for the decided strength displayed in the face

vestment securities say that they have large
orders for divdend-paying stocks and are
taking advantage OF bear attacks 10 M mem,
which may in some measure account for the
stubbornness of the market so far this week.

The Sunday School at Eureka is Still
doing a good work, judging from the num-
Der always present. A peaceful and united
neighborhood is attractive and desirable,
but it is more so when it is bound together
with Sunday School religion. We love
Sunday School religion. So much good
grows out oft. 1t is the Seeding pure
vital religion. There are some things that
we can see, and some things that we cannot
see, and one of the things that we cannot
see is this, viz: We cannot see how man
can have vital godliness in his heart and
not have vital Sunday School interest in
his life. It seems to us to be both unrea-
sonablc and unbiblical. We admit that O
man may be good worker in the Sunday
chool and not have vital godliness in his
heart, but how can he have vital godliness
in his heart and not work in the Sunday
School? That is the question that puzzles
our mind
The farmers on this side of the river are
working in 'the rear" They however,
got up kind of double quick movement
last week for few days, which pushed
them a little forward. But here is the
rain again, which will caue the plows to
stand still for several days.

Craytonyille Items.

One of our neighbors told us last week
that there would be fruit this yoar, ac-
cording TO an old adage that if the wind
was from the south on St. Valentines
day there would be fruit that year, and
the wind was from that direction on the
14th inst. He told US that certain old
gentleman told his (our neighbor's) wife
this several years ago, and that she had
taken notice of the same and has never
known it to fail. We hope that this adage
will be verified this year.
Our neighbors are terracing their lands.
We assisted one last week to terrace some.
and the embankments were almost
sufficient for narrow gauge railroad. If
they do not stand the water fall it is not
worth anyone's time. to go through the
motion of terracing only.
Road working has not begun in this
section yet OIL account of so much rain,
and soon the farmers will be so busy that
the time will be precious to them.
A citizen Of Anderson County recently
purchased mule from certain proprie-
tor of one of the Livery Stables at Ander-
son. The mule was wild-looking one,
and apparently hard to manage. After
buying, he saddled the mule and looked to
see whether the stirrups and bride were
all o. k. He then tried to persuade one OF
the crowd to ride the mongrel, but not
prevailing, he concluded that the only
chance was for him to mount it himself.
The bystauders were filled with animation
and anxiety, imagining the maneuvers of
the mule when his master should mount
it. Getting gentleman to hold it fast by
the bride, he mounted it, and when it was
turned loosed it m-o-v-e-d off as though it
was in the teens and been carrying the
mail several years. And thus the specta-
tors were sadly disappointed, but the gen.
tleman had good mule all the same.
A friend informed us recently how We
might utilize our well dirt, which is lying
in our way. He told US that Mr.. Pickel,
of Williamson, had tried an experiment
with well dirt and lime; two tons of dirt
to one of lime made splendid fertilizer.
If this be true, many of US can have sew
eral tons, and glad to get it out Of our way.
Our friend said that the composition must
be done in the fall. Vox.

Mr.. Stone, Of Georgia, has built three
mill dams at Andersonville, but every
time there is little swell in the creek his
work floats down the stream. He is
now building another dam, but is locating
it higher up the creek, and is drilling
holes twelve inches square to set his posts
It is to be hoped when this is completed
it will stand. There has been no grinding
at Andersonyille since last August.
Mr.. 8. Y. McAdams, who suffered sc
extremely last fall with a carbuncle, is
still complaining from the effects.
Our school is progressing finely under
the management of Miss S. c. McClain
an accomplished teacher. I learn that
Col. Clinkscales, who recently visited the
school, carried the little children through
simple calculation so hastily that they
scarcely could tell what was done. He
did stay long enough for Miss McClain tc
subscribe for the Teachers Library.
