[ have heard of Mr.. Crumpack-

gestive of his efforts to pack some
crumbs into the national laws con-
cerning the South. / am no poll

to see how some of them are irving

they think ita long lane that has no

heard q sermon recently from
the text on fixing your affections ON
things above, etc., in which the pas
tor said the mind would cause the af.
feotions to follow, ETC., during which
he also said that he had heard girls
say they would not marry any man
that they did not love, but they had
better be trying to get a man who
loved them for if q husband truly
loved hia wife he would not mis-
treat and impose upon her. This
seems true, every word, and it is safe
to bank on. Then there must be
some men we all know who do not
love their wives, and I have evidence
to believe it, If We can't do any
better towards a wife than some
boasted benedicts who would deixn
to give us advice, We had better re-
main bachelors.
During the big snow it was not
good for hunting rabbits-thsy did
not come out much where they
could be tracked, and we'll bunnie
did not. After the snow was nearly
gone numerous tracks could be seen
on patches of snow. They could
not be tracked so they seemed not to
be afraid to ramble. Up in Kansas
the people talk of the extent small
boys 60 in exterminating bunnie, but
the small boy is simply not in it COM
pared to the negro. They scarcely
ever lot up, week day or Sunday,
spring, summer, autumn or winter,
with untaxed dogs, and guns, sticks,
rocks, etc. Will they get him?
Well, yes, I guess their meat is out
and they have got to have it. /
have heard of some people catching
rabbits in the summer to feed their
dogs on. The dogs had to run, the
bread was out and they had to have
the hare.
For men of generous heart, unset,
fishness and men who are desirous of
doing great good, and for the pub
lie, let US look at Messrs. A. s. and
w. D. Douglass, of Winnsboro, that
Vox told us ofin his last article, who
had given q road to Cherokee county
in order to avoid . steep hill. Who,
in Union county, who is generous
enough to the travelling public to sell
reasonable, not give, q strip for
q road around steep hills. But I am
afraid some would put it in even
worse place, if they could, to get the
road bed for a cotton patch. know
many who come Is near taking the
road to plant in IS they can. Some
who will mutilatc the road as bad as
they almost can for selfish personal
benefits. Go to the Messrs. Doug
lass, ye men, and learn lesson. Ye
will not starve. Do a creditable
thing for the good of it.
