I .otter From Little Girls.
j The fo'hiwiiHj communication was
[ written to the senior printer by two
* little girls attending school at the
: Line academy, taught by Miss Ellen
i Pruitt, and request that it be pub
i lished in The Gazette.
The senior extends to the little girls
i his hearty thanks for the compliment,
and asks to Ik* remembered in their
prayers that be may i.e worthy the
high honor thus conferred.
God bless the little girls and guide
their footsteps in the path of duty
that they may wield a powerful in
fluence for the upbuilding of His
kingdom in the earth.
Here is tho letter:
Mr. Hakes :
Our teacher told all the little girls
to write a letter to someone and try
to see who could write the best letter.
My little classmate (Addie Jones)
and I (Rena Campbell) thought we
would write to you, and our teacher
says if we will write a nice letter she
will let us send it to The Gazette
for publication.
We will tell you about our school
and what a nice time we have. Wt
are in the second reader, and know
half of the multiplication table. We
are in addition. Miss Ellen says she
is going to send Santa Claus wora to
come and see all the little children
who are good, and we are going to
try and be smart and good so he will
come to see us. We had the picture
of oar school taken. We wish you
could see it.
We go to school to Miss Ellen
Pruitt. We love her very much.
She is so kind to us all. She never
has whipped any of the little girls yet.
but she flogs the little boys sometimes.
But you know all hoys are bad and
have to he whipped. We wish so
much to see the little girls at Mount
Carmel mid Silver Shoal we hear Miss
Ellen speak often of her little friends
there. We are going to have vnea
tion soon and we will be so sorry;
we like to go to school. Miss F.ileti
says she is going to see which one of
the little girls will write her the best
letter during vacation. We are going
to try and see if we can’t write a
good one.
We wish so much you would have
Irlittle folk's column in Tins Gazette.
BVe little ones like to be heard from.
We have funy speeches: I, (Rena)
Subject—“ Cats ou tho Table.” I,
(Addie) Subject—“ Dried Apple Pie.”
The little boys write letters too, and
such funny letters. They write about
cats and dogs. Some of the girls write
about dolls and flowers.
We hope you will not consign this
to the waste basket. Our sisters,
Minnie and Mattie, says they are
going to write to you soon. We are
in tho same class and love each other
so much. We never get mad. Miss
Ellen says we are good childron.
We know you are weary reading
a letter from little girls only seven
years old. Of course you would
rather receive one from one seven
teen. But never mind, we will be
young ladies sometime, and then—
Your Little Friends.
Stock Law.
Editor Gazette:
1 was opposed to the stocklaw, first,
last and all the time, and am still op
posed to it in principle, b.t no man
yields to the wishes of the majority
more gracefully than myself, and I
am satisfied with it if the law be
strictly enforced. But there is too
much carelessness. Neighbors dis
like to put up stock and cause their
frientls to pay out money, but I for
one am in faver of putting up every
loose cow, horse, hog, or other ani
mal found outside. It is too bad to
have our oats, wheat, and other crops
destroyed after so much hard labor
in making them. I repeat let us en
force the law to the letter.

is said, he has persistently demanded
some restriction of the liquor traffic.
For three years his ministers have
been collecting statistics and evidence

that has been sanctioned by the Bun
derath. It decrees the withdrawal
of saloon license, the finding of saloon
keepers who encourage drunkards to
buy liquor, lines for drunkards if they
are poor enough to have fines deter
them from drinking, and imprison
ment if the are rich enough not to
feel the tine.

pickles one morning when the little
girl came into the kitchen, and watch
ed the proceedings with great interest.
“What aie those things, auntie?” she
inquired after awhile. “Pickles,
dear,” replied her busy aunt.
Pickles!” cried Laura, very much sur
prised. *‘\Vhy, my mamina don't
make that kind of pickles; she makes
the long-legged kind.”—Youth’s Com
panion.
It took a quart of whisky, drunk
at one draught, to kill a Maine man
the other day. This only shows what
a vast amount of the poison can be
stowed aw ay before a fatal result, by
a system fortified by long abstinence
in a prohibition state. —Atlanta Jour
nal.
The proper kind of immigration—
