will soon have the golden leaf on
the market, and that means money
to them. Suppose all of them
were out of debt, with the crop
prospect now, some say that they
would be too independent, hut we
do not believe that. for God in
His wise providence constituted
man a dependent creature. We
are more or less dependent, one
upon another, and all upon
God, the giver of every good and

We yer glad to see what you
had to say last week on two of
the most nauseating characteristics
which ever dsgraeed any human
being-scandaf and back.biting.

help to do SO, we have done all in
our power to destroy Gods pur-
pose in creating man. 'sDeliver
my soul, o Lord. from lying lips
and from a deceitful tongue

Miss Ella Howell spent Sunday

all her friends here.
Mrs. Julia Sasser, wife of our
lamented friend DR.. l.. L. Sasser,
is visiting at the ~hospitable home
of Mr.. A. L.. Sasser.
Mr.. Henry Massey, of Fremont,
was in our section last Friday,
with a view of buying property.
We trust he will decide to make
his home among us.
There was quite ar enjoyable
sociable given at the residence OF
Mr. W. H. Neal one night last
week, and the young people all
say they had a delightful time.
Walden Rose has a very fine colt
which he thinks almost as much OF
as he does his wife q. One eve.
ming last week his coitship kicked
up when his owner was too near
him for comfort and safety, and
in consequence Walden now nurses

it, and found it necessary to put
in three stitches, but it is healing
nicely.
The peaceful dreams OF the
Mooring family have again beer
disturbed, and their confidence IL
the neutrality-suspicious. measures
used upon them T questioned.
A pig which a bitten by tbs
same dog which bit them developed
the disease one day last week, and
after being confined, would pounce
upon a stick or anything put neal

boys count on a good time an6
being victorious, but that remains
to be seen.
There was a whiskey still cap
tured in our neighborhood ont
night last week, in full blast. Nc
one was in charge but a small boy
and when last heard from he was
still running. We have not ha6

We regret very much to see TIT

characterizes the controversy o
Drs. Kilgo and Kingsbury. It i
strange that men cannot argue
