On account of her extreme age, the had been qnite feeble for several years, and for the past year had been confined to her room, patiently awaiting for the end, which she knew would soon come.

Rastus. Squire Fewell Talks About the Weather This weather puts me in miod of the weather away back in the fifties when we bad feo much snow. I think it was in 1854 that we had a big snow; it was 12 or 15 inches deop. Again in 1856 we had snow on the ground from Christmas until in February. It was about eight Inches deep, and come a rain on top of it, and then froze over.

It would bear up tbe weight of a horse in places. It is a great saying with the people every very cold jpell that comes to say it is the worst tbey have ever seen, but tbey have seen it as cold if they will only think back a little. I have seen it colder than it has been any time this winter. My thermometer, hanging in tbe piazza facing the northwest, registered on the 8tb inst. at 6 a.

above zero, and on tbe 13th it again went down to tbesame degree, and two years ago it went that much below zero on one don't remember the day. In January, 1881, Mr. Thackston's thermometer was 17? below zero iu Piedmont, and Kerosene oil froze in the dwellings. That was a good deal colder than this has been, but I don't want to tee it any colder any more this winter. If having bard freezes and plenty of snow is any indication of a good fruit and crop year, I think we will be bleet with both this year.

I had peach trees in bloom this time last year, but I don't see any pros? pect for peach blooms soon now. With another as-good crop as wo nude last year throughout the South we would be very near independence. We could make all our meat and bread here if we would try. We did do it for four years and kept up a half million their work at the same time, and we can do it again. The New York World ad? mits now that the South is in the moat prosperous condition now of any part of the Union.

Notwithstanding we fifty or sixty million every year to tbe Union soldiers in pension-, and considering the devastation of tbo war, our cities all, or nearly all, laid in ashes, with nothing to start from after the war ended. I think it quite a compliment for a yankee news? paper to say that we are in tbe most pros? perous oondition of any part of tbe Union, and, too, when we pay to the Northern soldier fifty or sixty million in panaionj without getting but a very small part of it back. Tnat shows that we have the best, the most favored part of tbe continent, and, I might Bay, with a good deal of truth, the best placo on earth Our na? tural resources are so varied, numerous and valuable that anyone with ordinary intelligence can see at once we have the garden spot of the world as a natural in? heritance. So now let us be content with it If those starving, freezing people in Nebraska hid come down South ins-lead of going West they would now be warm, contented and prosperous. We never make an entire failure in crops here.

We can live on what we can make here any year, for all of our orops never fail in any one year. If wheat is not good, we gen erally have a good corn crop to mako up for it So that we can make out on what we make, nor do we have 30? or 40? below zero here. Talking cold weather and snow, I recollect there came a snow on the 15th of April, 1849. I can jnst remember it, for I was a very small boy then. I remember bow beautiful tbe fleecy white snow look? ed on the green leaves after tbe sun rose next morning.

Tue trees bad pat their green foliage in tbe woods, and wheat bad headed out, but the snow ruin ed it like tbe freeze did last spring. I have heard old folks talk, about a very cold day (on a Saturday). That happened I believe in 18C3 or forget which year tbey said it was. Any bow, it was called tbe cold Saturday, and the "mail boys'' and drivers (some of them) froze to death The coldest day that I renumber to have seen was the first day of January, 1861. I don't know what degree tbe thermometer registered, but I know it was the coldest day I ever experienced.

if you will turn to your Intelligencer of September 19th last you will see that I predicted four big snows to come, so I think we have had our number now, and may be will have some fine spring weather when this snow gets off. All who have not-registered before had better look after their registration certifi cat es when the office opens. I hope we will have one old fashion free-for all elec? tion without any slating or bossing by any? body. Let the candidates run on their own merits if they have any; if not let them stay at home. I may want to run myself.

