lf you can't say anything good Of Il
person say nothing is Il good rule.
This is Il chipping from the local; of
the issue OF this paper OF the 33d ulto.
The amount OF good meaning contained
in those few words weighs over II ton.
1t has not been long since We presented
some thoughts upon this same subject.
Speaking evil Of each other, telling al
the bad things Eyou knowr,about your
fellow man and not saying Il wOlh ah1ul
what good you know Of him. On, what
common thing this is, uvun among
profcsscd Christians. This very same
vice, as little as some may seem to
think. ], helping to damn more suul,
Now my kind friends, I'm talking to
church people, proGrsscd Christians.
Without further comment upon this
subject, let's try, for shumo'S sukr--nOt
saying anything about tho Sake Of our
souls and for the hcnrvolcncc we should
have for our God-tO abstain from lLt%
filthy, low down, UNDERWRITING, habit.
a gossippcr.is nothing moro nor lvss
than an angel Of hell.
There has not been much planting
done so far, but our farmers have got
up hustle in the way Of preparing the
SOIL. Such another getting up and get
ting you never saw, and if thu weather
| is favorable for Il few weeks to come
the crops will all be planted in good
time. About the usual amount Of euuno
has been bought, and we don't see any
extra preparations being made to in
crease the acreage Of cotton. Almost
every farmer is planting early food
patches, such as We advocated in our
last letter.
We'll, it don't seem that any Of the
correspondents would like to take din
ner and spend day at the Editors but
Sigma and Chips, or at least these arc
all that have expressed Il desire Of this
kind. All right, Sigma, wc will not
make any big blow about this thing.
But Chips has an invitation awaiting
him from that kind, noble -hrartcd
good lady, the Editor's better half, and
| know you can swim in the same bon, !:
so Just be quiet, We will let you know
what day TO come.
Another frost this morning, ana I
| fear that the peach crop has been badly
injured. plums will be almost Il failure
| again.
Good people, VIC have plenty Of Chips,
| but not much time at present TO pick
them up, SO please excuse us this time.
We will tell you something later.
