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 schools. Wlt .t we YiVean by this, is that the syst-tn is better now thill it used to be some eight or ten years a.fO. The cmrseof su ly is not so tedious-; analitical aii§' are brought filter reejuisition, anil you do hot btfve itr do so much wprk. to arrive .at desired conclusions. Schools are more centraliz'd and of course par take to a greater extent of the high er older ohcla’sification and arranges menl than In rmofore.

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 ertion to aiGuSe 1 Self- Our land in this county it not what Ve call Virgin, but it lies well.

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- Ti-?-e.Viv.v, >tite vitereafc. of iyotir county, no oue can figute out the vast amount of good a first-class; wide awake, widely circulating pa per would do tfiis county. To have it, patronize it. Every mtii jn Jes teison county at least ahoufd take 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 session arid upohlits vast estate was ,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 ■ of fcli©road*; fit vvae to > turn out but he mad • the effort and passed-safely, e&ch of the oth»rs did likewise and ihough.narrowly escip ing went on. A few-days afterward 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 the rock ard tnoneyithcretlnlending to teach 'them a lesson that in-help ing others. vve often help ourselves, Help your paper friends, ii will help you.
