THE TIMES IN OTHER HADS.
THE Tnis, its good-will, subscrip
tions, and advertisements have been
sold to Prof. S. A. Nettles, who will
take charge of the paper this morning.
The generous patronage I have en
joyed is most warmly appreciated and
will be happily remembered. I have
endeavored to publish a paper worthy
of the respect and support of the peo
ple,-and how far I have failed is left
with the kind friends of the TntES;
but thete is this satisfaction-my ef
forts have met with encouragement
and sympathy, and a hearty support,
_ iorwhich I am indeed grateful.
The only reason for withdrawing
o r ooem-rthe Tmzs is to give my whole at
tention to the practice of law.
Prof. Nettles has my best wishes
for success and my friends are conjur
to give him the support they have
so generously extended to me.

h'-4 an accused Messrs. Harby and
Bownian, J. R.Keels, and K. Penning
of the murder of Trial Justice
= aynsworth. Harby and Keels have
3een arrested and lodged in jail; the
two who were severely wounded,
ae 'too ill to be removed, and are
by special constables. They
be tried at the next term of the
court and judicial investiga
j wll determine who are the guil
arties and who are blarheless in
had aair.
'Notwithstanding the enraged senti
4' against the horrible ending of
rspersonal quarrel, justice demands
the accused receive a fair and
impartial trial; and 'till then, their
.caseshould rest from further agitation.
Noone.can wish to con'vict any one of
e unless he is guilty. Then the
^"i i feeling should be toned down
renzied pitch to view impas
and unprejudicially the
_atter. After what has been

Every character in the Tableaux,
except the young man who parts his
- hair in the middle and writes his
~-second name in full, performed their
parts with such exquisite blending of
talent, grace, and beauty, that it is al
most impossible to say who exeelled.
The pathetic attitudes appealed to the
heart, while those more strikingly
spectacular won the homage of the
-eye.
A Miss Leise Braisford's personifica
-tion of the beautiful but unhappy he
~oine of Troy's war was very pretty
and won generous applause. Miss
Shannon, as Agamenon's immolated
daughter, was, as in everything else,
superbs
Arrayed in the heavenly garniture of
an Angel, Mizs Emma Canty's rendi
tion of Jeptha's daughter was sublime
- and evoked encore after encore.
Miss Tin Tin Cantey was indeed a
very "fair" Rosamond,--that is "fair"
two Tins-if she will pardon my fee
blejeu de mots, and Miss Shannon's
Eleanor shared the peans of praise.
Gemmed with sparkling jewels, who
ean depidt-Miss Gibson's artistic pose
as Egypt's star-eyed queen ? Luxuri
ating in ethereal siestas~ in resplendent
palaces, 1-efreshed by the costly vint
age of pearls or gliding down the icy
Cydnus in gorgeous and voluptuous
splendor, Cleopatra ne'er equalled
\iiss Gibson's impersonation of her.
Describe her ? "Were my pen a quill
from the pinion of the loftiest serapL
that burns in gleaming glory dipped
in refulgent rays of the rainbow's
fountain, 'twould be impossible."
Like one of raphaers pictured dreams
Where blended all in one radient fac
The woman's warmth, the Angel's grace."
Miss Annie Brailsford's Margaret
Moore, was Margaret herself. The
martyrdom of the heroic "Maid of
Orleans" was vividly and touchingly
porti-ayed by Miss Nora Brailsford in
a posture of sweet resignation that
was perfectly angelic. Space does
not permit reference to all the Ta
bleaux; suffice to say that they were
all a success in the superlative degree.
To the galaxy of beauty that furnish
ed the pleasures of this "love of an
eve" Argonaut can pay no higher tri
bute of thanks than to adopt the
idiom of one whose parting smile still
gilds the gloom of her absence, and
exclaim, but alas! not with that naicele,
"Oh, thanks, awfully !"

