(Special)-Mr. T. w. Fenner's house
caught fire two days ago and there was
considerable excitement for awhile. but
the fire was extnguished without any Sc
rious damage.
Your correspondent has been on trip
through some Of the lower counties, and
the farm prospects are good. People are
already planting corn. and preparation Tor
the general crop Is far advanced. In this
community there has been a surprisingly
large amount Of work done in this month.
Rev. Mr.. Nann preached last night Il
sermon In his series on the Ten COM
mandments. His sermon was on stealing
and when his congregation retired almost
every one felt like he was guilty OF some
kind OF theft. Every sort OF THEFT from
defrauding the government down 10 horse
trading was dealt with. The preacher
said that of the reasons for so much dis
honesty. two are principal namely. the
desire to get something without WORKING
for il. and the desire to become rich lie
said he feared that although the coiored
man is charged with stealing money
chickens. pigs. and the like he is not
more guilty than many OF the white peo-
ple though their stealing Is of different
kind. Every yard-stick ought to be thirty
six inches long, nothing more and nothing
less: every quart pot ought to hold ex-
| civ two plnts; every pound weight ought
TO be exactly the same when man sells
as when he buys.
