We cannot see what this year will bring
forth as "crop" Of news. but j hope that
your correspondents, Mr.. Editor, viii secure
enough Of interesting matter 10 aid you in
making !, truly an interesting county paper;
and hope ali u the correspondents old and
new and new ones from every section will
come and give US the news, for / know that
we all enjoy hearing from other sections Of
the county. We want to know what is going
on. To those who wish to try and join us, 1.
would say, from my experience, it is very
pleasant position 10 be in. 1t calls forth
many pleasant associations, as we feel that
we have sort Of brotherhood feeling towards
each other. We sometimes have little spurts
and receive some sharp thrusts from each
other as we differ in our means Of matters
and things, but it is net inimical, and we
really feel drawn close TO each other. We
get some scoldings, and are very often CON-
planned of for what we write, and are re-
proved for whs, we do not write. And here,
let me take the opportunity 10, ask my
friends to send me oil the bits of news, that
come under their notice, aud l will do. my
best to put it iu the right shape, aud be very
thankful. Some have already kindly helped
me in this why.
The Sunday School Convention which met
at Beulsh Christmas week was another
pleasant event Of the season. The weather
was too inclcment for many to attend, but

were we'll plessej, as it was both instructive
and enjoyable.

This Union is now contemplating scheme
to offer premium 10 the member who raises
the best corn crop, and the most meat per
plow he runs 1t is intended, l think, for
each sub Alliance composing ttis Union to
give premium 10 the one winning, among
it's members, and then the Union to give one
at large. 1t is thought by this means, to
create new interest in "hog and hominy"
up to be self-sustsiung. There is already
much interest being shown in the move, and
talk of beginning reparalions is heard:
We are having v,ry rainy weather, and
there is not much prospect Of any oat sowing
this month. The roads are very muddy,
and makes travel ofany kiud very disagreea
BILE. Where the reads have not been prop
erly drained, rs they could be, and the water
is left to run along the road, or seep from the
hanks into il 'hc- uepIorao:v. 1t Is not
every overseer in this county that knows
how to work a rond, or they dou't care.
