Carolina people a poor chance to sell
their fruit this year, for within the
last week or two nice apples have been
brought from North Carolina and sold
for twenty cents per bushel. The
schools of this District will continue
one month longer than usual. The de-
batting society at Hunters School
House is still climbing the ladder, and
the members should feel proud of its

so delighted with it that their presence
adorns every meeting, which makes it
more interesting, and they are not
afraid to swap words with the young
stump speakers. Mad dogs are still
at large in neighborhood; only one
