ifwe could teach neighbor Jones to do
,l,,to neighbor Smith as he would have
,leighbor Smith do unto him, then tho
, law as it stands would prove all that
was claimed forit. But in case of u
failure to graduate them III this golden
rule, we will have to call OH our fath-
ers, "the lawmakers" to try again.
Probably by making "Cuff" bear q
little penalty, the object Of the law
would be more easily reached. Touch
him as well as the employer, and he
may stick moro closely to his contracts.
The farmers are making strenuous
efforts in their arrangements on the
farm this year, hoping to wipe out Of
existence the results of the disastrous
year just past. But venture to say
that this particular vicinity will re-
member for some time the effects of
tie failure Of 1880. They start this
present crop under so many disadvan-
tages that it is hard to tell which is
dreaded the most, unless it be that Of
"roughncss" for stock. believe that
four tour-horse teams could with worry
little trouble, ut one pull, move all tho
roughness (cxcept hay that has been
imported within her limits. The
scarcity of corn is all item also. The
natural consequences fall this search
ty will be many poor horses and
mules. Poor, poor indeed arc the
chances for tho horse this year. Mr..
w. L. Rabb lost horse few DAYS
ago from an ovcrdraught Of water,
and Mr.. j. @. Morris mule. We
were all counting OH our oats coming
to our relief in the middle or last Of
May. But, alasl We will have to cal
culate again, for the oats crop seems
tied to mother earth still. Grain gen
orally seems to be doing nothing.
We have in this new township two
large schools, one a graded white
school, which is moving along finely.
The Principal, Mr.. Scott, is an intelli-
gcnt gentleman and scholar, good dis
ciplinarian, and one calculated to ad-
vance the educational interests Of this
ncighborhood. Success to him and
his school. The other is u colored
school under the supervision of a.
staunch, straigltout Democrat. Now
you see that Number Fifteen, not like
tho "Dark Corner" has taken things
into her own hands, and has put
Democrats in the places of trust. And
III venture to say that you wont hear
OF the closing Of the session of any
school in Fifteen with the grand finale
"llang jeff Davis on Il limb"
In this progressive age it really
seems that even the wee-wec folks are
keeping apacn with the times. The
children Of Mr.. SCOTS school had an
April-fOol's party over here Oh Friday
night the lst. Soon after dark you
could see the little folks vending their
way to the school room with escorts
from tho siz' Of Tom Thumb to q six
footcr. at half past seven the school
bell gave notice that things were ready
for work. In making their appoint
ments to take charge Of the different
parts OF the affair, they were more cX-
pcditious in selecting their officials,
than the Republican Senate has been III
getting to work. From their sclcc-
tions it seemed that they believed in
II wing themselves well represented by
persons of size. Their postmaster
was that six-toot-two-inch gentleman.
Coiohcl rom -, who used to move
2lo on Il beam. His assistant could
not boast Of six and two, was Of fair
round proportions, us were also the
two next most prominent persOnagcs
OF the party. We'll it was all April
fools party, SO it would not be amiss
to say that fooled were many older
ones who attended for iollity among
themselves. For the little ones cap
turcd the fort early in the evening and
held it to the last. At tho close Miss
Lizzie -- returned tho thanks of
the school TO the past officials for the
prompt discharge of their duty. The
whole thing passed off with great sue
cess. NJ
we regret that the above was mis-
laid, and could not appear in our last
issue.-EDs.
