I have just returned from the
neighborhood of I’arrish's Mill and
must say I found the farmers as a
general tiling rather hack ward in
their preparations for planting, and
complaining of hard times. Thin

for while we saw many Helds with
the stalks of lust year's crop standing
untouched, others were cleared and
in good condition for planting. I

IVoiii Mercer tot vers By.
Macon*, February ‘20th, 181)2.
For some time prist. Dr. Snmnlly, of
Mercer, has been exporting a visit
from Dr. F. T, Mates, of the Ameri
can Baptist Kdueational Society. Dr.
(iat.es has been called to New York
by tin* management of the society,
and Dr, Nunnally has recently re
ceived a Idler from hint raying that
a full statement of Mercer** aee,mints
he sent on immediately, 'rids, Dr,
Nunnally has done, and he himself
Will follow it in time to meet with
the society in March. Mercer’s ac
counts show that while the college is
not practically wealthy, still it is in
good condition and fully able to keep
up the high standard which it has
always maintained.
The #8,000 installment on the
#10,000 recently raised by Dr. Nun
nally and his colleagues, has been
paid in, and with this excellent show
ing tin* Doctor expects to induce the
society to largely increase the en
dowment fund of #10,000 which has
been promised. Dr. Nunnally says
Mercer must have a reading room,
and this fact alone iimures its success.
He is always planning for tin* hoys,
and this is especially a movement in
l Ik- right direction. Its success w
depend largely on the Interest taken
in it by the boys, as it is especially
for I heir benefit.
Dr. Nunnally i* highly in favor oi
establishing a normal school at Mer-
eer. I le says many of the boys leach
during the summer, and doubtless
they find tbeniselvch very deficient
in tin* art of teaching, and more or
| less “ru <ty" in t he elementary
branches, lie thinks if tin-* normal
school nIioiiM lie opened every y
•i few weeks before eoiumemeiiu.
ii would b<> the means of imparting
line'll valuable information on ill
subject of teaching; and would thus
enable (be young nun better to un-
d{w*l.ind what will be required
Ilieui a- teacher*, and how to per
form those duties to the best advan
tage. Whv could noisome philan
thropic man of Meorgia come to the
aid of our two literary societies just
now, in cstabli-hing a printing otliee
at Morrery It would certainly en
able ns in publish mi:* paper ill a
much smaNer cost, and would also
add a very grand feature I" the col
lege, in as fum h as it would the boys
lo till lucrative *puMlions in the fu
ture. We have several good printers
among m* now who could soon learn
"i.aiv others without any actual out
lay of money and with but little time
and labor spent. The necessary out-
lit Would ptobablv cost si\ hundred
dollam. We could then have the
paper under our immediate supervis-
ion, which would relieve u-* of much
embarrassment and confusion. Hav
ing set Up tin* type, we could take
the forms to one of the pressmen of
M.ieoii and have t lm paper printed
for a mere trille.
It is indeed a pleasure to bear the
lectures on physiology and bvgi *ne,
delivered by Dr. I\. IV Moore. He
uses anatomical charts to illustrate
Ids discourses. Notes are taken at
each lecture and questions linked on
the lecture last delivered, It is very
essential to a liberal education that
one should have a knowledge of his
physical nature, and of the laws gov
erning (Ik* preservation of good
health.

The ways of the wicked ace pant
linding out, Imt the wicked eon-
fldenco men wlio have lmen
fleecing victims by tiie thou
sands all over the country, have
been detected at a new game.
In several states the endowment
assoe’ation hits played out, so to
speak, and it would seem that
there would lie little need of
“supremos” taking to the road
again, But such is not the fact.
They, or their agents, are now
reported ns soliciting customers
for “supply associations” which
claim to furnish their customers
with a “cheap and safe means of
obtaining, hy our easy payment
system, any article of clothing,
or in fact almost any article car
ried in stock hy large wholesale
houses.” The cheapest and
safest way is to turn your hack
upon this kind.of gentry, should
they visit Tiftou and vicinity.
Thu local dealers whom one can
rind “at home” every time, when
wanted,are in lmsincss,it istruo,
to make money, hut competition
compels them to make Imsto
slowly in getting rich; not so
with the other eatch-tne-if-you-
eati sort of a chap. “Trade at
home” is a good motto; if you
cannot do this, trade with some
responsible person. Wo hope
nur former friends and custom
ers will consider this.
Yours for what is right.
