The above shows lis what a blessing
those Ntt(c donations amount to after
they arc all summed up together. We
should always remember that those little
calls arc from God, and when we give We
| should take into consideration the spirit
Oh the poor widow who gave her two
mites and how il was accepted by Christ.
He blcsSes those little gifts if thcv arc
given III Christian spirit far above the
abundance that is given for show. It
matter" not how poor and fallen, helpless
and utterly undouE We may be, there is
always All opportunity or Eifl in our life,
some capacity o. heart or mind or will or
voice or hAnd or Sun'c unknown capacity
OF faith or labor, which, if i'll humility
and obedience is put into the hands OF
God he will gladly turn il into river of
blessings beyond all that the poor, help
less soul could ask or think. So give,
dear Christians, always give TO the Lord
with the blessed assurance that it shall
be given you in return.
Christmas passed of remark ably quiet
throughout this section. No accidents.
No rowdiea Of any kind to mar the pleas
''reS OF the pcoplc--thiS is what we call
good Christmas. The childrcn's hearts
were made glad by the usual expectations
| OF the coming Of old Santa Claus, while
the larger ones enjoyed themselves in
various ways For fear OF skipping some
| one, and giving place for them to feel
SliGhtcd we have made rule TO omit
| the Christmas visiting.
More than n usual amount of moving
Is going OIL among our white people,
which We will note later.
| SO lar rs We can learn the oats crop is
pretty seriously injured by the recent
lrccz" the first sowing, except Oh very
red land, IS not yet too badly damaged to
| make pretty fair crop, while the princi-
pal part of the November sowing is
killed. The wheat is very slightly i'll
| jurcd.
| We learn that DR.. w. 7. Dickcrt will
go to Charleston next Sunday to finish
mp his graduating course at the Medical
College. We suppose the doctor only
lacks " small slice Of getting the plum,
| which no doubt will add more to his
| name than his profession, but the way
the world looks upon things NOW. a-days,
q man m;lst wear the name if he wants
TO gain the fame.
How many votes do you suppose man
would get III Ncwberry County if lie was
TO announce himself a candidate for the
House Of Representatives., and 1t was
generally known that he couldn't write
his own nance We venture the assertion
that cries of Insanity would 90 up i'll
every direction, regardless of how higl,
his moral character and reputation stood.
Then how did the people get along 50
years ago, when only about onc-half of the
| members were able TO write their names.
This is not intended by any means as a
lick at intellectual training, but we have
thought for some time that this thing OF
education is being little ovcrcstimated,
II you don't think so--pop loose.
Most every man and woman who has
any sclf-rcspect is seeking the nobilities
Of life. This is right, God knows, we
love to see people with such ambitions.
And [ present the following as q help:
IF you want to be wise, you must sub
nit yourselves to become teachers; if yol,
want to be mighty; you must learn to
conquer yourselves; If yon want TO be
rich, just be contcnted; if you want to be
honorcd, you must honor others. There
is plenty of people who will sheer
at such little advice. But suppose just
a few at lcast-try it. We can hardly tell
how plan will work until we have tried
it all around.
MIR. Editor, your explanation on Santa
Claus was not at all satisfactory, there.
fore we have decided to drop the ques.
ton, right where you have left it.
The socials and Ssdances bave been sc
numerous for the past week, we will
jump them along with the visiting.
1t is almost time for our legislature tc
assemble again, then the fault.finders
and critics will begin. We suppose that
there is aboiit one hundred newspapers
published III the State. Almost every one
will have several different laws TO sug
gest, and if every fellows plan don't re-
ceive some consideration, lie will opei
up fire. CHIPS.
