RegardiesE-of small pox school
opened hero Monday morning
with a .very good attendance.
The teachers and pupils here are
clanuiring for the new school 1
books, and 1 suppose it is the case J
with.other teachers and pupils in
thecounty. It has been made the I
duty of the school «rjtfU«SJ 8 sioner 1
to distribute the new books,which of!
he will do ns soon as he is out
quarantine. The distribution will
be made from his home at Round !
Oak and hi? office>at Clinton. U-u-i
til the commissioner isoutofquar-{
au '' 1,e Bome provision may be
mn de to have the books handled
by other parties. j
The adoption of tko same line
of books all over the state seems
to be a good idea. It will be a
considerable saving of money,
iides getting the very best and tip
to date books. It will require a
little time to,getthe distributing
machinery greased up and in good
working .order. Until then let ev¬
eryone exercise aljttlo patience.
Everything new lias to be tinker;
ad at, tightened up, and adjusted
generally, before itwJl work sat¬
isfactorily.
After thinking the matter over
a little it is astonishing how much
of our everyday slang we got from
the bible. Tho last piece I notice
is “go sraty back.” lliave noticed
a lot of,other instances through
life but cannot recall the
•eilang at present.
Did anybody ever see the weath¬
er “do like it do?’’ It will cloud
up, bluster and blow, play thud-
,der a little bit, given* a small
drizzle drizzle, then fair off just
as nice. It reminds me of a big
old bull bellowing, pawing, scrap¬
ing and hooking the bushes mid
bank of a red gully.|Uieii looking
abound lum a minute or so, gaes
-on with the other cows. The
weather has been a.t this game for
six <or eight months. We inive had
raiu nearly every week. Stil, nil
told, we have had but little rain
in I can’t tell how long. The roads
get a little muddy on the top of
of the ground real often, but we
have not bad the comparatively
impassable mud we usually have
during the winter months. But I
mustn’t brnjb for lb® mud may
come yet.
“Credit bns opened” and corn,
oats, flour, meat and lard are com-
ing here m large quantities. A lot
of young mules have been bought
by the farmers of thi* section.
Guano will come in next, and
then look out for the whole face of
the dearth .to be planted in cotton.
Thirteen and fourteen cents per
pound will make almost anybody
plant the stuff.
CROUP.
The peculiar cough which indi¬
cates croup is usually well known
to tho motliera ot croupy children.
No time should be lost in the
treatment of it, and for this pur¬
pose no remedy 7 Jjas received more
universal approval than Chamber-
Iain’s Cough Remedy, Do not
waste valuable time in experiment
ing with untried remedies, no
matter how highly they may be
recommended,-but give this med¬
icine as directed and all symptoms
of croup will quickly disappear.

A Card-
To the boys along the line;
I am dot a candidate for clerk 1
of the superior court. It is a mis¬
take to think so. Five good men
in that race is sufficient, either
one being fully competent and
well qualified to fill the office. But
say, boys, when the campaign gets
hot and you stand in need of
cola, lemonade and cheroots come
to see me. To the five gentlemen
now in the race let mo say that
you cannot be too careful, for as
goon as it was rumored that I was
a candidate, some one cut a l, 0 ] e
in the fence that fours the back
wall of my hen hou r e so as to be
able to stand cn the street and

At the foot of the C a pit ('tine
Hill or between tho original Ro-
man and Sabine cities once stood
the temple of Janus. Tho uiomtb
of January was dedicated to him
and he was invoked before all
other deities, because the labor of
the husbandman began anew,in
that mouth. According to
tom the people were careful
that their thought*, words and
action* should be prre, benificent
and just. Aa we are living in a
laud where ail Christian denoiui-
nations disregard all deitinc ex-
cept. the lining God, would it not
be well to preserve the custom of
the ancient people in regard to
words, thoughts and actions,
knowing that the whole
mm of human life is affected often
most unconseiousiy by the shad-
ows cast Ujprvj it by thoughts,
words and deeds? Let us begin
witli the first month of the year
to follow the laws that wore hand¬
ed down on the two tablets of
stone through the tile clouds and
thunder to the good shepherd as
he rested on the luggtd path of
Sinei. If we will keep them in
mind they .will point out the du¬
ties of each day and will help to
guide life’s frail craft clear of the
breakers in the voyage of life.
What a wiso lawmaker was He
who cquld abridge and condense
in a few slnirt sentences all tho
law of .domestic happiness, the
purity of society, the security of
life and property and the prosper¬
ity of nations.
I am glad to note that the pub¬
lic is taking more interest in The
News. The last few editions are
unusually bright and newsy. I
often wonder if tho people of the
county ever pause to consider (he
duty they owe themselves in try¬
ing to make the county paper all
it should be. Any intelligent and
j energetic editor will fail of sue*
i cess unless he represents an intel-
ligent people that likes to have
the news from each section of the
county chronicled. Nothing adds
so much to a county’s interests as
a weekly paper to advertise and
build up its agricultural interest.
For several years there lias been a
growing bond of sympathy betwon
a great many of the weekly papers
and the farmers, and to-day the
condition of Gmse engaged in ng-
ricuMure is better than ever be-
fore. It is but sioiplis justice that
the sons ot the soil should be pros¬
perous, for on their shoulders rests
the prosperity of the nation. Wise
was the great King Alexander,
sho said : “Tlnere can be no power
without an army, no army with¬
out money, no money without ng-
riculture, no agriculture without
On Sunday, January 17, Mr. P.

This interesting event was at¬
tended by a host of relatives and
friends. The beautiful home was
lavishly and artistically decorated
with palms and bamboo, supple¬
mented by belly and mistletoe,
the scarlet and waxy white berries
of which, gave an added charm to
the general loveliness of the room.
There were no attendants. Tin-
notes of the ever sweet wedding
march announced to the wedding
party alren'dy assembled in the
front parlor, the entrance of the
bride and groom, who, proceeding
to the center of the reotn, paused
beneath a bower of evergreen.
from which a huge bunch of mis-
tletoe was suspended by broad
white ribbons. Soft strains of
music made more sweet and sol-
einn tho impressive ceiemony
spoken by Rev. Mr. Roberta.
The bride was gowtied in a sfy I-
isb tailor suit of dark blue zibe
line and carried an armful of bride
roses..
