the North Woods; a story entitled "A
Commonplace History," and gives a
picture of the negroes on their way to Li?
beria who were stranded in New York.

men and laymen. Price, ten cents.

j Mr. Newton Parker, a few days ago, had

bruising his person, but, we tru.st, doing
no very serious damage.

Dr. Manly preached two fine sermons
in Belton last Sunday.
Willis Lewis, colored, wants to know of
the whereabouts of a stray male pig, eight
monthBold, weighing about fifty pounds
gross?color, red and black spotted.
Our efficient.marshal, Mr. Willinghatn,
has been having a lively time with some
of the violators of our town laws. He
should have the sympathy and co-opera?
tion of every good citizen. Oar town
ordinances must be honored if we would
have a decent and prosperous village.
Obedience to law is one of ihe first lessons
a person should be taught.
Mr. Raimey Hughes and Mr. Henry
Tollison, two of the best engineers on the

Barnes Drifting!.
We have been trying, Mr.' Editor, to
keep quiet and not intrude upon your
valuable paper by sendioy in any more
flowers from Barnes Station, but we have
kept silent just aa longa? we can. We only
want a short space in your paper for this
one time to'say a few words to the two
bashful young writers, ''Mr. Robco" and
"Pap's Son." Now, gents, we waut you
to remember that this is leap year, and it is
rapidly passing away, and if you do not
accept some of the propositions that are
now being made, you may regret it when
it is too late. There is n use of you being
so bashful or afraid to pop the question,
for the answer is already prepared. Just
hitch old gray to the buggy and come,
and we will go to the Notary Public or
preacher, get somebody else to say some?
thing.
You will pardon me, Mr. Editor, for
trying to addreus the young men through
your paper, and allow me space to say a
few words to those who are already mar?
ried and have large families, and are now
enjoying themselves in the pleasures of
married life.
, The farmers are very busy preparing for
a crop of corn this year. We think it a
good idea, brother farmer. Try to make
enough to live on at home, and when we
do that cotton can go to three cents per
pound and the silyer bill may go to the
four winds, and we will sit by our firesides
and wouder who will be the next Presi?
dent and sing "Old Dan Tucker." Now,
brothers, don't neglect the potato patch.
Ooe of the old time farmers sayB that
potatoes are meat and bread and pretty
good shoes for the children. Now is the
time, also, to plant your forage patch, and
you will save going in debt for horse feed.
You must remember that a dollar saved
is a dollar made. Use all the economy
that is possible, and when we do all we
can trust Providence for the increase.
But it is not necessary to sit down on the
stool of do nothing and expect Providence
to help us to change the state of affairs
and to curse the monopolist and the gov?
ernment. Wake up to a sense of your
duty and times will change.
As I have already taken more than I
intended, I will quit. Little Tom.
Our farmers have sown a large crop of
small grain this vear, all of which is look?
ing fine. B. C. Say has the finest field of
wheat we have seen. The farmers are
rapidly pushing their work now, and if
the fine weather continues they will soon
be ready to plant. Capt. J. T. Barnes has
already planted several acres of corn.
He thinks that corn should be planted
earlier this year than usual, for which he
gave several reasons, all of which we think
very good.
Not long since Mr. John Yonng left
here for Texas, where he will reside In the
future.
Those of our young men who did not go
to Florida are now interested in going West.
In fact, some of them have already made
several trips. They say that it only cost
them their heart to go, and that they
think a very small return for the un?
speakable joy they experience while there.
Will not ask the County Commissioners
to bu?d a biidge for the heartless young
men, but think a toll bridge would be
money well invested. Who will try it?
One of our young men went to Willing
ton recently. It was the same business
that called blm down there so often last
year. Mr. Martin thinks he can settle it
in a very few minutes.
Friend W. made a mash on another
young lady recently. It was not his No.
9 on her No. 3, but, according to the young
lady's confession, it is a case of love at
first sight. On second sight we think she
will not find so muoh to admire?he has
shaven off his mustache.
Is it possible that our Dark Corner is
growing darker? It certainly looks like
it the way people are getting lost. Only a
few days ago one of our townsmen left here
for Cars well Institute and a. sunset found
himself near Craft's Ferry, but suppose he
didn't care, for he got a young lady to
show him home. And some of the boys
are sure that Mr. Alewine was lost when
he called on one of our young ladies last
Saturday night. They say that he made
a mistake at the cross roads near Capt.
Daniels' plantation.
Our Notary Public thinks he will be
able to report another marriage soon, be?
cause a young man at the party the other
night was heard asking his girl how far
she lived from here, the condition ol the
road, Land if be could drive it in half an
hour, <?c. Will not call his name, but
think he is not wanted any longer at the
parties.
Will not say that Miss Ella McAdams
was taking advantage of leap year when
she visited several of our people recently.
Miss Ella is a charming young lady, pos?
sessing many excellent qualities, and
counts her admirers by tho dozen. Her
presence is like sunshine in our midst,
and we know that we echo the sentiments
of our people in asking her to repeat her
visits as often as possible.
Well, Mr. Editor, this is leap year and
I am expecting a call from Lizzie this
week, and if I succeed iu making a mush
on her will let you know at once.

