ErrAJAsE, April 27.-Rev. Mr.. MsKoy

TO his bed from sickness.
Mr.. C. W. whisonant, our township SUPER
iptendeut visited the Skull Shoals Sunday
School yesterday and gave theiP . go<A
Iseiurs on their work. They hayN . COED
school st that church under the So aisnd-
ence Of Mr.. ]. III. Osment wa~ eei
bcalthy Suuday School at Mesopo(SdhA =.
With Mr. +. A. Goforth as superintendent.
They have set spsvt the 4th Sabbath OF Msy
fer "Children's day." to which all Sunday
school scholars, teachers, workers and
friends are invited, and we guarantee them
delightful time.
One Of our colored friends proposes TO
answer our hog question. Will be glad to
acknowledge it. Send it on.
Willie Garner answers the frog question
right-2S days.
By some mishap the TIMES didn't +, ach
this office last Friday according to schedule.
Last Fri day morning between IL and
O'Clock the rain came aud Iut an end TO the
dry spell and hard plowing. 1t fell gently
and has revived vegetation very much. Cot
ton Ind corn planted was lying in the dust
and clods and couldn't come up. Now we
may look for grass in abundance.
We have never seen q better prospect for
wheat at this season of the year. /. is only
to be regretted that so little Of it was sowed.
10 the same length Of time, we have never
heard or seen so many accounts Of mad dogs
rs We have within the past few daye. II
every man in the country would become ga
law unto HIMSELF and pour butkshut sinfo
every struggling dog he found prowling
around, hunting hens nest, this nuisance
would soon be absted.
Mr.. Edit r, we nre not surp. ised that
Reynard paid your chicken coop visit last
week. His vulpine shrewdness perhaps
caused him to think that If there was n
chicken in town the elitor had it. Chats
an awful mistake.)
Last Fall our hen roost was annoyed by
some nocturnal visitor. Almost every night .
"rumpus" took place among the chickens
and next morning some of them would
:'come up missing As our fricni Sam
Habry would say, eve sarched de'eegcntly"
for the cause but failed to find it. At last
one Of the little Voxes fell upon n plan to
stop the trouble, which he did. Ho m.ds
hole in the bottom Of "a old oyster ON and
tied piece of iron in it for n clapper.-
This improviscd bell he hung iu ths treo
and with string he attached it to his bed
post, and would ring the bell when the
chickens made the alarm. The first night
he broke up the trouble aud we have had
none Of it since.
With regard to Kelton Wheors proposition,
l will say Take any number (t matters not
how many figures it takes t, constitute it)
rsuerse the order Of the figures land provi-
ded they don't form the same number both
ways, as, for ins ance, 37073) subtract ~,
less from the greater and the remainder viii
be divisible by 0; so also will the sum of it's
figures added horizontally be divi.ible by o.
From this we readily see that the figure can
celled Tor stricken out) will be that REQUIRED
to make an oven Q, when 9 or 0 is stricken
out. We are unable to tel which it is, but
1t is one or the other, sure.
. BY multiplying the difference between the
numbers formed by rerer,ing the order of
the figures, as suggested above by any num-
Der whatever, doesn't dc stray the uniformity
Of the proceedings,
the sum of the figures (added horiz,ntally)
the same proceedings may be had with the
same accuracy as that above.
Perhaps an example will hotter Demon
Btrate this propositions
Let the number be. ........ ........ 567S2
The sum Of these fignres is. %. 2S
Which subtracted leaasS.::s t'!s-ssN4 ''-~
This number, as wei rs tho sum Of it's
figures is divisiblo by Q. Multiplying it
by any tchote number does not destroy ua
uniformity.
Will Kclton Wheel tell way this is!
Our lady friends will please remember
that fresh water from the spring or we'll ap.
piled to garden plants before the sun r:ses
will prevent the frost from killing them.
We thought we would have hearl som"-T--
thing definite from the phenomenal dis tn'h-
ancc which took place in the Eastern sky
between s and clock p. NJ. on the 18th
inst. The report to us rcsembled the burst
ing of bomb shell in mid air, making the
whole vault of heaven resound with its echo
If it had taken place after night it would
doubtless have been sublime scene. It's
no supernatural! occurrence. Those Of our
caders who have studied Astronomy will
pronounce it an Aerolite, Of which we have
accounts since GIG Is, G. Vox.
