Inc UlSeNNt VI NFll"N ANY,
The current uumber Of Scribner's
Monthly has a brief but timely paper
upon meudicaucy as a disease, treating
il in its various forms of dcad-heaImg,
tramping, and general pauPeriSm. The
prevalence and rapid growth OF the dis
ease invest the subject with unusual
importance, since at the present rate OF
progress it is only a question of time,
and of very short time, now soon mendl
cancy will reduce this country 10 the
condition of Sicily and southern Italy.
The writer to whom we have alluded
very truly says: "Leprosy is not moro
iucurable than mcndicancy. When the
disease has once fastened itself upon a
man-uhen through long months or
wears, he has willingly and gladly lived
upon the industry of Others, and roamed
around without a home-he becomes a
hopeless case aid nothing but the strong
arm of the law can make him a sell

have gone further and shown that the
natural result of confirmed mendicancy

a lazy and shittless habit OF life, either
neutral in its origin or transmitted 10

We do not feel that we will add
anything to the interest of your val
liable paper by contributing our
mite to its columns, but when we
devour it's contents weekly (for we
feel as if we had not had our break

CITIzEN) we think that our neigh

is behind time. With these feelings
predominant, we sit us down not to
give you anything rare or spicy, but
few incidents from our locality.
With the continuation of the
blessings of the Giver of all good
things the prospects are fattering.
Wheat is looking fine, 'and as there
was quite a quantity sown we expect
large yield. Corn planting, de
layed some time by rain, is nearly
or quite oyer, with the exception of
some who are Flowing up their cot

counts from almost all parts except
this of Giles. So we have conclud-
ed to give you an occasional report
of our earthly march. We are not
indulging ourselves so much as to
think we will interest, but merely to
report.
Winter has withdrawn his icy
letters from these parts, and the
bleak clouds of winter storm have
ceased to hover over the sunny sky.
We sensibly realize the joyous feel
ings melted into our bosoms when
we take our evening ramble, behold
ing nature in its richest grandeur
and beauty, and listen to the sweet
voice of the robin in the month of
May. Husbandry in this neighbor-
hood, as in all others, seems to be
in the rear 0n account Of the excess
sive wet weather. Wheat is in q
most promising stage; and if we
are to judge the harvest from pres
ent indications there will be most
abundant yield.
We have a very large school at
our academy compared to others we
have teen able to hear from. 1t is
under the supervision of Mr.. Z. L.
Harwell The school numbers be-
tween 40 and so pupils, aud is yet
an increase expected. A Sunday
school is also in session which
should be encouraged and kept up.
There is not a place any where more
suitable for a Sunday-school than
this. There is a nice forest in front
of the academy which renders it
very pleasant in the spring and
summer season. The number Of
children is estimated to be 100 in
this vicinity. May 4th. U. G.

is coming up rapidly, and the gentle
rains of late will aid in getting a
good stand. Mr.. Observator said In

from the fact that if the war con-

and the farmer will reap bountifnlly

young ladies avail themselves OF the
opportunity to gain the instruction
he is capable of imparting to them,
and may the teacher seek wisdom
from on high that alike both may
be benefited.
On last Sunday large crowd was

years of age, take the last sad look
at him she had so lately known as
a protector. May Heaven be pro-
pitious to her, as her loss is his
eternal gain.
The young folks have been en-
joying themselves hugely for the
last few weeks in different amuse-
ments. On last Saturday evening
there was a croquet party ut Major
Aymett's. On Sunday evening we
had singing, where all seemed to
enjoy themselves to their hearts
content-if not in singing the songs
of Zion, it was singing the songs of
love to the adored ones. We have
