If board was as cheap as advice in Monticello, I can truthfully state that I would camp here for life. If we have any fruit the coming season it can be truthfully charged that " Mr. Cat" is not the only pebble that can boast of nine lives. We suppose the reason our city fathers will not light the city is through fear that some stranger might observe the condition of our streets on some dark and stormy night.

We would suggest that the city council sell the well in the center of Public Square----hole and all--to Russia. It would afford an ideal hiding place for some of their generals.

Carpenters and house builders in Monticello are kept busy from morning to night and it is impossible to supply the demand for residences. there is not a vacant house in town, and all those under course of construction are rented.

SIMPSON Aneffort is being made to hold a county fair in Wayne the coming season, and we learn that the promoters of the enterprise are meeting with every encouragement .

Stock is being leberally subcribed for and every indication points to the success of the movement. The dance at the hotel RAMSEY on the night of the 13th inst. given in honor of Mrs. H.C. GILLISPIE, of Nashville Tenn and Mrs. BEN D. SPENCER, of Denver Col. was decidely the most brilliant event in social circles of the season. The costumes of the participants were elaborate and such an array of feminine beauty was never befroe witnessed in the good old capitol of Wayne. The music for the occasion was furnished by Mrs. WM PHILLIPS and Mr. B.P. YOUNG, and was excellant. If we were familiar with the appellationof all the latest fabrics we would attempt to give a description of the many lovely costumes that graced the occasion, but our ignorance on this point renders that impossible, suffice to say they were all faultlessly beautiful and individually becomming to each of their fair donors. SEEN IN JAIL AT LOUISVILLE News came by stage last night that Mr. OSCAR BROWN and Mr. B.O.

The meeting being sudden and so unlooked for , it came with such surprise that no details were obtained. We sincerally hope they will be able to make a satisfactory explanation. Inquiries at the home of these gentlemen were made but no further information could be obtained.
