Editers Bulletin:
II you Will excuse my awkward manner,
I will drop YOU few lines. We had a
heavy rain and wind last night, but to-day
has been a beautiful day. Our farmers are
as busy as bees, preparing their lands for
the next crop. Wheat and oats though
late, are looking well and promising
good yield. Don't let it alarm you when I
tell you that / have been to church to-day.
Preaching Is sadly neglected in this part of
the country through the winter months
SIbbath-schoOls are only kept up through
the spring and summer Notwithstanding
parties taking their places in winter. | am
not speaking OF the vicinity OF UBct alone,
but of the whole country for several miles
around in every direction. | remember
that these things attained in my boyhood
The boys and girls are trained in the Sab
bath-schools during summer and allowed to
I attend places Of vice in the winter. Pa
rents are 10 blame about these things, for |
notice that many ProfessCd christian men
allow these froiics at their houses and al
low their children to attend them ut other
places. What does that book called the
Bible say: raise up n child in the way It
should 90, and when 1t Is old it will not
depart thercfrom." Here Is something else
that Is practIced by many profeszed chris
tians which we think is certainly wrong.
/ Engaging in those idle legends and black
guard stories which seen 10 be the theme
/ Of sone people. In Mathew, 12th chapter
! and Seth verse, We have this language: But,
( say unto you that every idle word that
men speak, they shall give account thereof
/ in the day Of judgment Think OF this lei
1 low traveller to the tomb, and AZ ! heard a
good old man say to-day in PRAYER: with
3 the opening Of the spring Of 1873 may we
/ set out upon 4 new life" Parents and school
/ teachers have the human race in their hands
/ at a time when human nature is mos; sUs-
aeptiblc OF good and favorable impressions.
/ If they are Intelligent, humane and pious,
/ they can do more than all the ministers,
priests and law-giyers in the world. Ii any
! one would reform and bless mankind let
him give them good and Intelligent parents
and school-masters. But We need Normal
schools 10 make good teachers, and have
persons Of good sense, good education and
morals 10 train them Tor the work. Three
things are essential to good education:
these are instruction, example and train ng.
Some persons think that percept and
example are enough; but training i
more essential than either Of them. Very
many have good prccepto and good exam
pies before them, but because OF laek ci
training are neither . b. s-ing nor urua=

After searching that valuable journal,
the Bulletin, expecting to see something
from the neighborhood of IIayes's creek,
and seeing nothing, l supposed it had no
correspondent, and concluded myself 10 let
your many readers know how We are getting
on. Our farmers are losing but little time
in preparing for the coming crops. Tie
post Of them have sown their oats, and are
now breaking up their other land-Health
is generally good, and we are all peaCeabie
and sociable, looking out for candidates
when the weather becomes settled.-I
see from one of your worthy correspondents
from Piney complaint of excessive visiting
among the neighbors of that vicinity. The
way to remedy that Is TO do like the fisher
man did the dOctOr-returD the visits, and
if your neighbours family exceeds yours IL
number, make your visits in proportion.
But highly approve Of GTeside association,
and think that ii neighbors would visit
each other frequently, there would not be
80 much selhshness and divisions of neigh
| borhoods. Why if our neighbOrhoods were
not so divided up We would have better
schools for if a teacher goes to a divided
neighborhood to get a school he can scarcely
obtain subscribers enough to pay him to
| teach. If people would associate more and
talk upon practical subjects, it would do a
vast deal of good. And if our farming
| friends would all read some good paper
like the Bulletin, we would sll be richer
and wiser and better, and wouldn't miss the
! few extra grains Of coffee and slices OF ba-
con dispensed in ncighborly hospitality.

