Our farmers have made war upon
Mr.. Green since the rain ceased and
have about got the upper hand of
him, so that the prospect for good
corn crop is very good, if we can
have rain hereafter. King cotton
is not noticed much in this section.
Wheat threshing is in full speed
this week; both Separator and
Ground Hog are trying to see
which is the biggest hog. Wheat
is yielding II to 10 bushels pei
acre. Candidates are swarming.
1t would be something so very new
to say that everything is quiet here,
that we will not venture to say
that, but will show a frowning
face to Satan's rage If we had
the power of Jupiter, we would
not only bind the dragon for a
thousand years but forever. Come,
brethren, let us read 18th chapter
Romans and 4th chapter LIST John
and learn to drive him away. Our
school, closed here on last Friday
after a session of six months, taught
by H. G.. Morley, and now comes
that greatest of curses to the com
mon interest of education, the free
school and of course a disturbance
which is natural to its workings.
How much do you get for teaching?
The same as a man with third
grade certificate, who has never
spent time and money in qualifying
himself and the prime of life in
study. The apprentice gets as
much as the master-what's the
difference? A teacher is a teacher
anyhow. This is a splendid point
for school; but bark! that awful
sound breaks in upon Belgium
capitol-a lack of cooperation. If
we had the pen of your Bellville
correspondent or of n Kully, we
might tell you that our yOung la
dies equal theirs, but we don't wish
to advertise; if anybody can not
take our word let them come and
see for themselves. Neither do
our young ladies propose TO cap
ture hearts and send them away
without recompense: Cupid never
leaves this section and we wish he
would shoot an arrow once in a
while at jealousy; however he sue
ceeds sometimes in working up a
heart to say:
Clearer than all things else thou art
Light Of my home; joy of my heart.
Sweet partner ofm life,
Thou at to me the better part,
Ny own sweet wife,"
Listen to the old bachelor as he
tries to justify himself, "He can't
be wrong whose life is in the right"
Lay him upon the shelf, he is fossil
lated, and let him learn to labor and
to wait. We have preaching every
Sunday except the fifth, and Sunday
School in the morning. Shall we
stop the Sunday School on account
of big meetings, If our hearts are
in the work let us hold on. We lis
tened to a mastery sermon from
our p. E. Barbee at Friendship on
Sunday, 23rd. All right, Bro. Bar
bee; come to see US often, and you
shall have q square meal if we have
it. We expect to have prOtracted
meeting here after awhile and will
be glad to welcome any of PulaskIs
young men who are gentlemen, but
we would advise them to leave their
cigars in town, as country people
are not accustomed to such things.
We learn that a Mr.. Thompsoa
was caught in the machinery of
Messrs. Aymett's thresher and seri
ously hunt one day last week. So
much for the Separator and lack
of caution and knowledge OF ma
chinery. Success to your Laps. ID.
Come forward gentlemen, and let
us support our county man solid.
Don't go to Texas.
