The Country Editor.

Did you ever think what a hard
time the country editor has? He
is called upon to puff without pay,
to curse one man for another and
then do the fighting; to give the
news from Maine to Mexico and
send the paper containing it on a
credit: to give every local event
from q dog-tinning to a murder; to
rectify this, call attention to that,
condemn such a thing, advocate
certain measures, etc, without a
cent of pay, and always be every
where ana see, know, hear and tell
of all and everything. Now, this is
what he is called upon to do, and
we digested these ideas from the
opinions Of some thirty thousand
writer's upon the subject; but the
real question is, does he do them
after being called upon. AS to puff,
ing without pay here's an example:
Mr.. Snob, the merchant, will hail
the editor as he passes his store
and tell him that his fine stock is
coming in, and he winks, you know,
and the editor goes Off home and
makes his wife split the wood to get
breakfast while he writes a puff.
The next issue there it is, written
elegantly and piled on thick, and
people flock to see the new goods
spoken of. The editor steps around
to Mr. Snob's in day or two to ask
him what he was winking about,
and that open-hearted, big-souled
man, unmindful of expenses, re-
Numbering the good the puff did
him, looks henignly upon the
threadbare coat and greasy hat of
the expectant editor, carries him
back in the store, and decks him
out in a bran spanking new chew of
tobacco and smiles him out of the
store as efFectually as if he had
kicked him out. Who will say that
is not pay enough? Why, it learns
him what an unmitigated fool he
was, and this is pay sufficient. AS
to fighting, every editor fights, you
know. Mr.. Jones viii come in and
tell him how Smiths yaller dog
tanned his spotted pinter, and tell
him to go for Smith, dog and all,
and he'll stand to him. The next
issue has column on Smith, TAX.
ing him up when a boy robbing APP
pie orchards, telling the eircum.
stances of his stealing neighbol
Bigbug's hogs, how he perjured
himself in the trial of Spooney vs.
Simpleton, involving the right Of
Spooney coons TO range in Sim
pleton's persimmon trees, etc. IN
the meantime Jones and Smith take
a drink and make friends, and when
the article comes ont Smith comes
in with a gate post in one hand anC
a gin-screw in the other, a shotgun
under each arm and a pistol in eacl
/ boot, and Jones following along be
hind him, pale and whistling. Til,

The Nashville Banner.

We have received the initial num-
Der of this new evening daily. 1t
presents a very neat appearance ty-
geographically, lille it is fully up to
the average and a little beyond in
other respects. Its salutatory arti
Gle has exactly the true ring upon
the questions of the day-both state
and national. Its views upon the
State debt question are precisely
those heretofore advocated by the
CITIZEN, and we joyfully welcome
this new and able ally to the ranks
of eternal enmity to all forms of re
pudiation. The Banner is frank,
outspoken, bold, honest, neWsy, or
thodox and cheap-only So per an
mum, 81 for 6, or 81 tor months.

Bethany High school numbers
ffty-one pupils, and the list is on
the Increase. By the return of the
accomplished Miss Ella Nelson TO
her former position as music teach
.er, We are led to expect rapid rise
of Bethany's fame.
The fatal accident resulting in
the death of ". H. Mcclure cast a
gloom over the community. He
was a man of many noble qualities.
Rev. R. NJ. DuBose has become
the pastor of Bethany Presbyterian
Church. The North Alabama Pres
bytery has been invited to hold its
next session here.
A young man named Merrill went
over the dam above Morelrs mill a
few days ago, and was barely res
cued from death.
The United States having refused
us a post-office we are supporting a
mail route of our own from Elkton
by subscription. There is nothing
ike pluck, and Bethany people claim
to be sharp hair-pins of that mate
rial.
There was some talk recently of
a drinking saloon at this place, but
thanks to the moral portion of our
community, Bethany has been
spared the disgrace.
All fools day was celebrated here
in the usual manner. Feminine
young America have appeared in a
new fashioned apron, much resem-
bling buggy harness. An acrostic
writer has been among us and run
our young people wild on that spe-
cies of poetic art.
One of them was a merchant and
the other a candidate for magis-
trate; they went squirrel hunting;
they freed one, and fired ten times
at it; at the tenth shot the poor
creature was frightened so badly
that it fell from the tree and broke
its neck. They carried it home in
Q. AKER.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is pleasant to
know that I have not been entirely
forgotten in the many years that
have passed since we met. Many
changes have taken place in that
time, and 1 suppose we, too, like
everybody else, have changed in
some respects. If felt that I could
write anything that would interest
anybody I would be happy TO write
you a letter occasionally, as l have
found few sheets of paper, a bot
tie of pale ink and an old broken
pen. But / am afraid I should
prove a very dull correspondent.
We are having the most delightful
spring weather. The ladies have
commenced gardening in earnest,
and the farmers are as busy as bees
blowing and planting corn. Bust
ness seems to be a little more brisk
than when 1 wrote to you before.
Some of our merchants have re
ceived new goods which they viii
sell cheap for cash. But, where is
the cash? We haye two or three
dry goods stores, two groceries, two
blacksmith and wood shops, pref
ty good school and three doctors.
Now we want bridge. Our whole
cry is, "a bridget a bridge! Our
kingdom for bridger' 1 am glad
to know that nearly everybody is in
favor of having a bridge here. 1t
certainly would be a great benefit
to this part of the county, and I
can't see that it would be a disad
vantage to any part of it. 1t is
true we have a good ferry here, and
the 'sAIessrs. b. can carry US across
the river as easy rs anybody; but
then it gets so awful muddy some
times that it is almost impossible
to get to the boat. Then let US
have a bridge by all means. As for
amusements 1 am afraid Bethany is
getting ahead Of us. They don't
stand back for snow or rain. Take
us altogether we have been rather q
dull set this winter. McCawber-
like, we have been sitting here
waiting for something to turn up,
and wishing all the time for some
thing to enliyen rs if it was moth
ing but an "organ grinder" and the
organ grinder did come to the great
delight of the children about town
Of course you have heard of the
sad accident that happened near
here last week. Mr.. Harvey Nc
CURE was thrown from a wagon
and killed instantly. Poor man.
/ 1 expect death came to him at a
very unexpected time. We never
know the day nor the hour. 1 be-
lieve it was Mrs. Hemans who
wrote, "AIl, seasons hast thou for
thine own, oh death" If l wished
to be personal in my remarks l
should say that Miss S. B. had re-
turned from the city of Nashville,
and that Miss p. G. had been visit
ing our town for two or three days,
and that our neighbor Mr. G. b.
Reasons has been quite i'll for sew
eral days; but it won't do to deal
In personals. Respectfully,
