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.

The war in Africa cuts no ice with my prices you see. Don’t you? Come and glance through, no trouble to show you; sell you dozen pair socks for 60c., better and cheaper than knitting them. B. B. POUND. ing it for himself. It auv has an experience to the contrary 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 tendency knowledge lo of consider the simple the text books as being the only t.iai»ing that boys and girls, young men and laaiesy need. Bot th’is kind of teaching i» errone ous and damaging and will only prove later in life to those who were trained in this way, that looks are not real utid ar» not in earnest, and education is a fraud. 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 of the work in the hands of boy NO'. 2 r, l and girl teachers, lffsfead of men and women of experience; but this is untrue. The superinten dent contract with the tea* her, after the trustees have gp-Ven the teacher the school. For City Aldermen.
