SIDK'VAY’S LKTTKJ’.
The few pleasant days of lust
week were v elwimed as t he hnrhin
ger of approaching Spring, when
jack frost, nipped these hopes
with a visit, followed hy bleak
day’s, demonstrating that, old win¬
ter yet reigned and Spring must
depend on the rapid advance of
old Sol with his lengthening days
and direct rays to decide the va¬
rying contest.
The fruit tree men are in our
midst this week, Milling of course
new and superior varieties that
give perfect satisfaction in the
distant states whom they have
been thoroughly tested.
Last week two young men were
in our section repairing sewing
machines.-McNamra of Kentucky
nnd Spencer of New Jersey. Af¬
ter serving An apprenticeship with
the Singer Mfg. Co. they set out
n foot to gratify the desire to
travel and see the country. Cuba
hnd all portions of the United
States have been visited—making
fi specialty of the large cities and
places of historic note. The re¬
pair work affords fair compensa¬
tion—paying more than necessary
expenses—making them independ¬
ent to ride or walk, both being
athletes. Spencer holds the rec¬
ord as the second best runner in
the United States. We listened
with interest to the scenes, trials
and dangers they refered to. One
bears the scar of a shot received
in the moon shine district of Ken¬
tucky, where he was taken for a
revenue detective. After his in¬
tended slayers saw their error he
was provided with every comfort
•and attention ’till his recovery
free of oust. The most, of man¬
kind would consider tlu irs a hard
life, but they express themselves
ns liking it and contented—all
that any one can hope for.
Mrs. John Smith of this locali¬
ty owns a cow that gave birth to
two calves, a male and female.
T iis will do for olje in the stock
business but not for the dairy—
judging from the average cow this
.time of year.
We take pleasure in stating the
acliool is full and moving on
smoothly. In addition t<> the
Tegular duties of the neck is the
rinnday-Hchool and every two
weeks the debating society. The
subject at the next meeting is
“which is the most detrimental to
a country, whiskey or whr?” I
suppose the doors will ho thrown
open to the public, and if the
weather is agreeable many arc ex¬
pected. In another locality the
subject was which was the most
useful “fire or water?" One w ith
n logical turn of mind said “they
were both indispensable, so much
so that 1 m considered it, a waste of
time to discuss it,” nnd on mo¬
tion it was dismissed. These op¬
portunities ought to l>e apprecia¬
ted for the advantages afforded in
giving expression t„ thought and
otherwise aid in developing and
perfecting the coming orators,
some of whom will doubtless be
pleased to serve their country as
it has been in past. ages.
A few weeks later when the
weather becomes mild wo will be
disappointed if the medicine and
book men fail to put in an ap¬
pearance. In fact wo are prepar¬
ed to expect the agent for any¬
thing but the bicycle, and ingo
nuity will some day invent an
attachment by which a farmer
con ballonce himself, then the
sales will begin in tin spring to be
paid in the fall.
After a sejge of several months
from measles and mumps we are
glad to state they have left—not
ft case heuid ot in se\i-ral weeks,
tarter belts, who is well
favorably known in Clinton, re-
feived a severe thrashing from
Dave Giles’ daughters last
day week. He has not been seen
nud is supposed to have gone to
Monroe or Henry county. His
friends of the town w ill doubtless
look after him and see lie lias not
been foully dealt with.

Miss Ola Womack, a charming

Our little school was visited by
quite a number of voting ladies
Friday afternoon. Among them
were Misses Lula Harris, Mamie

Moore and Ola Womack. Come
again, young ladies, we ate glad
to have you at any time.
There was quite an enjoyable
intortuiiiment given on Thursday
evening at the residence of Mr. J.

Harris. Music was furnished by
Miss Ola Womack and was certain¬

present.
We would like to know’ where

CORNICOPIA SIFTINGS.
BY KM PERKINS.
Mu. Editor: —I hope you did
not feel much disappointed last
week by the non appearance of
my scanty locals. 1 dislike to be
tardy in my communicat ions, and j
if I had nothing else to do but to j
look around and catch all the |
float ing topics I would never miss j
a week, but if you have ever been
a farmer doubtless you know
something of the advantages and
disadvantages of such a profes¬
sion. Farming is my profession by
birth and choice, I love it. I love
it for several reasons. First, be¬
cause it is pleasant, second, 1 e-
caitse it is legitimate, third be¬
cause it is Jionorabic, fourth and
hestjof all because it is healthy.
“Health, the first and best of all
blessings of life, is preserved and
fortified by the practice of agri¬
culture. That state of wellbeing
which we feel and cannot define;
that self satisfied disposition
which depends, perhaps, on the
perfect equilibrium and easy play
of vital forces, and makes every
exertion of our faculties a s ur :e of
enjoyment; this inestimable state
of our bodily functions is most
vigorous in the country, and il
lost elsewhere, itis in the country
we expect to recover it. When we
walk abroad in nature, we go not
as artists to study her scenes, but
usher children to rejoice in her
b -antv. The breath of air, the
blue of the unclouded sky, the
shining sun and the green softness
of the undo we red turf beneath our
feet, are all that we require to
make us feel that we are trans¬
planted into a region of delights.
Of all occupations, that of agri¬
culture Is best calculated to in¬
duce Jove of country and Jrivet it
firmly bn the heart. No profession
is more honorable, none more
conducive to health, peace, tran¬
quility and happiness. More in¬
dependent than any other calling,
it is calculated to produce an in¬
nate love of liberty. ” But with all
of its congeniality and illustrious
attitude, it requires dose atten¬
tion to make successful. Its sci¬
ence seems almost beyond com¬
prehension, indeed it is exclusive¬
ly so with a young and inexperi¬
enced aspirant like myself. But
as afore stated, I love it. 1 love
a farm life and 1 would to God
that thousands of others would
like it that do not. There is too
much moving to town. It is inju¬
rious to the country financially
and morally It affects churches,
Zenilv fiCl r^Lnslmm one l tiH
suggest'the idea that I have never
tried anything else? I have had
three years exnerieneo ZtXiZ n other
w
ducements to continue, but “this
inestimable state of my bodily
functions” was “most vigorous in
tho countrv, nnd in the country ]
expect to retain it.” Now, Mr Edi-
tor, if my communications are
wreckedjjand fail to rea-h you n«
any .me ,n future you will please
attnbute.it to rush ot business. I
w ill promise,•however, to exert all
means possible to make schedule
time.
