Politically speaking Enigma Is ns quiet as a lamb, While the balance of the world Is ranting mul tearing over polities and parties the voters in ibis section me moving on in the even tenor of Ihoir way-at work and will quietly vole for tlm right lmin when the time comes.

We were a little previous last week in sending a delegate to Xushvillo, but we didn’t Idse anything by being hasty, ns we sent a man who was wanted there anyway and wo also had the h-nor to pass the first democratic resolution to support the nominees of the party at the coming conventions, be they whom they may. and thereby pledg ing ourselves to principles and not to men. I.ot the majority rule is a good wholesome doctrine. Two now business lnuseH were opened hero last week. Sessions & Co.’s general store and .J, W. Grady's soda water, Mr, I. P, B lote is also prepared to cool men off during the hot summer canvass, so you hail better conic down, Mr, Editor, once a week to test their power. Sweet potatoes 75 cents a bushel and none on tfie market at that, What do you think about it farmers? A rooster can’t stay here and crow two mornings, Housewives, make a note of that mul let us’hear no more cry of hard times, Wo eat more than wo raise is the turiff that needs re form first. In connection with the. above, Mr. James T, Dobson gave me a mess of patllsnlls, for which I was very grate ful. Small gifts are just like cnp« of honey—very good, The reason that our farmers do not raise more potatoes and rice is that there is no swindle in them. The thrifty sued speculator cannot advertise a new anil enor mously prolific variety, and the dear cultivator knows at onco the whole concern hns “ no money in it, ” and therefore dociinos to make them, be cause he ((all make meat ami bread cheaper than lie can raise them. But then the farmers know their own business the best. Bill Nyc turns to ridicule the old times when people used to “go visit* ing mul stay Mul eat a week,” bul, as Sanclio Piinv, t says, “I’ll swear they were old Christians.” Not to be irreverent, give me old time visiting) it's good enough for me, fill, bow I enjoyed tlm home* raised- lioinc-nimle light broad mul nimie-raisoil lumey, and the frolic with the children. But nmv honey has become dmlelsli, and lirst-clnss is 15 cents a pound. I was requested lo notice the death of an eminent old rnttiesnnk two weeks ago, before Easier, hut forgot to write him up until I have forgotten whether lie was 1-1 foot long with seven buttons, or 7 feet long with fourteen buttons, but of one thing I mil sure, there were many feet mul many 1 buttons, and you can divide them according to the political views of each candidate. Our sister, Adel, is growing like Oliphttilt's potatoes, aeeoriling to the last number of the News, Now 01- iplinnt shall toll it himself, its I did not see it: "I had a rich cow-pen out on Flint river,” said he, “and I planted it in Brock yams, The ground was naturally good, and I thought I’d give 'em ii fair trial, but the season was very dry, and it didn’t seem likely they’d do nmeli, How ever, in the fall I uollood one evenin' that tlm ridges were pretty well craekeil open and I said, I’ll put file shouts on you in tlm mimim’; but just before sundown a little rain ennui up, I lay down nrlor while and I could hear something groan, ‘room,’ riiiini I’ Well, nrter a while 1 hoard thu fence fall, Next inornln’ wlieii I went out the latent had gl owed until they had hurst tlm ridges anil knocked the feneo down, mid every hog in tlm neighborhood was eaten ’em!” There Is an opidomld of billions disease in nml nrotiml here.
