BEWARE WHERE U GO A-COURTINE Social Items---Mill Folk---Attemptcd Sui cide---Funeral, From all appearoinces it seim that the brumal days are gono and the estival are in their atca(d. With the chango green f ilingo tins begun to put forth its beonliifil a ppear ance, little birds have begun to chirp their sweet FongS; the far nmr bas begun to till the koil for anoth er crop, lion tnmo is in order, guano is plentiful, sooi th old woinan can get a new dreks on that lien the girls new hats and John a pair of brogan shoos ; May ' mill be here and what, a nico timo at the big mneetinlgs Well, if it was not for the "ins,' there would be no pleasure and life would not be worth living, and on the other hand if there wore no couts'' a lazy man would never w >rk any, consequently his diges tivo organs would sool gkt so thoy wouldn't work, aid like an old wagon he would s, on lie no good. So you see every ti ig is for a pur-. pose. If you don't greasc a w:.gon it won't last, and if a person don't work to get gicased they won't last. We often think it ought to be a sin, whether it is or iot, for a lazy man's children to have to work so hard to keep their daddy from screaking. We have often thought that if we had had a "screaky daddy we would have pllayed out a little too, and' maybe we could have out lasted him, and if we Could, after ho was gone we would have now boxes put in and try, to make a very respectable old %nag on. If any person will visit a cot ton miil and soo the daddies that are being greased by their children they will say somotaling ought to be dono to check the tido. Those "screaky" daddies are the beat in formed men we have so to speak They are real .entertaining, and always among a crowd. They know just exactly how much grease it tak.:s to keep the wheel turning, and whenever the Cotton M ihl Co. fails to give their children enough to hesp that wheel greased without any work on their part they are then ready to seek cother quarters, anid the mill bhlinid them is no gtood. What a blessed thing it is that such menul are blessed with children, for it would be deplora ble to hear of .a man porishiing tc death on accont of laziness. Take 4. notic3 wo don't style every man at a cotton mill asB a "'screaky " man, but just those who don't work themselvyes and depend onl theiu little childroni for a support- A cotton mill is a good place for smart man. There is good mnono) for a working man. We know ol men that heave made handsomei sums at a cotton mill and redoomet their land from tunder a mnortgage TVho fau'mers have been making good use of' the dry weather. Somi are ready t~o plant and some hlavt pl antedl. U~r. IS. F. Cook, ('f Norris, plantet somue cott >n A pril 1st. W e wil: watch his patch. Mr. J . C.

Hi ha~s so1 l)ore uip to thlo time 0 year than lie over hats before, bu it don't mean that there is ,bnin1 more guano used. Hleretoforo ther were four other agents that sobi from Norris in largo quantities and this season Ihere liavo beei only two car loads sold there be0 sie what Mr. Garrett has sold. Mr. Garrett shipped over 20' tons of cotton seed from Norrisi the past few woeks. H~e has im ported and (oxported about 100 - tons of stuff fromf Norris and Norris in the past twelvo month H~e buys cotton soodl meal an hulls and sells at thle same price< the Liberty Oil MiU! whieh' i ~reat -acconmodation to the sul . rottading eommulnity.

The and is ievel, aud in a few years, if Mr. Garrett continues this, will make a bale of cottoi !o the acre. Jake is a hustler at any thing he goes at. The quietude of this little ham let was somewhat stirred up one evening last week over an attempt ed icide, the particulars of w hich were just this: The old woman has two girls, and these two gir's have for the time being what they style ''sweetheairta."' Th'e old wo mnan beinlg bitterly opposedI to any imore connection in the family, objects to the girls entertaining their "sweethearts.'4 The sweeit hearts being p~retty shrewd fellows and1 up to all kinds of tricks, had the girls to slip out and a vebioli' wvas in readiness for a pleasant ride. WVhen the old woman dis covered that she had been duped sho resolved to end her life l.y driaking laudanum. 01 coursw this broke up the ride, and th1c girls returned home to help sirve the life of their mother. With th< help of Dr. Justice, they succeedetc in saving her life. Well, this torn up the boys' p)lay house for th< timo being, and the next thing ir order to end their troubles and giv< temp~orary relief was to take thi same vehicle and visit "U~ncli Ben's" drug shop at Pickoe. Welj of course the boys were trouble< and took on a little too much-. I would have taken the best medi Scal skill in the State to have tolt which looked the worst next day the old woman, the boys or th<~ girle, and we imagine they felt jus about alike. We hear that WraI has been dreuming a good dea since. R"v. T1. Y . Nelson will preacl SMrs. L. A.
