Parker's Store and vicinity had
several representatives in Pulaski
first Monday, and part of them
were as rich as Jews on their re-
turn. lis a great pity that men
cannot go to the court house and
return without rendering them
selves so odious. Mr.. John D..
Brady has closed out his work here
for the present and goes to other
fields of labor, carrying with him
our best wishes. We will sadly
miss him. Ten dollars for a man

other day. He came down on us
like a sunbeam, but looks consider

Pleasant Valley.

Cotton picking is well advanced.
Some corn has been gathered, and
farmers will soon begin to SOW
wheat. The average sown TINS year
will not be SO large as it was last
year. When the wheat crop failed,
farmers looked TO their corn and
cotton which promised fine yield.
a good part of the cotton has been
already sold at low prices, and there
will be little or no surplus corn.
The outlook is not very favorable,
and what have the people to look to
for pecuniary salvation except the
greenback movement? The love of
money is naturally strong, and
seems to be intensified by its scare
ity. 1t is not strange that people
should look with favor upon party
that promises quick relief. A spirit
of distrust aud disquiet prevails TO
a very great extent through the
country. Changes, social, religious
and political, are loudly called for.
Our people are not taking a very
active part in the excitement, but
think something may be done-yes,
ought to be done, to better our condi-
tion. Perhaps too much is expect
ed from legislation. and too little
from Individual effort. For in
stance, the State now pays the tut
ton of the majority OF the children
and it is proposed to regulate text
books by Legislation. The next
step, we guess, will be to furnish
books, food and clothing for the
children of those who prefer to
spend their time whiting goods
boxes, complaining of hard times
and waiting for a breeze of good
luck to watt them on to fortune.
Misses Alice L. and Matte j.

much missed by our community.

taking lessons in music from Prot.
Werren. She takes only one lesson
week, but il she succeeds in this
as in other studies, her proficiency
will be good. JEssAMINE.

When the Olios arrived in Fay

also lobe Madden, ready to do any
thing he could for the boys. He
worked very earnestly, and on Sat
urday morning, feeling considera-

cool, he concluded he needed some
thing to brace him up, so he walked
into cigar stand and asked if he
could pawn his instrument for a

thinking himself a member of the

quite a sensation with their handsome uni

sweet music waited from the instruments.
We have had no band here since the war
which ieited so much praise from our citi-
zens. Bright Hall was filled to oyerhowing
during both performances. and the Olios
Quilted themselves with all the ease and

people should fall. out with these
God favored sections of our county
and fly to Texas we are unable to
comprehend. Texas nor any other

a more generous soil or nobler or
more social and liberal people. We
trust they may never regret tue
move-that they may find health
and prosperity; but should they
fail, let them remember our arms

and success go with every one OF
them, though we would rejoice to
