what time we are all having. One
entire community interested directly
or indirectly in putting up ice, and
the small boy seeing how close he
can skate 10 the excavations without
falling in. Providence has given us
all an opportunity TO supply ourselves
with ice the year round. If we
would but initiate the ant and the
bee. "The ants are people not
strong, yet they prepare their nest in
summer" If every man in Hopkins
vile would close doors one day and
work at the ice ponds, the rich and
poor would have ice all summer. A
common interest and throwing men
together in a common cause make
them brothers. 1 have spoken to
men after fire for the first time in
IL months. Society needs real
something TO throw all men on
level, as the harvest field was when
Ruth toiled in the sun. The Roman
Baths were frsQuented by all and all
felt common interest in them.
"Ah! never be that wretch forgiven,
Forgive him not indignant Heaven!
Whose grovsllinE eyes could first adore,
Whose heart could pant for sorbid ore,
Since that devoted thirst began
Man has forgot to feel for man."
It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. The blacksmiths have all they
can do, removing old shoes and put
ting spikes on the new ones to pre-
vent the stock from slipping.
Send Mr.. Garnett home when
courts over, no one is missed more
than he when absent. Vicksburg
never loved S. S. Prontiss more than
we do him.
"when forced to part from those we love
Though sure to meet to morrow,
We yet kind Of anguish prove,
And feel touch OF sorrow."
Miss Florence Chappell has just
returned from visit to the family of
Mr.. John Steele. No one knows how
they love home until they go away
awhile from it.
Miss Bobbie Watson has returned
home from an extended visit TO rela-
tives in GAINESVILLE, truly "Absence
makes the heart grow fonder."
The slick roads hath no effect upon
the drummer. Did you ever hear of
one dying or taking cold2 He is
like Tennyson's Brook, men may
come and men may go, but he goes
on forever.
Cadiz has white English sparrow
that makes a much sweeter note
than his companions, hope he will
survive the cold spell. Would carry
him something to eat now if l knew
where to find him.
Judge Kelly may be 40, but certain
1t is that the spirit of chivalry and
knighthood has not died within HIM,
as gallant is he as any Knight Tenn
plar of the middle age. When the
spirit and institutions of the feudal
system were alone counterbalanced
by tho strong right arm of the gal
liant Knight, who was ever ready to
draw his sword at whatever odds, in
defense of the innocent and the love-
ly. And he, too, not unlike Whit
tiers Judge, has an eye for the beau
tiful in whatever guise 1t presents
itself. Two young ladies were cross
ing the street in front Of the court
house and came very near falling on
the snow, when the Judge, true to
tho instincts of his nature, made
bold dash to rescue them and got one
of the hardest falls on record for
man of his avoirdupois, they never
knew how he happened to fall, but
every great event in history will find
a historian. Showing that real mer-
1t of any kind cannot be concealed.
1t may not always be rewarded as II
ought, but it will always be known,
and that is reward enough to the
noble minded. OsTLER JOE.
Last Saturday an old colored man
named Tom Gray, living near Mr. Ed.
Walkers, lost his house and contents
by fire. He had some insurance but
