change to the golden SheayeS OF tn
yellow harvest that will yield thei
superabundance and make thu
hearts of our farmers happy. The
are at present up to their iii in bust
ness speeding the sowing, the pillow
ing, hoeing, to hasten the reaping
and the moving.
As the pillow goes round
You can hear the sound,
Borne upon the breezes,
Of the farmers shout,
In the air ring out,
With wos and haws and gee-ses'
The cattle, hog and grain mar
kets are still on a boom and al
commodities find buyers at good
prices. Mr.. Tom Kennedy has
been engaging cattle here for the
July market and Mr.. Dryer has
about so head of Alabama Jerseys
that will soon be in a condition to
furnish juicy steak for the appe-
tites of the most voracious and fas-
tidious epicures. DR.. w. T. Perry
continues to do a fine business in
high class poultry, very often ship
ping chicks and eggs to neighbor-
ing and distant states. The mer-
camille business has partaken OF
the general "boom'' and that trade
has been better than usual. S. K
Harwell stands behind our counters
his hair and smiles parted in the
middle, ready to wait on customers
or dispense tavors with the urbani
ty and suavity of a gay cavalier"
At Sammy a clerking,
A tearing and jerking
Off calico, jeans and demonstrating
You'd rise in your coffin,
And split your sides laughing
In the face of q quarterly-meeting.
The girls have donned theil
spring attire and the boys have
dyed their mustaches and are wait
ing to catch the first faint smile Of
their ! sweetheart, then return and
retire in delirium of ecstacy, theil
hearts beating a happy tattoo and
little Cupids flying and singing all
around them like humble bees I'M
der a glass tumbler. Oh! but
haven't they caught it! Caught
what? Ha, ha, ha, ha! Love is
like electricity, there is no telling
when, where or whom it will strike; ii
is as contagious as the itch but not
quite so comfortable as sometimes
those smitten with it cannot "come
up to the scratch" The boys are
complaining that they are "quaran-
tined' and that they "can't see hel
home" Poor fellows! Distance
must lend enchantment to the view
and rob enjoyment of its pleasures,
too.
tbs sweet to love,
But OH how "bit-her''
To love girl
And can't go with her.
Mr.. Downing will terminate
the present session of his school on
the 8th of June. There will be an
examination and exhibition con-
sisting of recitations, declarations,
essays land dialogues varied with
vocal and instrumental music. The
health of the community is general
ly good. Mr.. JEFF. Clark is much
better..than he was. Mrs. Charlotte
Glenn was buried at Mt. Pleas
ant on last Monday. Funer
al services were conducted by the
Revs. j. B. Anderson and w. j.
Brown. Rev. Marshall Brown of
the G. P. church breaches here ev-
cry fifth Sunday. He is a devout
christian and a good preacher and
always has the wrapt attention of
his congregation. Some ofthe best
preaching to which we ever listened,
we heard at Brick Church durin g
last May meeting. For beautiful
apt illustration, pointed
and general application, we have
never known this preaching of Rev.
D. L. Wilson to be excelled. The
words and ideas were like mirrors
that catch and focus all the rays
Of light, DETECTING and rejecting
them perpendicularly, obliquely, at
al angles and all directions into
Ill the hooks and craDnies of dark
ness, again meeting in one grand
locus in the mind where truth
lawns as morning dawns into day.
We think that contrast and illustra-
ion are the two most powerful de-
iectors and refect0rs.
Contrast mo kes the truth more bold
And truth illustrated Is truth best told.
If the dentists would come out
lere they would find plenty of work
o do. There are several indlvid-
lals in this country that have no
eeth. Poor things, they were late
y formed that way--a boy at |
lack Clark's, a girl at Monk Clarks, |
. boy at Fin Andrews, and a girl at |
frank Wolaver's and many more,
90 numerous to mention. We re-
emily heard an old maid, pretend
Nc not to envy married folks, sing
ng on the sly:
No husbands frowns,
No baby gowns,
Pm heart whole and fancyI free;
All my life long
III sing my song,
An old maids life is the life for me.''
