good sermon in this place on Tuesday

send up better report.

All the above are returned soldiers.
DIR. j. 5. Monteith, who has also
returned from the army, has bought

pared to resume his former practice
We have of late noticed some
splendid fields of corn. The ears in
few fields, on an average, are as
high as mans head, and we noticed
some ears as high as man could
reach.
Wheat threshing is progressing as
fast rs the wet weather will admit,
but as a general thing the yield is
light and of an inferior quality. One
field we have heard, yielded over
seventeen bushels per acre.

am glad TO see that the columns
of the Journal are open to articles on
the above named subject; and that
correspondents in different parts of
the county are writing on the subject.
1t shows that editors are ready and
willing to lend their influence TO pro-
mote this as well as other good
causes. and that the people are wax
ing up to a subject of vital impor-
lance to tho young and rising gener-
atlons.
was pleased to see the suggestion
Of Mr.. Bond-afterward seconded
by Mr.. ID. w. CONSERVATIVE to
holding annual SUNDAYS Con-
ventions. l would suggest that
there has been talk enough; the
friends of Sunday Schools are ready
to act in the matter. Will not some
one, who has been longer in tue
county than myself, suggest the
time and place TO meet, and set the
project in motion. What binders;

soldier boys have returned home,
and, to their praise be it said, are
ready and lriliin9, if not anxious, to
engage in the good work Since
their return the schools in this part
Of the county have greatly increased
in interest and numbers. We only
lack now the hearty CO. cooperation of
the parents. When we have that,
and some of their pecuniary aid,
then the good work will 90 on and
much more good will be speedily &C
complished, and l can think Of no
move that would be more effectual in
elIlisting the parents than annual
Sunday School Conventions.
i have been visiting some of the
neighboring schools, of late. They
all seem TO be alive, and at work in
good earnest. In one school ! found
a 0ery interesting sight-an "infant
class as it was called. The teach
er, and all the pupils, save one, were
looking through spectacles, their
heads silvered with gray hairs, and
ali of them mothers. Another re-
markable feature-perlaps two
thirds of the teachers were aged men
and women, and very large portion
of the scholars then present were
young ladies and gentlemen. Sever
al of the latter, | noticed, as soon as
they were done with their regular
exercises. drew forth from their
pockets a copy Of the Randolph Jour
nal, and quietly perused its contents.
How much better this, l thought,
than spend the time in whispering,
laughing, DC, which is too often the
case in some Of the schools.

BLAcKGUARDs AND BULLIEs-It is
a dlillcnlt matter for a gentleman or
lady to travel upon the cars, or in
any public conveyance, without
being insulted or having their sensi-
bility shocked by obscene language,
profanity or drunkenness. The time
was when these classes of men were
put off the trains or public convey
ances, but through desire to make
money, or humidity. or some other
insufficient reason, these classes OF
individuals are permitted to bawl,
yelp, flourish their whisky bottles,
sad use the most profsne language,
