Mn. EpIToR After having been silen,

readers few hints of what is going ON here.
The weather for the past three weeks has
been rather cool and quite unf.vyr,,,iu fir
young cotton. Cotton chopping is fairly
begun AMI all available hands are called to
the field. The acreage IN this section has
Teen somewhat increased this year, due,
perhaps, To the rise in the price of cotton
last fall. Notwithstanding this, u great
deal Of upland corn has been planted, but it
does not liok very promising on account of
the cold weather.
Fall oats arc fine while Spring oats are
not dong 81 well. (rhs is Just tho oppo-
site to what other correspondents give us of
the Fall and Spring sowing
With the exception Of few places, wheat
Is almost future. (rhis also, is different
to what We have b'cn led TO believe
am requested TO call the attention of the
County Commissioners to section OF the

Tho teacher who waits for appreciation
generally gets it in the shape of an ep'taph.
All the good he does in life is talked of
after he is dead. Right here parents often
stand in the way OF their children's progress
and future prosperity. The teacher, though
he (or she) may do al he can to advance
the children, yet, Mt home the child sften
hears some eaustic or dsrespectful remark
made by its parents that inpairs the 10
Huencc of the teacher upon it, and thereby
ultima'e ruin. But few people seem to
appreciate the fact that the teacher is the
hardest worked, poorest paid AMI least
thanked public servant in the land; and ut
last one of the most indispensable factors
in society. Parents give your teachers your
support or else keep your children at II I'M.
