The WatchmaR, of Columbia, thinks
that we coincide with the views of the
State Board of Education, in adopting a
series of text books for the use of public
schools. Brother Hundley, altogether
we do not; we do not see why course of
mathematics not yet out should have been
adopted. We do believe however, that
there should be 4 series Of text books
adopted. not only by the State board, but
also by our parish board. So that there
would be uniformity in all our schools.
We know the Inconvenience to teachers
arising from different kinds of books used
in the same school; hence we are attach
ed to uniform system, but we are not
attached to any particular authors. Ev-
cry teacher who comes along as well as
having his pet theories on some things,
has his pet authors; and consequently,
introduces some new author; another
comes along and does the same thing,
until such Il thing as uniformity is not
known in our common schools. 1t is that,
that We are opposed TO, and for that rea-
son we believe in an adopted series of
text books; and all teachers applying for
public schools should be required to teach
that series; and thus have uniformity in
all schools. Without that kind of system
uniformity is unknown.

t'Atta~f "a Uni Ais ioSS-
Editor Southern sentinel:
In the issue of your paper of the Stl
inst. | noticed the paragraph relative Il
the need of mail facilities in the southern
part of Winn Parish. / agree with you
that a mail route should be opened from
Atlanta, in VIM, to Centcrville, in Cat
ahoula Parish.
The first steps to be taken, towards the
achievement of this, is for the people,
interested in the establishment of the
proposed route, to locate two or mere
postoffices on the route, have the offices
established and post masters appointed.
When this shall have been done. and the
post masters are qualified, it will be an
easy matter to have service ordered on
the route to supply offices.
By law passed by Congress recently,
all public roads are, in the discretion of
the Postnlaster-Ge General, post routes. If
few of the citizens will interest them
selves in the matter, and name to me the
locations of the post offices desired, give
names for the offices, and recommend
suitable persons for post-mastcrs dndi-
eating their post Office address,. | will
to have the same established
and the mail facilities given.

A private letter from a friend on Bcal
creek. informs us that cholera is playing
havoc among hogs in that vicinity tina,
they find as a cure, and also as proven
tive, equal parts of ginger and spice, pnl-
verified; and a tablespoonful to each hog
three times day, to be very effectnal
We can also give another remedy, which
is very good. Take one ounce of carbolie
acid, mix we'll with 2 or 3 gallons of wa
ter; give one pint to each Log by drench-
ing. Separate the sick ones, from the
well ones. One dose is generally suffi-
cient, either to prevent or cure the dis
ease. The process of drenching is very
easy. Catch the hog, sit it down on its
launches, bring the head mp between
your knees, place n gag in its mouth,
then pour down the drench.

4 man calling himself ssBill'' Jones
and claiming to hail from Catahoula par
ish, came into this parish sometime las,
February, and hired to Mr.. 81. M. Dick
erson of this ward, we think, for the year.
He had obtained tie confidence of Mr.,
Dickerson sufficient, that Mr.. Dickerson
left him alone with the place. A week
ago. last Saturday, Mr.. Dickerson and
wife went on visit to his wife's father;
leaving Dir. Jones in charge Of the place.
When they returned on Sunday evening,
they found that he had appropriated to
his own use, 2 quantity of cooked pro-
visions, some coffee and bacon, and gone
70 parts unknown, not forgetting to ap-
propriate ut the same time, bottles OF
s'antidute for snake bite, " which hsppen-
ed to be in the house at the time.

In another part of this paper will be

desire the route referred TO, should now
go to work and accomplish their part

is always ready and willing to do any
thing toward helping his people, will ac-
complish the balance. We will take

The people of Winfield and vicinity
gathered up last Saturday, and went to
Dugdemonia bridge and had a nice fish
fry. We are sorry that we could not be
there, AS we are informed that they caughl
plenty of fish, and had nice time. There
was also fish fry below here, near Mr..
Brett's, on the same day; they also
caught plenty of fish: and to add to that,
some one of the crowd, killed fine. tur-
key, which they also s'monopolized'. on

Will the Police Jury refuse to appro-
pirate funds to obtain the abstracts OF
land entries required by Act 3S, of 1884:
Such refusal upon their part, is mista-
ken economy; when by so doing, 5000(
acres of laud will be added to the assess
ment rolls of this parish. 1t can not be
expected of the Assessor, that he will pay
the amount required to obtain these num-
beers from the different land Offices The
time required by law to complete the as
sessment. is nearly up. 1t is high time,

From all over the parish the report
comes: Our people are hopeful of the
future; crops are looking well. and our
people are 1T work in earnest. Never be-
fore were prospects brighter. Surely this
is encouraging, and it certainly does
stimulate the laboring element to greater
exertion. Wecan say of truth, we never
saw fairer prospects, if we may judge
from the spirit that is in our people at
this time.
