ED. PICAYUNE:-This morning as every thing looked gay and pleas ant, 1 concluded to make trip to the country. So I sadsled up my old mule, "Pete," and made some remarks to my better-half, that I would return about night if not providentially hindered. l will give few items of my trip.
 The first place halted was that of Mir. w. r. Thompson, who is a thrifty farmer. 1 was informed by his amiable wife that he was not at home, and on taking my leave l noticed large crib full of corn. As I proceeded On, 1 found Uncle Perry Wammack and his little grand children gathering walnuts. 1 listened to the old mans mode of farming with interest. He stated that he had gathered a fine potato crop, and had stored away abont fifty bushels of apples. "Uncle' Perry is one of our ener- getic farmers and true friend to Democracy. l badc him good bye and commenced pulling on old Pete, getting him started with some trouble. travelled for sev- eral miles with nothing to disturb my mind except occasionally old Pete would bow his back, and walk stiff-legged, and finally the time did come, when he changed ends, and run backward over the yard fence of a gallant farmer, and be. fore l could stop the speed of Pete, he had made a circle around the house. The family was some what excited. 1 dismounted from Pete and offered a few apologies to the ladies, for I felt like 1 had called too early and in an abrupt manner, (so please excuse me, ladiesA After I mad tusged and wearred myself whipping and per suading old Pete for half an hour, l mounted him, and by using my spurs with success, soon found my way to Willisville. found Willis Herring very much debilita. ted, so much so that he was com pel!ed to quit ginning. Willis is another good citizen, good farm. CT, a good friend to education, and a stalwart Democrat. The store at this place is complete and man. aged by Herring & Watson, l pre- sume they do a good business. FineEe Herring is clerking for them. Of course there is no one that can tell what some young men will do, but would say there IS c0nsldera- ble room for an improvement in the clerkship at WiIllisville. Here at this place l met my old friend George Middlcbrooks. wlio is gath cring a splendid crop; aud never fails to have hog and honliny at home. am truly sorry that George is tainted" with Greenbackism. Hope he will soon see the error of his way and be a loyal son of Dem ocracy. MT. Editor, l will not az gravate your "devil' any longer. Probably I will give the balance of my trip next time. R. s. T.
