Here is what the Atlanta (Ga.) C0nst;t,l-
ton says On the subject OF round dances:
| "a young man watched the waltzes at o
| certain dancing school fC: some time last
! night, and then asked somebody to tell him
why 1t was that the young ladies who sub
! mitted to huggng in public would not per-
NIT 1t in private. whereupon bright fellow
remarked that that had not been his expe-
rience." Food for thought
| The announcement made last week that
there would be an excursion from Green.
| vile to Cincinnati on the occasion of the
meeting of the National Democratic Con-
vention for sl6 was. we have been in
! formed. o mistake. The excursion is from
Atlanta, Ga, and not from Greenville.
| The announcement was made on informa-
ton received from a private letter from o
gentleman of the last named city, and
which nc had every reason 10 believe nas
entirely trustworthy. We propose by ous
next issue to have all the particulars OF the
matter that can possibly be obtained, which
will be given the public through our col

Mr.. J. s. Murray, Jr.. who has been en-
gagged since September last as principal of .
| iourishing school at West Springs, Union
County, is now at home, where he will
remain for some time. He graduated
in Furman University two years ago with
the degree o. A. NJ. the highest degree the
University could confer, and has since been
applying himself assiduously to tho study
Of the languages, and by dint Of energy and
perseverance, strengthened by laudable
| ambition, has famiiarized himself with
| nine distinct languages besides that of his
| mother tongue. It is not often that we find
young man in this day and generation
who places as high an estimate on cduca-
tion as does MT. Murray. and who Is will
ing to make every other object subserve this
end.
The article in our last issue on the SUBJ
ject of "Means' Grass" from the pen of an
esteemed correspondent, seems to have at
tracted considerable attention. and we are
| right glad .nat it has. From specimens Of
tae grass left in our Office, we are inclined
to think It would be found very valuable
| by our farmers as forage. ,snitable especial
| iy for feeding to stock in q green state. It
will grow and flourish on ordinary land,
| and can be cut down three or. four times in
enc season, and, as for cultivation, it re-
quires nothing but the sowing. o r cor
respondent justly cautions his brother far
mers about devoting any considerable
| amount of land to its cultivation, as 1t is
likely to mcnopolize in future the ground
on which it is sown. But with proper eau
ton we see no reason why every farmer
| might not devote at least from half an
acre to an acre OF ground to Its cultivation
without allowing it to spread to other por-
! tions Of the farm.
