Samuel's Mill,

We notice that our friend John
Estes has made a lane through his
farm, to give some of his neighbOrs
an outlet to the Pulaski road. 1t is
not branch nor creek, but a real
dirt road. More about roads in the
future.
We learn with regret that our
worthy fellow citizen Mr.. Frank

We had apple blooms the 10th OF

On the stormy night of Wednes-
day, 9th, sensation was created
in our community by the marriage
OF Wm. Estes, Jr., To Miss NettIe
Cook, daughter of Capt. James
Cook. Parental opposition con
strained the young couple to brook
the dangers of the tempest to he
made one.
There was quilting party and
dance, a few days since, at the
house of our young friend Joe Par
sons. We were glad to learn That
no professors OF religion par,ici
pated In this amusement. After
reading the many utterances OF
leading divines of the several Pro
testant denominations, we are in
clined to believe that in less than
quarter of u century a dancing
church members light, on heaven,
will do about as much toward con
vertin9 the world as a grain of cot
lee tied to a rats tail swimming the
Mississippi will toward converting
that stream into the palatable bev
crage. The elegant dancer II rodi

ing the head of one of Gods
prol bets. Whether love for the
Loru's ministers has Increased
among the dancers, or whether the
a postles or primitive Christians
had social Dances" 1 haven't
learned.
1t appears that ministers in this
age are public targets. And what
novice may not Try bis pop gun at
them. There are complainers and
critics in the church that pay then
assessments" in this way. They
are never satisfied with 8 sermon,
long or short, warm or cold. The
paying of twenty-five cents TO a
preacher who (having just spent a
dollar shoeing his horse and rode
ten miles married the man, is a
specimen of the liberalIty of our
dissatisfied friends. A learned di-
vine following this class TO the
heavenly world (if mercy saves
them imagines he hears occasion
ally Gabriel let me out angel so
and so, and can't get along; I'll
have TO leave here" If people will
pay more to, and pray more for, the
preachers, they would have less
grounds and time &C find fault with
aud criticise those who are already
burdsned with cares and struggling

Next week we will reproduce the
portrait of our fellow-citizen, d..
L. b. Harwell, the present Grand
Master of the State Grange, tOgeth-
err with his address on assuming
the duties of the office. The Doc
tors native modesty will doubtless
be shocked at the liberty We thus
take with his physiognomy, but We
are sure he need not be ashamed to
"face" the critical eye of the public,
and need not blush even when "tair
woman looks love to eyes that
speak again" There now. We
I'd not mean to tell that he is un-
married. But let it go. We make
no apology to the ladies. Now is
their chance to secure the shadow
if they caa't get the substance.

Since o communication from this
place, many changes have taken
place. Some have died, some haye
married, Others have changed home s,
thus severing the fond ties and af
fections of relatives and friends.
The soul that was gloomy and de-
spondent IS now buoyant with hope.
Nature, though a short time since
was naked and apparently lifeless,
is spreading her carpet of green pre-
paratory to the beginning OF a new
life. The winds that blew cold
and cutting blast from the north
are changed to gentle zephyrs per
fumed with the breath of spring.
The forest that was silent and life
less is made vocal by the song of
birds. The brooks and rivulets
seem more active in dischargiug
themselves into the larger bodies of
water. Life is made up of changes,
aud the poet expresses much in lit
tie when he says:
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Lllc ~ out an empty dream
For lie soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem"

Buford's Station.

Buford's Station, though one OF
the smallest towns In the county
numerically, is yet one of the
largest commercially. Situated as
it is in one OF the finest sections OF
country to be found in the State, it
naturally commands a fine trade.
With two of the best and most en-
terprising merchants in the county,
Messrs. Henry Brannan and John
Kerr, who are fully up with the
times.
Wheat in this section is unusually
fine this season. Some fears are
entertained that it may yet be dam
aged by late frosts.

management of one of the best
teachers in the State, Prof Frank
Buiord. 1 understand that the
citizens of this vicinity contemplate
at an early day building a large

establish high school here. Stu
ated in such favored neighbor-
hood, and with such a teacher as
Prof. Frank Buford, it would soon
rival any school in the county.
Now for the fair sex If beauty,
wit, grace and intelligence are pass
