Indiana, give decidedly cheerful view
of the grain prospects for the coming
season. The acreage of wheat, oats and
corn is largely increased over last year,
and notwithstanding the fact that
spring crops are generally retarded by
the lateness of the season, there is
abund ant reason for encouragement.
The prospect is reported excellent for
all fruits except peaches.

Religious Items.

The Church Conference at the
Methodist church last Sunday
night, though not as well attended
as it might have been was very en-
touraging. The reports showed
that the work of the Church has
for the past four months been prac
teal in its character. The church
has paid for various purposes since
the last annual conference $1,3Sl.
1t is very important that another
conference be held soon. The pas
tor has appointed one for Sunday
night, July 20, and urges all who
feel an interest in the welfare of the
church to be present.

Mrs. Mollie Butler, wife Of our
friend Sam w. Butler, Esq'r, and
sister To DIR. J. II. Keeling, died a.
the family residence ON Riley Hin,
% miles east Of Pulaski, at day
light yesterday morning. She was
a most loveable character, an aifcc-

possessed of those rare qualities and
attachments of head and heart which
beautify and adorn the character
and life of n true good woman.

Pleasant Valley.

Our farmers, owing to favorable
weather, were ready for harvesting
their wheat, most of which has been
put up in good condition. The
grain is good but the yield will be
light we think.
The schools of Mrs. Mckenzie
and Miss Inez Alternately have
closed. The attendance during the
session small. Cause-hard times.
Perhaps few neighborhoods have
more school material. Mrs. Denty,
Misses Mary, Fannie and Matte
Wilkerson and Messrs. Freeman
and. Mcknight attended the Com
mencement at Martin College. They
speak in high terms of what they
saw and heard. The faculty is
certainly a good one, and has done
successful work. We hope to see
this school rank with the best of
the land and receive the generous
support of this and adjoining coun-
ties. May hosts of young ladies be
so trained in this school in science
and literary and domestic arts as to
eXtort encomiums even from the
lastidious Mr.. Duncan and the
critical DR.. Barbee. Miss Florence
Irvine, one Of the graduates of Mar
tin College, has many friends here,
having attended this school several
sessions and being the daughter of
a former much beloved pastor. May
she be as useful in her sphere as
her noble father in his. Mrs. Craig
and Miss Belle McKimmin drove
out here Saturday to enjoy the qui-
ct rural scenery. Mrs. G. is at
tached to her old place and her
friends are always glad to see her
back here. The clever and viva
cious Miss Lizzie Peden is visiting
the family of Col. Wilkerson. Mrs.
CAN'T and her mother have been
here to look at the Miller place
which Mr.. CAN'T bought and to
which he expects TO move next year.
Mr.. Jack Lanier is very sick, and
cannot live much longer. May his
last moments be cheered by the
hope of future bliss.
An effort is being made TO organ

Mr.. EDIToR:-Wbile reclining

shade trees, whilst ever and anon
stray sunbeam comes stealing down
from the blue June sky, down thro'
the luxuriant foliage, shedding n
halo of warmth and light around
thine humble servant, and while
mine eyes take in with languor the
beautiful scenery around, they sud
denly rest upon busy harvesters
away over in the many, many large
fields which surround our town,
where Prof. j. p. Abernathy's new
reaper is playing havoc with the
wheat. IT'S then, and not till then,
that my memory, lulled almost TO
forgetfulness, turns TO thee and tC
the subject of this epistle, which is
our worthy pedagogue.
Mr.. Editor, we wish you could
have been present at the examina
ton and closing exercises OF Prof

closed. l must candidly admit tina

go anywhere and never see anything
will remember that band forever in
our prayers. But permit me to say
right here that we cherish q strong
er feeling, a more fervent love for
your doctor, the big man with the
big fiddle, who brought tears 10 the
eyes of the whole audience by his
pathetic recital Of "Mary's Little
Lamb" &c. May his days never
grow shorter, and may the tendrils
OF some fair ones affections twiLe

Ifyou will pardon this depression
we would here beg with all our

once more and enliven US with that
lecture on behavior in church. We
fell in love with him during confer
eLce. Mr.. Editor, we would be glad
could you come out and rusticatc
awhile with us this summer. We

Considerable feeling was mani
tested here when the sad intelli
gence Of ]. Parker's untimely end
reached us, He had been associa-
ted with this community-from child
hood. His associations with us
were of the happiest character and
won for him a high position in our
midst. His bright a2d sparkling
wit, peculiar expressions and genial
nature will always give him a place
IN our memory. While we depre-
cate the deed we would suffer his
remains to rest in peace and extend
our sincere sympathies to his be
reaved relatives and friends. A
large concourse of friends collc.cted

