weakness and Strength.
We are informed by the sacred
writer that upon certain occasion,
when Jesus more fully explained
his personality and mission,
some OF His pretended adherents
"were offended and walked with
Him no more" 1t may have been
that those persons who were offend
ed were only after the "loaves and
fishes,'' or it may be that they rep
resented certain other Characters
tics of human nature. The boys
always follow the brass band.
Some people 60 with the crowd, and
not few people must have things
their own way, or refuse to 60 at
all. The class that follow the null
titude, or weuld-bs "bell" sheep or
no sheep at all, are generally det-
riment in any reform movement. 1t
il not the emotional, effervescent,
frothy natures that can be relied
upon for a long, hard campaign.
The shallow nature is easily offend
ed Benedict Arnold would have
remained true to the cause Of hui
man liberty if he had been appoint
ed commander in chief OF the
American army. The brass band,
or hurrah period of the labor move
ment is over. Its novelty period
has passed, and tho boy class Of
adherents will either advance to the
maturity of men, or will go off with
the brass band, and the wOuld-be
leaders, if not given the promi-
nsnce their egotism Graves, will
betray the cause by deserving to
the enemy.
If SO great leader a. Jesus of
Nazareth could not hold all the
multitude in adherence; if 80 holy a
cNuse as that of the American revO-
luton contained an Arnold, it will
not be surprising if the labor move
ment will find within its ranks
many promised adherents who will
be defended" by and by. When
froth and treason shall have shown
itself, it may be hailed as the sure
harbinger of success, and yet it
NAV discourage the faithful and
check the movement. No human
foresight can hinder the thinning
out process. 1t has been, it is
part of every reform movement, and
the friends of reform need not feel

Monotony reigns almost supreme in our
vicinity, as nothing of importance has trans
pired for some time save the common routine
duties of domestic and social life among our
citizens. Some excitement however has been
caused by the report of mad dog having
passed through the neighborhood, few days
ago, which bit several other dogs.

On Thursday morning of last week some of
our town people started out with their guns
in different directions for the woods, and
before sun-up they were bringing down the
squirrels at a lively rate. We are safe in
saying there were between rs and 100 shot on
Thursday and Friday. o. A. Haines, it
appears, is the champion, as he brought down
five with one shot.
John Stonesifer, of Mount Pleasant, had a
runaway and smash up in this place on Sun
day evening last. Mr.. Stonesifer and lady
drove up in front of Bosses Hotel, between
9 and 10 o'clock. just as they alighted a
dog scared the horse, which started to run.
Mr. Stonesifer had hold of the reins, and
after being thrown and dragged short dis.
lance he dropped them and the horse turned
the corner at Church street at high rate of
speed, striking the paling fence in front of I.
F. Kesselrings, turning the buggy upside
down. After the buggy was turned over the
horse did not get far. We were soon at the
scene of the accident, and noticed that the
horse had dragged the buggy, with only the
harness on his neck, short distance and was
standing with his head facing the ruined
buggy. Fortunately no one was hurt.

9Th, '92, with but three teachers-one TO be
supplied when needed. I am happy TO state
that opening with LOG pupils, as it does. clear
