Times have been more quiet tins win

people have not had many gatherings;
another reason. perhaps. is that the

We think, Mr.. Editor. most of the tax
payers OF this part OF the township are
in favor OF compromising the township
bonds. 1t is, no doubt. far better to dis
pose of them, once for all, at low rate
than to keep them IN litigation, and
maybe have the whole amount. with
costs, to pay.
Mr.. Editor. please keep US posted in the
matter of the contest case ofJudge Hord.
Our people are much Interested in it. The
voters of the county elected HIM by a
large majority. and we think they ought
to see him in the office. Had Judge
Cannon any respect Tor the voice o.
the people who gave him an office fol
six years. he would either have run f'1

For the Intelligencer.
Receive not as heaven the clouds piled above
thee,
But try thine own pinions In upward aiEht;
Let not thy doubts nor thy fears ever move thee
But trust to thine own endurance and might
Let the fire of thine own heart be burning,
Prsve thou thy faith from day to day.
And ever the gross and the sensual spurning.
Speed thee ever on thy conquering way.
Whstever thy fault conceal 1t never;
Hide 1t not, whatever 1t be
BY coward silence. or base endesvor,
But let thy confession be full and free.
Then. though thy funeral pyre be bright.
And thou a captive on 1t bound.
Its fiery tong aes shall sink In night,
Suhduing waters shall abound.

PLEASANT GROVE.


a week, freighted with Interesting and |
valuable news from all parts Of the
country, and no column is more inter-
esting than the one containing the coun.
ty correspondence.
We had the pleasure recently of wit
Messing most interesting contest in
spelling between the Pleasant Grove
school. taught by Mr.. John Bryant. and
the McNeal school, taught by Mr.. I.
W. Carmichael. The two schools met
at an early hour at night, the house being
crowded with teachers, pupils and spec
tators. The pupils OF both schools were
seated together. and Misses Alice Berry
and Alice Dennis and Mr.. Geo. S. Wal
lace were chosen as referees. The rules
of the spelling were then read by Mr..
Carmichael. and at half-past seven the
contest began. For some time the two
schools stood almost even. but at iast
Mr.. Carmichael's began to wane, and
at ten o'clock his last pupil missed ,leav-
ing seven Of Mr.. Bryant's pupils on the
floor. The seven were, Misses Ruth
Grooms, Lucy Wallace. Bessie Hill,
Amanda Kesterson. Messrs. Benton
Grooms, Samuel Hill and Thomas kss
terson. The last pupil to miss in Mr.
Carmichael's school was Miss Lizzie
Lockhart. Both schools deserve muct
credit, not only for good spelling, bu
Tor good behavior and attention daring
the exercises. Much praise is due th'
teachers. MIR. Bryant IS a young maj
OF pleasant disposition, promising char
acter, and bids fair to become an excel
teacher. He is making Pleasant Grow
school more interesting than 1t has bee
for years. So far he has conducted
