D. f.. Harriott continues to sway
the rod in the Edwards school, one
mile west from Cailiope.
Treasurer Williams is ~rusticating
this week over the green fields Of
his Virginia half section.
Alcester has made some decided
improvements since we were last
there. Walworth the postmaster, is
pretty sure ~ keep his office as
there are no aspirants to the honor
Of his position.
H. H. Sherman, Eco, lie regaining
his health from having a cancer OH
the left temple. The old gentleman
bought 1 cure that finally cured the
dreadful tumor. It came out leav.
ing a circular hole over three inches
in diamater bare to the skull bone.
It 10 now nicely healed, although
there is still a numbness Of the flesh
at the top Of the head. The old
gentleman's pluck during his severe
illness is truly a matter Of wonder.
IN GENERAL.
In travelling over Union county
n is struck by the great change in
the several conditions of the people.
Where the sod shanty reared its
weed crowned head but a few years
ago, now stand in many cases al
most palatial farm dwellings. The
many sided strips Of breaking have
been transformed into fair, square,
cornered fields, enclosed in the arbi-
trary barbed wire fencing. The iso-
lated boulders, which the wise say
are tho milestones Of the stupendous
Attic food " uhlietofied ages, make
firm foundation stones for a variety
Of buildings. The Easter wave Of
progress has laved the hills:des
with timothy and clover. Hungar-
ian millet has superseded sunAower
reigp. The finger Of civilization is
upon the brow Of Union county. No
n believes this more than he who
is familiar with the several neigh.
borhoods. Real estate is steadily
launching ahead in value, and ere
long the poor man will stand little
chance in obtaining a home by the
cunning Of his brawny arm. Intel
lect beams from the eyes of the lit
tie boys and girls who sit through
these long days in the palace Of the
pedagogue. Some IF the young
sters have heads and faces that
would fill the Greek ideal. We
been at several schools in this
county Of late and the variety of
method and discipline given is at
east a matter of wonderment. The
influence this will have on the ac-
lions and value Of the future men
md women is somewhat in the
cleaning. One thing we will say,
free from oil bias and hereditary
and hat is that the lady
teachers Of this county, as far as we
IRE able to speak, r doing a better
Of work than their sturdier
brethren. The old adage "Hew to
he mark let the chips fall where
may" is rs good as ever. The
up male knight of the ferule
must prosper his laurels, or he will
'oon take a tie-pass on the railway
retrogression OH whose line there
ire but two stations, forgetfulncss
md oblivion. ADoN1s.
