account of the Ku-Klux. He has
been liere several months, never car

been molested, never seen a Ku-Klnx,
never heard of any, except through
the Northern press, and never knew
a more peaceful and orderly commu-'
nity than this county, and he says he;.
feels a great deal safer here than he
did in Pittsburg, where be came from.
Y\’e asked him if he had ever been-
snubbed or badly treated by reason of
his being a Northern, man. His reply
was that he had never seen more e ev

• whom he now lives. And yet he is
constantly receiving letters from his
friends, expressing apprehensions for
his safety. ‘ - --.
These, gentlemen ore of the right'

An uusiiphisticuted youth, in an

picnic we mentioned Last week. Hefl

thinks he is in love, but he’ll get ovei
that when he grows older.
The members of the Joint High
Commission signed a treaty at Wash-/
ington last Monday. None of th:
principle issues were determined, bul
were left to two boards the member/
of which are to be chosen by the Uni
ted States, England and foreign ppw
ers. One of the boards will decide oi
claims involving questions of interna
tional policy, such as the Alabam
claims; and the other will uetermin-
miscellaneous claims. Altogether th
Commission was a big splurge and :
grand burst.
A carpet-bag ieg.siator in Alabam:
writes to us fo know when the Alaba
ma claims will be settled, and } rv
m .eh will be the reduction of i axes in
Alabama when the claims are paid!

Please let me give yon a brief des
cription cf our picnic at Mr.. E. L.
Felder’s mill which came off last Wed
nesday. In the morning we nm around
rite lively hunting conveyances to go
out in. At last we procured two wag
ons in which we carried..two of the
most , precious loads that was ever ■
hauled anywhere.
Swift came out wo had a uxice fire to
cook fish, boil coffee etc. But- soon
dark and threatening clouds began io
gather above us, wliich prompted us
to repair to the. mill house, and "bh/
what a snateliing.iime we had,, at least-
I did "‘you bet.” Dinner being ready
and announced we racked up to the ta
ble that was so nicely c:;d bounteously
spread by ijmss highly esteemed la-
lies Mrs. SwLt rj.cl Sirs. Felder, and
we did eat althongli it was mining all
the time our of doors. ' ' ;
After dihuer we threw corn at each
other. Some of them were sprinkling
ineal on we men’s fine- clothes, all but
me, I was off talking smashed turnips.
The rain slacked, and /we returned
to Perry, having had a mighty nice
time. Y.

Sound criticism thisi from the Shre-

the expression “per year.’ -It is not

A Plan in life.
“What is your plan in life, Ned
die?” I asked a small hoy, -turning from
bis. big brothers, who were talking a
bout theirs, to which he had been lis
tening, “What is yours' Neddie?”
“I.am not big enough for a plan
yet, ” said Neddie, “bnt I have a pur
pose.”
“That is good; it is not every on:
who has a purpose. What is your pur
pose, Neddie?”
“To grow up a good boy, so as to b<
a good man like my father, ’’said Ned
die. -
And by the way he said it, it wa:
plain he meanj.it. . His - father was i
noble Christian man; Neddie could
not do better than follow in his steps.
A boy with, such a purpose will not fail
of his mark.
