“r. Alietiriulo,
Allkndale, April 23.—For sorae
-tAuu'^ast the people of this place have
entertained the Idea of having a pt<i
nie, so on Tuesday, tho 20th Inst, at
an early hour, quite a crowd q( ^Ue
AHendalelaos gathered at Youraan’s
Mill and spent the day in a very en
joyable manner. Too morntn^ was
spout in promenading, boat-riding,
private “tete-a-tetes," while a few en-
gaged In the' piscatorial art. At a
seasonable hour dinner was announced
when» all repaired to a shady little
grove on tho brow of- the hill, where
we found a real feastf spread upon the
table. There was rjf^’ abundance of
good things to refresh tho inner man.
Three Indies of por town composed
tiro committee of arrangements, and
upon them we must bestow our un-
bounded praise; f ir 'the elegant sfyle'
in which they conducted the whole
affair. After dinner the young people
took possession of tho ol i mill house,
and for several hours amused them
selves by tripping the light fantastic
toe. The music for the occasion was
furnished by the'" 4< Allendaie Band.”
Owing to the Inelemenoy of the
weather the crowd began to return
home Quite early, each feeling satisfied
with the amusement of the day, and
our picnic at the “Old Mill,” will long
be remembered by all who attended,
ns a most pleasant occasion.
On Inst Friday .night I had the
pleasuieof attendldg a sociable in Er-
winton.at the residence of Mr. W. Tho
occasion was tho birthday party of
dur. host’s eldest daughter, and the
great attention lavished upon their
guests will make it oue ever to be re
membered. Among the gentlemen
pressat was Doctor E. He tells me
that business Is very dull, owing to
great dearth in sickness. The crops of
both cotton and corn in Erwlnton are
promising. I saw good stands of cot
ton along the road from here to that
place. On Sunday, the 18th Inst., I at
tended tho Concord Church. We had
an excellent sermon f^om tho Rev. Mr.
W., of Talbotton, Ga. On Tuesday,
the 20th inst., the young men of Al
lendale organized the “Allendale So
cial Club,” composed of all tho young
men of our town. The object of this
club will be to afford social entertain
ments, and probably debating on some
important subjects.
Tha- Democratic (both white and
colored).clubs have palled meetings of
their respective clubs for the purpose
SJ re-organtzation. We have no fears
here of any ticket but the regular
Democratic nominee being elected.—

Blackville, Ayril 26.—The question
of the new. railroad opening between
Kingsville, 3. C., and .Milleii, Oo., is
something that tho people shoald look
Into at once. Wbere the growing de
mands of commerce are looking for
tbisroad some-steps should bo taken,
.find my object Is to call a meeting at
some convebtetat place and there make
th(^ first step. Whilo I have.always
been an advocate of those great pub^
die Improvements which are necessary
to meet the wants of ccramerc®, I have
constantly malntajneif that these great
enterprises should-be completed by
the most gconnmfcai mythknown.
r p think that an enetneeiveouW be-agi-
ployed to Btirrey tha - fhad fthb'wmild
not be justified in advising tho prose-
eutlon of‘ tho work involving very
large expenditures of mo’oey, until be
hasgsatisfled biraself that tho result
sought to bo obtaiued could be reached
at less expense than the majority of
roads; for tho country that it will run
through is goootHlly level,_pnd this
road can be l»ld and suecessfuily
operated In a few years. Tha only ex-
pensive partlT*W(5uld Be crossing the
rivers. As I’ saw hotM In ohe of The
papers that a charter bad been given
for this road, will you, Mr. Editor, as-
oorUin if sueh is the fact, and publjslj

obliged to havo a tloctor—not that
one Is needed at all, but' just to quiet
the female hysterlcks when any little
thing happens. Since we’ve lived
here I’ve had to send five tnl!o-< on the
run for a doctor two times just to
keep down the family bysterlcks:
Both times the patient recovered be
fore the doctor arrived, but then it
was such a comfort to have him
around and hear him say It was all
right and see him measure out a littta
yal^ow powder. It was only <Jay be
fore yesterday thst Ralph put our lit
tle Carl on thejdd roare and was lead
ing her along at the rate of about a
half a mile an hour, when the little
chap took a notion to fall off, and as
soon as the wind of it got to head
quarters, there was a wild female
rii«h for the scene of great disaster.
“Oh mercy, Qh the dear child. He’s
killed, I know he’s killed, poor little
darling. Oh my ClitW, ray child.
Ralph, I’ll whip you for this if I live.
Oh my precious. Just look at that
place on his little head. Children,
where Is your pa. Send for the doctor.
Oh mercy—what did we ever move
out here for, five miles from a doctor.
I was mighty busy planting peas and
so forth in my garden, but I suufied
the commotion in the air, and in a few
moments found em all bringing the
boy to the house and Mrs. Arp and
the girls talkedso fast and took on so
I cbnldn’t find out what bad happen

