Farmers are beginning to plant
corn IN earnest, but we fear they
are ahead Of the season. Every
thing indicates that they are work
lug with a vim characteristic OF
those who are possessed with 4
spirit of enterprise Everybody
seems To be engaged at some bust
n SIS or other, and it is IA notable
fact that there are fewer loafers in
this community than was ever
known before. One reason for this
is that such people find no one To
while away the time with, and the
consequence is that they have gone
to business. The time has come L D
in the history of this country when
vagrancy cam, t be permitted and
idlers must cease to exist as "A clas
Labor seems to be the order OF the
day, and those who do not SOW can
lot reap. Wheat is looking better
and the people generally are coming
to the conclusion that the yield will
be larger than was anticipated. We
hope that they will realize their ex
pectations fully. There will b.
more cotton planted here this year
than last Advocates of the hog
and hominy theory are thinking OF
enlisting under the banner of king
cotton. Last years experience
clearly teaches that there is no clear
money in fattenlng Dorkers for mar

people will engage in that line Of
business the coming season.
Messrs. A. w. and j. NJ. Parker
made trip to Maury county few
days ago in search OF horse stolen
from the stable of the former some
time since, but the search was fruit
less. Attempts have since Deen
made for his recovery, all of which
have failed. Such characters as
horse thieves should be hunted
down by the authorities and pun
ished severely.
Rev. L. ii. Woodward is visiting
his father in Lincoln, while his
wife is in attendance upon her ia
ther in Wayne county, whose health
was reported to be in a critical con
dItion, but we hope that he will be
nursed back to health again.
Mr.. j. p. Woodward is preparing
lumber for the Northern market.
Success to him. j. NJ. Parker has
bought a new belt for his mill, and
he will whistle again in a few days.
Mr.. d. p. Carter of Lynnville was
in our burg a few days ago, smiling
as blandly as in days of yore. We
greet all such visitors with hearty
welcome. Great is the wonder thai
men with such a bundle of manli'
ness. grace, wit and humor do not
sip the sweets from matrimonial
| flowers.
Young America occupies a very
prominent position in society her,
of late days. Single men of ma

eyes Of the "old man" are sternly
fixed upon him, and he cannot es

They think no more of asking a
young miss to indulge in a dish OF
chat than an old maid would of
putting her hair. 1t is astonishing
to what extent he can carry on his
acts of politeness or his deeds OF
gallantry. To remedy this growing
inclination TO depart from the way
they should have gone, would
suggest the propriety of lecture
every Sunday morning just before
church time. Should that fail,
