PINE GROVE.

Merrill, Miss, 1-18-09.-A great
MANY of those that used to write tC
the Herald have quit, don t exactly
know the reason, perhaps Bill has
quit going to see Sal hence nothing
to write about. AS for Old Mig we
know not what has become of him;
he may still be in Texas, or he may
still be holding the same old job OF
carrying wood to the kitchen for the
widow to cook with.
Mr.. Wulff of Stockton, Cal, has
quite lot of recollections OF things
that happened in and about Leakes-
vile.
The are Some old wolf pits near the
home of John Brewer on the old Ray
ford road leading from Vernal to
Deer Park. At one time the Wolves
were very numerous in that section
and these pits became necessary to
them. The old settlers tell us that
one young Wolf made good his es-
cape and was not heard from since
unless this one in Stockton is him.
Be that as it may, this wolf (Wulff)
no doubt does not object to chick
en- or a sheep occasionally even tho
he went to California. I hope you
will come again Mr.. Wulff with some
more of those breezy items so well
told by you.
Sometime ago the writer of this
was staying in Mobile some weeks,
and while there met some OF your
relatives, (Wulff) one of whom was
about to become famous by inventlng
and placing on the market an over
coat that battoned in the back In
stead of in the front.
To the District Stewards meeting
which was held in Hattiesburg Tues
day Jan. II, went Clayton G. Ball
from Merrill vicinity; he reports a
pleasant trip.
w G. Ball, an up-to-date young
farmer, with his brother, @. q. Ball
has been working at the James place
of late w. c. expects to do the
most of his farming at that place this
season.
E. G.. Ball has been turning up the
turf in piece of new ground on
which he expects to raise lot of
vans to feed bunch of hogs describ-
ed by Bill Nye as being a cross be-
tween the rake straw and the razor
back
George E. Philips has for the last
two weeks been working for G. c.
and J. V. Ball. George is as fine a
band as one can find anywhere when
it comes to farm work.
Clanton Ball, who in the past has
been regular visitor to Merrill car
rying with him a good supply of fat
goat, has not been seen of late. Won
der what is the matter with him?
The robin for the gumberry,
The lark is on the wing,
So Clubfist do not worry,
But continue to sing.
Lord | don't care for riches,
Tho | have to wear tight breeches.

Revealing Ancient E:etory.

In Laconia, Greece, where excava-
lions are being carried on vigorously
by English Psychologists, the latest
finds confirm many assertions by an
cient authors concerning the Spartans.
1t becomes definitely known that Lace
daemonia was formed by the union
of five villages; that only priestesses
md citizens fallen in battle were
lried; that children were birched in
public, etc. But the most fortunate
discovery is that of the most ancient
Doric temple known. 1t dates from
90 B. G. 1t is built partly of wood
=. Eartly of sun-baked bricks.

VuInarity Of 0uarreIlng.


There must be a satisfaction in tor
turing human beings, for it is done so
often. Nobody blames wife for up
holding her self-respect and resenting
insult, but there is little sympathy for
one who deliberately drives a man to
deeds of rudeness and violence. Nag
ging and indulgence in bad temper
leave indelible marks on the face OF
woman. on her voice and on her char
acter. They shrivel up whatever
sweetness nature has put into her dis
position and make her unlovely, even
in the eyes of those who feel in duty
bound to give her affection. 1t is often
hard to maintain silence under provo
cation, but there is always the open
door of escape, you know. A quarrel
does not thrive when fed from one
side only, and what should be impor-
tant to every woman with pretenses
TO refinement is the undisputed vul-
gari;y of pickering. Education and
refinement are supposed to lift us so
IA. above vulgarity that even the hens
vi our skirts are MISUNDERSTANDING

Skatinu.

Skating is believed to have been in
vented in northern Europe in prehis-
toric times. William FitzStephen
speaks of it in London toward the end
Of the twelfth century; but it did not
really catch hold until the Cavaliers
who had been in exile with Charles II.
brought it with them from Holland. On
December 1, 1862, Mr.. Pepys, having
occasion to cross the park, first in my
life, it being a great frost, did see peo-
pie sliding with their skates, which is
4 very pretty art" On the 8th he went
purposely to see the sight and again
found it ~7e7y rretty."
