff deputy three dollars.
