quantum of inexcuseable folly in
last. Your idea of the results of the
receding year, based as it is, upon
plausible data, in my humble opin
ion does not touch the true issue,
involved in reviewing the years la
bors, as to cause and effect in its
want of success. 1 might say just
here that error has more agency in
the fact of a short crop’ and unpaid
balances, than both wind and tide,*
but unpleasant truths are difficult
of belief and sometimes it is best
to leave theniAiusaid. Were I in
clined to review the events of the
past year* and offer criticisms upon

We regret to learn of the murder
of Mr. L. A. Beall, as liE* was quite
popular here. He was related to
Captain Beall of the Carroll County
Times, and also distantly related
to the writer. Lynn, who killed
| Beall, js well known here, as he
worked in the gold mine in * the
year 1878, with Mr. J. R. P. McCar-
lev. He was hero then to es
cape detection, for killing another
man. He is quite intelligent and
was popular on account of his fine
conversational powers.

The farmers had got a right goed
start before the cold weather set in.
I notice several new gardens built
and several new grounds cleared
and a good deal of stubble ground
broke up. But this cold spell will
throw' thein back again. There are
several adding to their buildings
and building new houses. It seems
that there is a general spirit of im
provement.
We will say to Bro. Ripples, if
he will come over we will have
some back bones and spare ribs and
more sausage than Carter had*oats,
although we don’t live under the
stock law. We have some good
hogs already killed and some more
to kill, so we will have meat this
year, and bread too, if we live. We
do not aim to buy this year.
Brother H. from Villa Rica seems
to think some of them will be can
didates this year. Well we will
say if Bro. H. does run he is a clev
er gentleman but we thought he
had quit politics and gone into the
guano business. Will say to Bro.
H. we hadn’t thought much about
any candidates down here yet, but
may think something about it after
the guano season is over. There
are several important offices to be
filled by this time next year and
some of us may become candi
dates to fill some one of them if we
think there is a good chance to be
elected.
Hog killings and weddings are
nearly over for the season, and so,
w’e will go to farming, when the
weather breaks.
Query: Why is a lazy boy like a

Some trading and changing of
property. Mr. Thomas Cook from
Temple has bought fifty acres of
land from Mr W. H. Hendrix and
moved too it, also Mr. Git Cook
has bought fifty acres from the
same man, and moved to it, and
Mr John McGukin, has sold his
farm to a Mr. Blalock, from Camp
bell county and Mr McGukin,
bought out a Mr. Lester, all in Car-
roll.
Mr. Campbell, that bought
the S. E. Morris place has built
four new houses for his tenants.—

Mr. Thomas W. Dimmock of this

in reference to him and his work:
“A circular has been recejypd from
Mr. Tlmmas W. Dimmock, Mis

the incoming year presents a clou
ded picture, the shadow of the one
gone by. But is this the harbinger
of coming destitution, or is it not
rather the inspiration of a deter-
eiimition to make available all the
resources within otil 4 poVAT hm the
betterment of bur situation, and a
living faith that our sum will still
be genial and our seasons propi
tious, the earth fruitful, and our
harvests plenteous. If the surroun
ding circumstances do not inspire
us with such resolves and hopes as
these, then we must conclude that
we are a]l drifting info skepticism
and gathering in the twilight of an
infidel age, where the hand of De-
itv no longer touches the evening-
cloud with the golden tints of heav
enly beauty, nor illumines our eas
tern sky with the bow of promise.
Your last suggestion upon the sub
ject iff a well guarded prudence
upon the part of the farmer is both
and well timed. Economy
should be our watchword, and with-
it, indeed at all times our life
moving here, “twenty nine years
ago,” is upon us now. Jt is too eqld
to cut wood, and too cold not to cut
it, so we are in a fix.
We hope you a happy new year.
