HNHHING NEWN

1 SUNDAY SCHOOL ROW.-Thore has
been some extensive quarreling in the
/ M. E. Sunday School, in which the
''house is divided against ITSELF" 1t
has resulted in the expulsion of the Su-
perintendent, and in our opinion, is
about correct" The Superintendent,
having some authority, become quite
tyranical in the use of it, and assumed
too much altogether, showing that the
trite saying of, 4dive person an inch
and he will take an. ell ;" is fully verified
in this instance. Another Superintend-
ent has been installed; and everything is
moving along surmisingly. ~
PIC NIC.-The Sunday Sheel in cen
nection with the Crab Apple (Presby-
terian) churches, situated some four
miles east of this village, had a very
pleasant pic mic on Wednesday lasl.
There was a large crowd in attendance,
good speaking, plenty to eat, ''slathers"
of "bueautiful women and brave men,"
and everything combined to make it as
most pleasant occasion, long to be re-
membered ,by all who participated
therein. We give the following advice
to all young men from this city who are
des;rous of attending Grab Apple, and
if not followed, are sure to be snubbed,
especially If there is haze before ones
eyesI We speak from experience and
know where we stand: "Never address q
young lady without prefixing the neces-
sary word, Miss!"
SINGING SCHooL.-The Singing
School, under the charge of that accom-
plished and agreeable ger tleman, Mr..
Eli Davis, is in prosperous condition,
and is making good advancement. Ii
Il. -, y HI ,anadad f,ap N
another in.this section, it is the a COM
plishmant of music. We are glad to
saw. however, our people are awaken
ing to that fact, and many of our citi-
zens are purchasing musical instru-
ments.
STEADILY PROGRESSING.-WO on
the pike is still going on, and we believe
it has been graded to Rock Hill the ter
minus of the road.
GooD REroRT.-A few days since we
were much amused at the witty
retort of an Irishman in reply to surly
blacksmith. The Irishman meeting the
blacksmith on the street, in passing the
civilities of the day, says, Well, how
are you to day"
"None of your id business. WHAT'S
that to you," replied the man of iron.
oh said che man of '.Erin-go-braugh,
"I'm dog doctor, and always inquire
after my patients! Good day!"
LEFT.-On Thursday last Mr.. Jesse
Hollingsworth started for Mt. Union
College, at which institution he will
graduate next July.
Need Some.-Among the many i'm
provemepts needed in this ancient burg,
none is more SO than that of good side
walks. There is nothing adds more to
the appearance of q town, aud speaks
well for the energy of its citizens than
that of respectable side walks. We ale
sorry to say, however, such Is not the
state of affairs here, there being no very
few good walks in the TOW Ii, and the
principal thoroughfares in sadly dilap-
idated condition, putting one in mind OF
an old rundown boot. Our city is IN
corporated, and, why not "City Dads"
have better walks?
CoNCERr.-Next Saturday there will
be given q concert at Rankin's Church,
some eight miles north of this village,
under the leadership of Mr.. Eli Davis,
of this city. A big time is anticipated,
and, of course good singing and plenty
of it will be on the programme. song
sters from four different schools will be
present, to represent their respective
schools, and undoubtedly those who att
tend will be amply repaid for the time
spent and their presence. A cordial
welcome is extended to all to be present.
ssBET OUR BOTTOM DOLLAR" ON 'EM.
We have noticed several of our State
papers Dragging on the beauty OF the
young ladies of their respective towns
and counties, but we'll bet our old hat
and a nickel that Belmont County and
Flushing township in particular can
turn out more pretty girls than any 9TH
-er county of its size and reputation in the
State. Where is the county that viii
take the bet, for we>shouid like to "trot
out" our pretty girls, and "scoup" any
county that had the impudence to think
that they could shine along side of the
young ladies of our good and beautiful
Belmont.
KIND OF MIXED.-NOtl long since we
heard gentleman sympathizing with
another who had recently lost his better
half, by saying: my dear friend, you
have my most sincere congratulations
on this, your first bereavement" AT
last accounts the "synpathizing" gen
tleman was applying raw beef to his
eyes, and calling on ''some kind friend
to bsndage his head, }" in consequence of
the mauling he received from the man
"left alone in this wide world TO
mourn. ONE OF THE BOYS.
A Long Tick.
