We Lave tried it and we know. See

—The Debating Club met at the
Academy on last Monday night, and
passed off an hour or two very pleas
antly. The debate was quite lively,
and the affirmative gained the ques
tion. It was : “Should there boa
law compelling military education ?”
The Society promises to be one of
great interest.
—The public roads of Marion and
surrounding c (unties are being
worked and placed in thorough re
pair. Some slight changes have
been made in two or three of the
roads, so as to straighten them or
give them firmer ground. Mr. Mun
ro lias improved his lane greatly by
making it perfectly straight.
--We yesterday received the fol
lowing note which wc take pleasure
ia giving to the public:
All hail to the three young Mr.
Donnins, who unsolicited, mounted
horses after the heavy rain on Tues
day evening, and followed a man of
73 years and helped him up the
Sumerlin hill with their own strong
arms, which ho could not have as
cended, with loaded waggon, without
aid. Long may they live to bless the
world with their generosity.
A Beneficiary.
To Our Delinquent Subsrcibers.
Last week wo sent oiil to those of
our delinquent subscribers, whom we
c< u and notseo personally, a statement
of past indebtedness to us, with the re
quest that, they pay us up by the 20t h
inst. We did this because wo havo
pressing need for the money, and nt
that <ime we expect to erase irom 01 r
books the names of all subscribers,
who havo not, by that time, paid us
iu advance for tho Ano US through
the summer.
Necessity compels us to lids course.
We have been sending our paper to
a very large, list of subscribers, who
have not paid us. This has been
done at a heavy expense to us,
which wc are no longer able to carry,
We cou’d not continue this expense
through the summer, if we would.
The times are hard, and everything
used in a printing office mist be
paid for cash.
The Aik,us is now (lie best coun
try weekly published in the State.
A comparison of it with any newspa
per coming to this office or this town
will prove the excellency claimed.
We intend to keep it up to, and if
possible surpass, its present high
stand.
Spring Has Come.
The buds, and violets, and leaves
and musquitoos are putting forth and
guano breathes lornl in the air ; the
leathered songsters of the woodlands
pursue the early worm, and warbleth
their warbletcs—it must be Spring!
March cavorts over the land and
windeth his windy horn, while the
soaker smiletli on the “crooked,” to
brace liis system. The “doodle”
diggetli a pit in tho sand to entrap
tlie insect, and the bumble-bee uin -
blcth on the plum bloom —now, amt
it Spring.
The thunder rumblcth in the dis
tance and the lightning playcth in
the clouds ; the fires lappeth up dry
grass ns a dog lappe h up water, ■ nd
winsome wife strolceth the beard oi
her husband and msinualeth for a
new bonnet—don't say it is not
Sprng.
The oats, Hie bafly, tlie wheat and
ryo and the farmer that p'antoih all
cotton, are all green in the field, and
the plow routeth up the fallow and
he new ground. The cow 10-eth o
the hillside aim the litile niggers
walloweth in the sand—do you i}t*ib!
its being So ing ?
The green grass pccpech out in
the meadows ami ftierchatrs faces
groweth long at the counter. The
uild goose hawks high and the
Greenbacks have ilown to the NorLn,
and not one left to i ipc on 1 lie farm
—don't this iook like Spring?
The ice is broken up on the lake,
and the Bankrupt is broken up in the
store. The lambkins gamboleth on
the green, and the cotton buyers
gambleth in the futures. The ant
si arpcirei li his sting for the approach
of the sluggard and the supplier on
time doubtelh the price of bacon and
corn—this has the physique of
Spring.
The dog-wood spreadetb its while
blooms in the swamp, but cotlon
spreadetb not its white fleece in the
warehouse. Silence breathes lang
uor in the streets of the city, and the
idle clerks sucked the heads of the
ivory tipped canes.—if these are
not,Jwhat are signs of Spring.
The wise lien layetli a cream like
egg in her nest, and the watchful
housewife crietli “shot” to the hawk.
The fountains of spring gush crystal
streams, and the spring poets gush
emetic doggerel.—These arc symp
toms of Spring,
The sky looks blue in the heaven
and the times looks blue on the earth.
The landscape is happy in the dis
tance, and the future looks happy in
commerce. Thcquandam merchant
0
goctli afisbing, to “take” the Any
customer of the crc eks, and the edi
itor looketk longingly for the cash
subscriber and fiiidetti him not
There is a muchness of quiet in na
ture an “biz.” —If this aint spring,
let the rocks hide us when it does
come.
-—Dull times are timos for men to
advertise to make times better.
—There are times to be merry and
times to bo sad. It tills lias any ref
erence to anything in particular wo
don’t know anything about it.
Mayor's Reception.
The Mayor, on Calling the Council
to order, announced that the present
meeting was rather an experience or
enquiry meeting, and that the inv -
ted guests would be called in their
aider, to give in their experience ns
to their success in doing nothing for
a living.
Mrs. Olivia Wooding consort of
Mr. Opossum Wooding was the first
name called. No appearance. Sent
word by a friend, however, that she
was out so. king employment; Be
ware, Olivia, the eyes of the Philis
tines be upon you.
Louisa B.—ln answer to tlie
question of how arc you getting
along, answered, “tolerable 1 thank
you.” “But what are you doing for a
livoing?” “Oil, yes sir, ; I am liv
ing with aunt Hannah”—not tho
Hannah that had something to mat
ter with her, but Mrs. Hannah Bur
rice. She boasted that she had pro
visions plentiful, since Christmas,
had bought peck of potatoes, one
shoulder and half gallon syrup for her
self and child, was out of employ
ment. His Honor hinted that lie
thought country air would be good
fur her complaint.
Can 1 na B.——enters tlie sanc
tum sanctorum. Stilly very and
somewhat indignant, a lady of ele
gant leisure, but iias two sons hired
out to support, her in idleness.
Oh didn’t J> are field cut a dash
As she left doui dur white trash,
Hut when >ho was recalled again
She didn’t display so much disdain.
Mrs. or Miss Mary L appears
in answer to tiie call. Somewhat in
dignant, and a little bit mortified—
said she lived on her own resources;
had worked, if she was not working
now; had means, notwithstanding
she got no pay for last year, the year
before, and. year bifirc that. Poor
thing, little did she know that this
spiteful announcement would mike
out against her (ifon trial) a No. i
Case.
Scilla Pitts is going to the country
as soon as her money gives out, and
said it was about out now, boards
with Mrs. Barcfiel, same place Mrs.
Olivia Wooding lias been siopping at,
said she had a very dear brother that
gave her money whenever she called
for if, has no intention of spending
11 io summer in town.
Isaac Bushin, Emma Peterson,
Becky Burrill, Lizzie Freeman, .Susan
8., and Luisa Evingham, all sable
specimens of the At dean decent, were
called in order, and after good ad
vice by the Mayor, were dismissed.
This meeting I hope will be long
remembered ar.d I think our worthy
J/nyor did right to call it thereby fa
mi iarizing the ignorant with ordi
nance No. 29—t00 much thieving is
going on, and a stop must be put to it
let the cost be great or small; too
many idlers iu our little town. Fair
notice lias been given, let the wise
take warning.
Hurah for Mayor Hinton says eve
rybody. Yours,
