Dr. Wisdom is dead.
The peach orchards are blooming.
March is beginning to be blustry.
The weather was so very inclem
ent this morning we could not at¬
tend church.
Mr. Colquitt Davidson of Moun¬
tain Hill, paid a pleasant visit to his
uncle yesterday.
Arrangements are being made to
paint Beech Springs church building,
and putting blinds to the windows
also.
A black baby was burned to death
near this place a few days ago. Care¬
lessness of its mother.
Mrs. Wm. Stripling died last week,
a few miles from this place, She left
four small children. What is home
without a mother? We have great
sympathy for the motherless little
ones.
VVe are given six .lays to Ho all
our work, on the seven 4 h should rest
from our labor, but we are fearful
that there are many who are busy
planning all day on Sunday, work for
the week instead of reading their bi

! 7 th inst. The Alliance meet at the
same place, but we presume not at
the same time. They are racing
with each other who shall do the
most good or harm. We do
know which.
Dr. Williams was compelled to kill
three cf his dogs which had been
bitten by a rabbiddog.
It is said when the Alliance’s fer¬
tilizer was brought into Chipley it
had to be issued out. Some of the
old soldiers said they were reminded
of the war when they had to draw
rations, instead of drawing, they
would grab. So it was with the gu¬
ano. One poor fellow got his two
sacks, anti as he turned to get his
team, they were grabbed.

Yom regular correspondent began
teaching young ideas to shoot—paper

and request me to fill her place, or
a place in your interesting paper this
week. Am not presumptious enough
to think 1 can do the former. Poor
Robie, this is her first attempt, and

perience. M\ ambition to become

ago, in fact, was murdered by twen

immense knowledge of profound lit
erature.
Old Hyem has again encircled us
in his icy arms and we tremble for
the fate of the early fruit, Some
think the entire crop destroyed, but
we hope, for the sake of our “city
cousins,” who usualy come up on a
short visit of two or three months in
summer, that this report is exager
ated. They would be so dread f ul)y j
disappointed,
Dr W. H. Campbell, of near Moun¬
Hill, has retnrned from the “Gate
City” where he has been for the past
few months taking lectures. He spends
the spring and summer months at
home.
No, “Bess,” Robie did’nt ‘ trip

the dance mentioned, and also a
church member, and would like to
have you tell us if you do not think
that the harm (if there is any) consists

Something extremely funny came
under our observation here not a
great while ago. An absent-minded
young man, who was “off” from
home, tore a leaf from his “pocket
memoranda » and wrote his gir , a hur .
ried note to call; printed on top o j
the page in blazing capitals was— •

Regina, since- you take magnified
delight in stating that your Bache¬
lors intend remaining respectfully(?)
the same, we find equal pleasure in
saying that a few young men are still
left who are “ours to command,” and j
it is our impressed conviction that |
they have no wish to become Bache¬
lors, or ever lemainiug “the same.” |

She has left us sad and lonely!—
yes, Liza-Anne is gone—“where
the woods bine twineth.” Miss Em
ma” turned her off last week and -
thought ‘twas “good riddance of bad |
i
rubbage,” but since March has been
fanning us so furiously, and nobody
to make fires, a change has come
over the spirit of her dreams and she
does nothing but sit in the corner
and sigh for the departed Liza-Anne,
who is, at present, much too indignant
to return. !
A young man, extremely young in \
experience) who lives in a “sister vil¬
lage” visited here some weeks ago,
went home and stated that he came
down here drinking and one of our
young ladies rode all over the moun¬
tains with him. The statement was
entirely false. How gladly would
we impress the following lines of the
minds of all our readers, and espe
cially the bright t?) ruind of the young
man above mention :d:
“True worthjis in being, noHH
In doing each day that dream! goeHj
Some little good; not in
Of great things to do bye and Ij< I *
Whatever men say in their blindness.
And in spite of the fancies of youth,
There is nothing so kingly as kind¬
ness,
And nothing so royal as truth!”
Respectfully, “Pythias.”

he will stop his march in time tosa^e

Mr. Henry Ennon has lost his last
milch cow. She died quite sudden¬
ly We can’t tell what the disease
was. Some think it was eating cot¬
ton seed from the compost pile.
Mr. Wm. Sharp, of Tuskegee,Ala.,
spent a few days with his parents last
week. He brought several different
kinds of geraniums to a certain young
lady in our town. She says he brought
them to her mother. That is all very

Our saw mill has been on a stand

hear the signal whistle again soon.
We have a young bachelor in our
settlement I think is getting tired of
the business. Some girl had better
look out. He had an engagement
Saturday, but he couldn’t face the
music. It rained all the afternoon,
and he wandered about looking as
gloomy as the weather was, but he
says he will try it again. So look
out girls, he will be there next Sun
day and make up all lost time in
sight-seeing looking at the Blue
pf> Farmers’ n g- alliance has been the talk |
of the day for the past few weeks,but
we have something new now. 1 he
railroad is the talk now. Some say it
will come one way,some another. One
old gent who has a few silver threads
among the gold says he knows every
foot of those mountains and could pilot
them through where they would have
but little tunneling to do. They are
looking for it down about Don.

The Funereal Mouth Of Mareh«
An observant metiopolitan barber
says that he can tell one’s physical i
condition by the stale of the hair!
The bible tells us that with his
hair gone Samson lost his strenth.
The Romans considered baldness a
serious affliction and Julius Caesar
was never quite satisfied with himself
because his pod was bare.
IT ^face, however, is the open
and one can readily trace in its
Zious expressions, lines, changes
nd complexion the state of the sysg
tem.
The eye that is unusually bright
and yet has pallid brightness, the
face upon whose cheeks nature
paints a rose of singular beauty and
flush, more marked in contrast with
the alabaster appearance of tne fore
head and nose and lower part of the
face, is one of those whom the skilled
physician will tell you will some day
dread the funeral month of March,
because it is then that consumption
reaps its richest harvest. Consump¬
tion they tell us is caused by this,
that and the other thing, by mic obes
in the air, by micro organisms in the
blood, by deficient nutrition, L-y a
thousand and one things, but what¬
ever the cause, decay begins with a
cough and the remedy that will effec¬
tually stop the ckuse of that cough
cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of a
wasting. To stop it effectually, a
remt^y must be used that will search
out the cause, remove that and then
heal the lung and do away with the
cough. This is the power, special to
itself possessed alone by Warner’s
Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy- This is no new-fangled no¬
tion of narcotics and poison, but an
old fashioned preparation of balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used by
our ancestors many years ago, the
formular of which has been secured
exclusively by the present manufac¬
turers at great trouble and expense.
It is not a mere cold dryer. It is a
system-searcher and upbuilder and a
consumption cxpellant. Where oth¬
ers fail, it wins, because it gets at the
the constitutional cause and removes
it from the system.
J. VV. Henshaw of Greensboro,Pa.,
„„ Ja „ ^ l8g8 repoted ^
had derived more rea , benefit for the
length of time, from Warner’s Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption rem¬
edy than he had for years from the
best state physicians.”
If you have a cough, night sweats,
“positive assurance in your own mind
that you, oh—you, have no consump¬
tion”, and yet lose flesh, appetite,
courage, as your lungs waste away,
you may know that soon the funeral
month of March will claim you, un
less promptly and faithfully you use
the article named. If other reme
*
dies have failed try this one thorough
ly. If others are offered, insist the
more on trying this unequaled prep
aration.
Some persons are prone to^ con
sumption and they should never al¬
low the disease to become seated.
