Oar country friends report upland corn

and the lands working unusually well.
The Donation party at the Rev. DR..
Sloan's given by the membership of
Cedar Springs and Long Cane churches
last week was u most enjoyable day to
pastor and people. The f east was a
profusion cf the very best things on
i%alnablc, the presents, numerous and
valuable and above ana beyond all We're
the expressions Of continued Owe and
confidence which has so long ahnun.ici
among these coworkcrS in the Masters
vineyard. DR.. Sloan has served these
churches as pastor for thirty-seven years
consecutively.
Only Il few years ago, comparatively
speaking, the large plantation known as
the Mantz place on the east side Of Hard
Labor creek and some other adjoining
lands, were a little better than a howl
ing waste. They have been cut up into
smaller farms and are now owned and
occupied by Mcssrs. Bannister,
ClinkScoles, Street. Eiarerc1ly, Dun
can and Others all of whom are %intclli-
gent. industrious, practical farmers and
if an ocular demonstration of the adj
vantage of small farms well titled is
wanted, here it is. These men have
nicely improved sediments. good past
urcs, good stock. old corn, oats cotton
and money too, and consequently are
happy. Plenty more of the same sort
Of land all around here, only needing
the well directed efforts Of other set
tiers to make comfortable happy homes.
Because a young man is an efficient
railroad express agent and postmaster
it don't follow that he can hitch
4 horse to a china tree. For instance
our friend Pat had to walk home on 4
recent. Sunday night. There are grave
doubts, however, as to whether he
didn't forget all about having n horse to
hitch upon alighting ut the gate.

Lexington. S. G, boasts Of a farmer
who had not yet sold a bale Of his last
crop Of cotton, and who has also some

but small quantities Of fertilizers ard

We have had an opportunity lately
to see an exhibition Of the power pos
sessed by Mrs. G.. Henry Moore, re
sembling that Of Lula Hurst. Mrs Moore
performs all the tests given by Lula
Hurst and others that the latter never
tried. For instance by simply laying
hands upon the top Of IL table she could
make it move SO that three strong men
could not hold it still. The table being
broken in the effort to hold it. This
is only one Of the tests she gave. We
do not know what this force is, and
hence We don't try to explain ii. But
We are we'll satisfied that it is not mus
cular strength. In the first place Mrs.
Moore has no object in deceiving the
public and if she had is too true Il woman
to do so. In the second place We are
satisfied from the actual trial and eXpc-
ricnce Of the force.

read a letter from Mr.. Schotinld, the

the progress Of his negotiations with the
Louisville & Nashville road and with
Mr.. Talmage and asking that the meet
ing adjourn ut the call of the president
not later than the list Of May, On mo-
ito, this time was extended to the 18th
Of May. 1t was clearly the sense Of the
meeting that this should be the last de-
lay and if Mr.. Schoteld's plans had not
succeeded we would try other meas
ures. We are not n of those VIII"
have been too ready to join with our
enemies in deriding MI. Schofield and
his efforts. This is q gigantic enterprise
and takes time to accomplish it. But
we do think that If by May 18th he
has not succeeded in the efforts we
should take steps to regain control Of
the road and it's franchises.
