BY A RESIDENT OF FORTY-FIVE YEARS.
• Yard-long Bean. — Having- seen
Rime notices of this vegetable iu the
papers, a gentleman informs ns that
that is not the correct* mime. He says
tlie proper .name is .'-.-i-pro-ugu'; pea
and lie ought to know, for h” has rais
ed them about fifty years and liis fath
er before liim raised them..
Weather and Crops.—While, good
rains and fair crops .are. reported gpiD
craily, we are sorry to learn that iu
the lower 5th district (if this county,
tlk> rains have been very partial' and
insufficient; and-the crops, as a con
sequence, are poor, indeed.
Killed ry Lightni; :g.—Two cows
walked together to the branch hi the

Lookout for the Engine.'—The
railroad force commenced work in New
Hope on Wednesday; and by this time
they have, doubtless hiyetl .their feet in

In a- very short time all the grading will

Will rr Never End?—The intense
cold weather still continues. “We have

Some of the young men went down to
skate on Big-Indian day before -yes
terday, and come back in half an hotur,
v witli their ears and noses frozen.—
-Ne$jly all the dogs in town have had
^11 their bark frozen off, and they can

John Smith grailuatedbeforel entered
and I am, therefore, ignorant Of his
characteristics as as a school-boy. He,
doubtless, like those who succeeded
him, had his “tiranglements. ” Among
those over whom my first teachers
wielded the rnlc and the rod were Bill
Bro wn, Bill Royal, John Gardner, Cal
vin W. Felder, Tom Salter, Smith Dav
enport, Guilford West, John Laidler,
Jr., and Aldeu Hall, who were nearly
and quite grown. Of those nearer my
my own age and size—Jackson Pattis-

Allen, John C. Staley, Edd and Barsh
Felder, Sanders D. (Books) Outlaw,
Fort Morgan, SOab Reese, SeabS and

George Scott, aiid others, Alden Hall
hud no fingers and never shnt his eyes
or mouth. His-ingenuity and skill in
the use flf'-Ms fingefiess hands was
remarkable'; . being accommodating,
cheerful anil witty, he' was a favorite,
learned rapidly, and upon leaving
school wavs elected and served as bailiff
of the town district Tlie perquisites
of his office and what he made by re
pairing chicks yielded him a support.

Sam was not pauiished-for that Lneve.r

smoothly- With all his.studies but geog
raphy, lie could not- remember from
one recitation - to tlie m-xfc the direction
of north, south, east ami west. Cain
Guerry was a fighter until Bil) Nichols
gave him a-very severe thrashing. Fort.
Morgan was an expert- in getting up
mischief and avoid the penalty. He
vyas a graceful speaker and the ladies
man of the school. Fort, Sanders, Hick
and Jack were chronic cases-; and the

possible, to a fault; lie was once pun-'

