~ An East Hill man went out to
catch a wild chicken that came home to
roost the other night. He climbed up
on top of the paling fence and started on
up in the cedar tree to get the chicken
which he saw above him, but in grab
bling limb something slick on it made
his hand slip and it flew around and
struck him in the face and eyes. He
made desperate reach for the chicken
and got it, but lost his balance on the
fence and fell over backwards into the
street. The chicken fell under the bot
tom. The man got up and after meas
uring with his eye his photograph in
the mud, and putting his ear to the
ground to see if the chicken was out of
hearing, he started in quest of a hoe to
dig for it. We left them.

az Two schools opened at Pisgah
Tuesday-one by Capt Holt and one by
Mr.. Kinney. We learn they had over
thirty scholars each. We would be
glad to hear that the good people of
that vicinity had reconciled their differ
ences and had united in sustaining one
good school. We know nothing of the
cause or origin of these differences, and
shall not discuss them or permit them to
be discussed through the CITIZEN; but
we win say that a compromise of some
sort should be effected. The good peo-
pie of that vicinity have enjoyed an en-
viable and widespread fame in the past
for their boundless hospitality and gem
uine christian fellowship, as displayed
annually for nearly half a century at
the iar-famed camping-ground of Mt.
Pisgah, from whose sacred summit many
a happy soul has caught first glimpse
of the promised land. All good men
will join us in saying there should be
no quarreling on this sacred mount, or
among these christian people.
