Board at the most reasonable
rates can be had here for pupils who
attend the academy this summer.
Rev. w. F. Barrier will deliver a
discourse to the little folks next
Sunday. Parents are invited to
bring the children
'Archieville" was the name of this
place up to 1872. A note given in
that year reveals this fact,
Mr.. Will Walk bought the stock
of goods of F. E. Bowers at Coving-
ton and is moving it to Bride.
A gentleman from Haywood coun-
ty is here prospecting and will
probably erect a large mill and gin.
No man does more good just now
than Bill CIV H. Thomas with his
force of blacksmiths and wood work
men. Bill is a jim-dandy and a
genius in his line.
Garland merchants give the farm
ers employment in the fall and
spring hauling to and from Mem
phis. There are towns on the rail
road that could force the reduction
of freight by doing likewise.
OF all the fine lands on the Hatchie
slope from above Rialto to the riv-
er s mouth there is none so rich or
presents a more pleasing appear
ance than that just below Garland.
The Rye Patch" is here, said to
be the richest spot in the county.
But the finest view, disclosing to
the eye hundreds OF acres with
blocks of wheat, corn and cotton in
cultivation, and glistening in the
bright sunshine, is on the high
ridge in the vicinity of Mr.. Gabe
Wilson's place. 1t is a pleasant
sight to look upon 1t is cultivated
entirely by white people and done
in neat and satisfactory manner.
AT colored meeting some time
since part of the exhortation was
as follows Some NV desc days
you is gwi6e ter die, an Gawd is
gwine ter raise de golden window.
gwine to lbok out, gwine ter say, 1
bleve | SEQ somebody comm gwfne
to say THAI must be old John Shan
kle, gwine to say go-o-o-er way
from hear John Shankle, fur you
ain t done what I tole yer to do. -
And he went for other backsliders
who were present besides John,
making it plain in his way that the
way of the transgressor is hard
and getting harder
Garlands neat residences and
substantial business houses would
attract the attention of the most
casual observer. Its handsome
church and substantial school build
ing would be especially noticeable,
besides it's splendid location, being
situated just between the finest bot
tom and hill lands in the county.
Its school building has been the at
traction which caused so many neat
and handsome residences, and to
take retrospective view, it can be
said that many young men and ladies'
have obtained an education and re-
ceived advantages which never
would have been offered without the
high school at Garland. 1t is located
In rich country, with the most
successful farmers as it's patrons,
and will prove a veritable blessing
In the end to many of the youths
who live between Detroit and Bride
and elsewhere who may wish to
study the higher branches. Prof.
Robson, whose term will commence
again in July, has but few equals as
an educator in the county. People
who educate their children and
learn them how to work also know
that at periods the process of edu-
cation is tiresome. yet they know
that nothing can be more beneficial
and enduring. It cannot be done
without some trouble and expense.
