the discharge of his duty is still very
low.
BY our old bachelor-There's no
special style of engraving engagement
rings. A spiders web with fly in it
is very pretty device.
Poor man-He was bound to be
accurate, and he described the woman's
costume thus "She wore an elegant
suit Of something or other, cut bias, and
trimmed endwise."
Tax collecting was, as we pre-
dicted some time ago, brisk during the
last days. The time for payment ex-
pired on the 10th, from which time
the penalty and cost attach.
The Bible revision committee
have discovered that all of Jobs boils
were on his neck and around his shoul-
ders. Very evidently Job is not enti-
lied to all the credit and admiration
which he has received Link Rofk
Herald.
And Just here we would come in for
our share Of credit, having been an

Mrs. Dorff, through mistake, ad-
ministered three doses of morphine
(mistaking it for quinine) to one Of
her children last Tuesday. The timely
discovery, and the attendance of DR..
II. G. Dunavant, with proper reno

of the powerful narcotic, and
the child is again right side up with
care.
The first of May will soon be
here, and nothing yet said about May
day celebration. Nothing like a stroll
through the woods, away from the
busy cares of life, with a neat calico

dozen sermons.

Our school trustee, DR.. j. E.
Felts, is busily engaged in taking the
census, preparatory to making an emu
meration report Of the number of chill

rest of the trustees throughout the
county will do likewise, and make
their reports at as early day as posi-
