Willie Smith has had quite a seri-
Gus time with mumps in fact they have
gone pretty hard with all of our old
bachelors. We have q few cases OF
| measles in our community.
Mad dogs and talk thereof is and
has been as common as "pig tracks
they will very likely multiply suffi-
GENTLY in q few more days that our
bird-huntsrs can kill them ION the
wing"
Monroe Sisk is our scientific hair
dresser. He has taken the place of our

-Inasmuch as the children of the
goth have all graduated, the directors
will close the public schools next Fri
day at p. NJ, and wait until July for
new material to enter the arena of edu-
cational combat. 1t hath been well
said that "we are living in a fast age"
II hath been said 10y them of old (iOgy)
time, that from to years was neces-
sary to educate thoroughly, but it hath
been demonstrated here that two
months is SdpienttG. Those great men
who presided during the infancy of the
American independence looked through
a glass darkly when they declared that
prosperity, religion and civilization had
for their foundation stone education.
o! happy us, who struck the match
which set a world to b azing and spark
ling with intelligence, civilization, re-
ligiOus liberty, tree Institutions, ETC..
etc. Rejoice, oh, my soul! and take
exceeding ease while basking in the il
limitable sun-lit fields of literature so

sons at premature age march up be-
lore a bar OF justice and plead before a
Judge McLemOre, (if such can be
tound.) PLEAD, did L say? All truly
did l, and that guilty, too, of cannioal-

cause of education. The illiteracy OF
the State OF Tennessee, as shown by the
editor of the CITIZEN some time back,
(if it continue, and we can see no light
behind the clouds, but n disposition on
the part of some to thicken and blacken
with Egyptian darkness that which is
already hung on our illiterate horizon,)
threatens with the l"udest peals of the
heaviest thunder ere long total eclipse
of the cause OF education in this grand
the axle OF the CIR OF education, thereby
impeding its progress, will, when it
stops, yea, when the dark ages come, be
accessory to all the atrocious crimes
committed by heather race, who de-
light In nothing but the destruction of
their fellow-man and the worship OF
blind deities. Oil how painful TO listen

Oh thou beloved land, how 10th arc we
TO bid thee farewell to sink beneath the
iron heel of ignorance.

Gould those Tex. Prods. have an adj
equate idea OF the grand culinary dis
plays recently in old Giles, which were
tested by your humble servant, they
would not wait for Clack's coming

scented by Master Henry Wells, is
enough TO make dutch" Bass "a Tex.

not all--we walked right out of that
into a new hat presented by Brooks q
