The New SCHOOL BoOKs.-We are
authorized to say that the County School
Board while they regard their action of
last week as final, yet will defer acting on
the new books recommended, until the time
the City School Board shall meet, hoping
in the meantime the City Board may CO.
operate with view to uniformity.
On behalf of the public we trust the uni
formity decided on will be resolution not
to make any changes at present. The in
Fiction Of expense on parents unable to
bear 1t is grievous burden, and the more
we hear of the matter the more we are con-
WINGED it is not q necessary one.

A MUCH GREATER PRIvILEGE.-When
our notice was made last week of water
privileges granted to non-residents Of the
city, we did not know that the privilege
had been extended to not only one but to
taventy- fve. This fact will show our Coun-
Gil the wisdom of cancelling their action.
One of the main objects of improvements
in city is to attract population to bear
taxation incurred in making them, and this
is totally defeated by putting these in
provements outside of the city, outside Of
control by ordinance and outside of taxa
ton.

AN OLD THRESHER AT WORK.-Mr.
Moses L. Alexander of Augusta is now
threshing in the county Of Nelson with the
first Pitt threshing machine that was
brought to this county. 1t was purchased
by John Weller, living then in the neigh
borhood of Mt. Sidney, in 1850, has passed
through several hands, and is now owned
by Mr.. Alexander, having been in his pos
session for the last s or 10 years. It is in
good condition and several days ago in
Nelson county it threshed so bushels Of
wheat in forty minutes. The average
number of bushels of good wheat is about
400 per day.

IS rest Only He who made the soul can

us rest. Only He who made the soul can
satisfy it. AS with a letter from those we
love. the expressions of love there do not
satisfy, nor even the very likeness of the
sender. SO the pleasures of life God has
given us are not intended to satisfy us, but
to keep our hearts on Him. These gifts
are to the end that mans life shall not con-
sist of the abundance of the things which
he possesseth.
Rev. Mr.. Shott then prayed that after
hearing these words we might renovate
our lives, and those around might take
knowledge of us that we have been with
Jesus and that we might realize that there
is life hereafter which we may enjoy if
we live properly and consistently here be-
below.
Rev. MI. Massey, then gave out the
hymn ''Ye glittering toys of earth adieu."
which being sung, he pronounced the ben
ediction.