of a thousand whippings with nary
one performed. I looked In vain for
wounds and bruises and dislocations.
The boy is not serlou»ly.bnrt, said I—
is badly skeered and you' are making
him more so. Well, they dldnft call
me an unfeeling brute, hut they
withered me with looks and language.
I refused to send for a doctor, and re
tired from the scene. The boy cried
smartly and was about to sob himself
ta sleep wh|p 1 returned, and'they all
said frantically don’t let him go to.

the worst thing in the world for a fall.
They say they never wake up any
more when they go to sleep—ob,

—Who
Mr. Charles Dudley Warner dlsctissi
ingtho.question of. chihJicn’a reading 1
in theChrlstlan Union calls attention
to the ccmpjjratlvely small number of
persons, ev(<n la this country, who
read, “We boost,” he says, “about
the fcirculatlon of our newspapers.
The best of them are dally marvels of
news, of information, of miscellaneous
reading, of entertainment of all sorts.
They are the cheapest things manu
factured In modern days. Considering
the capital and bratnf. Industry and
money put Into every number, they
are at their price the wonder of our
civilization. Ami yet the most wonder
ful thing about them to me Is the
smallness of their circulation compar
ed to the population. Take such a
Hwrigs^yf wandering aimlessly
in the.deplbs oUthe forest. It bad
ceased raining, but the drops of water
werestiil rolling from leaf to leaf with
the light sound of a nearly-exhausted
(fountain trickling into its half-filled
basin, and In the distance the dark
path opened out into a wet glade of a
deep green of exquisite softness. The
trunks of the treee were very black,
their branches blacker still, and the
massive boughs of the chestnut treee
above the young painter’s bead seem
ed like the high arches of a cathedral
at the hour when all Is dark in the
church, and when-the colored windows
cast into the gloom gleams of light so
intense and so mysterious that yon
population of nearly two millions, and
radiating lines of quick distribution
that enable the newspapers within a
few hours to reach mllttotra more, and
set ^gulnst this the actual circulation .tint Is cast over everything, blending
of the three or four commanding jour
nals. It is a mere bagatelle.
*f‘Stlll there are many newspapers,
and a large proportion of the popula
tion sees one every day—that la, of
the city population; but the uumtier
of people who master the contents of a
daily newspaper is not large. Readers
pleli out oT them the items of business
or anjilscmont or politics that interest
them. And it is hardjy fair to credit
iour people with the habit of reading
because they glance at the daily news
papers; or necaTfBwtrr ttiucDOfiTTylh^y
are In the habit bf spreading the ex-
collect weettHes ovefr their faces
to keep tho flies from disturbing their
Sunday nap. I believe that the ma-fbeiter, to observe'better audio
Jot tty of business men read a book
a
very rarely; the majority of young
men In husftjes* and In society I fancy
read little—they do not give tbelr
evenings to rending, and are not apt
o t ike up a book unless It becomes
the talk of Society. Feoplo who spend
a great deal of njm'^y °n dress, on
dinners, on amusements, would think
It extravagant to buy a book, and if
one commended to them they will wait
till they can borrowJt or get it from
the library. They do not hesitate two
minutes about an ordinary two-dollar
diaper, but they will weit months to
borrow a flfty-cent book.”
^ He concludes that “one of the rea
sons why the young who read at all
read nothing but trash, as they are
said to do, Is because their parents, or
older persons Ahout.tixstn.jtitber.luvve
not the habit of reading or they also
rend trash. In such households os I
have ‘lesCribed, where the elders go
about declaring that there is nothing
to read, the children catch the tons
and think there Is nothing to. read—
that Is, nothing except tho latest story
..u*. „ , book or the picture-paper. In a lower
Fnrt la we lire h 4,trftHk of Society, where the mother
has neither'time nor inclination to
read anything, and tho fother pores
over the PoH< e Oazftte. it !s quite na
tural that his son should take the
Boys’ Own story-paper about ruffians
and burglars. The short of It U that
the children In this country follow
their'olders. And I suspect that the
vast majority of people care lj»t.le for
reading, except as It furnishes them a
smattering of news or gives them a
temporary excitement.”