who managed to shirk out of it by
falsely accusing and proving that lie

and scrupulous obedience to his parents

prosperity since then up to the time I
reeeiyetj liis hast friendly gr ading, ami,
doubtless, until now, and daring life,
is mid will be the fulfillment of tlm
proniise-to all who honor father and
mother' as' he did. Although true it is
paiiifal to remember the sad fate of
some jvhose failure to obey “the firgt
commandment with proinise.’Yind their
non-attention to their sisters were as
markedaud as jioticeJible as was JJtinnV
obedience and attention.
John Laidler poked fun ataiftl teased
our'crowd, and pa" one occasion we ral
lied onr whole force (about 10) .armed
with striugs and determined to ham
per Kim* “At liim boys!” was oiir
captain’s command,'aiid at him we went
gallantly anil. with a shout, but were
repulsed. A second and third onslaught
Were followed with the same result.
•Desks, chairs, chairs, beuc-Ugs, books,
slates an d urchins were - hurled and
scattered ia every direction,- aiid for
the simple and only- reason that we
were obliged to, we proclaimed him
.victor and master of the field, Our
cole of honor required that anil wen,
adhered to it. .’
We had a show;—a circus—in the
woods near by; had a first-rate clown;
Hick Oliver was ring master, Hie Kent
door-keeper and Alc-imns, Cann, Bill
Nichyls and Sanders-were the riders ;
price- of admission, two buttons—chil
dren half price. Just as this show
proved a success the master caught us
in the midst of a performance and
added an afterpiece which killed it.
Strong efforts to revive it proved a fail
ure, and we fell back on shinny, which,
with town ball, eat, leap frog, racing
and. jumping were our principal games
and amusements.
The only style -of our coats was the
roundabout. We wore only osnahnrgs
alld domestics, wool and palm leaf
hats,-russet brogans and stitclidowns
in winter and went barefoot iu summer.
No departure in quality of goods or
style was admissible. We wanted store
bought clothes, and gallouses (suspen
ders,) but couldn’t, get ’em; and, there
fore, being in the majority we resolved
our crowd into a kind of aristocracy,
and determined that we would allow no
infringement of our inalienable right
to wear osnaburgs and round coats
some other way we compelled them to
leave, come to terms or stand off. Ab
Knight strutted up one morning, with
a new suit made of bed ticking. We
lifted him forthwith and that night his
papa came practically to the conclusion
that it was economy for Ab to wear
home-made truck -to school and save
his fine (?) clothes' for. Sunday. Fort
Morgan wore a frock broadcloth coat
once, and the master saved ns the
trouble of disposing of that turnout by
riddling it with his hickory. A silk
stove pipe hat appeared and we joked
and langhed.it off the fellow’s head and
out of sight in short order. Eph wore
a wide stock-with ear-lifters, anil old
man Quinn made a single remark about
it, when Eph’s collar wilted and stocks
felL The first pair of hoots had red
tops; the ownertook offense at a nnm
her of us for trying ’em on in a comer—
just to see how young America felt
with boots on, that was all—and we
had to let ’em alone, and did. After
awhile “go it boots” would ring out
eveiy .now and then, anil there was no
proving who did it; brogans and stitch
downs whipped that fight shortly.
Our games were played just in front
of the academy and witnessed by the
girls from the door and windows. They
were often quite exciting, and when a
well contested game ended a throwing
up of luits, a hearty “three times three"
rang out from the victorious party and
their sympathisers-who- were lookers
on,-and the girls waved their white
bonnets and handkerchief from the
door and wiudaws. Bill >nd Jack
wrestled, Fort and Hick van a race,
Jack ami Fort were victorious, and tlie
honors conferred upon the young Cor
sican immediately after his first victory
in the streets of Paris, nor those of
proud' England paid tor her coming-
iron Duke when he first triumphed at
Soringgapatam, were not more grate
ful than were the honors won by those
boys. Jennie’s and Julia’s Smiles and
bouquetts- -thrilled -them—seated -by
them they were richer than the Roths,
eliiids and felt more highly honored,
doubtless, than Albert did when lie
first sat by his royal bride, or Clovis by
i he side of liis beautif ul Clotilda. Their
imagined future, too, skirted with
evergreens, dotted with sparkling foun
tains. strewn with flowers and arched
with domes and spires of magnificent,
air-castles, can be better imagined
than described. Listen, ye boys and
girls who-are now where.Jennie, Julia,
Fort and- Jack were. Their love scrapes
and vows were not sealed as they de
sired and intended them—at the altar,
for their school days soon ended, .they
separated, and their future experience
practically contradicted what is said to
be the language of true hearts:in the
last-, anil verified the truth of the first
lines of tlie following familiar quota
tion- 1 -■ ~
“ ’Tis.said that absence conquers love,
But oil! believe it no!.'**

Letter from Hayneville.
Hayneville, July 31, 1872.
Mr. Editor: lintended to have writ
ten to you every week, but was too hot
and lazy. It has been too hot to do
anything except to lie put on a shady
piazza, and make a negro bring inbiit-
termilk from the bottom of the well.
You say in your last something about
a recent picnic, and also that a Perry
gent went home feeling bad by reason
of being kicked by a Hayneville lady.
Can’t-yon tell ns the names-? WecanT
guess, for we have several yoting ladies
in this region, all of them calculated
to make a man’s heart go pit-a-pat, and
also to make his brain go whirligig.
Our cotton crop is good, if we can
only get rain from now ont. The weed
is-luxuriant, hut-the heatr of the Inst
few-days is-burning it. Some spots
get rain ard some do not. However,
we hope for the bast and do the best
we can. . A. Z.
Letter from Henderson.
Henderson; July 30, 1872.
Mr. Editor: There is.no news of
any importance in tliis section to write
you. Onr farmers are grumbling a lit
tle as a general thing, bnt not enough
to make a body feel very blue. Some
think they will not make much, cotton
on acconnt of the drought. It is amus
ing to see in some of the papers such
expressions as this—“this hot weather
is, the very thing for cotton.” A few
-days of warm, bright weather was
needed a short time ago/ but “the wec-d
has so much sap in it now that it can
not stand a protracted drought. It
ought to have a good rain at least once
a month.
There has been a good deal of rain
in. this section, but it lias been-in spots.
One man would- get a good rain, and
liis neighbor get none. Some corn
that was thought ruined has come out
wonderfully in the past two weeks.
Yonra truly, Jonah.
