Central Point Letter,
Editor Sentinel:—I have the
honor of writing the first letter
for the press that has ever been
written from liiis point. Though
this communication may not con
tain news of any import, yet it
affords me much pleasure to know
that I am communicating with
friends, with ^lioro by a few
years acquaintance, I have found
ties of friendship that I know
will never be broken. My next
thought is to tell you of what can
be seen in this part of old DoMy.
We are surrounded by many
farms which are in a high
state of cultivation, and have
made this year a good supply of
corn, potatoes, peas, syrup and
rice. Besides, we have a number
of fat hogs, fat niul s aud poor
cows; amd good children and bud
children ; bright, children and dull
children. Ths natural laws on
all sides claim exaction, and pre
sent their limitations over which
man cannot go without meeting
the penalty for violating the nat
ural laws. It may be brought on
by gluttonness or druukenness,
and it may be caused by igno
rance or mental worry; but iu a
temporal or money-making sense the
of view, it is brought on feeding by
pursuit of a course of
stock, or in the preparation and
cultivation of the soil.
In feeding stock, particularly
the horse kind, the quantity of
grain given should be governed by
the work the horse is doing.
Ground feed is far the best and a
great deal cheaper. I have de
cided by careful experiment that
even less of ground feed (say six
pounds of corn meal and three of
oat bran, slightly dampened with
water) will keep a horse in better
condition than anything that
could be fed to them. The ques
tion of ground feed for horses is
worth every man’s while in test-
DRESS GOODS. I invite you to come and see for yourself, can’t give
you prices and style of goods here. Come, the very latest, of course, are
JUST out and I’ve JUST gotten them in to show you. A glance through
this line will convince you the truth of this assertion. Some very late
stripe and plaid effects both in cotton and woolen fabrics cheap as the
cheapest. SHOES No stock is cleaner or more free from old stock than
mine. I boast that I have the very latest, up-to-date shoe department in
the county. Ladies’ shoes made of heavy Dongola, good, substantial
wearing quality, $1. Better grades of the above at $1.35 and $1.50.
School shoes! Your boy or girl needs them. Made of heavy Dongoia or
best pebble grain, solid, substantial shoe that look well, $1,25 value, $i
a pair. Gents! An enormpus trade on an enormously good shoe
has left me with a 6, 6 y 2 , 8, 8 % and 9. A shoe manufactured of ^4.50 box
calf, heavy extension soles and kid lined throughout, $6 values, for

he slimild Jet us hear from him.
We Southerners eat so much hog
fat. (which makes such bad blood)
it is not surprising that our chil
dren are so lazy and dull and
cross.
I notice that the Yorkshire and
Tamworth stock are in the lead
in England and have attained
their reputation by meeting the
demand for lean (not poor) hogs.
The Berkshires have been entirely
excluded in England. But the
former breeds are but HttR known
iu the United States.
- -Can’t some man with a big
brain and big sympathy for the
dull children and the lazy teach*
ers of the South, import some of
the Yorkshires and Tamworth’s
into this country ?
True education is preparing our
boys and girls to solve the prob
lems that confront them in every
day life. Aud it is a matter much
to be regretted that some teachers'
lose sight of the fact that it is
very necessary to look after the
diet and habits of their pupils,
and conform them, as much as
possible, to of hygenic the times measures. is

were trained in this way, that

A boy or girl may be- able to
solve different examples is several
arithmetics and algebras, and to
demonstrate the hardest geome
trical theorems, and to diagram,
analyze and parse the moot com
plicated sentences, and readily
read the ancient languages, and
yet, never give to the world a
thought of their own. Reader,
now don’t understand me to infer
that our children should aot un
derstand the school books, but the
boy or girl who has been taught
nothing else cannot produce a
single original idea, and is of no
help to the world. The man or
woman who is not sufficient
teacher to do practical work, or
in other words, to get out of the
text books, should come down
and out, of the highest calling natively in
life, and let those who are
fit, do the work.
I know the impression has gone
abroad that it is the school super
intendents who have placed most
