entirely quiet. We are not largo
Is troubled with outsiders, except
from the overflow of candidates.
The crop Of these seems to be
abundant and their moving ca
pncity is very great. The papers
often tell us of the insuliiciency
OF money to move n crop OF cot
ton This does not affect rs, as
we have no cotton TO move, and
what little we have is scarcely
worth the moving. The advan-
tagcs Of the crop of candidates is
that they move themselves, and
us also.
We are happy here, because
the gates of credit are now wide
open, and we farmers can pro-
cure all we want without money
ami without price. What q
blessed buoy to business IL credit.

can keep the latter to fall back
on. should credit fail. ! have
seen the end Of many things, but
] have never seen the end Of the
blessings Of credit, and whether
cotton is s or 4 cents we get
goods at about tho same figures
on credit. Our mercantile
friends stick TO us, and we will
stick to them, at least SO long as
they give us credit inpetornum.
Blessed be no who extends n lib
eral credit TO his friends, for he
shall never lack for customers.
The war Of a week, that struck
all labor with paralysis a few
miles below our county, Is hap
PLY over, with peace made and
law on top, and business again
booming, and good business is
largely better than war; in fact,
q bad business is said TO be better
than a good war, for the former
only breaks the credit Of men,
while the latter breaks their
heads, and an empty pocket is
preferable to an empty head.
Prospects are good for n heavy
planting Of cotton, as great
deal Of fertilizers have gone out,
and il is possible tina. a big crop
will give us four cent cotton.
Meat, that article Of greasy
glory, goes out in abundance
People are planting cotton all
the time.
We had Dr. Lowrey down here,
who delivered a fine sermon, or
, lecture, at lst church or Sunday,
and took up a u dollar collection,
which we learn was all on credit,
{ or nearly SO. The address and
collection were for Clinton Col
lege.
Religion is at m unusually loH
ebb here, though we have terrora
, il some Of our church business,
, and assume the full scope OF
, church Independence.
Our pleasant school here runs
, right along, without any outside
friction.
We have many saw mills that
make great deal of fuss and
sawdust, and also some lumber,
which keeps our roads in a suf-
fering condition.
We have some admirable courts
,, here, also plenty OF courting,
and altogether we are "a people
worth going a mile to see. We
have a smiling river here, just
large enough for good courting,
though too small for boating, but
there is a wealth Of green leaves
that now oyershadow its banks,
making canopies Of glory for the
sweet singing birds that carol
forth their lays Of love among the
: great beech trees, and under
; which smiling lovers, in the
? morning hours of life, with hearts
light as the down upon the gos-
samer, sing love ditties to each
other and gild the hours Of their
;, young lives with the pledges oi
u long troth they make to eacf
II other, while the purling water
,, as they roll above the COLDER
IS gravel, echo back their songs o
g merriment, and murmur an ap
y proval of their vows OF love.
s Blessed season! that keeps tht
z world young forever by the fresh
Il ened bowers and glowing verdur,
q that Spring imparts TO them
, though for man there is no re-
, newal OF the Eden charms of life,
till he finds them all again in the
resurrecfinn world NrAfn
