NIcssrs Editors:
Having read the interesting letters in your
excellent paper, we are tempted to take
advantage Of the privilege, for which We are
Indebted to you, b. letting you hear from
this district
To begin we will tell you of
pleasant day spent with the hospitable peo-
pie OF Hickory Valley. May 9TH. The day
Of sacred rest was bright and beautiful
when we set out TO attend church at that
place, and on arriving, found that we would
have the pleasure Of listening to Rev w.
s. Cochrane, and notwithstanding it was
several miles distant, We were well repaid
by able, eloquent sermons both morning and
evening, for our long ride. The church was
crowded to overlooking, and the horses and
vehicles standing in the beautiful grove
reminded Us Of the old times and were
an encouraging sign OF the prosperity Of the
country. 1t has never been our fate to
meet with more hospitable people and their
kindness Will ever be 4 pleasant page in
our life,s history. The pleasure Of the day
was enhanced rather then marred by such
exciting accidents a. our expert drivers try
ing to accomplish the wonderful feat Of
running over trees and stunps, etc. We
must not forget TO mention, among the
crowd, the delegates from Bolivar, COM
posed Of Mrs c., Misses ". [. and J.,
Mr.. P, and junior editor Of your paper.
The Murphy movement has not yet reach
ed the Valley, but we are expecting the
senior editor, among Others, to lecture Sun
day May 18th, Of which we are glad, Is we
dislike to be behind in the promotion of
this noble cause.
We are conscious that it viii be consider
ed rather outre not to mention the condition
Of crops, but we mas. confess that it Is not
exactly in our line of business, and no
doubt the subject has already been exhaust
ed. But we do know that Strawberries are
abundant and just in their prime, and that
going westward, the sweetgum Is very enjoy
able and never failing source Of pleasure.
We anticipate dance and several fish
ing excursions to onliven the mcnotony ii
our country life this week, and If this first
cpistolary attempt meets with favor in your
eyes, and you deem il worthy Of publica-
ton, you will hear from Us next week.
Your constant reader. I. d. & II.

Last Sunday our junior attended
religious services at this place, CON
Quoted by Rev Mr. Cochrane. There
was a large attendance Of the good
people of this thrifty section. Rev.
Mr.. Cochrane is highly esteemed by
ali classes, and is doing much to build
up a congregation He hopes soon to
erect a comfortable house Of worship
at the Valley.
We are indebted TO J. r. McClarty
and family for hospitabIe attantians.
He Is rising young merchant and is
doing a fine business, assisted by his
popular partner, j. A. Rogers. In
the afternoon, in most pleasant COM
pany, we called at Mr.. Mont Jones,
where warm welcome awaited the
party. After some accidents, and
much romance, we reached Bolivar
safely. Read Tom, Dick and Harry's
letter elsewhere.

Good Talks.

Last Monday evening Prof Price
delivered an able and convincing adj
dress on intellectual and moral culture
Being an experienced educator, he
spoke most forcibly on this important
subject. He showed that Bolivar had
been and IS now a heavy loser in thrift
and prosperity because her schools are
not patronized. They sicken and
wane, while those in other sections of
the county flourish. Bolivar, a few
years more without strong schools,
will be a finished place. He referred
to the Female Institute and its able
management, and said that it only
needed an enlarged patronage to make
it a great success. He showed that 4
male school Of high grade was ne
cessity in our midst. All present
were highly pleased with the views of
Prof Price We must hear again
from him at an early day. This sub
ject of education must be forced upon
public attention. The people must be
aroused to their duty.
DR.. Day delivered the temperance
The doctor is Il gentleman
Of no ordinary literary and profess
sional culture. Misfortune in life and
dissipation have forced him to endure
many pecuniary straits, and now that
he has resolved to stand erect once
more as a reformed man, he should
have the good cheer and moral sup
port Of all classes. 1t is Il piteous
sight to see a fellow-mortal struggling
in the surf of vicious indulgence and
not throw him a rope of sympathetic
interest and pull him ashore. His
speech was excellent.
If this temperance movement can
save even one man and bring sunlight
to even one family, our work will have
a full reward.

under his instruction. He is q
capital teacher and withaI exerts
a strongly marked Christian in
fuence over :his pupils. The
teachers charts along side that
of a parent in directing the veal
of the young. Monday we re
turned to our sanctum to shout
der the responsibilities of the
pen, not though without many
pleasant thoughts Of the tenn
perance work at Whiteville.

cation effected there Sunday

BOLIVAR, May :, 1873.

Mr.. Editor:
Please publish the following extract. It
is very applicable to this locality 1t may
do good: FRIEND.
Pew GOslings and CsiEsIers.
The man who peDned the following para
graph Tor the Methodist Recorder left no
margin for misapprehension as to his opin-
ion on the above subject. "The popular
clamor for short sermons lac says, is kept
up by restless class Of young persons who
are smarter than their parents and pastors
They get the fidgets il sermon reaches be
yond fifteen or twenty minutes. And yet
these same goslings Of both genders, when
they come together in Il social party or
meet in the parlor, VIII waste solid hours III
stupidest common places. Their talk does
not rise to the dignity OF conversation. It
Is a twaddle. It Is nonsense from first to
last; it is verse than waste of time of life,
of everything. Bat these giggIer-, from
the green goose pastures, presume to know
how long a minister should preach, And
here and there the kind-souled pastors &C
commodate their sermons 10 the gosling
taste. Let the pulpit have the time to dis
cuss the topics It undertakes and let the
discussion be so fresh, vigorous ana attrac-
tive as to arrest attention from all who
have heart and brain to understand. For
goose in the pulpit Is worse than a gosling
i'll the pew"
Debating societies and reading clubs have
now Il chance to provide themselves with
full library of frst-class reading matter