Ah Cleo. "you have changed your dress,
but know your voice" As d member OF
,hc worthy TRIO 1 feel highly complimented
at having once been thought "the right man
IN the right place" However that may be,
my word for it, never feIt further out Of
place than when passing that dish OF butter.
And you think perhaps we have managed
to save fifty cents each with which to cash
the bill in case we should be so fortunate as
to need ''the papers" Perhaps you accord
to us more forethought than we justly
merit. Now, really, do you think we would
spend fifty cents so foOlishly when "bug
juice" is going at ten cents 4 glass and cigars
AT five cents each? In behalf of our Grand
Junction friends allow me to say that l can
not think any OF them 50 consummatcly green
as to suppose their country cousins, living
only a few miles from town, TO be "unciyil-
lied" No, gentle Cleo, II does not have
the ring OF truth. If such thing was in
tended it must have been in Jest. Madam
Gossip says so? Perhaps the madam Is
mistaken. Now, l would not presume to
teach you, but one might infer that you
have never learned the important lesson,
that it is an easy matter for Il person to be
mistaken. Respectfully, PHILo.

As have not seen WhitevilIe represented

deavor to ''fill little spot' this week. Our
town has grown a great deal in the last
twelve months, in trade if not in bulk, ow-
ing to the amount OF stock purchased by

seems TO be prosper;ng ana TO understand
his vocation. And in cases Of emergency
lust call on his 'boss clerk. " who can readily
give the desired information. Mr.. {. A. d.
and Mr. J. N. VI. also seem to be bringing
on a very good stock, and have also one OF
those ''boss clerks" The three combined
render Whiteviile 4 real prosperous village,
that thinks she can afford Il Mardi-Gras IN
a year or two. They also create a market
for any kind of produce old Hardeman can
afford--We have a real thriving school,
taught by Mr. Collins, who is competent to
instruct and is worthy of his calling He
has about thirty or thirty five students, d
good many OF whom are boardcrs. \ good
" number OF the fair sex attend. We did
have TWO schools for awhile, but one has
been suspended for q season-We have
plenty of money, are rich and reckless, and
so-forth, and-so-on; good deal of which is
spent for treats-or, "Ropasts," / should
have said, by the young gentlemen. One
OF these ''repaste" that deserves notice, was

Messrs. Editors:
Thinking you would like to hear from
this part Of the country l will try to give
you an linking, though 1 am afraid the
dea7th OF news viii preclude the possibility
of writing yOu an interesting letter. We
are a nature-loving people, with free and
unreserved habits, and much prefer our
mode OF living to the busy monotony, the
thronged loneliness, the duh whirl of town
life. Yet l beg you not to think we are so
far removed from the bedu-moade that we
take no interest in events that transpire in
our neighbOring town. Your interesting
paper visits these rural haunts weekly, and
we take great pleasure in perusing its newsy
columns. l am an enemy to every species
of hattery, but (entrc nous Mr.. Editor, it is
among the best papers read in our rustic
home-The weather is truly delightful
Who can imagine half the gladness that
the farmers heart must feel as he watches
the 'silver mornings, azure moons and pUr-
pie evenings" that have dawned upon Us
for the past week-The yeung people in
this locality are extremely scarce; so VIC
plod on, never dream of merry-makings
and are contented with the consoling senti-
ment that
Pleasures are like peoples spread
4ou seize the flower, its bloom Is shed"
However, we are just as we are, and find
many true pleasures in our quiet home and
surroundings. Wishing your paper much
success, and bidding you kind. ga reroi-.
l am, respectfully, MADGE.

Writes a grabbed bachelor: Three girls
got on the train at Grand junction yester-
day. a dozen others focked to the window
from the platform and set up q chattcring,
kissing and giggling, that suggested a
myriad of chimney-swallows in hot dis
cussion over the latest hon-hawk incursion

Last Friday we visited St. James Hall
and attended the examination of classes in
Geometry and Latin. Those departments
are in charge OF Rector Gray. The pupils
exhibited marked proficiency. The reel

and see its workings under Rector Gray's
management, assisted by an able corps OF
teachers. AS a people we cannot afford to
see this institute failure. 1t deserves the
