Many of our people are plantir

garden seeds and are digging up
the ground generally.
Last Sunday was beautiful. and
large congregations assembled IN
the churches that were opened Tor
religious services.
Miss Eta Bayliss whowent to her
home on account Of sickness short
time ago, we are glad to know, re
turned last Saturday. She is well
and enters school for the remainder
of the term.
Corn planting is now under way.
Be sure you plant enough corn to
feed all your horses, and all your
hogs; plant till you are satisfied
that If the crop is not good you will
make more than you need, and have
some to sell.
DIR. JEFF. Burns, who has just
returned from Nashville, Tennessee,
where he has been attending Van
derbilt Dental College, we are sorry
to learn is suffering from an attack
OF measles. We hope he will recov'
er without any serions effects from
that disease.
There were more people IN town
last Saturday than there had been
for weeks. They were buying goods,
groceries, farming implements, ETC.,
and great deal OF it on "tick." We
are glad to see people III town, and
glad to see them buying goods, but
we are sorry they are buying on
time.
MIR. Poe, constable for this town
ship, arrested man last Saturday
ON suspicion. Mr.. Poe thought the
man bore marks suitable to the des-
cription of the train robbers sufii-
cient to justify the arrest. On ex
animation tho suspicion was not
strong enough, and the man was re-
leased.
We say again that we want a
good correspondent in every town
ship in the county, somebody to
give US all the local news. We want
the real estate transfers, the crop
outlook, the moving in and moving
out of the community, the schools,
the deaths, and all other occurrences.
Please give them to us. We do hot
care about long articles on morality,
and if we did we could write them
ourself. We want the news and
nothing more. We do not want it
simply to FL! up the paper, because
We have man hired for that pur-
pose, and he can fill it as quick as
any man you ever saw. But we
want all the news, and we must have
1t, and if somebody will send us a
few dots now and then, we will be
too glad for anything. Write on
one side OF the paper and always
send your name.
We went over TO the high school
the other day in company with Mr.
Lawrence Russell, Esq. and had the
opportunity and pleasure OF hearing
recitations. Being dear lovers Of
the opposite sex we went into Miss
Florence Pruitt's room. She was
hearing class of little boys and
girls in reading and elocution. We
never saw as small children any
better trained in the art of reading
Miss Florence takes great pains with
her pupils, and never fails TO imparl
instruction. We spent half hour
in Prof. Shinn's room, and heard q
class of boys in arithmetic. We
then gave the boys a piece of ouI
mind and left. Prof. Jones had to
go out at that hour on business, and
we merely went through his room
SO we have been through college
The patrons of the school ought t6
go around occasionally and encour
age the teachers, and we all ough,
to make united effort to build up q
good school.
deputy Sheriff Young last Fri
day, morning arrested two men al
the depot. They were regarded by
the train men as suspicious charac
tiers, and as it was decided that they
suited the descriptions OF the train
robbers, they were pointed out to
Mr.. Young, hence the arrest. Mr.
Young telegraphed to Mulberry, the
place of the robbery, and the people
there asked that the prisoners be
brought to that place for identifies
ton. They went up on the evening
train, and their innocency was at
once declared, and they passed down
the next mornining. One of the
gentlemen whose name was Miller
lived awhile IN this place and dealt
in earthen ware. The citizens here
regarded him as an honest, reliable
man, but some circumstances seemed
to point TO his completely in the af-
fair. We are glad, however, that
he proved to be innocent. 1t is q
dangerous thing for a man to be
lounging round now if he be not
known.
Last Friday was the gloomiest
day this office has passed through
since its establishment, Our fore
man stood with his elbows on the
window sash, gazing furtively into
the broad expanse before him, our
devil, in a lackadaisical manner,
stood at his window with his "stick"
In his hand, gazing up at the may
