Candy stretching.
The children of the neighborhood gath¬
ered at Mrs Jane Ely's on Tuesday even¬
ing and enjoyed a candy stretching. In
the language of happy childhood, they
bad lots of fun.
Our Uornupondents.
Our large number of intelligent cor¬
respondents give us the news from all
over ihe county and thereby benefit their
own section by attracting public interest.
We thank them for past favors »»nd hope
they will continue to favor ns with week¬
ly contributions.
The College.
The college is not receiving the united
s ippoit of our people or the number in
attendance would bo much larger
There are many children in and around
town idling away the golden hours of
youth, and forming worthless habits,
that sh »tild he in school. W« can never
hope to have a better faculty Professors
Dozier aud Arnold are true men and
good teachers. All wish them success
iu a general way but how fe^r are work¬
ing for the college Remember that the
prosperity of a town depends in a large
degree upon a fine school* Your own
interest is identified with it and you can¬
not separate the two without injury to
yourself and the town. Let us go to
woik and never pause until the number
of pupils reaches a hundred.
The Literary Reading Circle.
Owing to the inclemency of the weath¬
er on Friday evening last the attendance
of the reading circle was not as large as
usunl. It was decided that the program
previously arranged by the committee on
entertainment should be postponed until
the next meeting which will be held this
evening again at the residenoe of Mrs A
B Copeland. The earnest solicitations of
friends drew Mrs Osborn Ely to the front
and she recited Longfellow’s “Excelsior’’
in a pleasing manner that won for her
the plaudits of the grateful company.
Some excellent music was rendered by
Mrs John Hudson, Misses Effie Mitchell
and May Hudson. The remainder of the
evening was spent in pleasant social con
vernation.
A Strange Freak.
A negro woman living in the Lower
19th district of this county gave birth a
few nights since to a singularly formed
child. It had a well funned body with
perfect limbs, bat its face was singularly
formed. It bad but one optical cavity
and that was in the centef of the face
where the bridge of the nose is. The
socket had an upper and a lower lid, bat
contained two eye bails. There was no
nose below the eye or «yos, but a protu
berance trorn the centre of the forehead
whion much resembled the snout of an
elephant. Ihe mwiistrocity dud almost
immediately upon its birth. It, weighed
about nine pounds.
Dr J W Mitchell, who attended the
mother, tried to get the freak to preserve
it, but the parents were unwilling, so it
was buried. The mother, during the
early months of uer confinement, was
badly frightened by a cat. Did this cause
the freak ? Will Beience ever anawer ?
Troubles of a Reporter.
The reporter now and then gets names
mixed and the mistake is usually followed
by some unpleasant contretemps. Once
an irate husband whose good wife had
been mistaken for another lady stalked
into the office with an I-demand-satisfao
tioa sort of an air, and in tones that in¬
dicated his desire for an affray, stated his
grievance. Our warlike nature was
aroused and we were about to answer his
demand for redress in a manner becoming
the fignting local of the Joubnal, when
our mild y tempered chief g* ntly inter
posed with an apology that quelled the
gentleman’s rutiled feelings. Being re
minded that we were young and inexoe
rienced, he excused us on that scoi , and
quietly took his leave. We were for war
aDd this amicable a jus meat did not
tally with onr injured feeliogs. Howev¬
er we submitted with that grace we have
ever shown under simi'a** circumstances
