PISGAH.

Pisgah, March 2O.-Very little
plowing has been done since the wet
spell. If it rains again as it now looks,
another backset will occur and still
further delay the preparation for the
crops. All this ought to help the price
of cotton, and with Mr.. Sully again IN
the saddle to bull the market, the
price ought to go still higher. A good
deal of cotton has lately changed
hands here. The parties who sold
thought it would go no higher or else
had some financial oblisa lions to meet.

some time. The whole section has been

SMITHVuLE.

Smithville, March lS.-Upon the res
ignation Of Mrs. Smith last week Mr..
I. 3. Marshe was reinstated as prin-
cipal. He was little more successful
as a teacher (I supose) for when the
school closed last Friday he had fully
twenty scholars in attendance, while
Mrs. Smith only had between 40 and
so.
The "professor'' did not wait to be
asked to resign the school this time
for when it was told him that he
would have to answer some charges
of a serious nature and most damag-
ing to his character he left. This way
of leaving suddenly seems to be an un-
fortunate way of his for from cores
pondence we have had with other
places where hetaught, CT tried to
teach we find that he left suddenly. AT
Clio he not only left suddenly, but
left an unfinished term, an old valise
and unpaid board BILL all Of which
were awaiting his return. Quite
sigh of relief went up from many
bosoms when this "high-toned Chris
tian gentleman" left and While our vii
lage is gutter, still we have some
thing to talk about for quite while
There is no sickness of any serious
nature here, except everybody more
