ingly descended from the portals Of
! Heaven.
! NO cloud above, no earth below
A universe Of sky and snow"
Such is the condition Of our littl"
town at this writing. and your cp"rrS-
pondent, while musing on its present
''setbacks' and bcnehcent effects. is
reminded that time has passed many u
pearly depot since last we made our
selves heard through the columns Of
the dear old SENTINEL. So we have
concluded, this morning while we are
housed within our domicile. to accept
your invitation and come again. We
hope that our visits are not so few and
far between that you will recognize us
as a complete wanderer from the field
of punctuality, or that our nature is
like the noliar harp, awaits the in
spiration OF the passing breeze; for We
truly have been cast about with so
many weights that We have not had
time to lay aside and fall in with your
great procession OF readers.
Many important things have charac-
teriZed events since last we We're with
YOU, but our town fully keeps up with
the situation and seems at all times to
act on these words by some philoso-
pher of the age: This is an age OF
running, and woe unto him who stops
to tie his shoe-strings. Mcssrs Law
renee and Montgomery have two nice,
cozy dwelling houses under conslruc-
ton and about ready for occupation,
and we have one new mercantile firm.
Our school is doing well and has re-
ccived quite number Of new pupils
since the holidays. A young gentle
man came in Monday from AlabaH;a
The second finale comes OH on the
9th, inst. which will be another cor
ner stone laid in its progress. Miss
Mode Moore, OF your city. is presiding
with ease and dignity over the music
department, and If indefatigable ener-
nv will win. she is certainly success:
besides. Miss Modie has many rare
accomplishments as musical lnstruc-
tor.
Prof. Montgomery has gotten him
self married. and he and his best half,
wrapped in the solitude of their cwn
compnnionship, seem to be rs happy
y as angels sliding down a buttered ram
r bow His wife is gentle in manners
social in disposition and pleasant III
appearance and will make Prof. NJ, |;
most cstimable life companion.
Mr.. /, A. Brown. who owns large
cattle interests in Wyoming and Mon,
> tana, has been spending some I'm"
with his hospitable brother; Nr' j. II
Brown, H. il Il whole e-souIcd gentle
man, full of energy and business capAc,'
ity, He can tell some interesting incl
dents about life in the West. his hunts
for buffalo and antelope. He says We
could make handsome money here tat
tening our cattle and shipping them
either to Chicago or New Orleans. But
there is full many gem here born 10
blush unseen: and never to be tasted BY
a southern heir" | saw the returns OF
some of his cattle. shipped to Chicago,
at S45 per head: and he says We can uo
almost equally us well with our cattle
by giving them little attention.
Mr.. L. r. Turner, formerly OF Gre
NADIA, WAS here on business this week
Mr.. Turner is jovial in manners, inter:
estipe in conversation. and we would
he Glad to have him with Us oftencr.
Quite a number of our white tenants
have folded their tents and are attemp'
ting to seek consolation in Oklahoma
in the hope. l suppose, Of attaining
wealth by absorption or OF converting
grapevine juice into prosperity. Bu,
thev will find it there us it is IN old
Mississippi work for what you get
and too. that people will want them tc
pay for what they have gotten.
Farmers are pretty we'll supplied
with labor, and believe are just in !;
situation now, if properly utilized, tt
make this one Of the most prosperous
wears in our history. There is more
corn in the country than there has
been at this season Of the year for !:
long time, more money than there was
: at this time last year, and meaGcrness
fiuancies certainly ought to have sui
ficieptlv drilled Us to prepare US 10,
thoughtful action. They the farmers
must remember that the cotton belt i:
being all the time enlarged. so the
thing for us to do is to cut down Vac
acreage. Texas contains about 265, 600.
600 square miles while Mississippi onl,
has about 45.O00.mO square miles: thu
tit will be seen that Texas is about four
tifths us large rs all the other cotton
districts in the United States together
and is being constantly settled up, an'
if we want to balance this increase 0
citizenship there. we must cut our acre
age half in too Then will hard times
foever depart out Of the land which tn
great God "who guides above and rule
below has permitted us to enjoy.
