Great souls hold firmly to heaven aud let

He who has created us with thirst after

that thirst
Never promise anything unless you are
quite sure you can give what you say.
Certain sermons are more calculated to
weaken faith than to render men believers.
Only whst we have wrought into our char

There is no right faith in believing what
is true unless we believe it because it Is true.
Venture not to the utmost bounds of even
lawful pleasures the limits of good and evil
join.
If you wish to have good house to live In
when you are old, you must lay brick every
day.
No one can 0ver-estimate his own weakness,

posed.

The School Money.

Judge Carter went to Nash
vile last week in pursuance to
an order of the County Court, to
investigate and report the condi-
ton Of the back school fund.
said to be in the treasury of the
State, lie learned while there
that a mandamus suit had been
instituted in the Circuit Court at
Nashville in behalf of the trus-
tee Of Roane county and some
holders of school warrants, to
compel Comptroller Gaines to
apportion the money to the coun-
ties. There was a reference had
and the Clerk has filed a report
from the proof on record show
ing about $203,700 of school
money that former Comptrollers
have failed to apportion to the
different counties. The report
has not been confirmed, but if
sustained it is said Comptroller
Gaines will appeal to the SUI
preme Court. Compt. G. says
if the suit now pending is deci-
ded against him, he will pay out
the money without requiring
each county to bring a manda-
mus suit.
Compt. Gaines, We know, is a
most excellent officer, but we do
not see the necessity Of his car
rying this suit to the Supreme
Court, because the decree of the
Circuit Court in the mandamus
case woald be a sufficient protec-
ton to him in paying out the
funds; and now is surely the
time that the children of the poor
men Of the country need the mo-
ney.

The Railroad.

1t will be remembered that
Major Sykes on yesterday COM
menced the canvass for subscrip-
tons to build the railroad from
Fayetteville TO Petersburg. At
tcntion is called to the list of ap-
pointments in another column.
The Importance Of this enterprise
cannot be over-estimated by the
people of this county. We re-
peat: GO out and hear Major
Sykes and give as liberal suL-
scription as your means will al
low. If each citizen will do his
part, the road can be built with
out expressing any. The people
will not feel it, and the road in a
short time will pay back the mo-
ney expended in its construction.
The proposition is self-eyidcnt
and addresses itself directly to
the interests of all.
