Brick Church.

We have as much now as we al.
ways have to be grateful to the
Good One for. The Crops that
seemed in imminent danger have re
vived since the recent rains; al
though oats suffered greatly and il
is thought we will make scarcely a
half crop. Recent frost did much
damage to the garden crop; also
cotton sustained some damage in
low lands. Some farmers were plow-
ing up and replanting the 18th inst.
in the section of Odd Fellows Hall.
The recent warm showers have
revived crops of every variety
There is a very perceptible improve
ment in wheat the past few days.
1t is thought now we may make per
haps two thirds of crop. There is
now a wonderful improvement in
our facilities for threshing since
Capt. Blackburn, Rothrock & Co.
have purchased a large vibrator,
propelled by traction engine.
OOh HEALTH
has improved much since the four
weeks drought was intruded upon
by refreshing showers. Malarial
troubles were becoming quite preva-
lent during the dry weather. Our
valley here is rather subject to that
condition Of things when there is a
long absence Of moisture combined
with a good degree of solar heat;
though this spring the poison was
on us much sooner, as protracted
dry spell is very unusual this early.
THE P. AND b. C. TURNPIKE.
Interest has revived and we be-
lieve on a life time boom. Work
will be resumed in a few days on
the Brick Church end, and after we
get up the Kennedy hill going south
we can travel with the work like q
deer in walk, for dame Nature has
built the road and metaled
it, except a few short places, to
hill. So all we have to
do is to open bitches and build a
few culverts, and we will have, in
my opinion, one of the best roads in
the state. We learn some stock
holders here will increase their stock
and new stock will be subscribed on
the part of others. So in spite of
the little unfounded prejudice, the
Pulaski q Brick Church Turnpike,
[ consider, now virtually built
Your article recently did much here
to awaken a new interest. So stir
them up again, for we are so con-
stituted that we need to be frequent
" reminded of our duty.
OUR LIVE STOCK.
Trade is dull now, as every one
who wished to purchase in the
spring seems supplied. However,
5he monotony was disturbed by
Capt. Blackburn selling to DIR. Har-
wood his splendid ShOrthorn calf,
Earl of Villanow, for fancy price.
J. G. Burgess sold to Mr.. F. G. Blu
ford the famous Hewett saddle geld
ing for $3.50, and if we are not mis-
taken, if he is rightly handled, will
make a fier.
OUR SCHOOL,
taught by Miss Kate Alternately in
K. of II. hall at DIR. Hammond's,
closed with very interesting exer-
cises the Goth inst. 1t was our good
fortune to be numbered with the
happy spectators. The hall at an
early hour was crowded to its full
est capacity. The program for the
day was well arranged by the ac-
complished teacher and the exer-
cises Throughout the day were both
entertaining and instructive. The
ability displayed by Miss A. at once
showed that she was mistress Of the
situation. Her graceful bearing in
the school room seemed a special
feature in the program. We re-
member this accomplished young
.ady found the school the 9Th of
asst January anything but inviting,
from the fact that so per cent of
5he pupils were strictly primary,
having never attended school but
title if any; % per cent. Of the re
so had been badly taught
1T previous schools; so with in
lomitable energy, coupled with
knowledge of knowing
low, she has now a reputation that
In experienced parsonage might be
proud of. The composition and &C
features in the exercises
showed at once that Miss A. had
lot neglected to instil her rhetoric.
[ would like to speak individually
If each pupil, but time and space
will not admit. Well may Profs.
Jones and Mcknight, her former
.eachers, feel their labors have not
been in vain.
We are panied, Dear Laps, to
chronicle the death Of Mrs. L. G.
Cook, nee Miss Mary Waller, who
vas reported some time ago in a
ow state of health. She crossed
he river last Thursday and was in
erred at Mt. Zion the following day.
It was our pleasure to know her
ong and know her well; for we were
ichool-mates and classmates at
Slate Springs Academy, and we
lave ever found her from that period
# life, the same loving and gentle
christian. She leaves a kind hus-
,and and two sweet babes to lament
Ter loss. How sad to be thus cut
If so early in life; just as she was
CALLING the comforts of a good
husband and loving consolation of
wo little ones. While drawing
Genes of future happiness, an un-
cen hand drew the curtain and
hut her from our view. Thus
'assed away from the theatre of
life one of natures good women.
