THE CROPS

THE CROPS
in this community were perhaps
never in a better condition at the
of the summer than they
are now. The dry weather has en-
abled the farmers to get their cotton
to a stand, and to pillow the corn.
The stand Of both corn and cotton
isvery good. Cloveris growing more
luxuriant, the farmers say, than
they ever saw it at this time.
Wheat almost universally through
this section has the rust on the
blade. If it does not reach the
stalk there viii be good crop har
vested.
SO that the smiles of Providence
are on us as a community. We
have health, present plenty and
good prospects. We can but hope
that the goodness manifested to us
will have its intended effect, of max
ing us do better. If there was a
little less profanity, and little less
drunkenness, and little less Sab
bath breaking, and if such a large
part Of the country did not live as
if they were in the middle of pagan
ism, things might do better.
READING ROOM.
The young gentlemen about town
are on the point of erecting a build
ing 18x2o behind the Presbyterian
Church, to be used as a reading
room and general lounging place
They expect to do the work them
selves, and are going at it as soon
as the crops are laid by. They viii
take the most popular periodicals
and if possible gather a library
The idea is an excellent one, and
will do a great deal of good, if car
ried out.
PERSONALITIES.
Mrs. Dora Brown, wife of d. r
Brown, has left, to visit her friends
in Wayne. Miss Bette Caldwell
passed through town the other day
on her way to the Mcclure Insti
tute, where she may possibly teacE
next session. Miss c. taught many
months in this vicinity, and is /;
lady of such culture, refinement anc
skill in teaching that she will prove
an acquisition to any community
that can secure her services as pre-
ceptress. Mrs. w. w. Gordon ha,
been visiting her father, Col. Hill
Of Marshall. Mr.. Sam Yokely ant
Mr.. Mack Alexander attended tn,
! Democratic State Convention il
Nashville. The latter gentleman
some time ago, after hearing a Ger
tain lecture on marriage, &c, sai'
that he believed there were tire
things Providence did not know
Whom a widow would marry; hoy
a jury would decide, and what II
made Mr.. S. for. The doubt is tn
more singular as coming from on
who can see into things himseI
about as far as any man in this EN-
of the county. Mr.. John Mitchell
/ is absent on a trip to recruit hi
health. He was wounded in til
arm during the war, has never re
covered from the effects, and th
injuries and remedies together hav
greatly shattered his constitution
We fear that there are many VIII
fail to appreciate the unpayable del
we owe those who faced death, tia
we might be free. The loss of tn
cause does not diminish the nobil
ty of former bravery, or the weight
of present obligation.
