Rev. Robt. j. Craig, of Port Roy
al, Montgomery county, was greeted
with a large audience last Sunday
morning at the Methodist church.
Being a native of this vicinity and
a general favorite this was to have
been expected. The sermon was
not only a creditable intellectual eff
fort, but possessed pathos and
fervency which demonstrated his
divine call to the ministry. The
future is bright and promising
before him. We predict for him
great usefulness Rev. j. d. Bar

his accustomed ability.

Among the songs that they sang
was 'Nearer, my Frank, to thee, :"
but as Frank could stand it no
longer, he came still nearer and in
vited the serenaders in and treated
them to horse shoe nails; but after
second thought his native generosi-
ty of soul GOT the better of him and
he brought his incest candies and
best old eye water sweetened with
sugar, which latter was relished very
much by the young gentlemen of
the party.
The farmers are busy this fine
weather gathering in their crops
and sowing wheat. l think there
will be more wheat sown this fall
than usual, as our farmers seem to
feel that cotton don't pay. We are
delighted to have Rev. Mr.. Ander-
son returned to our midst again.
Every one seems pleased with him.

Fix Your Bees for Winter.

Mr. EDITOR you will allow
me | will give your readers my plan
of fixing bees for winter, as l am so
often asked how l fix mine. If US
ing two story hive, select enough
combs to fill the lower story. There
should be l5 or 20 pounds of honey
for each took of bees The combs
that have the greatest amount OF
honey should be placed next to the
walls OF hive-nOt too much honey
in the center of hive. Now, as we
have the combs thus arranged IN the
bottom story, place two or three
strips, say Z by I of an inch and
long enough to reach across the
hive, on top bars of frames; then
place over it a piece of cloth large
enough to cover all the combs The
strips will hold up the quilt so as
the bees can have passway be
tween the bars and the quilt. A
few holes cut in the center combs
would be very. convenient, for dur
ing long cold spells in winter the
bees can move from the cluster
which is on the empty combs 20 the
combs that have honey and return
without travelling so far as to 60
clear around the comb. This should
be done with weaker stocks espe
cially. Now place the second story
on and fill up with chat, hay or
corn cobs. This will absorb all the
moisture from the bees and combs,
which will prevent any frost among
them, and the hay will help to keep
them warm. This plan is very sim
pie and cheap, and is all-sufficient
for such a winter as the last one
was with us, but if the winter should
be as cold as it was in 1876 many
weak colonies would freeze out. Ii
| were going to pack my bees for as
cold a winter as that of 1876, i
would confine them to about six
combs in the center by placing in
division boards and packing chat
between division boards and hull of
hives. With this much side pro.
lection and the top story packed as
above stated, we could carry very
weak stocks through the winter.
Now if we were using a one story
hive l should make a rim, say or
3 inches deep, set it on as you
would top story and pack chaf or
hay in it. Keep the entrance very
close, and it should not pass north
or south. Front your hive to the
east during cold winter months.

AMUsEMENTs.
Col. Mulberry Sellers and Rip Van
Wrinkle Played to Crowded
Houses.

Mr.. j. II Huntley, the popular
and rising young Southern dramat-
&c star, supported by the talented
and lovely Miss Florence Kennedy
and well selected troupe of actors.
gave two splendid ENTERTAINMENT at
Antolnette Hall during the past
week. They were billed here for
only one evening, with Col. Mulber-
~ ; Hers on the programme, but
their reception was so cordial and
the invitation for them to remain
another evening so pressing, that
Mr.. Huntly yielded and announced
that Rip Van Wrinkle would be
played on Monday evening Ac-
cordingiy another crowded house
greeted them, and still another
pressing and urgent invitation was
extended for them to remain two
more evenings at least. But Mr..
Huutley SAID his obligations 10 Fay
ettville would require him to fill his
engagement there. As a whole
the troupe is the best travelling
combination ever seen in Pulas
XII, both on the boards and off.
they demeaned themselves IN all re-
spects as first-class gentlemen and
ladies, and at any future time our
people will give them a cordial
greeting. Mr.. Hunlley himself,
young as he is, is already a star in
the profession, and one of whom
the South may be justly proud.
His conception of the character OF
Col. Mulberry Sellers we regarded
as almost perfect. In look and act
and jesture.he was the personifica
ton of that quaint, loquacious, i'm
aginative, confding genius, who
saw millions" in everything. He
was well supported by Miss Flor
ence Kennedy in the character of
Laura Hawkins, and by Mr.. Julius
Scott as ST Hawkins. and in fact by
the entire company. In the charac-
ter Of Rip Van Wrinkle on Monday
night Mr.. Huntley proved himself
the rival of the renowned 10. JEFF
ferson himself. Having seen that
celebrated comedian in this his pc
culiar role, we had regarded him as
unapprOachable, but Mr.. Huntley
ecIipsed our expectations and cleo
trified his audience. Miss Kennedy
was Gretchen herself. The other
support was not so good as in Col.
Sellers, but was above mediocrity
Mr. Huntley promises to visit Pu
laski regularly hereafter, and we
can safely promise him a liberal re-
ception at every time.

