w" writes from Corder:-''The most re-
markable thing that has taken place In our
city In the past few days, Is an Independent
candidate has come to the SUI. facein the person
OF Mr.. John Dean. Well, we guess he has a
good chance-to stay at home =. Judge Har-
rison Is the most buoyant man we have seen
for some time. he says he receives encour-
agement from all directions. Now ia the
time to buy goods from him. A man can get
them cheap On long or short time, and If he
never expects to have the money he can get
them for nothing-we guess. In these con-
tests for office, we think it best that no man
reckon victory certainly. Evan was to see
us last week, and seems to be very hopeful.
We heard some men tell him things which
are pleasing to an anxious soul. Wonder
what has become of that man. Mann We
have never seen hin in these regions. We
had nice rain Sunday night and we can soon
tell about the wheat. We can see sufficient
now to know that afull crop will not be
made in his section. We think the pros
pect better on the river. The o did not

Greer preached to a good congregation Sun
day from Proverbs, 3D. chapter, SOth verse.
Corder is blessed with a very interesting
Sunday, about sixty scholars, divided into
five classes. Class first, was composed OF
about twelve young ladies. taught by an ex-
p%crienced teacher and Christian lady. Glass
second consists of about fifteen little boys,
taught by 4 lady who seemed to understand
her work.. Glass third, there were about
eight girls taught by a lady who practices
teaching daily. Glass fourth, there were
about fifteen boys aged from ten 10 fifteer
years, taught by 4 lady who seemed quite al
home in her position. Class fifth was taught
by a lady who Is well qualified In every par
ticular. Three aged men composed thii
class. We do not know how we'll they knew
their lesson. Judging FROM their manner
one OF them appeared to be telling the teacher
that the lesson was torn out Of bis book.
Another, that he didn't know that was thu
lesson The third didn't know he wa
coming that day. But still they went ava.
| wiser than they came. Glass sixth, we sup

particular in describing this school, that yol
might see what an active part the men tax,
in it. A school of sixty, taught entirely b!
la les. 1t is true. i've more competent ladie
than those conducting the classes in thi
school could moi be found In any community
but for this reason should they bear the en-
| tire burden? There was one young maj
whom we took to be the vice superintendent
who manifested much interest in the advance
ment of the school. He certainly deserve
credit. The superintendent was necessaril
absent. We hope to be able to report In
creased interest upon the part Of the men, 1
this school. Permit US to give some ex
preston to the deep interest we took In read
Ing the letter from II friend Haynes. W
were glad to hear from him. he 'expresse
completely our views in regard to the presi
Dental contest. He certainly Is not blind q
to the true interest of the democratic party
But, sir, we do not like to see so many ex
presslons of doubt. Why doubt With til
principles we avow, and the men we have I
proclaim and enforce them, victory will Gel
tainly be ours. With Tilden and Morriso
as leaders, we shall march ~triumphantly I
the head of authority. Hope on; hope ever
