THE YEAR 1871 BIDS FAIR 70 BE
Il one of the most important and fruit
full in our political history. In it Will be
shaped the great issues on which the
Presidential election of 1872 must turn.
1t will be an era of new political energy
in the South, which, for the first time III
twelve years, comes unfettercd INTO ma,
tional canvass; and an. era of confident
hone to the Democratic party everywhere.
The superannuated issues ON which the

untiinchins boldness, vigor, fidelity, and
zeal. 1t will be in constant counsel and

The share allotted to The World in this
combined and disciplined movement OF
the Democracy, in their onward march to
victory. is the dissemination Of political
truth; a work which can be fruitful only
in proportion to the extent of it's circula-
ton. We ask Democrats everywhere to
aid us in scattering the good seed broad
cast over the whole land. during the period
which is so important in reference to the
coming harvest.

THE POST MASTER,

| believe it is not generally understood
that the Post Master has any feelings that
we are bound to respect Of all the poor
wretches the world has in it, he is most to
be pitied, and perhaps receives the least
sympathy. i'll were asked to name the
most disagreeable place | ever was in, |
should name the Post Office. Yet the
Post Master no matter how vexed or tired,
how weary or worn, is expected to wear
an aftable smile and answer pleasantly
even the most unnecessary and often in
solent question.
:. Ii the merchant or salesman is less po-
lite, attentive and accommodating at the
close of the day, than when refreshed and
invigorated by a nights repose, or the
bracing air of morning, no one grumbles
about it or wonders at it; but the Post
Masters, WEAKNESS and exhaustion, is ia
ken as public insult, and an excuse for the
injurious and slanderous remarks of the
people whom they serve.
The man who can bow politely, smile
sweetly and respond pleasantly to the rap
or call of each individual demanding at.
tention, while engaged in the various du.
ties of the situation, is the man tor the
place Let US have him by all means
Call for volunteers of that type, and there
will be about as many conscientious men
respond as there was left in the Temple
when Christ said, "let him that is without
sin, cast the first stone" Yet we seldom
call at the Post Office, without hearing
complaints of incompetency, impoliteness,
negligence, dishonesty, carelessness, inso-
lence. Oh We Post Masters verify, verify,
! language fails when we would enumerate
! your sins of omission and commission.
new edition of Webster's dictionary is re.
quired to express your outrageous doings
and undoings OF course there is no sus.
picious, captious, i'll natured grumbIers
among those who call for mail matter
They are all pleasant, agreeable people
No lady ever had to wait half an hour
while some long nosed grumbler, spit his
venom at the Post Master, while another
low bred pup spit tobacco juice over
her dress, or stepped on her toes, till dis
gusted beyond endurance she left without
getting near enough to her box to see its
contents, or to procure stamps for the dc
layed letters in her hand. We know you

your complaints great force and influence

from all parts of our county, and not see
ing any word from here, thought would
scratch few lines to you.
Everything looks well here wheat is
being harvested and corn locks we'll Or
chards are well filed, Notwithstanding the
wind did great deal of damage. Black
berries are in great abundance and ripen-

tions of much better crops this year than

Our district school closed on Friday
with a picnic, which was excellent. A
great number assembled IN the school
room in the morning, which was very
tastefully decorated with festoons of oak
leaves, and showed to all that their much
respected teacher, Miss Lydia Byers desired
to please the eye as well as the ear. We
listened to excellent singing and literary
performances which did credit to both
teacher and pupils. These exercises lasted
until near noon when they adjourned to
the pleasant grove which surrounds the
school house, and in which were two very
good and large swings, and plenty of lads
and lasses to use them. The elder ones
prepared the dinner, which was grand
enough for king. There was a great
abundance of everything, and their kind
teacher had prepared as a surprise mag
nifcent cake, which looked like noun
tain of snow, and tasted-here | cannot
find words to express myself Everything
was good and we did it ample justice.
Dinner over we went and listened to an
able address from DR.. Lampier, of Eddy
vile. Miss Byers has labored faithfully
this summer, and she cannot help but be
crowned with the greatest success. Al
though rather young teacher, she knows
how to win the affection of both parents
and scholars, and also to have the scholars
learn rapidly. She has had an excellent
and orderly school, and may she continue
to teach here is the hearty wish of both
parents and scholars. May she always be
as successful as here and carry bright lau
rels with her wherever she may go. The
DAY passed of splendidly, and all enjoyed
themselves, for all went "merry as mar
rage bell" and the day will be green in
our memories as well as the well-wishes for
our dear and kind teacher.