Coming Back.

Our old friend, Martin Fry, for
merly of Lynnville. has returned to
Tennessee. We have not inquired
the reason. We do not suppose it
is because he loves Texas less, but
L nnessee better. He has tried
Texas, Hunt and Fannin counties,
for several years. At first he was
pleased. We published several let
tiers from him to that effect. He no
doubt still regards Texas as great
country. But for some reason he
comes back. He will locate in
Dickson county. We welcome him
even TO Dickson, and would be re
joiced to see him gravitate back to
Giles.

Near where the limpid waters of
our little meandeTing stream loses
itself in the placid waters of the
Buchanan, is Rocky Mount church,
where the pious sons and daughters
of Ham make the welkin ring with
their calculations and hallelujahs,
likewise impregnatiDg the air with
vibrations equal in strength TO ten
claps of thunder. Monday night
last the scene was changed. A
Democratic Green back-Republican
meeting was held, the grandest, says
his Honor, 10. Brown, COL, that he
ever presided over. The Smithso-
MAN eloquence brought TO bear on
the occasion was so cogent that it
twisted up the kinks on his Honor's
head so tight chat the cracking OF
the yermin therein scared Thos. w.
A., and gave Capt. X. such a coo-
othes lOqaendi that he upbraided
Bruce for asking the "nigger"
preacher to read the proceedings of
the last Congress. All the harangu
ing of the meeting could not
change the dusky Hughes of his
Honor and friends.

"Heaped in the hollows of the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead;
They rustic to the eddying gust,
And to the rabbits tread.
Where are the fair young flowers
That lately sprang and stoed
In brighter light and softer airs,
a beauteous sisterhoodi
Alas, they are in their graves;
The gentle race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds,
With the far aud good OF ours"
In our last if we made the i'm
preston that our former school had
not been sustained only two months
we wish to correct it. 1t was q
public school and was only com
menced for two months, and had a
very good average attendance. Per
haps no school in the county has
been better sustained for at least
ten or twelve years. 1t cannot be
said of the youth of this neighbor-
hood
But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page
Rich with the spoils of time did ne'eI un-

And froze the genial current Of the soul"
Our new preacher has been with
us twice, and seems to have won
golden opinions already. Some sus-
pect that his opinion of us as po-
lite, quiet and appreciative people is
not favorable. The first night ca
mines were out in greater force and
order than usual. But we have
heard of no very serious results ex-
cept to the fastidious and weak
stomached. One little fellow was
so stirred up that he had to stay
away from school one DAY If not
more. Some have complained that
even bipeds in the congregation
were not quiet and attentive, but
talked and whispered, even on the
ladies' side, during service. We
don't think sometimes sufficient al
lowance is made for what may seem
to the over sensitive a breach of
good breeding. Let the preacher,
who, by the way, seems very consid-
crate, modest and retiring, preach,
pray and sing with all his might,
and the good brethren and sisters
in the amen corners frequently
grunt, groan and shout, then sup
pressed whispering, love talk, shut
fling of feet, eating popcorn, chest
nuts, tearing paper, DC, need not
cause much disturbance. This is
free country and the young wish to
enjoy their liberty without being
criticised and having lamps poked
in their faces. The litter, scattered
over the floor. may be swept up be-
fore next service.
Permit us, Mr. Editor, to congrat-
ulate your people upon having the
good fortune to secure the service
Of one of the most earnest, self-sac-
rificing, devoted and efficient minis
tiers we have ever known. If your
people will heartily co cooperate with
him you may expect the most ia
vorable results.
