Judge W. ii. Fitz-Gerald and fami-
ly left here last week for Friars Point,
Miss, where they will reside in the fu-
ture. We regret to lose him and his
refined family from the society of our
town, but we congratulate Friars Point
on the acquisition of such social ad-
vantages. Judge Fitz-Gerald is good
lawyer, true citizen and high-toned
gentleman, and we all predict that he
will take high stand amongst the
moral and intellectual forces of the
community in which he now resides.

Would it not be well fer our people
in the prairie counties of Mississippi
to inaugurate this beautiful custom,
and while educating the rising genera

cation of natures works, at the same
time provide against the ills incident
to the destruction of the growths that
are seldom appreciated until lost p
Aberdeen Examiner.
The Examiner thus refers to the
Arbor day exercises, of which the
TIMES published an account, in Green
vile. We can scarcely recommend the
custom from its working in Greenville |;
except in towns where stock is not
permitted to run at large, The trees
planted around the school house by the
children have been nearly all destroyed.

thousand of this ~ asked merchant OF
aprinting establishments in West Point.
"Seven-fifty," responded the printer.
"Too high said the merchant. al can
get 1t done in Memphis for six-ffty.r
"Well,r said the printer. "the price
gave you was very low, and while you
possibly can get it done for six-fifty in
Memphis, you will have to pay express
charges, and the difference is very lit
tle.' "Well, can give 1t to you only
at the Memphis price, exclaimed the
merchant. II am very sorry, indeed,n
said the printer. II want the work and
have made the price as low as possible.
The difference is so little that | think it
ought to induce you to always have
your work done at home." NO. said
the merchant, "Ill send il to Memphis"
Two hours later-Wife of printer in
merchants store. CAT what will you
sell me fifty yards of domestic, Mr.
Mcrchantr "Five dollars "Oh, | can
get 1t in Memphis for four dollars"

merchant, "possibly, but then you
would have to pay express charges,
and the difference would be very small.

these goods. | am citizen here, |
pay taxes here and | contribute to the
welfare of the town.-Columbus Dis
