[ From our Special Correspondent, ]

Xmas, with its joys and its sor-
rows, its achievements and disap-
pointments, its broken VOWS and
new resolutions has come and gone
and we enter the new year with
increased energy and determine,
ton to accomplish more during
the present year than we did in
the one that has just past, carrying
with it burden of cares, failures,
regrets and disappointments.
Our village has been unusually
quiet during the holidays. The
young people have enjoyed them
selves well and the older ones have
had their full share of annoyance
trying to obtain hands to cultivate
their farms. Some have plenty Of
hands and some have none.
A number Of changes have been
made in, and around town.
Mr.. John Brown has moved to
his farm, four miles in the coun-
try and Mr.. Joe Gray has moved
into the house formerly occupied
by Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. j. V. Brazzleton has moved
into the house formerly occupied
by Mr.. Lee Bolin.
Prof, P. Gibson IS preparing to
move to his residence, now occu-
pied by Mrs. Flynt, who will re-
move to her home recently pur-
chased from Mr. Abe Brown, but
now occupied by Mr.. Story, who
is putting up a new building for
himself.
Mrs. Pearce, one of the teachers
Of the Normal Institute, and DR..
Coates of Keachi, were married
last Sunday P. d., at the Metho.
dist church and left Tuesday morn
ing for Keachi. We regret to lose
Mrs. z. from our community and
wish q prosperous and happy life
for her and her chosen partner.
The good people of this vicinity
are glad to knew that Rev. Hocut
has been returned to his former
field of labor.
lhe prospects oil the Haynes
vile High School are very flatter-
ing. 1t opened on the 3rd of Sep
TENDER last with 43 pupils-enroll-
ed more than so during the fall
term and closed the term on the
10th Of December with GO in at.
tendance. The Spring term opens
this week with 4S in attendance
and 80 are. expected next week.
This IS certainly the school for
the people. The instruction given
is thorough and practical, the dis
cipline is firm and the moral infu.
ence is good.
