What is the matter with the Sundal
school at this place? There is no rea
son we can see why there isn't wide
awake, lively Sunday school every Sun
day. A Sunday school of this kind Is
an asset TO any community. The young
folks must have somewhere to go and
its better for them to go to church
than some places they are liable to &c
to pass off the time, especially the
boys. Also we think IL q nice thing
for the older folks to attend.

Almost daily we have someone com
ment on the present financial conditions
In the South and explain the causes
and offer various remedies for the
cause. If we should attempt to pass
our Judgment in the matter we would
propose that the country in general
raise a little more "hOg and hominy"
and less cotton. For the family who
has good big garden, plenty of fruit,
home raised meat, good milk cows,
properly cared for, and n flock of hust-
ling hens and homegrown feed-stuffs
for all farm animals, can smoke his
pipe of peace when the one crop man Is
the local grocer and keeping
his own nose to the grindstone."
