Sardis has a courthouse which
is not surpassed by any in the
State, and its five churches are an
honor to any town.
We cannot fail to mention the
schools, both male and female.
with their many scholars and corps
Of able teachers. May the citizens
appreciate the advantages Of these
institutions and stand by them, and
endeavor to make them the pride
not only of the town, but Of the
State. We can also boast Of our
eminent lawyers, physicians and
ministers. Our town is illumina-
ted by one Of the brightest Of
STARS which shines week after
week, and beams and glows with
literary light, and often with its
poetic fire or illusions emits a
blaze of beauty and delight. We
have a magnificent theatre build
ing with Greenewalds and hand
some Halls also a fine hotel. Al
though we are living in times OF
peace our city is well fortified with
strong Walls and Ilightowcrs with
Banks near, and with money for
emergencies. But, to the credit o.
our city, be ii said, neither crime
nor intemperance prevails to any
extent. In religious scntimcu,
and social feeling, we are the peer
Of any city.
Our artisans are worthy ofnotc
such as Millers, l'aylors, Buffers.
Minors skilltul and successful.
Our poets are Of remown, Thomp-
son, Young and Ryan. We are
not wanting in statesmen, Adams,
Buchanan. and we once had a
notable Franklin.
The city is well supplied with
an abundance Of pure Rainwster,
good Wells and fine Sellers.
Wood is plentiful, still we have q
Coleman.
Although ii is an inland town,
we have Sees, and once there was
a River hard by, but, strange to
say, no trace Of it can now be seen,
, Part Of our city is sown in Small
!. Fields OF Rice. "Coons" arc
"'possamS" abound, and we hav,
