CULLEoKA, July 5.-July 4tn, one OF
| our notable national holidays, has come
| again. Independence Day has lost none
I of its meaning i'll the lapse of years,
/ though we do not observe the day with
such excitement and demonstration as
! we did a quarter or half century ago.
/ Our patriotism has not abated in the
! least but a serious, earnest feeling has
! replaced the boom OF cannon, hTlng OH
/ guns, display Of fireworks and the ac-
| cOmpauyInG cheers. Quietly we labor
! to further the good and prosperity OF
our Union, that gained its liberty little
! more than hundred years ago, and
! feel that we have just cause to be proud
! or our country and nation that has made
such rapid and substantial progress
! that she Is now on an equalpootIng with
! countries much older. ihe- negro is a
/ little slow about laying aside his cele-
! bratiOns, but to-day IS such a rainy day
! that the pleasure Ofthe Dran-dances and
/ Dicnics viii have to he derived from the
B joyful anticipation.

We have been sincere admirer Of
TrotwOOd's writing, but we hope that
he has not lost sight of the TACT that the
paper does not belong 70 the CORE
spondents, nor yet to MIR. Lander, but
TO the general public. Many things
that appear in our letters are not in
teresLing to Us, but we record thom,
hoping to please some one away from
home. Considering the human frail-
ties, that conceit reignS predominant in
the natures of many people, ana that
tile mere mention Of their names serves
TO establish the paper in their favor and
add new names 90 the SubsCnntlOn list, !
.lrgsnAllgG sntuRt4lngS put
such ruiuEs in our letters. So r5mem- !
Der, Nr. redwood, that oar letters are
not written to Mr.. Lander, for he is too
wise and too busy with deeper matters
TO seriously consider whether our ilsl
of neighb0rhood gossip il Interesting
TO him, but lets them escape 10 be
read bv those for whom they we're in
tended. BARBARA.
