S Crops are doing finely-not suffering
yet from the dry weather, though q good
rain would not be Objectionable.
In going around among our friends en-
joying their hospitalities, &C., we are
bound to mention the gigantic strides a
number of them are making on their
farms. Messls. John T. McCown, S. W.
and ]. r. Carter each have fine crops.
The first named gentleman has q field of
upland corn Of about twenty acres in one
body that will average twenty bushels
per acre. MI. j. r. Carter has piece of
bottoms of about four acres that, with no
dieaster, will make three hundred bushels
ofcorn. The land is naturally very rich,
and Mr.. Carter informed us that he stim.
ulated 1t with seven sacks Of guano. The
rows are about Al feet apart and the corn
will average-eight7or ten inches in the
dr3llc-Any one doubling what We say
about it carr just walk over it and use
their own judgment. Both Of the last
ramed gentlemen have quite nice crop
Of Spanish pinders, the former one acre
and the latter two acres. The cotton
crops will compare favorably with the
best we, haye seen. We were treated by
each of these gentlemen to everything
that goes to make this life happy in q
physical point of view, and the day
that We will not remember it will be q
long way in the future.
Mr.. J. r. Carter has little son, "Mas-
ter Rufus" who is, indeed, a prodigy.
He is about ten years of age, and can play
an accompaniment alternately on the
organ or violin of any piece of music that
he is familiar with.
Our clever friends, DR.. Witherspoon
and s.. E. Strickland, are not in the rear
by any means in the line of farming.
They both have very fine crops.
The health of this immediate neighbor-
hood is good.
Our young friend, Wilton r. Earle, has
q good school at Shiloh.
Misses Bette Earle and Selma Whitta-1
keri have opened their schools and are
gliding along smoothly.
( The meeting at Shiloh closed on last
Sunday night. The Pastor was assisted
by Rev. H. NJ. Allen and also Rev. W. q.
King, who preached the two last nights
OF the meeting. Each Of them gave the
Church and community wholesome, gos-
pal truths which, if cherished, will be Of
lasting good.
Z 1t is probable that Rev. E. r. Carswell
viii be with his brother in the next meet
ing, the End Sunday in August, and assist
him in the conduct Of the same.
Prof. M. i. Willis will teach q class in
music, beginning next Friday, at Ruha-
nah.
Rev. w. II. King will preach at the
Grove Church, near Mr.. s. F. McConnePs,
next Sunday night. He will probably
protract through the following week.

Can Fish Smell and Tnstel

Vision and hearing in fish being the
ssasos most impor ant TO the angler in
his water sports, those next in value
are smell and taste. The possession of
these by fish seems to be disputed
poiat. They have evidently taste in
modified degree, as they will reject tn,
artificial lure if the barb cf the hook
is not Immediately imbcddel in their
flesh; but, on the other hand, thoy
will take leather or rubber imitation
of the natural bait with as much gusto
as live minnow or bug-hcnce the
question is a see saw one.
Fish, no doubt, in common with
other animals, have the instinct of dam
ger developed almost to the quality of
reason; and it il no bar to the truth of
this to argue that, because
fish will take the bait with q half dozen
broken hooks in its mouth, it follows
a british appetite that is blind to dan
ger; for, look you, be ye an angler or a
butcher, that stomach of yours i death
TO you every day of your life; that
smoking dish, be it red herring or
canvasback duck, is causing you to
make rapid strides graveyard, and you
know it; AMI yet you gorge yourself
every day upon your favorite dish.
1t ill becomes a man to argue that,
because an animal cannot control its
appetite, it has not the lordly gift of
reason. To sum up:
Can a fish tastel Certainly--he spits
out his artificial bait.
Can a fish smell2 Aye, there's the
rub; yet why the anointed lures so
priced by old anglers and many modern
oncs2
This fact, however, is sure; fish are
susceptible to anger and jealousy; for
we have seen them fight, and we all
know how tiger like in combat salmon
and trout are on their spawning beds.
