4Ot the Editors of the Herald and Mail:
Perhaps some of your readers may be
sufficiently interested to follow me in o
few thoughts upon the history and habits
of the honey bee. need not go back
in ancient mythology to show you that the
honey bee has been the friend and COM
panion of the white man ever since the
most remote ages in history nor need ]
trace the chronicles in order to show you
how she sought the hollow of trees the
clefts of rocks and the carcass of the
dead lion, wherein to store her loads of
sacred sweets in order that she might
have not only enough for herself and her
young but also an occasional treat for her
friends. Let us pass by the horrid scene
when, 10, we behold him at night with the
birthstone match in bis hand in cold
blood and unproyoked murder, robbing
the little innQeents, who fain would have
toiled her life away for his good, had
it not been for such brutality. The
thought is enough to chill the blood in
the veins of the phllanthropist. But let us
pass. In my early experience in api
culture, l learned that l could control

vinced that the vocation could be reuder.

THOMPSON STATIONTT ITEMS.

Our little town has groEn beyond the
dimensions of village and is now wearing
long dresses. We have several as good
merchants as can be found in the State,
one Of the best schools in the county,
two SPLENDID observation-disclosures Gore
and Ragsdale-one of the best Touring
mills on the Great Southern Railroad,

They have more hogs and fatter hogs Than

Last Saturday was lively day in our
town. 1t was pretty extensively advertised
that Mr.. I. was to make a Kansas negro
emigration speech, and by one o'clock
there was at least 5Ol negroes on hand
anxious to hear the great orator. From
some cause Mr. I. failed to put in his
appearance. From what could learn the
majority of the darkIes of this neighbor-
hood think they had better wait and get
more definite information from the
promise land before they emigrate. The
negroes to make amends for their sad
disappointment in failing to hear the
speech, got up one of the hughest dog
fights that was ever fought on the Ameri-
can continent. After terrible combat OF
ar hour they were separated. One
darkey as he bore his bleeding champion

spring without any visible impression be

seeing the tree was likely to burn up of
ter it had been burning some time, sent
negro to cut it down as it was valuabl,

ping live coal dropped on his coat anC
set it on fire. He used every means posi-
BILE to put it out without success, he even
buried it in the branch under the water
and mud but it continued to burn until
every vestige of the garment was con.
sumed. Since that time you can't get a ne
gro to go within hundred yards of that
tree. Some of our best citizens are not at
all superstitious. Mr.. NJ, for instance,
having been troubled greatly of late by his
fire going out every night, got shed of his
old fire and procured some of this. he
is now in greater trouble than ever for
fear his house may catch from this new
fire, in which case he could not hope OF
ever putting it out.
We had lively spelling match few
evenings since in which all of the young

miss, gave him a word with which he
knew he must be familiar with, so he ask
ed him tc spell "coat," he spelled it cote"
