 We had a good rain the last of last week, which was very much needed and gladly received. Corn would now make very well if we didn't get any more rain, and cotton is growing very fast.
 Our school commenced Mon day morning with sixty pupils. Prof. J. M. Lovejoy is principal, Prof. B. w. Cheney assistant. We think we will have a good school and quite a large attend ance.
 Sunday was "children's day." and we had a large and very well behaved congregation, though the crowd was not as large as was expected, on accounto of rain. There was dinner enough on the ground to have fed twice the number present, and everybody seemed to be having a pleasant time. We hope they did at least. Come again, visitors.
 Our DeView correspondent seems to imagine that somebody has been kicking" because they didn't have dinner on the ground. Now they might know that this was untrue, for nobody ever thought that they would. They hardly eyer make such mistakes. AS for carrying dinner, of course we will five ever go, for we "nev- CT go home hungry" The Bayou" is indeed a bad place, but we generally have something to eat when our friends come. And there are some places we know that are worse than "The Bayou" and they are not a thou sand miles from here either. Wake up and look around you.
