CHERRY GROVE.

The time is not far distant when the
time will expire for the present system
of text books used by public schools
of this county, We want to agitate the
question and call to the minds of our
school directors that there is a great
responsibility resting on them and the
County Superintendent in the adoption
OF a series of books, and that at q
standard or given price that will not
rob the patrons of our public schools
in indeavoring to supply their children
with books, and another feature that
should be seen after and that is that
the binding of the books should he
worthy of the price affixed, and when
our worthy directors are called together
for the purpose of adopting books for
another period, we trust they will not
let some slick tongued lawyer or book
agent pull the wool over their eyes and
get them to adopt books that puts sew.

under the great financial depression of

economy. Hoping to hear from others
on this subject we close for the present.

OBITUARY.
REV. D. A.

On the night of December 1S, 1894,
Rev. d. A. Thompson, q local elder in
the Methodist Episcopal Church, breath
ed his last, and is now numbered with
the long line of the noble dead.
He. was born June Z, 1928. Was con-
verted in early life and became a loyal
adherent of Methodism. Bro. Thomp-
son was married twice. First, to Miss
Nancy A. Harrison, August 10, 1850.
To them were born six daughters.
The years Of this union were happy
ones, but like all of the unions and ten
der ties of earth, death brought them to
an end. On August 10, 1857, she said
good bye to husband, home and loved
ones, and her soul escaped, we trust, to
repose on the bosom of God.
His second marriage was to Miss Car
rie E. Kelley, April 8, 1871. To them
were born eight children, five sons and
three daughters.
Bro. Thompson was permitted to see

A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT '94
AND THEREAFTER.

AND THEREAFTER.
The political ~upheaval of "a has it's
far reaching uses and benefits.
1t was by showing the woes and mis-
fortunes invariably attendant upon
Democratic supremacy, and to what
lengths of desperation and crime Dem
ocracy will unblushingly go before it
surrender its baleful rule. Its benefits
in demonstrating that the policy of the
Republican party is one of supreme
wisdom and intelligence, and having
brought the country safely and tri.
umphantly through all the fearful
c~risises that have overtaken it in the
last thirty five years, that this party
alone is capable of controlling our vast
national interests.
The revolution of last fall, which
dislodged the Democracy from its
strongest citidels and made doubtful
States solidly Republican, brought in
a new and unexpected era of promise
and hope. 1t babe the fossil cursed
South a hearty welcome to q manly,
sturdy independence. Its resistless
sweep left hoary and cheIished Demo
cratic traditions stranded upon the
utter desolation it left in its wake.
With the crushing force of the hammer
of Thor it broke the wand of Democrat.
ic invincibility. Like an ocean of
light ~cleaving the midnight heavens it
revealed to the hampered and retarded
South a gloriied vision of future pos
sibilities, and opened the way for her
speedy emancipation from he tyranny
of sectional prejudices and hate, and
the infamy of the most vicious methods.
This remarkable revolution serves
notice on the veteran conservers of
sectionalism that their Occupation is
gone" that they must abdicate and
stand not on the order of theirg DING"
At the same time it calls the young,
vigorous, intelligent, progressive, pat
riotic manhood of the South to the
front line.
Notably is this the case in our own
State and its grand old mother lying
beyond the blue peaks of our southern
border. The election of Hon. III, CLAW
