out of his pasture last Sunday, was at
tackled by the hog, a very large one,

! The county road north of the South
ern Railroad near Rosewood Academy.
| was worked last week by the o%verseer
and those living on it. and in passing
one would think the county force had
done it service. It not only improves
the looks of the road but when harden
ed by travel will favorably compare
with that done by the county.
The recent freshet in Little River as
the largest that has been in years. The
Iowlands were covered and most ofthe
bridges impossible. At Hooks bridge
the embankment made by the county

by three deep gullies which washed out
across it. Two buggies and one wagon
were still there in the water Sunday,

We were in error last week in stating
that the peaches were very little dam
aged. A more careful examination,
before the issue of last weeks paper,
revealed the act hat they were not
only very much damaged, but were
all killed. The first examination we
made was done Immediately after the
snow, before the effect was fully evil
dent. There was a fine prospect for an
abundant peach crop, and the totalloss
means many dollars out of the farmers
pockets, besides being deprived of his
most luscious and healthful fruits.

spirit, that we will not realize even the
minimum joy and happiness which
should FLOUR hearts and flood our lives
with thankfulness on this joyous occa-
sion. But, if the heart is filed with
warmed by the love we have for Him
and our neighbor, we will get the max
imum of joy, and our lives will be hap
pier and brighter and heaven itself
will seem nearer.
The happiness of the home is the
only real happiness to be found on
earth. There, around the family cir
| Gle, should ever live those influences
which make life worth living, and
Heaven more to be desired. Nc single
member of the family can contribute
tented freside, but each one can do
their part, and even though that some-
times may seem but . mite yet. in the
aggregate, 1t helps furnish the great
fund OF happiness necessary in making
the world brighter and better around
US, and preparing rs for hat homo
whore all is joy and peace and love.
