At the time the sensational suit for di-
vorce of Mrs. S C Smith VS. A. W. Smith,
the Andalusia school principal, was COM
menced last June, statements were made
rejecting upon the 90 cd name and moral
character of Miss Repine, of this city,
who is teacher in Smiths school there
The family's name had meyer before been
stained by charges n such a character.
The young lady, whose home is IN this
city, had always com manded the respect
of all who knew her, and hence the fol-
lowing voluntary retraction on the part of
Mrs. Smith will be read with as much
pleasure by the friends of Miss Repine as
it affords the ARGUS to publish it:
To ,ohom 1t may Concern: In the bill
of complaint which l filed in the circuit
court, June 80, 1886, against my hus
band. A. W Smith, | made charges oil
improper conduct on his part with Miss
Flora Repinc | did this on the strength
Of information which was erroneous, and
am now satisfied was untrue. l have
dismissed my said bill of complaint and
am anxious to and do retract all state,
meuts and charges which in any way af-
feet the good character of Miss Repine
and | further say that | never knew o.

was improper or unladylike on her par
with my husband or anyone else, anC
sincerely regret that have been the &C
casion of bringing her good name il

The Poets W all,

o, the autumn days are coming, when
the bees have stopped their humming, and
the partridge lone is drumming in the
copse upon the hill; when the leaves are
slowly falling, and the sable crow is call
ing to his mate TO stop her squgiling with
a wild and mcurnfui trail; autumn winds
the boughs are rustliDg, and again the
towns are busting. while the countryman
is hustling with his apples and his corn;
days of Johnny-cake and bacon, when the
woods are all forsaken. and the meadow
larks have taken flight across the fields
fOrlOrn; It's the season melancholy, DAYS
when nature is not Jolly; soon the welcome
Christmas holly will be hung DER US, and
the season soon will bore us when in mans
ner quite decOrous We must seek the even
ing ball; for the summer DAYS are over,
wlthercd are the fields Of clover, and each
merry woodland rover on his hauuts no
more does dote; and the question now,

weary, is the old one, dark and drnary,

the rounded ceiling is veneered with
stout tarpaulin cloth, upon the surface of
which are traced tasty designs. giving to
the interior bright, cheerful and invi-
ting appearance that certainly renders
travelling on them a pleasure as well as a
comfort. These coaches are about seven

with twenty seven red plush upholstered

Large numbers of scows and cabin
boats are coming down from the north
on their way to the warmer climate of
the middle and lower river. They are
generally well slowed with human
freight, and some of them are unique
specimens of the shipbuilder's art. They
generally send forth thin curls of smoke
from protruding stove pipes, and are
really far from being uncomfortable

are hardy sun-burned class, who know
and care little for the affairs of the world,

they do not enjoy life better and see
less of care than their more enlightened

The front ranks shall always be found
