EDITOR HERALD:-After a silence OF
some time, we break the monotony, by
writing again, thinking perhaps we
may be able to furnish some news OF
interest for the issue or the HERALD
this week.
Last Saturday seemed to be day of
unusual interest, 1t being st. Valentines
day. We never participate, but we saw
some very hurtful and unpleasant ar.
ticles, a I'D we generally conclude Ithose
unpleasant articles sent with the IN
tentIon to wound feelings are falr
specimens OF the Senders. THAT'S all.
Our mission should be for good, ana not
for evil.
We sympathetically chronicle the
death OF another aged mother who has
crossed over the mysterious river OF
death. On last We lnesday, Mrs. Steven
Williams of Knob Creek, at the age OF
~ years, babe adieu to loved ones
She left an aged and feeble companion
of So years, TO mourn her death. she
was a consistent member OF the M. ~:
church, and after the solemn burial
services con, u3Ued by Revs. Hull, and
James VOORHEES,, ST., the remains were
committed to the silent keeping OF old
mother earth in the family graveyard,
10 await the resurrection morn. Peace
to her slumberiRg dust.
The Public School near TImmons IN
this district (the 20th.), in charge OF the
ethcient Professors Americas Allen,
and Thos. Williams, is progressing
splendidly. The good patrons of this
community have exhibited their aPpre-
citation and zeal for a good school by
their liberal patronage. The roll now
numbers 80 pupils, and the worthy pro-
fessOrs have the best wishes OF our fam
lily circle tor their future prosperity ana
the upbuilding or establishing of good
and permanent school on Knob Creek.
Ninion Evins, Henry Steven, and
Messrs. Mitchells of Bear Creek, have
enlisted in this important 6ducatlonaI
institution.
The controversy between Mr.. ]. p.
Timmons and the Editor has created
quite aIsensation. But we are unable to
view it from the same standpoint OF
brother TimmOns. As the columns OF
the COLUMBIA HERALD are open for
arguments, we will put forth simple
illustration that shows clear to our
mind that accident and imagination
does account for the phenomenon con,
corning Mr.. Wills Harris amputated
hands. For instance, we've all expert
enced the numbness of limb. an arm
for instance on awakening from sleep;
we find our arm void of feeling, dead as
it were; can't move it, without lifting II
with the other hand. Well it gives us
no pain, but being suspended to the
shoulder we experience great weight
as it were attached to us, but still the
| limb gives us no pain until reaction
sets in. Now tell us, this being the
case with a numb limb, how much
more or less could an amputated or dis
| connected limb effect us after amputa-
ton has taken place and it is cold, stiff
in death and even buried, But we con
clude this subject by promising to tell
real genuine and laughable circum
stance about bowling dog that actually
| occurred to our own knowledge, and we
| promise you it's no chicken story
| neither is it a snake story. VIVIAN.
