by liis kind acts, and day by day

All honor to the guardian of our

watches us seeing that harm hefalls
us not. His duty is not simply to
seize law-hroakors and imprison
them; he has higher work, lie
guards the walk of honest men
and prevents them falling into j
harm; he, by his very presence intimidates
wrong-doers and holds
them in subjection. He makes it
, possible for unprotected men to go
about their daily duties without
concern as to their personal safety.
And his vigilance is ever over our
mothers and sisters, to see thatdangerscome
not their way. How anxious
and troubled would wcltcnlmut

Hut we love this man most, because
he guards the little children. Up

how careful is the noble man in

If it approaches danger, lie takes

A tender loving spirit shines

Jonesville, July 81st.?After two
days fair weather, Friday and Saturday,
we had rain again Sunday
and Monday. Today is fair and
some of the old weather prophets say
that it will not rain for a day or
two; well, we shall know whether
they are correct a few days hence.
Cotton is certainly hurt by so much
rain and, the Iwttom land corn has
had much more rain than it needs;
hut it is alright, our country is in
good condition and we all live.
Mr. Ernest F. McWhirtor will
retire from his clerkship in the
hank and Lawrence (?. Southard
will succeed him.
A few venrs :iiro when :ill cnm
modifies wore so cheap, I expressed
myself as Winy in favor of higher
prices for everything, but L am i>erfectly
satisfied now on prices. I
am willing to cry enough. The
trusts have taken everything ami
they seem to have conscience. We
have a water trust just over at
(ilenn Springs. 1 am told that
they sell the water that bubbles up
out of the ground and runs down
the stream at thirty cents a gallon.
A party bought six gallons of the
water delivered at Jonesville the
other day and it cost over four
dollars.

few lines for your valuable paper
from this locality which we trust
will be welcome.
The rain still comes and for the

daily showers. Some of the
farmers were not through with
their ploughing when the rains
c'onimoneed and are anxiously
wishing for a "hold lip," others
are resting easy, but feel somewhat
uneasy over the watermelon crop.
The melons just now are not having
the beautiful red meat and delicious
flavor which this section heretofore
produced. They are fine,
but a little sunshine will soon bring
them to their former enviable
standard.
The school at Bethlehem opened
6n the sixteenth and now has on
its roll fifty-six names. The opponents
of summer schools see b>
these figures that there is a difference
of opinion and the farmer hat
determined to leave no stone unturned
for the education of hit
children.
Mr. Will Kelly and his friends
have been busy the past week getting
up a barlieeue at Klzie, which
came off on Saturday in the beautiful
grove to the south of the railroad.
A large crowd assembled
and the barlieeue was just what it
should be a success. The meatt
were well prepared and everyone
felt that he got his money's worth
A good many candidates wen
present and introduced to those
present as speakers by the Rev
John Farr. Those introduced
made short talks, the prideipal idet
being "the outs" want the office:
and "the ins" want to hold on t<
