J Spring is shy. The farmers
are behind in their spring work,
but If health continues as good as
1t Is now is, they can soon get their
ground prepared for the seeds.
"A sad accident occurred on
Mr.. Ed. Horne's farm on the 10th.
Mr.. Stewart young cropper, and
two other choppers were out on a
hillside chopping. He was trim
ming limbs while his companions
were chopping the body of large
beech. Having cut off a thirty
foot log they started to roll it down
the hill when a limb from the un
der side which had not been cut off
caught in young Stewards cloth
ing and dragged the unfortunate
boy under the rolling log, which
passed twice over his body before
it could be stopped. The mangled
body was carried home and a doc
tor summoned Immediately, but
not power could restore him. He
died two days afterward.
-Lookl Mad dog How that
cry one week ago filled the hearts
of sCampbellsvillians with fear. A
dog belonging to DR.. Campbell acted
so strangely that he was considered
mad. The men armed and hunted
him down. The dog-killing COM
mittee shot thirty dogs in one day.
Several citizens killed dogs they |
priced very highly. Now they re-
tire to rest, leaving their smoke
houses, cribs and stables unguard
ed, but they have this consolation
Neither my wife nor child is in
danger of hydrophobia from my
dog" Which Is dearer, the wife
and child or the corn-cron crib and
stable? Every man who persists in
keeping suspicious dog on his
place should decide this question
in his own mind.
The Missionary Society organ
lied here several months since is
still in good working order. It
meets regularly on third Sundays.
The meetings are well attended.
Some funds have been collectedj
and sent on their errand of mercy.
The school is alike the pride
of teacher and patrons. 1t is full
and the attendance is unrivalled
1t affords excellent public enter
tainments every five weeks. These
are enjoyed by all. 1t is said that
nothing speaks better for a COM
munity than to say it supports
good school. II this is true.
Campbellsville deserves fair name
indeed. In this connection we
might speak of the Institute, which
Supt. Clack and several of the
teachers in the county have ar
ranged for this place April, 13 and
IA. This is good move in the
r. ght direction In cities, teachers
are compelled to attend such meet
ings. If they are necessary there,
why not in the country? Are city
children better than the country
boys and girls? Remember, pa
rents, when you allow your teacher
to absent himself from these meet
lngs, you silently acknowledge that
the city boy is better than yours
and should have better teachers and
more improved teaching. Come
out, theaehers, and help raise the
standard of teaching in old Giles.
You will be cordially received and
well cared for while here.
When Cupid deigns to shoot a
dart at any of the G. boys or
girls the arrow invariably has a
leaden point. Even Madam Ru-
NOR can find no weddings on which
to speculate
The other correspondents all
know of some man who is happy
because it's boy or girl, but no
such men are in this neighborhood.
A new baby would be a greater
show than 4-paw's circus.
