TupeIo Route No 2.
Editor of Journal:

vi tlal-
If you will spare me space in your
paper, will giveyou my daily experience
on No. 2.
Well, to begin with '.Jorden am a
hard road to travel" and so are the
roads on No. 2. A hole here a lump
there and another hole over there, and
SO on till / get home and out of the
buggy when | have the wiggles and
wabbles for quite a while. | go to bed
and have all sorts of foolish dreams;
horses falling down with me and |
jump almost out of bed. | go to sleep
again and my buggy turns over and
throws me and mail out in the briars
and bushes. | jump to dodge a stump
and wake up. Next day | drive over
my route again distributing all the
way between rs and 200 pieces of mail
and see the farmers, not looking for
stumps nor holes but enjoying life.
That takes me back to when | was a
boy; If drove oxens that day | would
drive steers all night. If | fished |
would see the cork bobbling in my
dreams. Well, the farmers are like
all the rest are awfully behind but they
are good natured and never murmer.
Its true we have some bad roads but
the boys tell me they r going to fix
them sup brown" after crops are
laid by Il don't believe my buggy

he is going to have the best road in

Go it, Ihope every one of you will

In His Own Line.

Jim Jackson was brought be-
fore a Western Judge charged
with chicken stealing. After
the evidence was all in, the JUS
tice with perplexed look, said:
"But | do not understand, jack
son, how it was possible for you
to steal those chickens, when
they were roosting right under
the owners window and there
were two vicious dogs in the
yard"

which is good, and a total absti-
hence from that which is evil or
bad. He made a fine impression
and this was the entering wedge
of the temperance movement
in our county, and Ben Manner
has the honor of having launched
a movement for the betterment
of humanity and for the protec-
ton of our youths and for the
, elevation of our women, which
like the little cloud no larger
than a mans hand has become
a mighty tempest for good, not
only in our own county, but has
extended far and wide sometimes
so rapidly and Unexpectedly that
some have needed the assistance
of another Elijah to get out of the
way of it. All! how | see the
faces Of those grammar pupils
in that old log house as | sit here
and write; seeing them not as
they now are, but as they then
appeared, beautiful and lovely
young ladies, strong and chival-
rous young men, only being SO
young as sixteen full Of life and
hope, just entering on life's real
journey, having no conception
and but little thought of what
was in store for them. | will not

When | think Of these old friends
and comrades of the old grammar

in my heart, and draws me to-
ward the old spot just south of

they are still clad in the habili-

ness OF his power and lmpOr-
lance, and like Alexander Sell
kirk, realized that he was
monarch of all he surveyed,
and often took special pains to
let it be known. Surveying the
years that have come and gone
since then, and the changes for
the better which have taken
place, we now wonder, as we
take a backward glance, how
we made any advancement what
ever in our studies; and yet, the
men and women who were raised
under the olden time customs,
have made their impress upon
the world of thought, and many
Of them have written and spoken
the English language beautifully
and well, and some have been
enabled to hold their audience
spell bound on rostrum and in the
pulpit by the elegance Of their
diction and the forcefulness of
their eloquence.
Another custom in the olden
time, and one that gave many
a heart pang to the younger boys,
and made the older ones feel
their Importance, was that Of
allowing boys over a certain age
to go out of the school house UNI
der the shade of the trees to
study their lessons. It was a
landmark in a boys life when, for
the first time, he was given per-
mission by the master to take
his slate and books and retire
beyond the confine of the house
for study with the older and lar
ger boys. Sentiments change
very much for the better, at least
in some respects, as the years go
by. / remember one teacher
at old Mooresville who got drunk
every Friday after school, and
just sobered off ready for bus
mess Monday morning and yet
he held on to his sshool for the

be dismissed forth first Offense.

PEN.pICTURES OF THE OLDEN TIME
BY COL. w. L. CLAYTON.

When we first moved to this
country, there were no schools
of any kind, as the people were
so sparcely settled that twas
impossible to get enough children
together to make a school,
and those who had moved in
were too poor to have private
tutors. ] think the first school
ever taught in the western part
iof old Itawamba, where We then
lived, was in the year 1874,
which school / attended,
with three of my older brothers
and one sister. This school was
taught by a lame man by the
name of Lynn, and was located
on the pine ridge North Of what
has been known for many years
as the Clifton place, and where
Dock Payne now lives, and the
school house was nearly west
from the old DR.. Barnes place,
and where Barnes then lived.
1t was what we know now as
an ''Old Field" school. I re-
member the appearance of the
teacher very well even at this
distance of time. He was rather
a small man, lame Of one leg,
walked with clutches, sandy
hair, small head, but high fore
head, with piercing gray eyes,
and a countenance anything but
attractive. He ruled the school
with an iron hand, and almost
with an iron rod. / recollect
we'll the kind of rods he had and
how he used them. The ferule
was the smoothe last years
growth of the winter Whortle-
berry, there being no chance
near the place to get the hickory,
which was much preferable.
Many Of the pupils had to travel
from three to four miles to attend
this school, and we among
that number. In that school
and several others which | at
tended subsequently, the custom
, was for every body to study
OUT as it was called, each pupil
reading or spelling as loud as
he might choose. and when the
spelling lesson for the evening
commonly called the turn down
lesson, was announced, which
was done about ten minutes be.

in the class for the finalspell
