Ou* whole community is sad over
the dangerous snd almost hopeless
illness of U. L. Weston, former ju
nior editor of the Journal. To
morrow be was to have been united
In marriage to one of Dawson’s
brightest, most useful and lovely
ladies,hut at pro-ent, unconscious,
he lies st the very gates of death,
heedless of the approach of the
dark rolling waves,bccdlrss of tears
and prayers. But He doelh all
things well. In Ilis hands we leave
him.
The Commercial Department ol
the College tins matriculated two
young ladles. We are delighted to
know this, snd wish them all sue.
, cess. The boys will have to put
on thinking caps.
Onr merchants arc cheerful, gone
to work with renewed ardor, bene
fitted by the lessons taught them
by stern experience.
Sunday evening is a favorito time
for buggy riding in our little city,
snd Cullcgo Avenue can boast of
some elegant "turn outs” drawn
by beautiful horses. Gallant boys
and ladies fair mske tho “out Bt"

No artesian water yet, and good
many wells minus water, notwith
standing the heavy rains.
There isacslm after every storm,
and hence, this week breezy, bright
days of sunshine, blue skies, and a
temperature that .reminds us of s
young May day. In onr afternoon
rides, we see the “two nines" on
Collcgp Hill, “hatting and balling"
with all the ardor and ambition or
perfect physical development,
and an interne zeal to “score as
many* innings” ss possible, it isn
pleasing sight, and the observer
can easily determine the character,
by the action displayed, you can
Rad determination, vim, and ener
gy Inaome, which promiaea well
for foture success In life. In oth
ers “inene, mene, tekel upharrin" is
as plainly written ss upon the fa-
mous city of Babylon of old. So
many boys there are, in our beau
tiful Southern land, who are blots
upon its fair surface, satisfied to
plod slong the old beaten tracks,
destitute of ambition, with no as
pirations after what is noble, vir
tuous, and great, creatures of ap
petite, pondering to the baser ap
petites, snd caring nothing for the
cultivation of tho mind. Their
souls an dead within them. What
a pity, and there Is but one reme
dy—education. Yet eo very few
realize and appreciate tho fact. It
Is so much easier to spend two dol
lars for n pleasant drive, than to
pay n months tuition; so muoh
more gratfying to watch the smoke
of two dozen fragrant Havana’s,
curling upwnrl, than to buy a few
needfol hooka for the little, eager,
earnest aspirant after'knowledge;
no much more satisfying to the in
ner man to drink half a dozen bot
tle of beer, than to purchase ap
propriate elntblng before starting
to school. Ah, parents, a fearful
responsibility is reetinc upon yon;
the souls of your children, many
of them, cry to yon from the shad'
owy land, snd call to you for an
acoount. How can you answer for
your criminal indifference, care
lessness snd neglect. Think of It.
Cmtivate the mind* of your chil
dren, open the windows of their
souls that beautiful and chaste
thoughts can find an indwelling.
Fill the Colleges and schools all
over the country with Inmates, and
ignorance and vice-will hide their
Heads in shame, and those most
dear to you will reflect honor
upon you, them»elvcs, and upon
their country.

our railroad will be built “all the

We meat now and then with
some of onr farming friends who
are disposed to argue that because

is in no wise progressing. Yet if
bis attention is called to the post
few years be will admit that our
farms have been improved; that we
have better bonses, better stock
and a decided improvement in im
plements. It is in this way yon
grow snd improve. Slowly it mav
be, but surely you improve your
real estate each and every year it
your management is judicious, and
your earnings are realised, notwith
standing you have no “board of
directors” to declare a dividend
for yon. Your lands improved
your stock increased each year, and
wo dare say If you could get at
the percentage your annual Increase
upon the capital invested
would exceed the rate allowed to
day rt the banks. Why not lurtbur
your interest by reorganizing your
“grange” and meet and exchange
views and discuss improvements f
