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 Local Items. % Gourt is just two wecks from next Mon day.
