Our Regular Correspondence,
We have had more dysentery this sum-
mer than for number Of years. Whole
families have been stricken with it. Last
week Thomas NJ. Morrison buried two
childrcn-Samuel and Ellis-in one grave.
It is sad thing to lay two children in ono
grave at the same time, and Mr.. Morrison
and his family haye the deepest sympathy
of the community. At the time Of tho
funeral, Mr.. Morrison and five Of his chill
dren were quite poorly, three Of them b.
ing unable to attend the funerals.
Derelict Assessor.
The Republican party il diseased, not
only in its great trunk and roots, but
through every branch, even out into tho
very quivering little leaves. From presi-
sap moves through the whole. We have q
little trembling leaf down here ON our Dru-
| more branch Of the afOre- mentioned tree,
called the assessor. Of this leaf, as leaf,
'Drumore hath naught to say, but Of
| this poor little leaf as an assessor, he has
something to say. Oh! if our Republican
friends would only do the "square thing"
or if they chance not to know what that il,
would do what We Democrats tell them is
right and proper, all this worry and trouble
we have with them could be avoided and
all the unpleasant, unfriendly things We
l insignificant rural appendages to the press
have to say could be left unsaid. It is the
one who commits the misdemeanOr, not
the one who records it, that deserves the
blame, remember.
! Our registry of voters closes Oi. the Sec
Ond of September, and We generally sup
pose that no more registrations are made
after that date, but if any one is 50 curl
Ous as to look at our resistry-if he can
find it-he will SEQ enrolled among the last
entries the name Of one young man-there
may be dozen such-that became of age
a few days after the second of September.
And if his curiosity will carry him far
enough to examine the taxassessments in
the hands of our collector, he will find
that there are Republicans assessed twen-
ty-five cents tax, and Democrats, in pre-
cisely the same circumstances, assessed
fifty cents. Strange it is that our cross
road politicians dom. know that it is policy
to act honestly.
Republican Pole Raising.
Our Republican neighbOrs in Fulton,
expect to raise q pole at Wakefield next
Saturday evening. It will be great meet
ing, no dOubt-fOr the whisky distillers,-
and will likely make Democrat out of one
of their young Republicans, nurtured on
their faith, rs their last meeting did.
Let the good work 90 on. IL they desire
q reporter for the occasion, "DrumOre"
is "tO let.''
Colored Camp Meeting.
The darleys are having u ten-days' camp
at Arcadia, principally for the purpose of
raising money to finish their church at
that place. So many hucksters gather in
and such bad order is allowed, and 50
many hen-rOOsts are disturbed in their
midnight quietude, that some Of the
whites all Republicans-in the Arcadian
community have been talking strongly Of
reporting the devotional meetings Of their
"colored friends " to use campaign ex-
pressiOn-as nuisance. But the meet
ing can reach peaceful end, for it is too
near the election for the FultOnites to
run the risk of losing few negro votes by
opposing negro wishes.
/ Sunday School Celebration.
Last Saturday was the "happy day"
for the Sunday school children, it being
the occasion of their annual celebration,
which was held at Chestnut Level under
the management Of Rev. John Galbreath
and his estimablc wife. The Sunday
schools connected with Chestnut Level
church grow more fOurishing and interest
ing every year. To hear and partake in the
service of the morning 50 many were in at
tendance that every seat in the church
was occupied. After prayer by the Rev.
r. Lorenzo Clark and singing, Rev. Gal
breath reviewed the scholars in the shorter
catechism, and the long, twisted answers
| were given to the questions with 4 readi-
ness that clearly showed that the Presby-
terians intend their children to be fully in
structed in the Presbyterian faith
and that they have efficient teachers who
| work hard and arc rewarded by sue
cess. Then came Il review of
the infant class, which is the
special charge of Mrs. Galbreath, and
it was really pleasant to listen to the
childish voices, full Of little lisps, as they
answered the question distinctly and
fully. Then an address to the children
by Rev. Clark, in which he praised them
for their thoroughness rs pupils, and
pleasantly told them that that was not the
time for long talks, but for the emptying
of the deep baskets.
Rev. Galbreath followed with short
address in the course of which he gave an
account of the clildrcn's home missions of
the church how they must meet once 4
month pay five cents dues. which they
are obliged, according to their cOnstitu-
tiOn, to earn themselves how they open the
meetings by prayer and singing, and
pass the time Of meeting in the manu-
facturc Of countless nameless little
things o: beauty and use, which
! were to be sold that day from a
stand conducted by officers of the mission,
and how the proceeds were to 60 into tho
treasury of the mission, and thence out
west to pay tho tuition 0: u little Indian
girl, whom these little white girls Of
Chestnut Level church arc supporting at
school. Then came dismission, and the
children went to play and the mothers,
sisters and wives, to getting dinner and
the dinner was a perfect success. We will
turn our mothers, sisters and wives out
against the Unions mothers, sisters and
wives, for dinner producers.
