THOM NASHVILLE.

Our cotton buyers Messrs. Thomas
and Neal are still in the market.
r. L. Catron, another beef man
from Plain, was in our burg" a few
days since.
Mrs. Belle Mathews, who has been
sick for some time is improving.
Recent news from DIE. r. Thomas
of Perkins, Oklahoma, is to the eff
feet that the condition of his health
is som ewhat encouraging.
j. j. Neal, who has occupied the
dormitory for several months has
moved back to the plantation of DR..

mex to his house and is preparing to
give it coat of paint soon.
We are contemplating repairing
the school house and building another
story to it to be used for a lodge
hall. etc.
The recently discovered insect bear
ing a close resemblance to the cot
ton boil weevil often causing consid-
cradle excitement proved to be an
underground pest of the cookie bur,
The dormitory has recently been
sold to w B. Collier, of Brandon,
who intends tearing it down and re
building for tenant houses on his
plantation near here. The building
was owned by stock company and
it proving an Improbable invest
ment was sold by mutual consent of
all concerned, however, it was not
expected to pay a dividend in a
financial way-it being an adjunct
to the school
AS spring time has come and
brought forth with it the warm sum
mer days and zepher breezes, all
nature seems to respond, and the
earth putting forth its beautiful flow
rs-diffusing into the air their
sweet aroma, our hearts should leap
with gratitude that our lots have
been cast in a land where the sur
roundings are so favorable for the
development of the noblest elements
or characteristics of man.
Our Sunday schools are yet alive,
not having hibernated during the
winter months. We would urge that
those who have not done so be more
constant in attending, that they (the
Sunday schools) may grow, as it is
or growth of the church. In fact,
by the Sunday schools we are train
ed and become more proficient to
grasp more readily the trend of
thought or theme of the preachers
sermon.
Every human being owes debt OF
gratitude to his Creator for his ex-
istance; and should show his CRATE
fulness for having been born into
the world by letting his life be do
minated by noble purposes and high
aspirations, to fulfill his mission in
the world. And seeing the good re-
suits of what is being done by
those who are supporting the cause
for which they stand, should be
an incentive to the Indifferent to be-
come loyal to the institution with
which they are identified. It is OF
supreme importance that every pro-
Tossing church member be liberal wit
their personal services as well as
their means.
We have under consideration the
advisability. or, necessity of organic
ing a Presbyterian church, which
movement should be rallied to by
every body regardless 0f denomina-
ton, and the purpose ofwhich should
arouse our enthusiasm and appeal
to our best citizenship. By recruit
ing the members who have been in
solated from any church OF their
denomination for a series of years,
and all other available material who
are Presbyterian inclined, there
is no rational reason that another
would not fill a long felt need at
this place.
Rev. e. C. Comfort. OF Brandon,
the Presbyterian pastor, has been
filling his regular monthly appoint
ments since the early part of last
year; and by his sincerity, progress,
sive spirit, and sociability he has
made a good and lasting impression
on the people We trust that Bro.
Comfort will meet with encourage
ment from all and ere long We will
