There is prevailing impression that tele-
graph, telephone and electric light compa-
nies have right 10 do almost anything with
the trees on q mans premises in the way Of
muii.ating them TO suit theiE needs, that
they may see tit. This Is all a mistake
Several year. ago the Lancaster County For
esiry Association was instrumental in hav-
ing law passed 10 msst Just such cases. ssv-
eral of which had been brouEh; 10 the no.
tice Of the Society by members whose rights
bad been invaded and whose property had
been injured. such companies have no right
whatever either TO useth trees standing on
a mans premises, OF on the roads or STREETS
outside of il, or TO mutilate OF injure Them
in any way against his wishes or his CON-
mlnd. He can bring suit aud recover dam
ages for such a violation OF his rights, and
We are glad men are availing themselves Of
this legal protection. Several cases rave
been published from time to time, and We
see by the West Chester papers that an az
grieved citizen Of that borough has brought
suit against an electric light company for
wilfuily cutting and mutilating some shade
trees on bis premises. The company was
stringing wires fjr It's plant and were not as
eonsiderate in dealing with the trees as they
were asked 10 be. The offenders were held
for trial at the next term of tie county
court, when they will no doubt learn that
private citizens have some rights which COM
panies using electric wires are bound to re-
spect. A cass or two OF this kind in every
community Will be sufficient to secure oiu-
zens from further outrages in this particular

The Illinois Central railroad has

Naturally, every patriotic Amer
lean wants to go to the Columbian
Exposition, and will go, if possible;
and, just as naturally, the impossi-
bility of going makes the desire
all the stronger to see the beauties
and wonders there displayed.
Whether one goes or not, a souv-
enir of the grandest Exposition of
all time is a desirable thing to
have; and no moro complete or
beautiful one can be had than tho

Our farmers are done their crops,
and pulling fodder is the order of
the day at present. One might
think the LIST Of August late to Just
be done farm work, but with us
this year it is nevertheless a fact
We are having too much rain for
cotton tc do we'll; believe that with
favorable conditions from now on,
cotton will produce a good crop.
Some are expecting the worms to
eat the cotton this year, but if the
worms will let us know in time we
will apply Paris green. Corn crops
are short here, but we think with
the unusual pea and potato crops
planted the short corn crop will be
materially supplemented. A good
ly number of our neighbors and
friends have been absent for the
past two weeks, attending the reg
ular term of the District Court at
Winfield. Your correspondent was
there and met with many old friends
and acquaintances, among whom
we might mention Hon. Geo. A.
Kelly.
Prof. r. L. Jordan is progress
ing finely with his school at the
Gaar's Mill academy. The annual
protracted meeting at New Hope
Methodist church will commence
on Saturday Aug. 18th. Rev. j.
p. Patten win be in attendance,
and Rev. Dennis Fordum of Hoods
Mill is expected to be on hand also.
We hope they will have q good
meeting. Mr.. J. s. Dickinson is
off to Monroe this week to pur-
chase goods.
Revs. j. P. Patten and A. G.
Austin, of Montgomery, passed
through our community last Sun
day, on their way home from
Ouachlta parish, where Mr.. Austin
had been to investigate the killing
of his son, which sad event trans
pired on July 9th. We tender
our heartful sympathy and condo
lence to the bereaved family in
their irreparable loss.
What is the matter with the Far
mers Union? We havn't heard of
their having any meetings in this
section Of the country since last
years election! Come, boys, get q

Union was only intended to run
through the last campaign. Tho

The regular session Of the Indus
trial Home for the Blind, at Baton
Rouge, will begin ON the first Mon
day in October. This is a school
for the blind, not q hospital nor an
asylum. No person over twenty
one will be admitted. Applicants
must be healthy, of sound mind
and good character. Everything
is free, even to travelling expenses
to the school, If parents are not
able to pay them. Prof. Msgruder,
in his circular in behalf of the
school, has this to say:
parents should not allow their
blind boys to smoke or chew to-
baco. They should encourage them
from infancy to move about the
house and grounds without a guide;
should teach and require them to
dress themselves and to comb and
arrange their own hair; to eat with
knife and fork; and to sit and walk
erect The object of the school is
to render the blind self-rsliant, self
helpful and self-supporting, and
parents should begin the work at
home"

claim to be re lieious, add can account
for it in no ct her way than to attribute
il to the sotely oppressed condition OF the
masses: for. as has been cohtended an
preached from the pulpit by the most
eminent divines, it is farcichl in the ex-
treme to preach the blessings Of the true
christian religion to hungry, haif-cloth-
ed human being, and moro especially
when he or she is physically exhausted
from the hardest DIR ugery to maintain u
merely normal existence. The m asses OF
this country are poor, industrious, and
above all (if such can possibly boy honest
to fault. They have families, and are
besides in debt. They are ambitious aud
desire to zee their families provided with
at least the comforts of life, and their
children educated; and, being honest,
they desire to pay their Just debts, and
from this standpoint they work from
daylight until dark, and from Monday
morning until Saturday night. And.
despite their efforts, they grow poorer
every day. They look around them and
become convinced that under these cir
cumstances they can neither reach the
goal 80 long sought for nor lay mp any
thing for rainy day. To the contrary
they sec plainly the poor house looming
up In the distance for them, and life OF
serfdom for .fhe children who have been
the idol OF their heart, and whom they
expect to serve as pillars of support in
their declining years. Talk about preach
ing religion TO these people, when their
minds are in such a state as this? Ire
peat it, it would simply be farcical in the
extreme. First seek out the cause OF
this state Of facts and remove them; let
the people see some bright hopes in the
future, and then the true christian relig-
ion will assert itself. The Geeds have
been sown, but the soil lies dormant and
steril, and is only waiting for the vcrnat
showers Of confidence, and relief from
oppression. When this comes then we
may look for millennium of happiness.
and oil will with one accord sing praises
unto Him who died to redeem the world
from sin.
This communication Is not intended as
political, therefore I shall not give my
Idea of the cause Of affairs, nor the REM
edy therefor; but / feel that my people
are honest, honorable and industrious,