If I do I shall want everybody to vote for me that wants a good Constitu? tion without any of Tillmau or Irbv boss? ing about it. If you don't want the two mill school tax abolished and a three or four dollar poll tax bad better not vote for a full Tillmanite delegation to the Convention, for Tillman and Irby have already got that Constitution wrote out ready for the Convention to ratifiy, so to speak. And all tbe negroes and poor white folks who want to vote again had better know pretty well who they are voting for before they vote, for that is another one of tbe dominant leaders ideas, that is to dis? franchise all of tbe poor white folks and negroes. So, if you allow it, you can't say that you didn't have fair warning. My thermometer registers 30? above zero this morning.

It may be that the reason my thermometer has been higher than some others this cold spell is that it is caused by being on better land. Rich land is, I reckon, warmer than poor land, and tben, too, it is not hemmed in on one side by a river and a railroad and on tbe other by a public road. So you see, Mr Editor, I am out where tbe wind and warmth can get a fair shake at me, and makes my land more valuable for taxing purposes. Tbe battle of Sbarpsburg should have been printed in my last letter as occuring in 1602 Instead of 1803. Squire Fewell.

Serious damage has in some instances been caused to adjacent bottom lands by such failure, and we sug? gest that tbe proper officers sees to tbe proper enforcement of the law in this re? gard. Wo recommend that the County Super? visor call in all the scrapes, picks, shovels and other implements fjr working the public roads belonging to the County and now in the hands of tbe overseerp, and that the same be disposed of in such manner as the County Board of Road Commission? ers may think best. We further recom? mend that said Bo ird of Commissioners see that pointers are placed at the forks of public roads as directed by Section 1161 of the General Statutes, and also that gates across public highways be kept in proper condition. We have visited the Jail and find that tho Sheriff is keeping everything in tbe best oondltion possible under the circuin? stances, but there is no means of properly beatiog the building, in oonsequence of which considerable suffering is entailed upon the prisoners during the severe weather, and tbe Jail is a disgrace to the County. We have sppointed a committee consist? ing of J.

C. Hamlin, S. Eskew, J. G. Riley and M.

I. Brock, with authority to appoint an expert, to examine the books, offices and bonds of tbe County officers and report at the next sitting of the Court. We have also sppointed a committee to visit tbe poor house. We notify all Trial Justices to present their books to us for inspection at the next term of Court. We recommend that the County Supervisor furnish each Trial Justice with a criminal and civil docket.

The Grand Jury fully realize the need of a new Court House for the comfort and convenience of persons attending tbe ses? sions of Court and for the better protection of tbe records of the County, and while tbe present financial condition of tbe County will not warrant the outlay of money for a new building at this time we think tbe object can be attained by the issue of bonds. We therefore recommend that the County Supervisor be authorized to Issue bonds to the amount of $50,000, if bo much be necessary, the proceeds of wbioh shall be used in purchasing a site and erecting thereon a new Court House and Jail, said bonds to run 50 years, re? deemable at the rate of $2 000 per year after 25 years from the date of issue. We be? lieve said bonds can ba placed at five per C9nt. interest per annum, which would re? quire a levy of less than one-fourth of one mill tax to pay the Interest. Thus a tax paver returning property to tbe amount of $1.000 would only be required to pay 25 cents a year for interest on the bonds.

With a new Court House affording accom mocV.ions for tbe several County officers, the County would be saved an annual out? lay of several hundred dollars now expend? ed for rent of tbe offices which are scatter? ed over tbe city The material In the present Court House, and tbe site and building of tbe present Jail should be sold and the proceeds used in constructing new buildings. Oar reason for recommending long term bonds is that they can be floated at a lower rate of interest than short term bonds and will also command a better premium. We recommend that immedi? ate action be taken in this matter. The thanks of tbe Grand Jury are by tendered to His Honor the presiding Judge, to tbe Solicitor, and to tbe other officers of the Court for the courtesies shown ns and tbe aid rendered us in the discharge of our duties Respectfully submitted, M.
