= season Of the year. The air is
ry cool and bracing; the days bright
le and pleasant, and all nature seems
ps to be reveling in songs Of gladness
G. and praise. But the unfortunate
m man who failed to make cotton
to enough, at seven cents, to pay for
Is Fashions bought in the spring
le does not enjoy these natural bless
ID ings.
as THE Sunday-school entertain
I'd ment at the Methodist church on
4 the night of next Sunda Y
le promises to be very interesting.
0t The church will be beautifully
"a decorated, and the programme ar
a. ranged for the occasion is very en-
le tertaining. The object is worthy
s one and should meet with hear
N ty response from everyone in the
81 community.
:, In our issue of week before last
- we stated that Prince Powell was
in Jail for stealing cotton. We
% should have said Willis istead
of Prince Powell. Prince is
10 an honest, hardworkin8 and re-
! spected colored man Of the 18th
% district, and was never known to
; be guilty Of theft We think this
correction is due him.
e We dislike to dun our sub
p scribers so much through the
JOURNAL, but they compel US to
70 do so by not paying US. After
y the first of January we shall erase
e from our books every name that
. owes us for more that one years
o. subscription. We cannot publish
q a paper for glory.
1t THERE is no man SO independ-
r, ent and happy as the farmer who
J. can leah against his well-filled gra-
s naries, and smile at hard times;
II and there is no man so miserable
l. as the farmer when the plOr gh
n handles kick him in the stomach
: and d3uble him up like a broken
o hearted lilly.
IT is an assertion which admits
of much proof that a stranger of
tolerable sense, dressed like gen.
tleman, will be better received by
y those of quality above him than
one of much better parts whose
dress is regulated by the rigid no.
t. tions Of frugality.
= THE New York Graphic de-
- scribes Forthcoming volume as
! about half the size of pocket
book. This is two indefinite. Ii
l. it means Vanderbilt's pocketoook
- it would be a library in itself, but
% If our pocketbook is understood,
the moral is obvious
o. CHURcH and military fairs are
is good things. They teach a man
lg how to preserve look of deep hu-
rt mility while paying out two dol
lars of his hard-earned money for
N a ten-cent' 'pin-cushion.

le THE Bronwood items in last
ct weeks JOURNAL should have been

v graph. The Recorder is one OF
r our best exchanges.

II it makes man purer and better
