Jas. II. Miles has sweet potatoes SO large
that the cook has to quarter them before
putting them into to the pan to bake.

composes the "milky way" up yonder. far
away. They bruise. wash and kill for
hours, and within short while they are as
numerous as ever. These pests, worms,
however troublesome and numerically
strong may eventually be destroyed. There

Fish scarce. A few grunters are being
caught and they are small. Sharks make
their way into the creeks, scare the fish
and cause them to absent themselves for an
indefinite time. We didn't know IL until
old fishermen assured us of the fact. We
have frequently heard of "land sharks"
and persons who have TO contend with

vague dreams, keep wide awake for their
prey, fall of cunning, and always emerge
through the big end Of the horn. Terrible
creatures, indeed. They must be evil like

Schools are open for the reception of pu-
pills. There they go-pupils. we mean

vice, boys and girls, obey your teachers.
Learn first of all to calmly and quietly do
what is right. Learn obedience in youth.

1t IS real cowariice to be disobedient. Yes,
obey your teachers. You will never regret
doing so in your after life. Webster, JEFF
ferson, Calhoun, Cromwell, the noble Rob-
ert E. Lee, Napoleon, Wellington, all were
school going children. They learned to
obey their teachers, some of whom walked
in the humble paths Of life. Yes, obey
your teachers.
Cool nights prevail and some of our old
and far-sighted neighbors predict cold
winter. One of their signs is plenty OF
gum berries are seen. When these berries
are plentiful it is notable fact that snow
and ice and bitter cold winds are in store
for December, January, February and
March. Despite the GOODNESS mentioned
katydids and crickets are with Us, and they
break the stiffness of night with their mer.
ry noise. Although short lived, they per-
form the tasks assigned them True, they
are not 80 useful as the coral insect which
creates continents-no exaggeration--yet,
they are useful in their way. They were
not made in vain, neither do we believe
that the great God ordained the volcano
and the earthquake for destruction.
George w. WEIGH, ESlr, lost his buggy
horse few days ago. The horse was APP
parently well the last time Mr.. W. saw him
in the pasture with his other horses. He
went into the pasture the following day
and to his sore surprise the animal that he
so greatly priced was dead.
Mr.. Bland, who owns steam saw and
grist mill, lost considerable lumber together
with his tools recently in consequence of
an accidental fire.
