considerable advancement in the
schools this year. We havs some
excellent local teachers over the
county. One of the most serious
defects which l observe in the
workings Of our schools, is the fact
that so many children are permit

OF school altogether, or to attend
so irreguiarly as to promote Meth.

A Coed Bill.

Delegate Johnson, OF Mon Ios
county, has introduced into the
House bill that should receive the
approval Of every member of the
Legislature. The object Of the bill
is to require publication in the
newspapers of the list of delinquent
taxpayers returned by the sheri e in
his settlement with the County
Court, and for which list he gets
credit in the settlement. The meas
ure is one of wise public policy aud
will be the means of saving hun
dreds of dollars to the State aud
counties. The Sheriff, knowing
that this list will be published, will
be stimulated to the utmost dill
gence in the collection of taxes in
order to make tho best showing
possible before the people, who
have paced him in Office. The
law, too, will be a great help to t he
Sheriff, and will greatly facilitate
his labors, for it will stimulate the
people to pay promptly and on the
days appointed by. the Sheriff to
meet them in the various districts
OF his county. There are few men,
however poor and humble. who
would not pay the small amount Of
tax assessed against them rather
than have their names published in
the county newspaper As delinquent.
We know OF no good objection that
can bs urged to the bill, and, for
the reasons above assigned, hope it
may DO passed. --Grcen brier, w.

DR.. Alexander then read the scrip

Jones announced the hymn, which
was followed by the sermon. DIR.
Alexander announced .as his text a
portion of the XLVth Psaln,-
walk about Zion and go round
about her." etc. The sermon was
appropriate, well arranged, full of
beautifully illustrated imagery, and
was apparently well enjoyed by the
audience which flled the church.
The pastor made q very clear state
nent OF the history OF the moves
ment to build the new church,
though, owing to the absence Of
the treasurer Of the building GEM
mittee, Hon. G. w. DALEY, a strict
ly acc rate financial statement
could not be made. He stated that
about niue hundred collars Of tho
seven thousand which the chu rch
had cost remained to be provided
for, and invited thoss present to
contribute. A collection was then
taken amounting to $4I7, after
which the dedicatory prayer was
offered by the pastor. Rev. j. II.

sung, and the services closed with
the benediction by DR.. Alexander.
The church Is OF brick, with slate
roof, the brick being painted and
penci'ed. while the wood part OF
the finish is painted in very soft
and pleasant shades Of drab. The
windows are of stained glass, and
are beautifully decorative. The
inside finish is Of native woods,

Inc oldest cucumber In the World.
In the course OF pleasant visit
from Mr.. Isaac Herrioty of Fo1's
Hollow last Saturday Ewho by tho
way ls one of our annual January
callers to renew i'm adyance) we
heard OF what will doubtless be adj
mitted to be the oldest cucum Der
in the world. 1t came to maturity
under tho ira ned hand OF Mr. Her
riotts grandmother ia tho fall Of

General Jackson was chosen the
second time to be President of tho
United States, and h g lived throue h
every campaign from that on to
the present, and il it had had a
vote, we doubt not that it would
have been cast for the successful
ticket last fall. At any rate, it Is
proposed to send it to the Worlds
Fair next summer, and il may be
fairly questioned il any cucumber
in the world Of moro recent growth
will attract so much attention. It
is in a square glass bottle with a
mouth not half 20 large in diane
ter as itself, and yet, it is in per-
feet shape and color, with tho ex-
ception that it has a little Drowned

pie, have a fashion OF inclining 70

How did Mrs. Herriott get it in
