Our Correspondents. LAVONIA. La grippe has hold of the people of our town. Mrs. J. A. Callahan has been sick, but is up again. James Kiilingsworth's new build¬ ing is going up rapidly. Did you ever see so many guano and provision wagons ? Prof. A. L. Barge, the cbirogra- pher, is in town getting up a writing class. Uncle Billy Bowers says lie didn’t know he did have so many friends. He is supervisor of census, you know.

Saver among the sick. Hope to see them out again soon. W. B. Harrison’s addition to his dwelling is nearing completion, and when completed will add much to the beauty as well as convenience of his place. There is a new voice'to he heard in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Swilling—the voice of a girl. They are proud of the little stranger, and we extend to them our congratula¬ tions. Ke-ki-ou-kah, Star, the Indian lect¬ urer, was on our streets Monday, lie will lecture here some time next week. Go to hear him, he will in¬ terest you. Ilis first lc^Hire will be a free one. Mr. Fred Weibens, of Hartwell, lectured to fair crowds at the academy on the evenings of the 14th and loth inst. We were not in the city, con¬ sequently did not hear him, but those who did pronounced him both inter¬ esting and instructive. We record with sadness the sudden death of one of our neighbors, Mr. J. IT. Vickery, which occurred at his home on Sunday, 16th inst., at 1 o’clock, p. m. Mr. Vickery was in usual health Sunday morning, and was preparing for a drive to Toccoa. While standing by the bed playing with his baby just before starting be took suddenly a severe pain in his head, which was the beginning of a paralysis that soon affected his whole frame. He said to his wife, “I be¬ lieve I am going to die,” and these were his last words. Dr. Lester was called in at once, and Dr. Ketcher- side, of Martin, reached him in a short time, but their labors were in vain, “the golden bowl was broken, Mini (ho pitcher was broken at lii« fountain,” and at 1 o’clock without a struggle the spirit of ,f. li. Vickery took its journey to that bourn from whence no traveler returns. Mr. Vickery was an industrious, enter¬ prising man, and to his untiring en¬ ergy is due his financial success. We foci sorry for Mrs. Vickery and tin* children, and mingle our tears with theirs in this hour of unusual sadness to them. lie was buried in a metalie casket at Toccoa Tuesday morning, V Aiioo. BOYNTON. Mrs. El'tie Cary is ill. The farmers are very busy hauling fertilizers. B. B. Westmoreland is sick with the la grippe. Two droves of mules passed thro’ town last week. C’upt.

Turner, the book agent, was in town several days last week with his book, lie seems to be doing a lively business. Frank M. Cook. EASTAXt LLEE. J. C. McCarter and wife are visit¬ ing relatives here. E. S. Stonecypher, of near Carnes- ville, has been visiting bis parents at this place. He is just recovering from the measles. Candidates are beginning to bud out, and there seems to be some fear on the part of the would-be candi¬ dates that the Alliance will verge in¬ to a third party and carry the day. We wish to say there is no danger, as the Alliance is not for party but for principle—a principle for right, doing t he greatest good for the great¬ est number, with no class legislation in favor of the trusts and combines at the expense of toiling classes. The man who gets the support of the farmers’ Alliance will have to pledge himself to this end. Tlie question in The Enterprise of “Hired Labor vs. Tenants” has cre¬ ated no little sensation among the people, and at an informal meeting the question was argued pro and eon. The following conclusion was reached: It is best for both landlord and la¬ borer to run on the tenant system, provided you can get good tenants that will work the land to advantage, pay him for all repairing, such as cleaving, ditching, fencing and ter¬ racing. If lie is not a good tenant he is not likely to make a good hand when hired, as his knowledge is not of such as to trust him by himself. Sometimes we cry, Sometimes we laugh, Sometimes its cold, Sometimes it’s hot. But for all this we have never wit¬ nessed such a transformation in the seasons as the present, It verily seems as if winter and spring had changed places, spring coming in the first quarter and winter the second. March lias produced more snow, ice and chilly winds than all the months before. Sabbaths are so cold the preachers are fearful if they under¬ take to exhibit their congregations will complain of freezing to death. Some of our farmers, becoming im¬ patient during the balmy weather of February, commenced planting corn, and now they are sighing for fear the cold weather will rot it and they w ill have to plant over. A question that should immediately eoneeiii evci * ilizeil of the L'Util t tV is a dog law. When it known that there is within the of the comity thirty dogs to sheep, and that these dogs are being fed to the neglect of a great many children, it behooves every eitir.cn in the county to use their influence to have every dog in the county taxed, and add the. money to the common school fund, thereby increasing the same, and giving us the chances of longer terms of schools and bettor "teachers.
