Take Your own County Papers.

This is what we have always contended for.
If you do moi encourage the enterprise Of pub
fishers who are endeavoring to disseminate IN
formation throughout the region in which you
reside, You win find that in those parts Of the
country where the inhabitants do encourage
the circulation of their papers, that the prosper
ity Of the people there, will be far ahead Of your
own. In many instances refusal to encour-
age the enterprise of the publisher, is due to the
fact that better paper is found elsewhere.--
And why9 Because your own paper has sunk
it's capital in endeavoring to get up paying
circulation, the proprietor cannot afford to
make his paper an, better. Godeys Lady

The strawberrv Festival.

The strawberry festival given by the ladies
of the Methodist Church last Friday evening
at Nichols Hail. for the benefit of the new
Church, was a most gratifying success. From
five o'clock that afternoon, the opening of the
festival until eleven o'clock that night, the
Hall was thronged with the young, the old,
the gay and the grave. There were some five
tables arranged, besides one lemonade stand,
we'll laden with the choicest delcaeies, contec-
tions, and handsomely decorated with flowers.
Strawberries, ice cream, cakes, kc were in
abundance, and was served by beautiful ladies'
who with their smiles and polite words eom
manded your patronage without hesitancy.-
To have pleasant face wreathed in smiles,
and flashing turned up to yours, and rosy
lips utter ''please buy" it was simply irresist-
able, and your hand would inyoluntarily go
dswn into your pocket in search of the last
niekle in response to her request.
The evening was spent very pleasantly indeed
by the large crowd in attendance. Many
were the evidenceslof enterprise, skill and ener-
gy displayed by the ladies who had the man
aetment of the affair. The postal system"
adopted by the young ladies, was very inter
esting feature, and equal to valentine day
The music discussed on the occasion by the
Marietta Silver Cornet Band was very good,
and the boys, although out Of practice, still
exhibit musical talent of no inferior order.
We understand that about $155.00 was re-
allied, which will be very considerable help
in completing the Church. Rev. Geo. Smith
has made and is making creditable efforts for
this Church and we trust soon to see religious
services conducted within its walls.

The New York Tribune publishes a full
report Of Governor Walkers address al

meDts:
THE address Of Governor Walker al
the commencement Of the Virginia As.
ricultural College, printed 10 the Tribune
to-day, presents many important ideas 10 a
striking manner or course, where there
is such diversity Of opinion as that upon
tho policy Of applying the proceeds ofSales
Of public lands to educational purpose, and
kindred topics tue subjects handled By
Governor Walker are opened TO debate.
But the substance oflhis address may lie
taken, doubtless, as rejecting the views Of
q large class Of the Southern people rela.
i've to education. Governor Walker sees,
as 40 liberal men do, that tho moral aud
mental necessities Of the negro just now
demand more attention than bis political
needs. The education Of the newly en-
franchised cOlored men is among the para.
mount requirements Of the times; aud the
utilitarian age, which Governor Walker
celebrates, believes 10 the widest system Of
popular enlightenment"
