I’ll be glad when from this earth [it shall melt and go. The .Snow, the Snpw, the beautiful Sndwq that falls on the hill-tops so high, and down injfee valleys so low, spreading its white carpet everywhere. 1 trust you i’ll never again from your Arctic home, thitherward blow, Go, oh Snow, beautiful Snow, and with thy crystal sleet, drop, in the Frigid Zone seek thy lair. We’ll ne’r feel lone, and remember you too, if you ’ill remain forever there. We heard a darkey, the other day, ask W. W. Jordan for credit to run his farm on this year. He pleaded for quite a while to get assistance, but was repeatedly re¬ fused. During the conversation, the darkey was asked what land he was going to cultivate. He replied, and Mr. Jordan said, f am going to plant some adjoining that in watermelons. Where¬ upon the darkey remarked, dats all right den, Mr. Jordan, if u’s gwine plant watermillions elose to dare, I don’t need no credic. I can make out wicLout credic. Santa Claus, in his last rounds, paused to present a gift at the home of Mr. Kingman Lowe which has added materially to his domestic bliss. It was " a sweat young rural maid, and the firstborn. Long may she live, and in coming years, with roseate cheek lend additional beauty and grace to the sylvan scenes among which she moves. Dr. Kinney went to Fort Val¬ ley last week on business, but be¬ fore returning, he combined pleasure with his trip. Doctor has a happy faculty of combining pleasure and business at all times, but most especially, when he goes southward, and travels over that elevated Nancy Hank’s log track behind a snail-gait en¬ gine that pulls out of Fort Val? ley. It takes his pard, however, to get there on the “Wnillie Leaunx Track.” He caivmove up and rattle his hocks with such surprising speed that all things else look miles behind before they are ever reached. ■----- i --- Gailliard Dust.

Administrators. By virtue of an order from the Board of Education of Crawford Up. the following extracts from sections’ 86 and 52 of the Common School Laws are printed iuffh'e Correspon DENT. Section St S* “That admission to all Common schools of this State shall ha gratuitous tb allohildren be¬ tween the age of wix and oighteeu years, residing in the sub-districts in which the school is located.” Section 52. “Provided that noth¬ ing in this act shall be so construed as to prevent any common school scholar from entering said school as pupil, if the parent or guardian of said pupil shall elect to enter him or her for the period of the public term, and upon the merits of the common school fuud only.

H. F. Sanders, CVS. C. SanU^KPIge K?ws. Mr. Editor:— We have had the biggest snow we have ever seen in this county and in consideration will say the coldest winter up to the present time. Old uncle Lewis, a negro man 'iving on the premises of Mr. Wade Seaglar, died very sudden¬ ly one uight- last week. He was quite old and well thought of by all who knew him. Chunks of ice were seen float¬ ing down fimt River this week as as dwelling houses. It is quite deplorable to see so wagons hauling fionr, ba¬ and corn, so soon in the sea of the year. Mr. Lee Spillers missed his horse one night last week and it supposed to have been stolen. I feel proud to have the privi¬ through your columns, to my conscience from bottom of my heart, in letting the people know the sentiment I in behalf of rny county the C. 0. C. Wo have our being, while we and the very great pleasure secure for ourselves onr rights. why not cherish those hob'es belong to us and devote minds to objects that, are fit our consideration and action. Our comprehensions should *• broad as the things for which we act. We should render cheerful¬ ly our conceptions tb the magni¬ tude and the import a net < u the* duties that devolve upon us with absolute disregard of any person a! consequences. And now in conclusion will say, the people of Crawford bounty have- long felt the want of a good newspaper and often so many efforts have been made, they have at last succeed¬ ed through the auspicies c f the Correspondent published by Mr. J. M. Richardson, a gentleman of intellect and well capacitated to carry out the business he has undertaken. Reis not only a graduate in. Eng]i ; sl^ () Latip.,. etc., but Ims all the ample facilities of a short hand reporter. Ft this means he has the many advan Liges over others heretofore, in reporting speeches and sermons through hfs columns by short hand dictation. So with such a pt.por as the O. 0. C. is, and the beneficent support of the people generally, it ought to be a beacon light to guide us as enlighten people on the road of success and prosperity, and ought to be the means of advancing social life and constructing and building up new enterprises. We as common sense people ought to throw our prejedices aside, if any we haye," and sacrifice our differences for the good of our county and its pa¬ per. If ignorance is bliss, why not act folly by taking your own county paper and become wise. Fool Killer.
