He also dwelt apou the sub ject of Slander, and shoved that a per won can sfieftk -aland*roiiHly of nuother and yet speak the truth; for it is often tho c.u-'e that what we say of our neighbors may be strictly true, yet docs not concern us and had bed. been left unsaid.

Most of our farmers are behind with their work, owing to the cold weather aud incessant rains which have fallen since the expiration of the drougth of last summer and fall. The small grain looks badly. That sown early in the fall lias a good stand, but the spring crop is a total failure. In many of the fields sown iu grain you can scarcely tell that anythiug has baeu planted. I learn that the smallpox haR abont dis appeared from Thomsou. auii I judge it is true from the large number of wagons and other vehicles I suw pass going that way last Saturday. I think that the trade which fel off from Thomson during the excite ment will rapidly return as soon as the country' people find out the true condition of affairs. During the smallpox excitement Mesena employed a police man from South America, ! and that was the reason the Thomson boys | got bounced. But she has now removed j her quarantine, and Squire Jim Mandevill* j says that the prodigal from Thomson can j now come and get something to wet his whistle and stalk arouud as much as he pleasoH wituout fear of being molested. Union is on a regular boom. We have a flourishing day school in charge of Mr. T. W. Pilcher, of Warren county, numbering HO or more pupils; preaching on the 4th Sabbath of each month by Kev. T. J. Pil cher, the Pastor, and on the Ist Sabbath by Kev. Alford Davis, the blind preacher, and I Sabbath School every Sabbath, with Mr. \Y\ V. Ivey as superintendent. With these I think we can get along very well with the long, dry aummer days that will follow the ineessaut rains aud snows of the winter. Mr. E. A. Wilson, of thin neigoborhood, has already prepared and planted a 40-acre field of corn. Onr young friend, Squire Cuba Ivey, has found something with two blue eyes very attractive near Warrenton. Hope he will complete his arrangements soon, and that I may have the pleasure of attending him ou the happy occasion. It is reported that Dr. Jim Mandevillo, of Mesana, during the smallpox excitement. ; kept a disinfectant about his person that •melt like the advance agent of a guano factory. Personals —Miss Rubio Hnndley, one of the prettiest young ladies of Warrenton, was on a visit to the family of Mr. Shade Hawes, near Wrillbtsboro, last week. Miss Leila G.irrand, of Wilkes county, paid a visit to the Misses Waller, of this place, last week. Miss Lilia Farmer, of Thomson, wag vis iting Miss Dora Ivey, near Union recently. McDuffie County, Ga., March 9, 1885. MESENA DEPARTMENT. J. S. MAN DEVI LLE, Editor. Mesena is building up rapid'y. Grain crops me dutuuged considerably. I hear of some com plantiLg iu the neigh borhood. 'lhe exercise of the Mesena High School bas been resumed, and “How is the sraali pox ?” is a tiling of the past. Hr. Rogers is now comfortably located in his new house. Bro. “Next” was out last Sunday in his top bug y drawn by a spau of dapple grays. Such things indicate business. Alex Rogers will not buy a cap unless a mirror is convenient, but don’t a-k him the particulars. Col. Whitehead and Hon. Jno. Burkhal ter, of Warren ton, failed to down the boys of the 355 th in a fox chase. Ben Johnson has bought him anew bug gy. a lap dog and a beaver hat, and Union is not tv be behind iu dudeisin. The sth Georgia was out last week on a skirmish drill. They proved to be splen did tacticians in a beau fight. Bro. Iteese McCarthy says Leap Year boa past, and now its his time, so look out grie. There is a person hi Mesena who claims to hAve walked three miles, spent the day with a neighbor and returned home before dinner A social club, known as the “Innocent five.” has l>fcn organized in Mesena. They hid their first entertainment last week, which was a most enjoyable occasion Mr. B. F. Thompson has about complet ed his arrangements for the erection of a nice dwelling on North front street. The delegation from Mesena to meet Bro.‘‘Baxter ’ wero a comely trio. They looked liigh, stopped scattering and wore durby hats. Mayor Ivey went out last week and came home with two jugs of milk, a bag of tur nips, two sacks of coilards, a basket of chickens and his pockets full of potatoes. Wheeler’s cavalry never did better. | Sunday school was reorganized here last Sabbath with Messrs Hillman Fate as su j perintendent. James Johnson assistant, and | Joe Johnson secretary. Fathers and moth ! ere are earnestly requested to come out and i bring the little ones. Young man and young lady, dvc’t stay at home to read newspapers aud novels, but couie out and join in the exercises of the school. That young man with low cut shoes and ; red socks from above, caused one of the , Meseua hoys to “hit the grit’’ at an early : hour, and to become submerged iu a sea of j melanchoily. A certain young man and young lady in j Mesena held a heated theological debate ! not long since. Ho contended that Jonah swallowed the whale, while she held that a shark caught him. After a few hours dis enssiou thev both sgreed that they meant something more connubial. Mr. J. V. Thompson seems to be sus pended betwe n sky and grass. lie dou’t know whether to go this way that way, or anyway. Several girls are iu love with him aud he doesn't know which one will make the best milker. Mr. Joe Johnson speaks of visiting New Orleans soon, It is eaid he will be accoin panied by a very dear lady friend. Butte r aud tobacco are the leading ar ticles of commerce iu Meneua. Any one deairing a lull supply oan obtaiu it at great ly reduced prices. Mr. Dave Priutup made a flying trip to Mesena and thence across the way this week. The charming and beautiful Misses Bu lah Brinson, of Warrenton and Annie Rogers, of Gftu ak, visited friends and re latives here last week. Miss Mattie Faucett, one of McDnffie’a loveliest daughters, is visiting her sister, Mrs. (.'apt. Geesliug, near Mesena. PUBLIC ROAD NOTICE. GEORGIA—McDuffie County.
