The Picnic Given by them a Pleasant One?Other Happenings of Interest. Jonesvillb, Aug 29lh ?The rain was heavy last Friday and Saturday and a freshet was feared, but the water couises did not get out of the banks to do any harm, and now as we have had two days of sunshine, all fears of an Aug ist freshet have passed off. A protracted meeting commenced at the Methodist churcli last uight which wiil continue through the week. Itev. Oamak, of Union, will assist the pastor in the preaching. The picnic given by the Jonesville Guards and their friends at the Forest bridge last Friday was well attended and a happy occasion until the middle of the afternoon a cloud came up and broke u the last part of the performance, which was the contemplated sham bat tle by the company. The dinner was bouutiful and of the best. Mr. O. F, Webber furnished from his farm near by water melons for the crowd, for which he deserves the thanks of the picnickers Huuior>>us speeches were made by Messis. W. H. S, Harris, G. T. Hyatt, Eber Smith, and Capt. It W. Scott. But little interest 8'ems to be manifested in the approaching primary election, but I guess that the tide will change tomorrow, and the usual interest will bo The bank building here has received a new coat of red paint with white penciling, which makes quite a lively appearance, where money is dispensed to the needy. Two colored men have bought a lot on Church street, aud are building a brick house for a black smith shop. The two gineries in town are both eady for the new cotton crop and tli?y aie prepared to turn out three biles per hour at each gin, which will aggregate sixty bales in trn hour*.

Lipscomb, are all in Northern markets, buying stocks of fall goods The Joresville Guards are preparing for Manassas in a few days They get transportation for forty eight men The lx>)8 expect to have a good time. The railroads are not giving any reduced rates, for they know it wouid operate against them to do so, because the government would claim the same low rates for theroldiers, and that would cut the pi ice of their transportation and they would pore than likely lose by making a cheap rate.

New York, Aug. 19.?Although hampered with bankruptcy proceeding, in his (flice at No 49 Exchange place, Daniel J. Sully yesterday informed his friends that he still considers himself in the light bf a prophet on cotton. He says that he is convinced that instead of a bumper 3rop of 12 000,000 bales, the c*op will aot exceed 10,750,000 bales. "There is a great deal of misconception in regard to the coming crop," said Mr. Sully, "The yield is almost bound to fall below the popular estimate, From the ?reat acreage already a considerable abandonmeut has taken place, and a further decrease will occur when the picking seaaou nun* rtu i i tie pressure on labor becoui a gieat. "Despite all attempts of the govern nent and outside agencies, the lull weevil has not been curbed in its onwaid jourse. When the true condition of the irop is known and the buyer of the raw product fully realizes to what extent the :onsumption will exceed the nrodnetion i demand such as never before occurred will brevail."

Laziness, in a greater or has dearie, j haa probably existed a:nee the fall ?>f Adam, but with all our tioasted pn>gje.sa remains a moat common and unreproved sin. It causes more failures than any i one evil, the drink habit not excepted, and claims its victims from all grades and conditions of society. Laziness is not regarded as disreputable, or especially harmful, but merely as a mild hindrance to progress or ambition, which is the main cause of danger. Laziness in , children is rarely ever reproved, except i in a joking manner. It is really a fea;ful disease, which will eventually en thrall body and mind if no remedy be applied All over our land are miserable homes, wrecked by laziness. The lazy , father fails to provide for the needs of his family, and the lazy mother neglects i work and duty to husband and children, to enjoy the luxury of doing uothing unless she feels like it. ( The lazy merchant, farmer, law\er, doctor, or preacher, teacher, or evt n edi tor, reap what they sow, although they may never admit that love of ease is the i cause of their failure i Laziness is the twin brother of selflillness, and grows with cultivation, as dots other vices. Only the indepently rich can afford to indulge this luxury, and they must pay the penalty in weak and undeveloped mental aud moral faculties. Instead of txbausting our strength and energy upon opposition to intemperance, gambling and like recognized sinB, why not unite in a crusade against laziness? Not only the laziness to be found in the kitchen, field, on the street, or begging at our doors, but the laziness that flourishes in high places, and has only money to make it respectable. If unable to join heartily and strenuously in a fight against laziness, the prognetor of poverty, want, vagrancy, failure, and many other ills, we can at least deal a tellr g blow by setting an example of industry. Get. rid of laziness physically, mentally, and above all, morally, the other evils will disappear as the dew before the suu.?Oxford, Miss, Eagle. ? The Harris Family. Mr. T.

Kirby, August 20,1904. ? ?3?. HI - -r - ,, A Business Proposition. In modern business, integrity is just as essential an element of success as skill, industry, persistence or any other commercial virtue. A reputation for honesty, ^obtained by long and continuous square dealing, is a necessary asset, upon which permanent business prosperity depends. For instance a merchant advertises a big cut price sale and people find on investigation that he or they are not selling as they advertise, right there is where they make a mistake, their reputation for integrity and honesty is gone, and it is a true saying, that you can fool some people for a while but you can't fool all the people all the time. We advertise what we sell, We sell what we advertise. I W.I. Beaty & Company. wm/smmMmmmmmmmmmmmw | lIThe Reason! | m OO many people are poor and hard up, m g|j is because thpv npvpr tp!pH b& ?
