A lew weeks ago the assertion would
have been considered improbable that q
fairly good crop Of corn would be realized
In the district Results 20 date prove
that such an assertion could have been
made without the least hesitation.
In all the modes OF our existence with
which we are acquainted, nutrition l. the
necessary adjunct Of life. IL Ii within the
bounds OF accurate statement that bread
made Of properly ground corn il highly
nutritious and that It ID principally used
by the working class-the common wage
earner-south OF Mason and Dixon's line.
A good corn harvest, therefore, il one of
Heavens great blessings.
Wonderful! Explain, win you, please ?
The changes which nature il undergoing
are wonderful. To a common observer
the repetition Of q wonder no doubt
tends to lessen his astOnishment. Perad-
venture such an observer continues to
gaze till he beholds with the most perfect
Indifference the most astonishing events
as the common occurrences OF his present
state.
MIR. Irwin Jarboe Is sick and DR.. Tip
petit is attending him. Solar as we know
there are no persons suffering in eonse-
quence OF intermittent and remittent
levers.
Messrs. Geo. l. Smith and Edmund
Hammett, mailcontractors, arepunctual.
and postmaster John s. Jarboe knows
and performs his duty to the satisfaction
of patrons.
We believe the district keeps abreast of
her sister districts in regard to pretty
ladies. Infrequently one is seen with her
nose ''tip-tilted like flower"
During a conversation sometime ago
we remarked in the hearing OF an officer
OF the Weems' Line that shipments from
Miller's wharf exceeded those of Grason's.
Broom's and Porto Bello's, not combined
but separately. Imagine our surprise
when the officer stepped forward and said
that the shipments from the latter wharf
were the greatest,
Ministers Of the Gospel-Messenger OF
Salvation-have no men that we know
to contend with who forget the deluge
and take no warning from Sodom and
Gomorrah; men who mock at judgment,
and who defy wrath; men who excel in
ungodliness, dishonesty and hyprocicy.
How cheeringI
Few bees are seen. Query. Are not
the peculiarities of the bee instructive?
1t il doubtful whether instinct ever i'm
proves. We suppose that the first cell of
the young bee is as perfect hexagon as
it can construct in old age.
Few dogs are seen in this section of the
district, and farmers have no complaints
to make in regard to having their sheep
disturbed by them.
An occasional chicken or duck disap-
peares and, well, hawks and owls are
birds of prey; and instinct teaches them
to appease their hunger by preying upon
fowls of different species.
Mr.. Henry F. Abel who unfortunately
lost his grist mill by fire will soon have
new one in operation.
Edgar Smith, Jr., OF DOWNTOWN, has
been appointed mate on the police boat
Visoqua, VIM. w. Clarke commanding
officer.
AL truths are uniformly harmoniousin
their nature, and therefore, never can OPP
pose one another. Time, like a star, un-
hasting, yet unresting; moves on and
changes evolved by it are perceptible.
What is expressed is truth, because it in
wolves nothing that is either contradic-
tory or absurd.
New faces are frequently seen and old
familiar ones are conspicuous by their
absence. Epitaphs on tombs in different
graveyards indicate that their material
parts are being prepared for thatimport-
ant moment when the piercing call of God
shall enter the territories in which they
are deposited, and awaken them to a
made of life which is at present but little
known.
Heavy rains have recently visited this
section; and were nothing which can lay
an embargo ON our belief that farmers
may proceed to fallow as the ground ia
in good condition for ploughing.
Recently Captain VIM. Ford, Of the
fatty Minnie aay, and Harry Parks of
the fatty Columbia, Fairhaven, Somer-
set County, were arrested by Captain
Clarke for illegal Clustering and brought
before Justice James Roach who i'm
posed fine of $50 upon each, which
was promptly paid. One OF the Captains
remarked that magistrates OF his sec
ton did not give any attention to cases
of illegal clustering.
