IeWn from Wapth D>~-s-A

a BrrS yAss. March From the number
ofjuror's witnesses and suitors who have
passed here siuce early yesterday morninn6
and are sill going We think North Pacol.tN
will be ~ell represented at Court this week.
Most Of the cases arising in our section
have BEEN sueh ~ the different parties could
afford to settle outside or the Court and We
sase. x'ad is report that they have doae 90 sin
sss sssiS Is sssstiy 3 }sprossd, 20 s' =
xs the TEist Justice Courtss am co5seery 49,
by the. State or County refusing'o psy
nulia bona costs in cases less than felonies.
We have various good reasons for this sug-
eesiion which we could give our readers in
case We had the time aud space to do So.
The propriety Of the position will suggest it
self at once TO any thoughtful mind.
Veriiable winter eet in last Friday even
ing, followed by spirited snow storm, sa'ur-
day evening. But the ground was too warm
and the melting process began at once, and
thus tho rabbits arc still o. X.
Our garden plots ore still in their MD
winter repose. The 18th Of Feb. Valentines
day, didn't seem to be worth n cent to them.
Is it possible that this "record breaking"
process has taken hold Of the horticulturis's,
too?
Rev. A. A. Gilbert was taken quite SICK
suddenly at MIR. Wm. Byer's last Saturday
Of h not being at Mesnpotamia on Sunday
following, as intimated in our last weeks
letter. Prompt medical attention and kind
rro.idon';~l oArs soon enabled him to return
t. bis home ut Gaffney City, where at last
accounts he was Improving.
His people have lc,rned to tnke failure
patiently knowing that notbiog but provideu-
tial hinierauces keep him from work. We
hope soonto have him among us ,in.
Our answer TO Mr.. j. l.. Walkers ques-
ton a9 given in our last weeks letter is
$2244 .65.
We hope some one will give us an elabo
rate demonstration Of the principle upon
which it is worked.
Drovcs of mules and horses are still pass.
ing through our neighborhood in quest OF
purchasers. From the amount Of stock sold
in the county each year it seems as if there
could be no market for work animals now.
In few weeks, when people are "pit ching
their crops We will doubtless hear Of
scarcity of horse power on some farms.
What becomes of oil those mules-ihey don't
die about here-not many of them. Waddy
Osment says he never saw or heard tell Of Q
dead gray mule and he has no recollection Of
ever hearing any body else sny they had.
have heard people sa7 they never faw
doc or's grave.
What Intelligent answer will some S. s.
scholar or teacher give to this question:
Why was it that when Geha1i obeyed tha
command of his master, Elisha, and p'acs.t
the staff on the face Of the dead child that
lie was not restored to life?
We have received a number Of answers to
our question, whdt is that still small poice.
The focal centre Of thought is, that it is the
human conscience.
"At last n voice, both still and small
Rose swGetly on the ear
Yet rose so clc,r and shrill, that all
In heaven and earth might hear.
II spoke of peace, it spoke of love,
1t spoke rs angels speak above;
That God himself was there"
