became almost, to use his expression, "too

themselves on bench, while the pale moon

hour Of distress, the tear started, but it had
been so long SINCE tear had travelled down
his cheek, and having no map, lost Its way
and went stealing down his nose, and was

Mr.. EDIroR-The anniversary of the
of the storm has past and who knows but
that the tornado of the 18th of April, 1879,
was a blessing instead of a scourge to this
community.
-Springtime in all its loveliness is here
and the plowman whistle and merry song are
heard on every hand.
The Leath College has commenced its first
session with very fatterIng show of sue
cess. Those gentlemen we hope will be sus-
tanned in the noble work they have under
taken. With such workers as they in the
schoolroom and the sympathy and support
Of our worthy Superintendent, W. r. Hall,
we look forward to the not far distant day
when We will favorably compare with any
community in education and Intelligence
We are glad to see that Max O'RiIey has
again taken up his pen for the edifcation of
your many readers. But poor Max like a
great many other public servants Is over
worked and under-paid, so fear his duties
are so arduous that he will nave but little
time to devote to journalistic writing.
The navigation of Hatchie River and the
Bridge question have assumed the shape of a
formidable issue for our people to settle, for
since our last Quarterly Court 1 have con-
versed with a great many citizens and re-
ceived several communications on the sub
ject and from all l can learn the people are
very much dissatisfied with the action of the
court IN the matter. They say how can the
people of Hardeman ask the Legislature to
declare this river navigable when we through
our Quarterly Court place formidable OBJ
struclions in the river. So it is. The peti. son
1 presented to the court should have been
needed but it was encountered with a kind
of a substitute in the shape of an amend
ment, and received the amendment with a
considerable degree of jealousy, which will
be seen from an order I drew and offered to
the court, that the committee be ordered to
build bridge across Hatchie, and the
Bolivar & jackson Road be ordered to have
built Il drawbridge, but this order was
overruiad by the chairman as being out of
order Now I hope the gentlemen of that
committee will respect a large number of
our citizens, AM they are not limited nor in
structed in the Building, they will still heed
my order and build a drawbridge if they
erect any at the present
The health of our community IS good, so
much SO, that our II. DIS. are preparing to
make their living out of old an, Their
Earth.
We are sorry to heax that crime is so rife
