Ijc Prospects, Needs &c.
In this article we d> m,l projio-e
to give anything like and extended
sketch, but merely to touch or.
f/ibits of most interest to the'
people generally.
We iidve i t most parts of the
county, good, well systematized

is that the syst-tn is better now thill

operundi is of necessity Itune in the
country. The colored populatioh
are not taking the interest in schools
that ‘ they ought,’ but it is perhaps
traceable to the tact that “Igno'tice
is bliss,” and is generally satisfied
with its condition,rather prefering to
remain normal, than to ue any ex

MONEY UNDER.A ROCK.
An Appeal for Home.
T.cannot believe that the words
f now pen are to fall still born, but
rather that they are to go home
to tne minds of a sensible people.—
l shall begin this little article, by
censuting the people of Jefferson
county. There is one stigma upon
your otherwise lair name. You do
not liberally enough patronize your
county paper. There are men in
Jefferson county who, to day, ate
taking a half dozen papers when at
home they have a paper published
at the low rate of feJ.OO per annum
and they are -not subscrl ers, I tell
you Irien lg ibis,- is bad policy.—
Your county paper has a vital'con-

it, patronize it. Every mtii jn Jes

his county paper, your-uhited efforts
can make the paper thumper for the
people. By patronizing- our paper
and thereby raising it to the stand
ard that we could wish to see the
Journal of Jtffersin, we are each
benefited. We may not immedi
ately see or feel this—nevertheless
tlie result will the s mie. There was
a .nobleman once who had 1 irge pos

,a mountain. There" wats a road
which wound its way precipitously
' along' the baie*oi *his ‘mountain, all
of his tenants had to travel this road
in going to the market.—
One day as 'ne of them came to a
dange,ous this road he dis
covered a huge rock in the centre

passed-safely, e&ch of the oth»rs did

the nobleman assembled all of his
tenants at this rock, and going to it
turned it over disclosing a . large
purse of gold with a card ultached,
Upon yvhich was written : For the
one who rolls aviay this stone. He
then told them that he hkd p'aced
