ETA JANE, May 2.-The recent high
water in Thickety Greek damaged the
bridge at Goudelocks {, rd, so rs to render it
impossible, but we learn that Mr.. James
Garner has the contract for repairing il.
While we don't wish to ask our county COM
missioners TO contract more debts under the
depressed financial condition Of our county,
yetlwe do hope. .they will seosths propriety
Of building y gold substantial bridge at that
point in place of the little dangerous trap
that has been ia use there for several years.
The Star Farm and Goudeysville NO ghbor-
hood number among their citizens as many
good men and women io proportion to popu
lation rs any part Of the County or State,
and pay their taxes rs promptly aud rs
Patrioticllly as anybody, and we think they
ore outitled to MS good, safe and respectable
public convenieuces rs the people Of any
other part of the cpuhty.
7. J. Orr, Esq, died at his home last
Thursday night, after q short illness. He
was an acting Trial Justice, and we think
one Of the most conscientious men we ever
knew. OF tho circumstances attending his
death We are unable 10 speak at present,
but will, perhaps, say something hereafter.
lis was buried at Skull Shoals last Saturday
| by the Masonic fraternity Of which he was a
| member.

potamia yesterday with II names. Mr..
A. Goforth is Superintendent.
Rev. J. ID. Bailey expects to attend the

Tho consequence of what seems to be
| typographical error in the aunoun cement
that the County Teachers Association will
meet on Saturday Sth of May i, misleading.
We don't know but think it i, intended for
Saturday 18th of May. Hope the correction

We noticed Jim Parker's sign for dry
weather tho other night, viz /: THE "big
star passed on the north side of the moon"
Jim was an odd boa man and belonged to Mr..
Reese Parker, who went frc IN this neghbor-
hood to Arkansns in 1858. Our readers can
watch the sign for themselves hereafter.

In our Sunday school lesson yesterday we
| led that many made a mock at David's
sin who say nothing of his repentance. II
is enough for them to road in one place that
he was n man after Gods own heart; and in
another tha, ho committed these great aims.
and forthwith they turn the battery Of their
scorn ON the religion Of the Biole. But all
such procedure is unreasonable. David did
not sin because he way a man according to
Gods own heart, but in spite of his being
so; while it he had not been In the maiu a
godly man he would have remained in his
sin, and would have taken no step Of sny
sort TO acknowledge his guilt, or to raise him.

"Our lives are songs God writes tho
words,
And we set lem in music at pleasure;
And the song grows glad, or sweet or sad,
As swe choose to fashion The measure.
We must write the music, whatever the
song,
Whatever is rhyme or meter;
IT i is 8 Il we can make it lad,
Or if sweet, we GGp make it sweetsr."
Our friend, X. W. Davis says he used
three tons Of commercial fertilizers last year
with no profit. This year he is using ten
(lO) tons Of economy and hard work, and he
looks for more satisfactory results than he has
had heretofore. ,Yoy.
