n fellow who has been to college is

what arc you going to do when some
cruel hearted fellow button-holcs Won
and, after complimcnting you on your
high grade ut college, demands that
you take one side Of the following sim
pic proposition, stick to it aud give
positive proof that you arc right: a
hunter was trying to shoot Il squirrel,
which kept on the opposite side Of the
tree from him and moved around rs he
did. The hunter finally found that he
had gone entirely around the tree: had
he gone around the squirrel? Tablcuu:
The crr"l hearted fellow goes strutting

and trying to collect enough Of the
scattered fragments Of his mind TO put

We have just returned from Il week :
sojourn in the country, and feel that
We have been greatly y ben, lifted by our
"trip. We spent several days in the ST.
Philips community. one Of the wor
thy citizens Of ,nat lively community
Informed us that his corn is so small
that it is likely to miss the stalk when
it begins to "shout." We got sorry Tor
him and plowcd about an hour for him,
aud to further show our sympathy We
took dinner with him. \ nlcr rain fell
on "Wednesday evening, and it. being
Too wet to plow the next day, another
one OF those hustlrrs down there
hitchcd up his team and inviting MS to
go with him which We gladly did. He
set out for Mr.. Caleb I}uHhurdt's wheat
mill. This WAS an enjoyable tri p and
we were greatly impressed with the
prospects for good crops along this src-
ton of the Buncombc road. We next
found ourselves in the vicinity of po-
maria. We spent Friday night with
MIR. j. i. Kinard, and on Saturday at
tended the meeting of the Central Lu-
ther League at s.. lauls. The day
! was pleasant h;s; 0;9iiil ~ Il misundcr-
standing concerning the change of date
the attendance was not rs large as it
would otherwise have been. The dis
cussion Of the topics, however, was ami
mated and very interesting. We arc
sorry we were too late TO attend the
meeting Of the local league on Sunday
| evening following; but we were told hy
! one Of the leading members that that
! league would survive the confusion and
| i'll feeling caused by the change Of date
We were at church in the morning and
had the pleasure Of hearing one Of Rev.
| J. a. Sigh y excellent sermons. 1t has
| been many years since we attended ser
vices at St. l'aul's, but there are many
associations connected with the place
! and the people which will grow dcarrr
| and more precious as the years go by
and happy rrcollccti0ns live. It was
| here that the sainlcd Major Jacob Ep-
| ting took MS into his Sunday School and
[ gave us Il little cutrchiSm while we
were yet too small To read. In later
years we went TO school at St. l'uul'~,
and today rs we turn back to live for II
moment in the memory of the past it is
with the greatest pleasure that we re-
call the names OF our school friends,
old and young, among the AullS, BE-
drnhanghs, Eptings, Kiblrrs, Kinards,
| Shcalys, Wickcrs and others. Some
| have passed away into the great un-
| known: some have married and some
| have taken up their abode in other
States.
We next turned up in the old Dutch
| Fork section and rs il characteristic
| Of those people we found them living AT
| home and boarding at the same place
| But our letter is growing long and VIC
must close though the half OF ON
| pleasures have rot been told. We
| found tOlcrablc fair crops everywhere
| but in some localities they are srircr-
| ing for want Of rain. Gardens are Il
complete failure. We spent n few
| hours in Prosperity Wednesday it being
| ing the first time that we have walk cd
| her streets in eleven Years We went
| to see the roller mill: and right c"r al
| low us to say that 2I,at in Justice is he
J done thrsr inI.i, by dieIaraging reports
| that are being clrru ntsd among The
people. We were told 10y the miller At
| Prosperity that l, only takes four bush
| els OF wheat To fill the mill and O
course it only needs to be filled once il
Il season SO every man who takes any
quantity Of wheat at all T." the mill gcts
very little Of his ncighht r'5 wheat.
