in Nashville recently we spent
our young friend and former employee,
Mr.. John NJ. Hill, now engaged in the
office of the Baptist Reflector, and we are
pleased to state for the benefit of his
relatives and many friends in this COM
munity, that the various stories that
have for some weeks been circulating
here detrimental to his good name, are
utterly false and slanderous. How such
lies were first put atioat will probably
be developed sooner or later, as john is
moi of the kind that patiently tolerates
everything.

DISTRICT NO. IL.

EDITORS CHRoNICLE: have
previously noticed articles in your
very excellent paper, in regard to
the educational advancement of the
colored race. And as you have al
ways shown a disposition to accord
honor to those to whom honor is
due, / concluded it would only be
Justice to our colored friends in this
section, to aPprize your readers,
such as feel an interest in this mat
ter, that our cOlOred people are fully
up with their race of other sections,
both in moral and educational adj
Vancement. The writer of this ar
ticle, together with six or eight of
our best citizens, were invited on
the 18th ult., to attend a Sunday
School picnic, at Smiths School
house. We arrived upon the ground
about IL O'Clock, and found Sam
Rogers (col.) Superintendent and
general manager, with his School
on dress parade, uniformed to some
extent and well drilled; Pump
Martin (col.) and George Cooke
(col.) presiding over the barbecue
pit of about fifteen carcasses, and
Dan Moody and others as a COM
mittee to see that their white friends
were properly cared for. With this
arrangement we were satisfied that
the inner man would not suffer, as
Pump and George know how to
cook, and old Dan how to treat
hungry man. About half-past II
O'Clock we were informed that din
ner for the white people was ready.
We moved off promptly to a table
prepared for us, which was loaded
with well cooked and seasoned
meats and many other nice things,
and old Dan and Others ready to
wait upon us. The cOlOred people
all dined about the same time, and
] understand Jared sumptuOusly at
their table. After dinner their
schools were again formed and an
hour perhaps, spent in singing,
which reflected considerable credit
upon their Sunday school, as some
judges of music pronOuncedit slpen-
did. Sam Rogers and Rev. Dock
Cooke, (eOl.) then addressed them
on the subject of education, but as
/ had a business engagement, could
not stay to hear them, but am in
clined to think that they acquitted
themselves very creditably.
Our cOlored people of this Dis
trict have an order known as the
Sons of Union, which think is a
verp creditable and charitable or
der, and should be encouraged
throughout the county, as it is both
10 the interest of the cOlOred people
as every taxpayer of the county.
When one of their members get
sick and il in destitute circumstan-
ees, the order buys for them the
necessary food and medicine, and
I'm case of death give them a decent
burial. And this is one reason why
fewer paupers are buried by the
county from this section than any
other in proportion to colored pop
ulatiOn. In conclusion | must say
that we have as intelligent and re
spectacle colored population as any
district i'm the county of Mont
gOmery.

All miaSmatic complaints, in other words,
all disorders generated by unwholeSOme

prevalent at this season. In every section
subject to the visitation of fever and ague, or
other forms of intermittent disease, the
causes which produce these maladics are
now actively at work. This, therefore, is
period of the year when the inhabitants of
such districts should prepare their systems

half crop, so Billy Patterson, the
sweet potatoe man, says.
We have been having a splendid
time hunting foxes BY moonlight,
and have caught six ia the lastthree
weeks. About fifteen of us and
twenty hounds run one all night
long about two weeks ago, and then
did not catch him; but they say
he was "red." He lost us among
gang of young "pOssGns,p and we
never found him again. The fact is,
there were too many ''possum" dogs
and too much aqua rite along to
catch them. But some of us con-
soled ourselves next day with "pos-
sum sop and sweet potatoes" for
dinner, with good appetites to eat
it; 1, for one, am hungry yet after
such a chase.
The acreage in wheat this year
will be a third larger than it was
last. The farmers have come TO the
conclusion (the right one it is) that
it will pay better to raise something
more to eat and less to "chaw."
Tobacco is so low now that / have
heard a dozen say that they would
never raise another leaf. i guess,
however, they were "gassing;" at
all events they are sowing a great
deal more wheat. J. p. d. d Co.

hundred acres, and have bought
