HONEY-BEES.
Honey bee, honey-bee, where
are you going?"
TO fill my basket with precious
pclf;
To toll for my neighbor as we'll as
myself;
To find out the sweetest flower
that grows,
Be it a thistle, or be it rose
A secret worth the knowingl"
Bees arc industrious little insects
They are the busiest of all insects.
They get the juice from flowers,
and take it to their hives, and make
it into honey.
If it were not for the honey-bees
we would not have any honey, and
for this reason they arc useful to US,
as the honey they make is very
nice to cat, and nearly every one is
fond of it.
Bees have for their homes boxes
called hives-in these they make
their honey and in the spring men
rob these hives, but they always
leave some in the hives for the bees
to live on through the winter or
they would die, as there arc no
flowers in winter for them to take
more honey from.
There are three kinds of bees, the
queen bee is the one who rules over
the other bees. If she flies away
from her hives the other bees do
too. They arc satisfied in hive
as long as the queen bee is there.
The working bees are the ones that
make the honey, they are the smart
bees.
The droncs are la.ge, lazy bees
that do not work any and they do
not sting.
Lindsey School-Mr. Editor:
The TIMES is always welcome WIS.,
ltor to your many readers in this
neighborhood.
After having had a big time dur
ing the holidays visiting and enter
tanning, the farmers are now set
tling to regular hard work, for tuss
ling with Mother earth for dollars
above living expenses is no easy
matter, and the fall in cotton which
caught many, has led to much
thinking and some manouvcring
which we hope may provo all that
is expected.
The school house is beautifully
situated and while the house itself
may not be as large as many YOUR
county can boast of still, nature has
t been liberal and given beautiful
trees and good water in abundance.
The literary society, known as
Oak Knoll, held its first regular
meeting OF the yea, last Friday af-
ternoon and elected the following

The honors for the best recita-
tions were given Miss Gertie Alex
ander and Master Henry Long.
Very little sickness excepting
colds, and if tho case were to be
voted upon as to who had the worst
each man would vote for himself.
Mrs. Garner spent Sunday with
her sons family, Mr.. Thos. Garner
IN Joncsville, and by the way to
one who has not seen this prosper
Gus little place for half dozen wears.
things seem to be growing rapidly
and not only things but the people
and the snap of the pockctbook in
dlcates not only bank but money,
individual money,
Accept best wishes for yourself
and THE TIMES for the new year.

munlcation was unaccountably de-
