Chicago, April 1S.-ChicagO is to be
the center of a great union Of organi-
cations, composed of German-Ameri-
cans, who are antagOnistic to any
plans that would bring about an alli-
ance between the United States and a
foreign power. This was the enthu-
siastic sentiment Of the representa-
tives Of two score of Germanic socie-
ties last night at Scheller hall Offers
Of hearty cooperation were received
from half q dozen cities scattered
throughout the country.

Wexford Items.

Wexford, p. o., Greene Co., Miss, alias
Postum corner.
MIR. Editor-Having nothing else to do,
and as l feel great interest in your
paper, concluded to give you few dots
in regard to this, our corner of creation,
or in palmer words, the land of lightwood
knots and high land tarrapins,
We are having the advantage of good
school at present, conducted by Miss
Belle Moody, as principal, and | will say
that The lady is certainly doing her part
to perfection, the pupils that are in re-
gular attendance show that no pains are
spared in their behalf; some of the patrons
are shamefully Iemises in not sending the
children regular, as the power of educa-
ton is within the reach of all, thanks be
to the good government of our county
officials, and as education is about all the
legacy poor people can leave their chill
dren. we should all strive to convey as
much of that to the young mind as pos
sible. In travelling around you. can hear of
more kicks from the people of all settle
ments in regard to public schools than
any other thing and when the county
opens a school for the tuition of the
Youthful minds not more than half the
children have the chance of attending.
So Mr.. Editor, according to the mind of
the writer, the fault lies at the door of
the patrons and not on the school board.
So l will say no more for this time in re-
gard to the literary training of our young
folks, but take pleasure in noting that
the good people of this neghhc~N"Na have
,,,,a7 -, ~ much needed and prom
sing Sabbath School, and are looking
forward to the interest of souls as well as
to Literary Training. So, FIR. Editor,
if you don't consign this to the waste
basket You will hear again from
PUMPKIN JIM.

Business is flush here at present. We
have a good sawmill with Vaughn &
White proprietors. They are selling lots
of lumber in this section and shipping
a great deal on the NJ. J. & X. c. Rail
road. They also conduct hrst-class
store, selling goods at low prices. Geo.
Mallette has the contract to furnish this
mill with logs, and gives employment to
IA number of men.
We have three turpentine plants in this
section that employ large numbers of men,
both white and colored. Messrs. Mallette
and McCrary has a turpentine still at
Brushby and Mr.. Rayford has one there
also. Mr.. Crooms has one at Goose

Editor Although not n subscri-
Der to the Herald, am nevertheless, its
friend, and wish it much prosperity, and
hope it, and it's editors may live to be-
come household words in the old county
of Greene.
As yet, l have not seen anything from
this quiet little hamlet, and thought a
few dots would be appreciated. News is
not plentiful here unless the pleasant
warm weather would be called news
Rain seems to predominant, and mars
much of pleasant warm January wea-
Their.
Planting gardens has progressed to
some extent in this locality but is retard-
ed on account of the frequent rains,
keeping the ground too wet.
On last Saturday evening the family of
your scribe had very pleasant visit from
those two popular and estimable young
ladies. Miss Lizzie Daughdrille and Miss
HELEN Carter, and Mr.. J. E. johnson.
Miss Lizzie is the popular and efficient
principal of tie Skull Fork school. |
can't say to what extent, the ladies enjoy
ed their visit, but think from what |
could see. they had very pleasant time.
j. E. johnson, 1 am pretty confident,
enjoyed his part of it hughly and | think
he regretted very much to see the hour ar
rive when he would have to take the
parting hand. Mr., Johnson is very pop
ular with the young ladies, or they are
popular with him, don't know just how
to put it-perhaps its both.
A young lady in this neighborhood
caught fire q mean her dress) few days
ago, and came near being seriously if not
fatally burned.
A. l.. West killed a large otter yester-
day, and fine turkey gobler to-day.

From Vernal.

Editor Herald-You may be surprised
to hear from me at this point, but have
been soiourning in the Vernal community
for several weeks. After protracted
illness on the coast l was advised to re-
turn to my native pine hills. So leaving
nv faithful companion to spend lonely
Christmas, fill the position to which l
was elected, and care for our little ef-
feets, 1 took my departure, arriving
lust before the holidays. Am feeling
much improved, but have not been able
TO mingle among the people very much.
The rights of matrimony were celebrat-
ed between Mr., Will Dickerson and Miss
Gale Eubanks, at the residence of the
BRIDES parents on the 9Th inst 1t was
a very quiet affair, only a few Ut the rel
atives being present. We extend to the
happy couple our warmest congratula-
tions. and wish them peaceful, happy
and successful voyage upon the matri-
monial SEA-
} Christmas was very quiet in this imme
date community. Exercises appropriate
to the occasion were held at the Verna
Presbyterian church by Rev. A. G. Fer
guson. X. X.
