into us, making for hollow log, and we
all went for him and fell over the log
and had hard work to rise again. sat
down and blowed like porpoise. The
same dogs ran rabbit through the gar
den to-day while we were all at work,
and the girls and boys all dropped every
thing and ran and screamed and shouted,
but l never moved. The like Of that
always aistresses Mrs. Arp, for she don't
want anything in the world killed or
scared 10 death or hunted down. Well,
I believe she does except some little
things like bedbugs, rats and snakes, and
she wouldent kill them if they would
keep at respectable distance. But she
is right chicken-hearted and loves chick
en- like other preachers, though | don't
believe she ever would eat one if she had
to kill it herself She is partial to oysters
and says they haven't got life enough to
enjoy it, and she thinks that fat hogs
were created for sausage meat and spare
rib, and haven't got much of lille to
lose.
While 1 write these random thoughts
there are children and grandchildren all
around me, kicking up an unusual rum
pus. The older ones had promised
show tonight, and so the little chaps
were put off in the parlor until the show
was ready. "Thc Dutch Doll" was the
show, and after they had fixed up Aunt
Betty, as they called her, they sent off to
the cabin and got the cook woman to
come in and hide behind the big doll and
play Aunt Betty, and work her arms, and
wine her nose, and talk for her, and sing
for her, and l never did see 4 passel of
children so mystifcd and interested.
They looked around tic room aud saw no
one of the family missing. All here, and
still Aunt Betty seemed to have voice
and life and action and no amount of
persuaion could induce the little chaps
to go near and shake hands. 1t was q
good show and 1 enjoyed it as much as
the children. These household plays
and frolies arc good part of life's
pleasure to ME yet, and give assurance
that the time has not come when the
grasshopper shall be burden. As long
as l love to see Others happy am con.
tent to live.

Last week we remarked about the great
necessity for better school-houses. Let
the subject be kept before the people.
Let us reiterate: we must have better
houses before we can reasonably expect
to have public schools of higher grade.
Considering the small amount of money
appropriated for the support of the pub.
lie schools, and considering the admitted
ability of our people to provide better
houses with their own hands and means,
it is unfair, unreasonable and impolitic
to ask the District Trustees to build or
repair houses by appropriating the public
fund. As has been already suggested,
let the good citizens in every neighbor'
hood determine to take steps in this mat
ter as soon as the crops are "laid by"
Saw-mills are not scarce, and timber is
plentiful, at least not so scarce that An
derson County can not afford an abun-
dant supply for all the school-houses she
needs: then, if you find it inconvenient
to contribute of your means, consent and
move to give three days or even weeks
work with your own hands to the I'M
provement of the house your children
are to occupy during the cold days of
next winter. Blu. again. In towns aud
cities, hot suppers and various other en-
terprises are frequently resorsed to for
the purpose of raising money to be ex'
pended in the improvement of church
buildings. Why may not our friends in
the country, with enterpr;s;.s spirit, in
similar way procure funds sufficient to
beautify their school.houses and make
them comfortable? 1t can be done.
Such an enterprise in the month of July
or August would be pleasant recreation
for the many sprightly girls, young ladies
and young men all over the County.
We are in earnest in this matter. Can
not our teachers work up an interest that
will lead to something of this kind !?
Talk about it. Talk to your neighbors
and patrons. In every community, some
man can be found whose heart throbs in
unison with the teachers: touch him
kindly, politely, but caadidly. Don't
put your finger in your mouth and whine
about the dreadful condition Of the house
and the little progress the children have
made in consequence thereof, until you
have made at least one honest effort to
better the condition of affairs. What
neighborhood will put the ball in mo-
tion?

Whatever may be your business, it is
of the highest Importance that you keep
a set Of neat, legible, comprehensive
books. Thousands of men know not
how they stand financially because they
never take the pains to have wellkept
record of their business transactions. 1t
is said that George Washington, while an
humble citizen on his farm in old Vir-
ginia, before he was known as the father
of his country, kept set of neat books
and could tell exactly what it cost him
to raise every crop. Every field was
named and charged with every load of
manure and every days work put upon
it, and in the fall, credited with every
bushel of corn or pound of tobacco it
yielded. How many farmers in Ander-
son County take the trouble or pains to
keep such records7 How many can tell,
even approximately, what it costs to raise
a single crop?. Many have sons we'll ad-
yanced at school: would 1T not be gooo
idea to require these boys to keep the
books for the farm? 1t would certainly
be of great advantage to the boy, and
might prove interesting and helpful to
the farmer. It is no more important that
a merchant have well-kept books than
that the farmer have them; the larger
the farm, the more varied and extensive
the business, the greater the necessity tor
such books. The cotton gin, the saw
mill, the thresher, the grist mill, the
little store, all come in for their share of
attention, for their places in the book
that shows the standing of the proprietor
and the relation of the different branches
of business. A COPY of Meservey's Sin
gle Entry Bookkeeping would expedite
business on many farm and greatly
facilitate its management. If the son is
not competent or not careful enough to
risk with the responsibilities of book
keeper, entrust it to the daughter. Girls
as general thing write better, and are
neater, than boys. A copy of the book
above mentioned might prove blessing
to you: get one and learn its simple ard
nseful lessons.

great body of the swag goes into the
crucible as soon as it is received. These
are receivers of stolen goods. A Mrs.
Williams house was robbed of large
quantity of valuable plate, and aided by
some smart detectives she traced her
property 10 the shop OF Alderman Jaehne,
whose business was buying old gold and
silcer. The Alderman like key Solo
mons did not let the grass grow under
his feet after the swag came into his
possession. What did he do with it?
"vy, 1 pops it into de cruciblc, my dea." "
Spoons, ladies, coffee pots, teapcts, try s
and sugar tongs all went into the crucible
aud when the detective got there all
except some few pieces had disappeared
and were melted into good solid bars
At first the Alderman was defiant, then
he tried to bribe the officer, and finally as
the meshes of the law closed in upon
him he compromised with the lady by
paying her 81, 100 the value of her stolen
plate, and thus escaped States prison Gs

this for a city father. Excellent material

Alderman when the franchise Of The
Broadway railroad WAS before the Com.

man was $4,000. Yet, living lii;ea fight

The FitZ-JOhn Porter Balloon.

The Atlanta Constitution gives a
new version OF the aforementioned ex-
perience of Fitz-John Porter in bal
doom during the Peninsular campaign,
and adds such tremendous brass orna
ments as to call forth the following
from the Dayton Jurnal;
GAIL utter, blanked nonsense. We
saw that balloon sailing high. and saw
it come down, 1t had been up re.
peatedly before about 1900 feet, an
ehored solidly; but On this occasion,
in the afternoon, while Porter was up
accommodating the rebels in Yorktown,
from the east side of Wormsley creek,
it got away but never crossed the
Union lines. Porter, very much
alarmed, pulled the valve too hard,
and the balloon came down in heap
in Brigadier- General w. w. Burns's
camp, at the headquarters of a squad
OF sharpshooters, about 200 yards from
Burns's marque. Burns and the rest
of US rushed out to see what was the
matter, and when Porter was released
from his enlargement he quickly
asked, Are there any newspaper men
around here?' and begged for Gods
sake to say nothing about it, He
went with Burns to his quarters, told
his story, took drink of whisky and
was sent back to his camp On Burns's
horse, with an orderly to accompany
him. There has been deal of non
sense printed about this incident, but
this is the plain fact. The balloon
was never within Parrott gun shot of
the rebel lines after it started, and, of
course, there wasn't a rifle in the
rebel army that could reach ii. But
it was ticklish position, nevertheless,
for man who did not know how to
manage balloon"