The voice of the plowman is heard on

If it had continued fair a few days longer
most of our farmers would have gotten
their fertilisers in. I heard a prosperous
farmer Bay if the farmers would fertilize
their corn better, and make more'potatoes
and molasses, and not plant so much cot?
ton, we would be a great deal more pros?
perous and happy. Brother farmers, let
us follow this good advice.
We havn't any marriages to chronicle
this week, but If "Bob" keeps on going
across the creek, I think we will have a
wedding very soon.
Two of our girls went fishing the other
day. They didn't catch any fish, but
they caught a man. Girls, you should
follow the example of Misses Nannie aud
Ida.
Mariou has bought a razor. He says his
beard got so stiff a table knife would not
cut it.
While I was ploughing the other day a
party of girls camo to see me, but I regret
that they did uot find me at home. Girls,
if you had been listening you might have
heard our sonorous voice over the hill
ploughing old sleepy. Call again, ladies,
the latch string hangs out.
Mr. Editor, you will have to excuse me
for writing with a pencil. I tried to get a
goose quill the other night. I did not get
the quill, but got a coat of tar and feathers.
We aro on exhibition every night at Pied?

eD.joy themselve?.
Mr. Young Davenport's little infant was
buried at this place on the 3rd inst.
A few of our farmers are having their
land terraced. I think their heads are
level on that subject.
One of our Jittle friends still goes across
the creek to see his girl. We eaunot wish,
as some of the correspondents did, that
the bridge would wash away, as there
isn't one, but we would be glad that he
would fall in und get wot.
Mr. J. J. Copeland has employed Mr.

It is said by one of our best ladies that

cause. Bo if you want to marry justcome
along before the rush.
We have bad some fine weather the last
few days, and our farmers have made
good use of it.
V/e still hoar the cry, almost every
where we go, hard times, but I think that

Times have been very dull with us for
tbo past few days. The weather has been
flue for farm work, and tbe farmers have
been making good use of their time,, but
to-day is very disagreeable.
Miss Ella McAdams, a most charming
youDg lady from tho Institute section,
spent a few days in this commuuily since
we wrote last. Miss Rosa McAlister, an?
other charming young lady of Moffatts
ville, spent Wednesday night aqd Thurs?
day at Mr. D. H. McAlister's. These
young ladies are ever welcome visitors in
our community. Would be glad they

A certain young man not far from here
went to a party recently, and, on finding
hui best girl was not there, started at once
for her home. On arriving at the place he
found she had retired. We do not know
what was said, but, however, it was not
long until she oame out, hat in hand,
ready to go. He says be cannot raise the
dead, but be certainly raised her from the
bed.
Eev. Mr. Durant, pastor of the M. E.
Church, will preach at Union Church first
Sunday night in April.
Not many nights ago one of our neigh?
bor friends went to Church, and as he
most always goes by and takes his best
girl, we made surd he intended to get her
that night. When he came in we looked
around to see the girl come in with him,
but, instead of the girl, were two cats.
They didn't stop until they reached the
pulpit. Some one said something about
the cats going to Church. Our friend rose ?
immediately and, calling the "kits," set
out for borne. ?,

I noticed last week that one of our
brother correspondents said that if the
young ladies would take advantage of
leap year there would be no more wed?
dings for the next four years. Brother
Waco, I think you will find it a mistake.
The girls are not as anxious to marry as
tbe boys. If they were there wouldn't
have been any to try the leap year plan.
The farmers of this section have been
making good use of the pleasant weather.
Some say they are done ridging cotton
land and are preparing their corn land,
and will plant some iu a week or two. Be
sure and plant enough this year, aud do
not be hauling it from town next Spring
like yon did this, and then grumble about
cotton being so low. Remember this, and
next fall don't say "lam broke."
The people of this section are slow about
gardening. They think it is time enough
yet.
One of our bachelors says if his best girl
does not change her mind before next
Christmas be will not have to keep "bach"
next year. He says be is going to build a
noat little cottage when he gets his crop
made. That is right; get you a good
wife and then you can Jive a happy live
together. Mam.

it gels too late to plant cotton.

? Ventura County, California, is the
most prolific bean-growing seotion in tho
world. One ranch of2,500 acres produced
1,050 tons of Lima bean i this year. It
took 31,000 sacks to hold the crop, and
thoy will fill 201 cars on an average of
ten tons to the car. This will make
eight or nine solid trains of beans. But
this only from one ranch. The railroad
company expects to handle 1,500 car
loads of beans on the "Ventura division
this year.
