The latest eleotion returns receiv ed on the Hill showed that Ool Es- till was still pulling for the plnm.and that Col. Guerry had made a mighty mistake when lie advised men to vote as they pray. We voted as Mrs. Stocking prayed, and therefore voted right. But isn’t it curious what strange bed-fellows politics make, anyhow? We notice that one of the great daily papers—great in its own egotistical estimation—and some people still condemning the ministers of the gospel who raised their voices for prbhibition, and it iB wonderful to note in what great fa vor are the fellows who winked their off eye on the corner, smiled, and told the boys how it would be. We, too, have been taught to believe that the prohibition question should not be mixed' with politics, and all we folks who have boys to raise and girls who will be so foolish as to marry, had better keep an eye on that fact, or those who vote as they pray might open the flood-gates on us. But all the rough,rugged places have been smoothed over here by the “balm of life” Bent us by the happy candidate who wanted *us to rejoice with him over his success. He is elected right now when he runs again; so said the boys as they rejoiced. Little Emory Langston was very painfully hurt last week by being kicked in the face by a mule. The little fellow iB just four year old and an expert rider, and had previously handled the mule with ease, but mules are like the other fellows’ trick—never safe to bet on. We are ibformed that Mr. Smith Dennard and Misd Maggie Jones were married to-day at the home of the bride, Hon. W. Till of Elko offi ciating. Messrs. J. F. Irby and Coleman Hodge, two popular young gentle men of Henderson, were on the Hill this afternoon. ' . Misses Mary and Louise Davis are spending the week with friends near Elko. Ool. S.-D. Henderson, of Hender son, passed over the Hill last week enroute, by the people’s line, to ac cept & position with the Botan Fruit Company. Mrs. L. F. Cater, Mrs. Ida Rog ers and Mrs. J. W. Simmons of Per ry spent a* day last week on Mr. Ga- ter’s farm on the Hill. June 22, 1902. Here is an extract from a 1< written by a country school teach er in the far South. It shows a spirit that is undaunted in the face of difficulties and that will, transform the educational condi tions of our Southland. Some of the country teachers might do well to invite the trustees to visit the schools, and then pray for rain: “I had there an attendance of eighty or more pupils 4 but as I was boarding at home, I found time to pursue my studies as test I could. One of my teachers taught me Latin for a while through fiiail. The term passed away quite smoothly until small pox made its appearance. I had helped nurse two cases before the doctors knew what it was. I did not catch it after all. Because of the epidemio my school closed the third of May. It did not last long however, so, by the first of June I was again on my way back to teach in the same county where I taught the sn m mer befor e , but in a different neighborhood. The place of which. I now speak is thirty miles from the railroad,and when I arrived on the school grounds and took a look at m y school house, and at the child*® as they gathered, I felt that this, was indeed a needy neighbor hood. “This house has two doors whioh open with a squeaking noise; and no windows. It is built of logs with the cracks left in between'. I cannot describe the $oats. When it rained, we moved around to the dry places left in the house, to avoid getting wet. The patrons readily hgreed to. build a new house, hut it was hard work get them to begin. Finally one day as I had the three trusteess at the school house talking to them, there came up a rain. They were ashamed to move around as we did to keep from getting wet, so consequently they got a good drenching, and I rather enjoyed it. After ihis, a start was made on the new house, and it will bo ready for my use next summer. —Southern Educational Notes. Fourth of July Excursion Bates.

For several .^months “Dettnard Dots” have been neglected, The Judge having been too busy to gather news. He „is not disposed to gloat over his success, for hav ing been through the mill him self,he is prepared to rejoice with those who are glad and to weep with those who mourn. Ho hae long sinoe beoo'me reconciled to the doctrine of whatever is, is beat and every wind blows good to someone. The fishing season is about over and I haven’t wet a hook nor eat en a fish. Though no great amount of rain has fallen here sinoe April, crops show up very well. Within the past few days lice have taken to cotton and ate using it pretty roughly ^ It 'is said they arte worse than ever known before, but we most always sq,y this when anything a little out of the ordi nary takes place. Mr. A. H. Woodard, with his family have been spending sever al days with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Woodard. They left to ; day for St. Simon’s Island, where he accepted a position af ter the burning of the mill at Mc Donald a few days ago. Mrs. H. T. Beall of Macon is vis iting her parents, Hon. and Mrs, J. H, Davis. Mrs. J. N. Andrews of Roberta is visiting her paaents, Mr. and Mrs. J, O. Sandefer. Mrs. R. R. Woodard,aft6rvisit ing relatives here, has gone to Wayside where her parents live, Mr*. and Mrs. Brjnson of Still- more are visiting the parents and other relatives of Mrs. Brinson. , Spring Fever. ^ , Spring fever is another for billiousness. It ' is more ous than most people think. A tor- nrtrl 'innnfiim Li-vurnlei ' —Mr. E. L. Dennard broght to town Tuesday morning Some large cotton stalks, upon the leaves of which bugs resembling potato bugs were feeding. We are told such bugs have attacked, cotton near Elko. Farmers should not delay, but lookout for these pests and apply the remedy promptly. Paris green mixed with flour will kill potato bugs, and it is said ootton seed meat will drive them away. ; If You Cun't Sleep At Night use Smith’s Nerve Restorer. It is a true Nerve Tonio.

The rapid growth of the cotton manufacturing industry in the South, says the Macon Telegraph, is revealed in all its imposing pro portions in the simple announce ment that up to May 80 of this year Southern mills took 1,428,- 579 bales, or 42 per cent, of the entire quanity taken for consump tion in the mills of the United States.