D. p. Vaughan is confined to his
room by bilious fever, but we hope
to see him out again soon. Mr.. q.
G. Vaughan was dashing IN his
buggy towards Pulaski last Satur
day evening with a view of bowling
at Cupid's shrine, and basking in
his dulcina's genial presence. We
opine that a few more drives in that
direction and then the buggy will he
driven homeward laden with its
precious cargo, TO send bright rays
of light and love cleaning along
his pathway. May his efforts in
that direction be crowned with emf
nent success. Mr.. Dock Anderson
and his mother of Puiaski are visit
ing relatives in this section now,
the latter will remain torso Time,
and we hope her stay will be pleas
ant. The quarterly conference was
rather slim last Saturday,on about
one fourth OF the members beng in
attendance. The meager attend
ance of the members was owing to
harvest. The financial matters
we're meagre owing to the scarcity
of money, but was very well con-
sidering the hard times. The ser
vices on Sunday were very impress
sive. The house was crowded TO
its almost capacity. A storm of
wind and rain came up during the
services, but it passed OF, quiet
was restored and the services pro
ceeded without further hindrauce.
The sermon was pointed and deliv-
cred in an elegant and impressive
style. We hope the financial condi-
ton will improve SO that by the
next quarter we can report the cir
cult out of debt. Providence has
favored us with a good wheat crop
and the people should show their
appreciation by contributions TO
Church enterprises. KULLY.

We had delicious cucumbers for
dinner the other day. We've been
in a double-bow knot four days.
We thought they were cucumbers,
but they must have been a saw mill
under full steam, or a runaway team
probably took our mouth for liv
cry stable door. If 1t was Qcumber
the tail of the Q swelled and burst
ed, and felt like chimney tumbling
down in our stomach. We were
about to take the contract to eat
the persimmon crop of Maury and
the blackberry crop of Lawrence,
but this has about worn out the
running gear and loosened the box
ing of our grub-keg. Before we
tackled them the boys used to play
marbles in our shadow, but now we
can't cast a respectable shoe string.
We are better now, paregorically
speaking.

The finest barbecue and fish-fry
we ever saw or tasted was served up
to some thirty gents below Hick' s
bluff last Saturday. There was a
whole sheep, abundance of fish, a
few squirrels, several frogs, and a
world of pepper. In fact, they had
a pepper stew seasoned with fish,
etc., whereof if man eat he would
soon be in the happy land of Cay
enne. 1t reminded Mr.. Patteson of
yarn. An impecunious fellow
about to starve adopted the last re-
sort for something to eat and
prayed: 90 Lord, send bushel of
meal, and a bushel of meat, and a
bushel of -four, and bushel of salt,
and a bushel of Eaters, and a bushel
of lard, and a bushel Of pepper-O
hell! that's too much pepper =

on the south by bloodthirsty re

the night in writing an apology and
in framing funeral tribute to the
memory of the doomed servant, and
when day came he fastened uptown

ments of torture, and returning he
called the servant to his room,
locked the door and prayed for it,
strapped 1t down and commenced

Since our Grand Lodge met
there has been a general "bracing

A Mysterious Death.

Mr.. A. S. Cole, good citizen of
Marcella Falls, was found dead
near that place on Sunday, 8th
inst. He left home at o'clock
that morning and told his family
that he was going to Mr.. Clark's, a
neighbor, and would return by
twelve or sooner, but no alarm was
felt About 5 O'Clock his dead
body was accidentally discovered
in secluded out of the way place
between two roads and about $50
yards from the Sallie Hendrix
house. 1t is a mystery now he
reached the secluded place and
there are other strange circumstan-
ces connected with his strange
death, but there was no proof, no
evidence of violence except the dis =
arrangement of his clothing. and
the jury OF inquest decided that
he came to his death by aplo
plexy. He was a devoted and af-
fectionate husband and father, and
was honored and loved by all who
knew him. He possessed the high
est social qualities and was very
popular with all classes. He was a

This is commencement week at Mar
tin Female College. Miss Florence Ir-
vine, of Maury, is Salutatorian. She
was entitled to be Valedictorian, but
drew for it and lost. She is splendid
girl Columbia Herald.
There is Misrepresentation in
this, though not Intentional we be-
lieve, calculated to make one believe
or infer that Miss Irvine had been
cheated or forced to surrender an
honorable right. Each of the nine
young ladies was entitled to be Vale
dictoTian. by reason of merit, but
neither one had any special right,
and no lots were drawn. The
young ladies voted for ValedictorI-
an and Salutatorian in a fair way,
and Miss Irvine was elected Saluta
torian on first ballot. There was a
tie for the other and upon second
ballot Miss Alternately was elected.
Martin College and its faculty are
incapable of such meanness as here
insinuated. Miss Irvine is indeed
splendid young lady and would
have been entitled if elected. She
knows nothing of the way in which
the Herald got it's misin formation.
