A MANAGERS D1sAPPo1NrMENT.-A story
concerning Meissonier is gleefully told in
Paris. The manager of New York theatre
took it into his head that he would like to
have q drop curtain painted by the great
artist. So off he trudged to Meesonier's
study and asked his terms. Chow large
is the curtain to be 2" asked Meissonier,
quite seriously. "Fifteen metres by
eighteen" answered the manager. Meis-
sonier began to reckon, and then, paper in
hand, no explained that as his pictures
bring him 10000 francs per twenty cent?
metres, OIL 1000 francs per metre, the cur
tain would cost just 81, SOC, 900 francs !;
that is to say something over 81 900, 600
"But," added the pain Uer, "the price would
not be our greatest difficulty. But it
would be time. 1 take three months to
paint twenty. five centimetres of canvas.
You see, therefore, that my age would not
suffice to paint your curtain, which would
take me over 200 years to completely The
American declared that he could not wait
60 long, and departed in state of myst f.
cation, leaving the painter rejoicing. The
etory doesn't seem impossible.

MEssRs. EDIToRs Thinking probably
you would like to have a few lines and
know how the people in this thriving little
village are getting along, l will endcavor to
write you short sketch in my own way.
Our farmers are busy sowing their wheat.
The scales arc beginning to fall from their
eyes, and they sec that it is utterly impos-
sible for them to live at home and raise so
much cotton, and think if the farmers of
old Hardcman would drop their cotton crop
two-thirds, and turn their attention more to
raising of grain and stock, they would in
few wears pull out from under these mort
cages and trust deeds. The present system
of farming is not only starving the poorer
class of our people, but it Is starving our
land to death on account of the clean cui-
turc that is required in the cotton crop.
Think of it, We "horny handed" farmers, if
you take the life from the soil, you take
that which rightly belongs to your children.
l could say more on this subject, but think
the farmers grocery bills Is enough to sat
isfy them. That the present system Is a
bad one is proved by the people of our vici-
nifty can dispose of all their surplus produce
raised on the farm by carrying it to our
Standard" merchant, w. d. Rainey, who is
the best merchant the people have ever had
at GAINESVILLE Mr. Rafney is the right
man in the right place, and says that nc
would not give Evansville for any point on
the railroad for selling goods.
Our debating society still thrives. The
subject debated last Saturday night was on
the present system OF farming as being de-
structivc to the people Of Iardcmau county,
and which was gained by J. Il. Crawford,
negative side of raising grain and stock. }.

breed of potatoes most obstinately refuse to
grow after having been dug. There was in
decd little excitement the other day, caus-
ed by statement of one of our best farmers.
He said he had just finished digging his
crop (74 bushels) of sweet potatoes, and
felt confident that every thirteen of them
would weigh pound!
The country around here is admirably
adapted to the raising of stock, especially
sheep. Upon an average, each family could
contribute three dogs to protect the focks
from enemies, and by remarkably ingeni-
Gus system Of economy the dogs could board
themselves. I present these grand induce

at considerable distance behind them.

are also little behind in the matter of
amusements, but we propose to inaugurate
soon a series of corn shuckings, with quilt
ing attachments, at which We intend TO en-
JOY ourselves hugely. And we expect by
way of imitation and Improvement to or
ganize a debating society, and re-discuss
those time honored questions upon which so
much rustic eloquence has been displayed,
and so many conflicting decisions rendered.
The morals of this community are as good

From Teaguc's.

MEssRs. EDITOR When your welcome
me that had promised to write again soon.
Everything about leagues is quiet. Crops
are being gathered and wheat sowing has
begun in earnest, and nearly all our farm
crs are sowing this fall Indeed, think it
would be hard matter TO find more
thriving village than ours, although your
Clover-Creek correspondent rather inclined
to make light of the Teaguevillians, but we
forgive him on account Of his youth. He
was right in saying that Drs Anderson and
Robinson should have part of the cash, but
do not think they want more that what
legally belongs to them.
Vcrnon's gin is well enough, but Mr..
Garland Anderson's is much better, it being
aside from Captain Daniels the best in the
northern part of the county. Mr.. Anderson
is one of our best mon, having been one of
our school directors for several years, and
has always given perfect satisfaction.
1t is whispered that one of leagues fair
daughters Is soon to become bride. l
cannot vouch for it, but if it should be so
Squire Tate will let you know.
The fair comes off at Jackson this week,
and a great many through the country are
talking of going, but l have heard no one
speak of going from here, as we do not be-
licve in such thing, prefering to remain at
home and talking about our neighbors.
1t is strange "Quid Nunc" docs not know
-
family has been sick, that accounts for it.
Am better pleased than ever with your
excellent paper, and wish we could get it
every day instead of once a week
