Mt. MOriah Sacramento Meet
ing.

On last Sabbath morning on &C
count Of the continuous rains on
the previous days, Weakley's creek
was not fordable at the Mt. Moriah
Ford. In consequence of which,
many families on the north side of
the creek, who expected to come
out enmasse with baskets packed
and filed with delicious viands and
dainties, and with buggies, rocka-
ways and spring wagons crowded
with fathers, mothers, brothers,
sisters and little ones, could not do
so. Notwithstanding the unfayor-
able circumstance various persons
from the opposite bank OF the
creek were in attendance. Some
reached their destination by max
ing circuitous routes; some by rid
ing to the "Ford," hitching and
walking the remainder of the way,
crossing by means of a "foot los"
which some kind friend had placed
over the troublesome stream, while
still others by dIsmounting upon
the opposite bank, driving their
horses across and then themselves
walking across the "foot log
Many families on this side turned
out IN full force, and when the hour
for preaching arrived a congrega-
ton very respectable both in size
and quality was in attendance. We
regret that everybody in the com
munity was not there. The ser
mons by Rev. w. f. Mckenzie were
emiuently appropriate and able
powerful in truth, powerful in log
ic- powerful in spirituality. They
we're truly soul elevating, and soul
inspiring, and we regret very much
that our people are not permitted
oftener TO hear such. IL all who at
tended we're not bountifully fed,
refreshed and strengthened both in
body and spirit. it was surely not
the fault of our kind friends who
loaded the tables with such plenti
lul suppIes,nor OF the minister who
so faithfully and 50 earnestly dis
peused from the pulpit the grea:
truths OF the gospel. May our kind
Heavenly Father grant unto us
many such refreshing sermons.

One of the Fayetteville papers

One of the Fayetteville papers
seems to be willing to help US in
the Bethany pike matter, while the
other has not much to say. The
people down there do not seem to
want 1t. If they will get up their
petitions to the County Courts and
then help us prevail on the Magis-
trates and work up public favor, we
have no doubt it will be built. We
again assert that it is a burning
shame that Pulaski and Fayetteville
should have such a miserable road
connecting them. This pike is a
public and a general necessity, not
alone for the people who live along
the line, but for general travel be-
tween the two towns and for the
good of the whole country along the
entire line and the towns them
selves. Work with us, if you wish
the pike.

Aspen Hill.

The recent rains IN this section
have made the farmers all glad and
the prospects for good crop are
tiattering. Some have been cutting
their wheat and say that it is more
than an average crop. The grain
is better and more of them than for
many years. We have plenty of
rain now, and with ten days OF good
weather the farmers will have all
their wheat cut and be ready for
threshing. There will be test be
tween the Vibrator and the new
Russell at Mr.. James Strong's in n
short time. The Russell seems to
be the favorite in these parts for
cleaning wheat.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Mitchell, one of our
clever and energetic citizens has
purchased some very fine stock re-
Gently. Mr.. Mitchell is a perfect
stock man, and anybody can always
find some very desirable animals in
his fine pastures.
We have Sunday-school now every
Sabbath under the management of
our worthy neighbor and superin-
tendent, r. b. Causby The school
is largely attended, and is getting
along splendidly.
One of our neighbors thought his
horse was run mad the other day,
but upon examination found that
his animals ears were filled with
gnats. We have no fruit scarcely OF
any kind in our neighborhood, the
peaches being all killed by frost.
Blackberries will soon be ripe, ard
we will have TO put up with a berry
pie, or will have to go out to Mr..
Dave Cox's to get some OF his fine
peaches if his fine corn don't shade
the trees again this year. LEO.

The Rules and Regulations Of the
Giles Mutual Life Association are
now printed and can be found at
the office of McCord d Stacy.
They have been circulated to some
extent and the people had oppor
tunity to learn that it is just as we
represented it, an institution de
signed for the good of our people
and upon such basis that it can
not be abused. Blank applications
for membership can be obtained at
the same place or from Drs. Steele
or Bate, Capt. Arrowsmith, Capt.
Crow and others. We wish to see
the number of names Immediately
run up to two hundred. We are
sure our friends through the coun-
try will recognize in this a safe in
surance, a thing which they have
never before enjoyed, and will avail
themselves of its benefits. No one
can have any reason for imposing
upon and disappearing this thing
to you, for there are no salaries, no
perquisites and nothing to eat up
the Benefit Fund. The little nee
cessary expenses are paid from the
interest of this Fund and the body
of the Fund is never touched. The
friends of the Association will at
once call and get blanks and go TO
work and let us make this a grand
benefit 70 our county and one of
the best institutions in the land.

We shall soon conclude that we
have lived in vain if we are sub
jected to much more of this worm
wood and gall. We vainly staked
all on the Huntsville drill and i'm
agined that earth would have no
further pleasures and that droop-
ing dispair would fling decorating
pail of misery over our existence
if the thing didn't come off according
to program. We didn't go because
we were afaid it wouldn't trans
pire and we would be a witness to
the heart-rending catastrophe, and
sure enough we were convulsed with
the cherries news that the drill
was off, They didn't say whether
they bit it off, broke it of, cheesed
it off, touched it of, or it went off
itself-but the simple, narrowing,
racking, intolerable announcement,
'it is of" They say the Chicasaws
would not dance because the Rifles
demanded the bayonet exercise as
part of the drill. That was simply
to get out of it. Whoever thought
of going anywhere without being
prepared with the bayonet exercise.
Why, it is as indispensable as the
eating exercise. Whole families in
Georgia are going crazy over the
hayonet exercise and the children
cry for it and every body takes 1t.
The charming, delightful, exquisite,
enchanting, ravishing, rapturous,
thrilling, heavenly, fascinating, be-
witching, delectable, dainty bayo-
net exercised How our heart pants
for its sweets and how we wonder
that everybody is not au fat in the
transporting manipulation of the
charming bayonet! Now if the
Rifles had insisted on the "staying
sober" exercise and the Chicasaws
had objected, we would have sided
with them. On such occasions, to
sustain weary nature, it is positive
ly necessary to cary on the compo-
tation exercise so as to keep the
spirits up to that unctious state of
enravishing stimulation so becom
ing to the drilling swlllers, or
swilling drillers, and so necessary
to make a man of half grown boy.
However, it is off, and pity tbs.
We are ready to throw up our cap
and hurrah, "bully for Capt. Dun
cans sore toe"
