able" As matter of fact we are all
teachers to some extent, either by pre-
cept or example. Bit now many Of us
will submit ourselves to be taught. 1t
is only fools who claim to know it all.
Well, we suppose that our lawmakers
have all got settled down at the capitol
and are hard at work trying to make
laws to please and benefit the people.
We don't intend to blow our trumpet
of warning to them, for we feel sure
they will have enough OF this without
what we may say. There is no doubt
but that there will be several impor-
tant measures come before them, and
no doubt one among the many will be
the establishment of Confederate vet

the State that wants such an instItu-
ton, in fact there may be few among
the blessed old soldiers who would be
contented to leave their families and
friends and spend the balance OF their
few days away from their old homes
We have talked to coed many upon
this subject, and have only met one
who favored the plan. Good people,
increase the appropriation; give them
all something, and leave them at home

is no place on earth where they can be
better cared for and better satisfied
than at home among their people.
There has been more moving and
changing around among our white peo-

bad crop, next much dissatisfaction,
then hard times, which leads to a gen.
eral unrest and desire to do better.
We will not be able to note a full list of
all those who have made changes in
this letter, but will try to pickup those
that we skip at some other time. AS

He made an effort to make Mrs. Kate
Beard we'll on her little place near
Bachman Chapel, but struck a rock
and failed. Mrs. Beard is having con-
siderable Improvements done on her
dwelling.
It's fact that the principal part OF
the oat crop is dead, and owing to the
high price of corn and other food it's
sad fact. We are not prepared to say
SOW more oats, because we believe if
this were taken as advice it would be
wrong advice, from the fact that seed
oats is scarce and very high, besides,
spring oats is a very uncertain crop.
Now, dear farmers, so to speak, we are
in the ditch. What I mean to say is,
times are hard, and they are going to
be harder. Hard times have been
song for good while, but they are here
now in reality. But l don't mean to
create any alarm. There isn't but one
