irregularities, which in'due time

B^turned—Mr John T. Bone,
who left Dallas and moved to
Alabama nearly a year ago. has,
we learn,returned to his old home
to remain. Welcome back. Af
ter all there are but few instances
where emigration really brings
substantial benefit. Men should
learn to be cou'ent, remain at
home, strive haider, earlier and
later if need be, and withal, us
ing judgment in all their affairs;
and peace and plenty and con
tentment will reign throughout
the luud.

Dallas Cemetery.—Is it possi
ble that there can be s<> li tie
interest in the bosoms of the peo
ple, friends, relatives, etc. as to
let our appeal go unheeded The
necessities of this case are ur
gent, and why do you allow your
city of the dead to become a wil
derness, and soon to be effaced
and forgotten? Of all places the
graves of the departed should be
looked after and kept under repair,
by the living, of course. Dallas
cemetery is a wilderness of which
our people should be ashamed.

Dallas, Ga., June 6th. '83.
Editors Era:—I have been
thinking for sometime that I
would reply to “B. H. O.” of Nebo,
he says, “So far the public school
system has done but little good
in this vicinity." I would say
that it has done much good in
this section, as we . have compe
tent teachers, and considerable
interest is being taken in edui ute-
ing our child ;eb. I would ad
vise “B. H. O., ’ together with
his friends, to try in tho fir it
placo to secure better teachers,
and teachers who will tench pri
vate terms as well an public, and
in the second case send your
children to school.

Except when the young swarm
I is driven out of house and home
and settle around their queen up
on the bough of some near frluifc
tree. We have a’new Apicist in
town. Our “Breck” volunteered
his muscular activity down at
his b larding house the other day
to hive a swarm of tbe black, hot
variety. Now, of all things in
the world, a black be had best
be let alone when he in quietly
settled aud hot. Well, “Breck,”
in the presence of many ladies
and gentlemen, procured a broom,
(very effeminate) and proceeded
cautiously ? to dislodge the little
symbols ol industry from their
•■itWv meut, boldly a wring that
they would march right into their
new home provided underneath
lor them, under tho m igic touch
of the broom, etc., ntc,.
“Breck” raked ’em ofl—reader
you have read of tho winding up
of that Gasabiaiica business, hav-
'nt you?—or have you over had
any immediate acquaintance with
a first class Georgia cyclone?
Tho bees wore hot, the thermom
eter registered evorywhoro in the
shade 03 drgrees nt that time,
and that is no doubt the reason
why the little workers came out
of Unit sweat box of theirs, sim
ply to cool off and r'-st. ‘‘Breck’s"
calculations were not based upon
an experience in a very large api
ary. They ro doubt meditated
an attack from so in- source, and
hud 1 .id their plans, as the sequel
has shown, well. A detachment
from the main body sallying out
mistook “Breck’s” orbital prom
inences for knots on a tree, and
forthwith proceeded to alight
thereon; and immediately the
broom went one way, the bees
another, and “Breck” vanquished;
retired in very bad order.
“Breck” knows all about the
business end of a hot, black oie.
