Wherever God erects house of prayer
The devil builds a chapel there.n

"Wherever God erects house of prayer,
The devil builds a chapel there"
But the ubiquitary Cupid, aware
of this being an age in which the
people are not surprised at anything
has in rather a romantic way sue
ceeded his satanic majesty about
Rehoboth. and instead of a chapel
he boasts of an hymenial altar there
where victims, by short notice, car
be inundated without the shedding
of blood, but by sprinkling the al
tar with a little lachrymal fluid
Love, the seventh heaven in a
glance, a whirlwind in a sigh"
seizes upon the old and young alike.
1t makes an old bach twist his eyes
in a thousand different shapes, and
imagine that he is the sine qua
non(?). 1t makes an old maid think
that things and men are not what
they ought to be-helpmeets. Mr..
R. D. A. is all o. K. Go it, boys,
if you did steal a march on US.
"Stolen waters are sweet, and bread
eaten in secret is pleasant"
"KiIl mans family and he may brook it,
But keep your hand out Of his breaches
pocket"
if you wish him to love his neigh
Dor as he does himself. The pecu-
mary dearth and the depreciation
of property have thrown damper
over business enterprises, invest
ments and improvements of every
character. Everybody is trying to
earn an honest livelihood by dint of
hard, labor and upon as economical
a style as possible. The time is ap
preaching when bills must be paid,
settlements made, debts adjusted,
and there is no telling the amount
of quarreling and pickering that will
ensue. The farmers are losing no
time in gathering their cotton, in
order to receive the first price. Mr..
Jno. A. is doing a lively business
j. ginning. Mr.. Duff A. IS heading
the list of wheat sewers. f. M.
Bass passes through here with one
Mr.. Crawford, who says he can beat
even the sheriff himself playing
seven up. Mr.. VIM. Hopkins, who
has been attending to his fathers
business for some weeks past, has
returned to his home since the ar
rival of his father from West Ten
nessee. We understand that Mr..
Jas. Hamilton expects to go to
West Tennessee this fall or winter
to take charge of an express office.
Mr.. Alonzo Bass, alias Paregoric,
pays us a flying visit now and then.
Well, we won't say what for, but we
know a thing or two. Misses .Des-
die Lancaster and Lula Bramlett are
relatives and acquaintance
here. We are always glad to wei
come such rays of suns shine. The
season for pulling chicken bones is
about over, and our pastor is pack
ing his clothes to go to Conference.
Mrs. Jane Tarpley, whose illness
we failed to report in our last letter,
is very low. There is but little
hope of her recovery Mrs Street
and Mrs. Ingram are also on the
sick list. With these exceptions,
health, ife's precious boon, is en-
oyed by all. w. d. A. has declined
being a disciple of Aesculapius.
And it came to pass that he rolled
MS pants above his knees and strap
ped his shoes on his back and hur-
RED away at the time when the owl
10th holla his whoo-whooo, whoo-
4 you, to see his dulcina and told
her that she must run, and she said
she could not run, and jumped upon
the horse rack, but that wouldn't
ride worth q cent. At last she con
GUIDED that she could run, and so
hey ran down to Squire Tarpley's
and Mr.. Sam Hopkins was united
N the holy bonds of matrimony to
Miss Docia Aymett. May their
voyage DER IIfe's tempestuous sea
De one of calmness and quietness.
May no blight sap the fountain
hat is so replete with happiness.
May propitious heaven smile on this
youthful couple and crown their
every effort with success, and at last
watt them into the haven of rest.

mist, will entel tain the Leather
