If the South wants to boycot the meanest humbug in existence she should quit patronizing the refined lard trust.

February closed with heavy rains ami high waters, March came in quite cold and blustery. The order of the present time is log rolling and guano hauling. R. D. Yow & co. are furnishing the Alliance of Eastauallee and Liberty Hill with guanos, laid down at the Eastauallee switch. They will dis- pose of 100 tons at this place. They sell the guano and promise to furnish all the cotton bagging in the fall. Mr. Yow is a far-seeing man, and re¬ alizes the fact his main-stay is in the farmers of this section, and as no man is sufficiently independent to live to himself he is disposed to help others, thereby getting help from others. Sumpter & co. are laying down a large lot of lumber at the switch for shipment to other points on the road. Speed Stoneeypher is expected to set his mill down near here, shortly, on S. \V.

Smith is the leading stock man of this section. He deals mainly in mules, and has six fine yearling colts. lie says there is more money in them than in cotton, and as the keeping of them demands more corn and forage, it affords more pleasure in farming. Our hoys continue to make war on the hawks and owls, and have killed several lately. J. II. Hayes is the boss rabbit man. He kills more than anyone else, and wants no better sport than to get a pack of dogs after one. S. AY. Moseley has manifested a spirit of mechanism in the invention of a new ring and hoook for a back¬ hand. lie says he will not apply for a patent under the present adminis¬ tration, as the chances would be bi t¬ ter for Slat Davis ar E. L. Duckworth to get it than himself. AA’e arc glad to note the improve¬ ment in The Enterprise. The ed- itorials and locals are just splendid. The people of the county ought to ra Hy to its support and make it what it ought to be, the official organ of the county, as it is already filling a place in journalism long needed. Emin Pasha.

Resolved, That in taking leave of him it affords us pleasure to express our appreciation of bis uniform cour¬ tesy towards us, and of his painstak¬ ing labors in our behalf while under his charge, and that while our best wishes for his future welfare go with him hence, we trust that lie may find it convenient to give another oppor¬ tunity for instruction in our midst.