A Voice from Texas.
What an Old South Carolinian Has to Say
of the "Prairie Land."
Coupmte Crr, Dcember 18, 1887.
Enrron Mamtx Tjmxss: As it has been
almost three years since I left your county,
and have been on the go nearly all the time
looking for the Eldorado, I will give you a
description of where 1've been and what i've
seen. If you think it worthy ; of your valua
ble space, you can use it, if not, consign it
to the waste basket.
I left Lake City January "86 for Texas, and
arrived at Corsicana, the objective point, in
due time. I found it to be a live little city,
full of energy and push, surrounded by the
most beautiful prairie country I ever saw.
Twelve years ago cattle was almost the ex
clusive industry, only now and then a farm,
but with immigration came the plow and
the hoe, and to-day Navarro is one of the
best agricultural counties in the State. Cor
sicana alone handled over 25,000 bales of
cotton last season, besides a splendid wheat
and oat trade. Farm hands arein demand
at $12.50 to $16.00 per mouth and board.
Almost any farmer is glad to furnish land,
team, and implements and feed hand and
team, and give you half you can make and
house. The land is very fertile. With good
seasons the yield is 25 to 50 bushels corn,
1,200 to 1,500 pounds of cotton, 40 to t;o
bushels of oats, and from 8 to 16 bushels of
wheat. Farming land is worth from $12 to
$30 per acre; the black land is practically in
exhaustable, the soil measuring from live to
twenty feet. Some farmers have to haul
water, but generally they have wells and
tanks convenient to the house, and general
ly wood enough on the farms for all purpos
es; some may have to haul as far as six miles,
but that is always done in the time 'e-hen
the roads are as hard as brick, and it ain't
as big a job as you people think; all the
fencing is done with wire.
After visiting several places of note in
quest of a good location, I have at last ecttled
in Coleman county for the present. It wont
be long until the stock will have to move on
west. If my advice is worth an- thing to
home-seekers, they should by all means
come as far west as Brown county; land is
cheaper and just as good, with outtel for
stock. The only difference I seeis, we don't
have quite as much rain, but we can stand
the drouth so much better if we can have
good stock, and the rain is only a question
of time; as the land is cultivated the rains
increase. State School iands, classed as
agricultural land, is worth $3 on thirty years
time, some of the prettiest valleys I ever saw
-the soil is black and:a yellow loam sandy
soil. Farm land improved is worth from
$3 to $10 per acre in any size tracts and easy
time. A few years ago this county was ail
open and now nearly the whole county is
under fence, and plenty of farms starting.
This is the poor man's country; the grass is
very nutritious and will keep stock in good
order, with moderate use.
I find Ilcan live cheaper here than in South
Carolina; not enough people in the county
to hinder time to visit, and not necessary to
put on so much style. The morals of this
State will compare favorably with South Car
olina. All this talk about having to carry a
six-shooter and a dirk is all bosh; the socie
ty is not as refined as it might be, but clev
er, hospitable and generous as any people I
ever saw. One of the most desirable features
in our society is the absence of all pretense
at fashion and female rousters with aristo
cratic notions. The ladies do all of their
work with few exceptions, and families that
are worth $50,000 to $100,000 don't put on
as much style as the family of some retail
clerk in South Carolina who lives on a saia
ry of $35 per month. We have churches
and schools in almost every settlement. Our
free school system is the best in the South; in
many places running 10 months in the year.
I spent the year 16835 in Florida looking
for an easy job, and big money. I took in
the whole State and have talked with many
people from California, who left T1ea to
get rich in a short time, and I find in every
instance they wish they had stayed here;
and between Texas and Florida for the poor
man, we have many advantages to offer
where Florida has none.
I would say by way of warning to the
young men that all the soft jobs are taken,
and the only chance to climb the ladder to
fame and foritune, is by grit and muscle.
As this is my first attempt at writing up
Texas, I will quit for this time, lest I wery
the patience of the reader. Althoug~h I feel
that I have but poorly descrird the beauty,
fertilityv,.a ld-aiiages of our county. You
w7J1-ha4 to comae and see it to appreciate it.
With many warm wishes for the- prosperity
of my friends in old Clarendon, 1. remain
A TE3maN.
A Question Asked.
Mn. Enrron: Christmas has come and
gone ; 1887 has been numbered with the
past. The new year, with all its viacissitudes
is in the present. What a beautiful link
forms the figure 1888; its attractiveness can
only be commensurate with the thought
how we should live and when we must
die.
I neec not write of the times, the plieasulre
of the day, neither give dcts of the Panoia
festival, for you have done more than juis
tice to the occasion. You have told the tale
and done it well. Your racy pen pains
the picture; we have read- and reread yeur
article, and the mnore rye read the pronuder
I feel, end congratulate our noble women,
whose efforts did not lprore a failure. Tfo
them we give the praise; go where youi will
this earth can produce no lovelier womnn
than is found at Pamiola.
IAside from the Panola jubilee, a strong
efort was made to have a Christmas tiree at
Andrew-s Chapel, for the MIethodist Saday
School. All effort proved unavailing. Those
who pretended to lead, w;ho we believe to
be. christians, kicked aginst it. What a
shame! Some m'en s religions are .o shallow-.

PLAN OF INSTRUCTION.
The most approved text books are used. The blackboard is deemed an
essential in the class room. The meaning of an author is invariably required

extent of ground covered, our motto shall always be Thoroughness. T
this end, we shall require that every lesson be katrned, if not in time for th
class recitation, then elsewhere. No real progress can be made so long a
the pupil is allowed to go on from day to day reciting only half-perfect lesson
