PRINCETON NOTES.

The indications are that a lnajor-
ity Of the farmers have forgotten
the close experience of 1894-95 and
are going into cotton more extern
sively than for the past three or
four years. In the language OF
Pagan Martin you had better
"watchW
Considerable farm work has been
done and the generalimproyement
of lands is very noticeable.
Dat sowing continues with every
opportunity, but there is a decid-
eddy fall off in the acreage of small
grain.
A six year old child Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Caldwell was buried at the
Cemetery on last Sunday. Rev.
Joe A. Martin conducted the fune-
raj services. Measles was the
cause. The entire family have been
laid up with the measles. They
have the sympathy of the commu-
nifty in their affection and bereavc-
ment.
Measles and unfavorable weather
have greatly interfered with school
work.
Very littleinterest is manifested
as yet in regard to politics But it
is rather early for much specula-
ton in futures. However u COM
mon expression with men of all
faction is that. they are tired of
politics and the abominable liquor
law.

From the Columbia State.
Edgeheld, Feb. 27.-Rev. Sam P.
Jones lectured here last night to u
delighted audience. To-day he
preached in the Opera House. The
house was packed to it's utmost
capacity.
His subject was "The philosophy
Of prayer" While he hit hard
many times, his sermon had won
derful effect.
I have never been present but
n time before when the preacher
was applauded. This happened
to-day when, after doing up" gen.
orally the dispensary, he said:

necked white-apron scoundrel who
stands behind his counter and deals
out his damnable stuff in order to
make money to feed his family /;

throats Of her citizens for the
money there is in Tiny God! To

LEWIS j., little son of MIR, and Mrs.

February Is, 1896.
Although only a babe Of only fifteen
months it has fulfilled it mission on the
earth and God has taken the little one
back to himself, and it joins it's baby
voice in prayer around the great White
Throne with all the blood-washed throng
who have crossed over the river. He
sends these precious little ones into orr
homes, and how soon do they entwine
around our hearts and affections, bring
ing new joys and happiness around our
hearth stones. But oh, how hard to
stand by and see the Death. Angel bear
no one knows but those who have been
called on to pass through such q trial
yet let us remember that it is our loving
Heavenly Fathers hand that does this,
and he never makes a mistake. Precious
Saviour, we give them to do Thee who
said while on earth
Suffer tho little children to come unto me
and forbid them not; for of such is the
Kingdom OF Heaven.
