Dyer STATION, July 81, 1875.
Editor Exchange:
| have been convinced that great
deal of patience and fortitude Is re-
quired of an editor during these hot
dog days in order to strict attention 70
his onerous duties. | was in your
sanctum a few days ago; you are right
in calling for cooling melons; hope
you may get many a one; you deserve
them; and then the EXCHANGE in pay
for the largest one, will, you know,
amply repay for all.
The photographed tidal-wave still
sweeps with unprecedented force over
our Villages all are interested more or
or less. To excel Mr. Webster IN
"spellin" is the "sine qua ,aOn'' Of all
parties. The en- (end) will come after
awhile.
What great changes God hath
wrought! Untila few weeks past gloom
and anxiety was manifested in every
face. Grim-visaged want was the
ruling tyrant and swayed hisiro scep-
ter over all classes. Now everybody
smiles IN health and the goddess of
plenty seems to have recapturea the
world. The wheat crop was never
better, corn fields groan beneath their
prospective burthens, and cotton and
tobacco looks exceedingly well. "The
Lord hath done great things for us,
whereof We are glad" While we APP
preciate these blessings given by our
kind Fath"r. surely the goodness Of
God ought to lead men to repentance,
to Christ and to heaTen. Repent;
lest worse thing come upon thee" are
words of advice that all should heed.
The financial outlook of our village
and community is more encouraging
now that the wheat crop is placed
upon the market. Thousands Of bu-
shells arc being shipped from this point
to St. Louis. One of our enterprising
Mr. Jno. ". Wyatt,
bought and sent north 100 bushels
in two days, Of this week; he pays 81
per bushel for good wheat.
The fall term of school will open
Cd. The school will be under
the joint management Of two of Ten
nessee's noblest sons-Professors M.
+. Smith and 7. F. Croford. The
healthfulness of our community, the
low rates of tuition and board, and
the efficiency of our faculty all be-
speak, for the school, liberal share
of public patronage.
Our neighbor village, Rutherford
Station; is having gala time. About
ten days ago, her citizens of "Hamitic
descent" had a picnic, bran-dance and
a at,tskous melee; one negro received
several gulf-shot wounds, if dangerous
ly, but little regrets. On the 29th
inst, her citizens Of the "Japhetic
line" passed through the same channel
minus thefght. go Temporal, o mores"
1t is said that all men, parties and as
sociations have an influence. Well, |
would rather,.be followed by some than
to be led by others; but you know, sar,
dat de top rail Of de tense ar under de
bottom now. More anon.
