We.find the'people of:the piney woods
in much better financial circumstances
than the people III upper No. 8 town
ship. They havo many advantages
over VIZ up-country people, as they have
plenty OF good pine timber, to make
shingles and crossties Of, besides a
great deal OF oak and hickory, and In
general you find every farmer, who
raises all OF his homo supplies, with
plenty of meat, plenty of lard, plenty Of
Hour, plenty Of c"rn, plenty OF oats,
plenty OF potatoes, etc. Aud the morey
they make Is clear money. You find
| almost every farmer down near Riuht
well with almost all Of his last years.,
| cotton, which goes to show that they
arc not in need of money. They a,so
have great deal OF good fertile land.
Mr. Thomas d Anick made q short

Mr.. Editor, we never like to max @
any complaint OF anything aud espcc-

ing to make reference to, but our last

| We would like to see the child labor
bill pass at this session OF tho legisla-
ture as It is good bill and would be q
blessing to humanity as there are too
many children worked in our mills who
arc too young. Chips, did you ever
read tho second Epistle Of John?
There is petition on foot In this
section to have Mr.. George Lester put
