Lost Child.

Nothing 50 excites and dstresses n com
muuity in the country, as the news that II
nrighbor has lost child. Death IL GER

teachings Of religion and the absence of
suspense. But the thought of a little child
craled from fear, wandering helpless and
alone though the wild woods l. dreadful.
All are linked together in ~ mpathy for the
distressed parents. All turn out to search,
and there il no feeling like the relief that
CONES with know ledge that the Child is
found. ca the other hand, how fearful
the failure.

The last issue of the Farmerville Gazette
contains an article sustaining the position
of its editor in reference TO certain rulings
Of Judge Graham which he had character
lied as arbitrary aud unjust. We noticed
the position Of Judge Trimble in our paper
and suppose this notice called forth the
article in the last issue of the Gazette.
Says the editor of the Gazette, Eve have
seldom found the friends of any inan TAX
ing issue with him and the temporary ed-
| tor of the Guardian is acting only in &C
! cord with our experience II the exper-
fence of the editor of the Gazette is similar
To that of most other mon, il might he ex-
tended in its application to the present
case, and we will add, what we believe the
editor of the Gazette could have added
had he been disposed 10 give Us the entire
benefit Of his experience, that we have
seldom known the enemies and rivals Of
any man TO loos. an opportunity Of taking
issue with him.
The editor of the Gazette gives two rca-
sons Why the ruling Of Judge Graham was
arbitrary and unjust in refusing u contiuu-
ance in the case referred To-. We will no
ticc his reasons, first under the di>,rc-
tiouary power he possessed II it was
matter in the discretion Of the court, il
was certainly question which the Judge
must determine for himself and that discrr-
ton might refuse ~ well is grant the
continuance, otherwise il could not Toe n
question of discretion. The second reason
given by the editor of Gazette lis because
legal preccdrnts of higher court controll-
ed him This position is inconsistent
10y legal prcccdcnts Of ahlghcr court then
n j. not matter ot discretion with him,
bui he is legally bound hy those prccc-
dents. fiut the rulings of the supreme
Court as We understand them establish no
unrclcntiuG rules ou the subject, but leave
the matter where the Code Of Practice
places it, ia the discretion of the Court.
We understand that Judge Graham did
continue several cases in which Judge
Trlmhlc was counsel, on the ground "t his
sickness and where there was no upvusi-
ton, and ON the principle If the Gazette
Judsr Graham might he quoted a. prrce-
dent against his rUllu. in the case in which
be- rrig~"d a continuance. Now since the

DEAR FRIENDs-Not NO many years.ago, when
was young and charming and the highways
of the Capital City were in state of adheav-
isness, one day about midnight, there appeared
to me a well.defncd aprarition: Said sub.
stance being enclosed In homogeneous night
mare. AS well az | can remember, this ghostA
glare presented itself in the shape of streams
OF golden letters footing about in space, with
the bright blue sky as a background Now aud
then lightning flashes wOnld dart In between
these Ango-Saxon representatives aud would
seemingly sweep them out of sight-only to
leave them more distinct aud more fascinating
than ever. these two words: within e, =
Wares also remember seeing an excited
populaCe-say cool hundred th0usand-with
upiitted eyes-bewldered at this heavenly dis.
play and eagerly debating its influence on those
most concerned. Need tell you of the tireside
discussion it brought into piay-innocently and
indirect! Said one: '"At WIrTING's are new
arrivals. They have the best Mince Meat,
Cranberries and New Flour, fresh supplies of
each. oh, that's nothing!' replies another
II can testify that they havs the best Five
Cent Cigars N the city And the walls seemed
to echo-"Bny WrTyNG's Wares" And also
remember that the newspapers of that period
seemed to vie with each other in setting forth
the merits OF WRITINGS Wares.
Ito be continuei.}

elevated 'Uncle Harry Hyams," who.
on last Saturday, marched down as far

that marks the corner of the Sumter

tied. Uncle Harry Crowded at his APP
pointment, AID in all modesty advanced
his inability to make decent report to
the Press Association st the coming
February reunion, We certainly as
solve Bro. McCranie of committing any
but IN error of the heart in appointing
Uncle Harry-''the Historian as any
ones judgment would prompt the selec-
ton for that office OF the man who can
tell more earnestly, and compose more
readily, frst-class story than any other
of the brotherhood in this or the others
OF the United States. The excuses adj
ysnced by our Historian euveloped our
mind with the belief that he would make
a long one very short on the anticipated
occasion to which we have referred.

The N. 0. Pacific Co., 50 we learn
from dispatch received by Mr. Fred.
ID. Tunnard from Mr.. VIM. Garig, have
purchased the Donaldsonyille branch of
the Morgan Railroad, an act which
settles the question of the location of
the line OF the N. o. Pacific. The line
Will, OF course, be run on the West side
of the Mississippi. 1t remains TO be
seen, however, whether the company
will decide to leave Baton Rouge to the
right, or ascend the left bank of the
river as far up as this city ere it takes
its Northwesterly course to Shreveport.
If they fail to do the latter, which is
the only course that can be pursued in
the interest of the road, Baton Rouge
must then seek communication with the
outer world by way of Pontchatoula
and the Jackson Railroad. In further
auce of the last idea, our citizens should
communicate at once with the directors
of the Chicago, st. Louis and N w Or

pardons of Mr.. Dawes for mentioning
the fact that be was warmly endorsed in
